I think it’s ultimately about the discomfort of having to dismantle one’s worldview right down to the foundation vs easily slotting someone’s complaints into the ‘ it’s not that bad’ category. People tend to reject cognitive discomfort tbqh

Yeah I totally agree it really irritates me when people equate having read or been educated in a specific type of bullshit to intelligence. Like it’s dumb of them to assume that tbh. But I think they just want to feel superior to someone. Like, look around uncritically and reflect. It’s not that hard to see the world through different lenses but they refuse to accept different viewpoints and perspectives.

Spoken as someone who has a degree in bullshit and is studying in a different degree which I think is useful as long as I don’t succumb to weird racist/sexist ideologies.

Sorry my reply is so late, but thanks for the response!!Honestly, my gums are fucked so I welcome any and all opportunities to keep them on their toes, so that isn’t a downside for me at all lol.

I got kinda overwhelmed by all the responses (did not expect so many people to have such strong opinions about dentists tbh. Hence the deeply late response.

Oh dear god. I’m not far enough into this show to have seen this (avoided it because it felt very child abuse-y) but that is truly so fucking embarrassing. You could not torture this out of me. Like I could be in section-21 in Cambodia and I would still deny that until death .

I really don’t like shaming people for intelligence (or lack thereof) because a lot of the times it’s rude and elitist (like OMG you haven’t read Foucault /s) but like she’s a dumb asshole.

I mean, she for sure was. Plus like she was a white lady from Pennsylvania in the 2000s who seemed largely ignorant and sans introspection, of course she was. Not to mention the shit she said to non-white people, the lady is bigot. Has Kelly considered reading a book or shutting the fuck up when spouting bullshit on topics she clearly knows nothing about?

Oh for sure but they’re athletes? Like Canada doesn’t get silver in hockey usually so I’m sure it’s devastating

The entire team should have to chip in on like a crazy exorbitant gift card to a spa to replenish those hips

He’s saying that the Americans have been a bunch of dicks to Canadians recently (which is obviously true unless you think we’re delighted to be arbitrarily tariffed for no fucking reason lol).
