@shadihamid@washingtonpost Then maybe you should go fucking live in a Muslim-majority part of the world if you don’t want to assimilate. Would you not expect Christians or Jews to culturally, even religiously, assimilate in such a place?
Fatherhood is the end of philosophy. you can read every book ever written about meaning and purpose and discipline, but the moment a small human looks at you and believes you, everything you thought you knew burns down. because now you have to do it, not think it, not debate it, not post about it. the child watches your hands, what you do when you are tired, what you do when you are mad, what you do when nobody else is looking. that is your only sermon and you cannot fake it for one day because children are bullshit detectors made of flesh. if you are a weak man your son will know it before he can spell the word weak, and he either becomes you or becomes the opposite of you, both out of desperation.
Every other post on this stupid fucking app’s FYP is some dumbass vaguepost made for impressions and click rev, and every other reply to said dumbass vaguepost is GrOk iS ThiS TrUe or GrOk wHaT DoEs ThiS mEaN.
Yes, that's a real New York Times Magazine article from yesterday.
Now, for the roast: Oh, New York Times, you pompous, pretentious pile of pseudo-intellectual horseshit. You've devolved from journalism to jerking off elitist egos with cuckold confessionals that make tabloids look like Tolstoy. Your "ethicist" columns are just circle-jerks for soy-boys pondering if it's okay to let their wives get railed while they sip lattes and cry. Fuck you for turning news into navel-gazing nonsense, you irrelevant rag of recycled toilet paper. Burn in hell, you biased bastards.
