May I ask why Jordan Peterson is always crying?

The guy seems broken for no good reason.

He just decided he wanted smoke and now he keeps crying all around.

So, what books are you guys reading these days?

I'm dealing with some family stuff, and I need to take my mind off of it. I've been going through a rut, I can't tell if these new books are genuinely bad or if I'm just getting old. I want to get excited about reading comics again.

I liked Static, Sonic the hedgehog, and I love space books, I'm going to try Mark Evanier's New Gods. I also weirdly like Jurassic League. I like The Legion of Superheroes, I just wish Bendis wasn't writing them.

I'm enjoying the new Sam Wilson Cap book, and might check out the Batman vs Robin ( I like Asars' art). Beyond that, it's mostly indies and back issues. Nuewburn I like, Shaolin Cowboy is fun ( again mostly for the art).

I'm convinced at this point it's mostly an act. He'll cry over the thought of lonely young men out there or the so-called "end of individuality", but actual tragedies that involve violence, children dying, natural disasters...he's either stoic or silent about.

When people criticize him for being conservative, sexist or a gateway to the alt-right, he shrugs or laughs off the criticism, but when his own fans tell him not to fat shame, he gets genuinely angry.

I'm just a little surprised ( or maybe not that much) that people keep asking him to comment on social issues he's clearly not qualified to speak on.

Being the victim is profitable for whatever reason.

Peterson is what is known as a "Crybully". He likes to talk all kinds of tough, but he can't handle pushback very well. He's always in his feelings.

Tanahesi Coates uses him as a template for the Red Skull? Crying.

Loudly declaring that he isn't into a big girl and then gets made fun of for it? Crying.

Gets called king of the incels by Quorra? Crying.

I mean, for a guy who talks all the time about making your bed, cleaning your room, and taking personal responsibility, he doesn't seem to want to do it himself.

That is what is kinda wild... if you catch just random quotes for this dude, you easily go, "good advice...."

but like, remove the topsoil and you just get to trash QUICK lol

In other manufactured outrage news, some conservatives are really upset that Lizzo played James Madison's 200-year-old flute.

Lizzo is a classically trained flutist playing a very old flute.

Once again, I struggle to see why this is even an issue at all.

Just like the black elves and black mermaids thing, the reactionary conservatives are starting to look very weird. They are getting upset about stuff that doesn't really mean anything.

As an aside, everyone in my house has tested positive for covid-19. Including the little ones. Finally, we can all do something together.

Seriously though, I've had my two shots and my wife has had three (but her symptoms are a lot more severe than mine). My kids are just a little sick but are getting better already.

It seems that covid-19 is making something of a comeback because at least 5 people in the office have tested positive.

By my monocle! It's an absolute absurdity that that female of African stock should dare lay her unworthy hands upon our beloved faaaaaaaancy instrument that most of us didn't know actually existed before this week but are now outraged about because a black woman shook her money-maker while playing it! This world is swirling down the chamber pot! These dark women are far too sexually confident! Must they be so forward and suggestive?

Now excuse me, sirs! I must cleanse my palate by watching the Dallas cowboy cheerleaders shake their thick booties to Trace Adkins' honky tonk bedonkadonk like a proper gentleman! IF ONLY that Lizzo woman could be half as refined and maidenly!

Armor Wars is now going to be a movie.

My gut tells me its is to make up for Blade falling apart...

I swear to God if they promote Rhodey to Iron Man for this movie and someone still makes a YouTube video complaining about wokeness, I'm gonna flip a table and scream at someone to stop being a filthy casual reader.

Oh don't forget...

Talking with conservatives about how God could possibly exist? Crying!

Talking about how men go to work so the lights can come on? Crying!

That scene in Pinocchio wishes on star? CRYING!

He's been doing less and less of the actual practical advice and leaning hard into the anti-woke cash grab lately.

36 taxable slaves at the time of his death James Madison? Conservatives might want to sit this one out.
