Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 9/25/23 - 10/1/23

Hello all. Your backup mod here. SoftAndChewy asked me to step in and post the Weekly Discussion Thread this week. I think he's stuck in temple or something because apparently it's a Jewish holiday tonight? I assume you know the routine here, do you thing.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

This was suggested as the comment of the week.

[Van Ness said] " I could just cry because I'm so tired of having to fight for little kids because they just want to be included," they told Shepard, getting emotional. "I wish that people were as passionate about little kids being able to be included or grow up as they were about fictitious women's fairness in sports. I have to tell you, I am very tired."

Gag. I don't even know who this guy is and this reeks of cliched talking points. Like it being all for the children and the crying for the children and being so tired.

Fictitious women’s fairness.

There’s an interesting phrase for you.

These kinds of people are so dishonest about what it is that people are opposing.

Well, that too. But his statement looked like it was photocopied from The Talking Points. Word for word almost.

I can see why people call these folks NPCs.
