#5 is vomit-inducing. If my kid was a Christian psych douche with a Canadian Kermit accent and a successful lifecoach podcast, those would be things that make me dislike them, but they're my kid and they're doing them, so good on them and f--k me in all holes.
#6 would mean nobody complains about anything, ever, because nobody's house is in perfect order.
Most cats haul ass in terror when they see me. The very rare cat that actually closes the distance with curiosity, that one is generally a well-treated pet. The others, no matter how nice the cat is, if it's scared and doesn't know you, do not pet the fucking thing. I repeat, do not fucking touch a cat that doesn't seem like it wants to be touched.
#11, he lives somewhere there's snow/ice on the ground for like 9 months of the year. Film a street snow part on the handrail outside his office at whatever University in Ontario he got booted from - oh wait; he's booted - and see if he bothers you.
The "rules" aren't that bad, it's when he starts explaining his thinking process.
"Dr." Jordan Peterson wound up laid out in a hospital in fucking Serbia with COVID for weeks because he went to Russia for what I think was some quack treatment for a pill addiction that they didn't offer in Canada, and while he didn't get straight up Novichok'd, I don't think it went as well as hoped.

His traditional conservative/Christian thing, that's a serious basis for his blather, and that's 100% opinion discarded, into the trash it goes. IMHO it's practically incompatible with women's economic independence, and their liberty means more than Jordan Peterson fetishizing the 1950s.
I don't actually agree with Chapo Trap House's politics. I do like the dirtbag part, but I'm 100% the enemy within who they hate the most. We're both left but they detest Gen-X center-left Klobuchar types. They're scared they'll get Klobburred. And charred.
But them dragging Peterson is hilarious.
