It absolutely is. At my first job one of the owners complained that I was sitting and reading a book during my lunch break. They said the same thing about bad optics, and insisted I couldn't read during my lunch break. I brought in bigger books after that.
You actually like android auto? I find annoying the number of touches I need to go through to get to what I want. Unfortunately my car stereo is even worse about that if I don't use android auto.
Maybe the landlord should try living within their means. They should be buying fewer rotisserie chickens and instead get a piece of chicken, a piece of broccoli, a corn tortilla and one other thing.
I don't disagree that Gavin is better than actual fascists, but we have two years to actually come up with someone better and protecting him now when it's obvious how garbage he is isn't helping us.
Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

The last two sentenced (which are conveniently left out in most quote sites now) are the reason to continue pointing out the hypocrisy.
“You know, I’m, like, a smart person.” “I am a really smart guy.” “I’ve been known as being a very smart guy for a long time.” “I have a very good brain and I’ve said a lot of things.” “I’m intelligent. Some people would say I’m very, very, very intelligent.” “And then people say oh, is he a smart person? I’m smarter than all of them put together, but they can’t admit it.” “My IQ is one of the highest — and you all know it! Please don’t feel so stupid or insecure; it’s not your fault.” “My two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart…. I went from VERY successful businessman, to top T.V. Star, to President of the United States (on my first try). I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius….and a very stable genius at that!”
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.
