"I hate how books about the Rust Belt and small towns always have a character who "escaped" by going to Yale or something. Always shows how out of touch the authors are. It's such an annoying trope to me and it always happens."
"There's no such thing as the truth anymore. Clear as day on video, this bitch did not get stabbed. Point this out, and you'll get called an antisemite. Everyone's just rolling with this story that didn't happen, saying lawsuits and arrests and expulsions need to happen."
"So the mom made this meeting with me telling me that I need to pressure the girl to go to the more relaxed high school so she can be valedictorian and get into Yale. Then the girl did switch to the more relaxed school, as per my suggestion, and then I get a ton of emails from the mom freaking out as"
