nice guy goose

New Shibe

I was telling Kate that I, at my age, also don't really like or get how to use manual can openers and boy howdy
terravesty
also sexually violent
noah may cry
not only that, I've cut myself on can openers more than once--as an adult! that is a very real possibility for a child!
New Shibe
right like. can openers are a bitch and literally create sharp edges
vast energies
i was already like 'what a douchebag' when it was JUST the beans

and then, like a milkshake duck rising from the ashes,
New Shibe
I feel like this is the opposite of a milkshake duck
New Shibe
cuz milkshake duck is like. someone does something wholesome or cool then is later proven to be an asshole
New Shibe
while this is like. dude does an asshole thing and is proven to be more of an asshole

vast energies
THERE'S ALREADY AN ARTICLE!?
New Shibe
of course there is, it's the internet
Any Day Now
i just came from a summary article and it was just about the original tweet story he did and I hate him from that already
Any Day Now
being a dick to his daughter, but if he talks intellectually about it then it's okay right?????? he's just imparting profound wisdom guys
New Shibe
also some people arguing like "hey this was just a ~joke~ he was just playing as a ~character~ from his podcast"
New Shibe
like cool motive you're still an asshole

thank u
New Shibe
i am here to help
New Shibe
but yeah it honestly does seem like this guy was trying to do ~a bit~ and then lashed out like a manbaby when people didn't ~get it~
New Shibe
also Ken Jennings and the McElroys are wrapped up in it
vast energies
the mcelroys only in the most tenuous possible way, which is to say they poked their heads in and immediately were like NOPE
New Shibe
oh yeah they're not wrapped up in all this BS just. wrapped up in that they were apparently on professional terms with this guy
Celizabeth Hood
He also already deleted his twitter lol

PHONY
WASN'T THE BEANS ALONE BAD ENOUGH
y yo a ti, cas
i still cannot believe his parenting technique was to just... let her figure it out. i know everything about this is terrible but it's just like. just figure it out.
Many mistakes
His approach to fatherhood sounds like the exact opposite of all things McElroy
