Catfishing and pulling the trigger

There's a WSJ video about how tiger moms should let their kids fail but I think the expert misinterprets Chua's book. The guy is saying perfectionism is bad.  however, striving for perfection leads to failure and overcoming failure leads to resilience. Amy Chua is only really against the idea of oh, it's ok to be bad at school. And she never said you have to be good at everything (reminds me of criticisms of "Lean In" where she said you couldn't have it all and people were all "I tried having it all and I couldn't! you lied!). And I think the guy's picking asians as a target - like look at all these asian people and they're all automatons (offensive) but it's not only Asians that are tiger moms. And a lot of children of tiger moms, they might not be the most successful people on the planet but a lot them turn out ok (the byline to the story "not all students with good grades become high-achievers." why does it have to be "all" to be worth it? isn't it a more pressing issue that many students can't read?). There are obviously problems with tiger mom-ing and i think amy chua is her own worst critic - probably because of all her critics, she actually read her own book.

this confused me. so in the text exchange, where she says "I really had fun last night, did you" and he says "last night was fun" the guy really didn't have fun and he's a catfisher?

have you heard of trigger warnings? I mean I kinda understand if you're a rape or trauma survivor and you're going to a class marked "spanish 101" that you would want to know if that involves graphic talks about rape and war for some hidden reason. frankly, i'd like to know that too. but i get the feeling that it involves way more than that. i wonder if "libertarian ideals" is listed as a trigger warning.

1. one of the worst things about this administration is that here's something that would actually create jobs and help the environment and they've decided to put the kibosh on it. is anything bipartisan anymore?

2. did boise state know he was homeless? do ncaa colleges typically offer to help in the summer (i mean, there are lots of poor kids that go to the ncaa. it would be a little surprising if this is the first homeless one or the first in a rough home situation). if the media reported every sad story, would the ncaa start making the right decisions?

3. i saw another article "how short is too short" for men's shorts. i thought that was just a women's issue.

4. but were the other teams really interested or did they just want to appease their (how many could there be) gay fans?

5. Reject one speaker you don't like and get another
