I imagine this turns out one of two ways. She'll either become incredibly smart & self-reliant or it won't work at all & she'll hate him.

But honestly, it doesn't feel like the worst or best thing I've heard of. So meh.

I haven't read it yet but I did not expect this to be who bean dad was, after seeing vague mentions of their existence earlier

Ken now also jumping right into the conflating-antisemetism-with-antizionism hole, itself an incredibly antisemetic trope that conflates all Jews with the nation of Israel.

I do so love when some bullshit nothing Twitter drama exposes this sort of truly fucked up stuff, and I hope these guys have many lost opportunities in their futures.

The "pro-Israel one." Barf.

Who in the fuck would believe that taking 6 hours to teach your hungry child how to open a can of beans would make you look cool/smart on twitter?
The same kind of moron who was clearly aiming for a viral tweet (of the good kind) when their Twitter history contains several slurs and other highly questionable tweets.

Honestly, the amount of times people out themselves in the most ridiculous and unnecessary ways is truly amazing.

Oh God he's been bean-pilled.

(that's unironically going to become a real thing when the right wing scum begins to hold him up as a hero though)

Threads like these sure make it easy to fill out an ignore list.
"Teachable moments" involve teaching. Not leaving your kid to go hungry for six hours and telling them to figure it out.

Can't believe there's people here on Era defending this guy.

I was taught how to open cans by my parents. You know how long it took? A few mins. They showed me how to do it, then gave me the can and opener to finish it. Done. No need for me to learn to appreciate the physics of can opening or waste six hours of my life.

I like this take on it:
That is a good take. Thank you for posting it here.

That is textbook abuse and nowadays, punishment by withdrawal of food would be classed by any social services teams as abusive Parenting.

Saying "it happened to me and I'm fine" is not a defence.
This Tweet is evergreen:

This was not something that should have been shared.

Also he's an asshole.

Bless this poor girl if she ever learns to drive. "Ok, sweetheart, you see this stick? Try to Intuit how it shifts the little spiked connected wheels and how that would affect the giant sputtering piston box. I'm waiting. You either figure it out now or you live with me forever."

Dreams-Visions, I am so use to normal every day racism that you almost have to respect someone going all in with shit like "mudpeople". That is a classic you just don't hear anymore

To think, if he had just stopped playing with his damn jigsaw puzzle and show his daughter how to use a can opener.....

The butterfly effect is FASCINATING!

Then she will have to figure out to change a gearbox

So what do you think the defense is going to be this time?

* "Those were age old Tweets, obviously I've grown since then and don't think that way anymore! In fact, you're the awful one for digging them up!"
* "Those were just edgy, ironic jokes! Slurs and racism are fine if you're just kidding about it. Have a sense of humor."

Pretty sure it'll be the second one.

Didn't Ken Jennings just step in it last week and have to issue an apology for something?

the bros sure do seem to be good at not noticing this sort of behavior in their friends until it blows up though, huh?

Yeah, it's dumb to think you have to be a pompous asshole to starve a kid for over six hours to teach her a lesson and then proceed to brag about it online.

Posts ITT are the dumb thing in this story, you solved it.
Yes, in this case the mob is wrong and jumping to extreme conclusions about this guy and his story. It's dumb. I thought it was a good story. WAIT WAIT - just saw the thread mark. I stand corrected.
He judged his own daughter's intelligence in his thread but okay.
If you take the worst possible view of the guy, then sure. EDIT!! I just saw the thread mark. I was wrong, I'm sorry.

"I was just a 42 year old kid when I tweeted those racist messages."

I prefer my surgeries be performed by those with no formal education. I want my surgeon to have practiced the blade without any guidance.
