He hit one of their kids, so no, probably not going to do 50-50 custody.

Right, it’s assumed that often children aren’t responsible with money, so the parent uses the money on behalf of the kids.

I do not agree with the idea that hitting your child is more acceptable than hitting your wife, as long as the child is male. Sorry, but no.

The difference in how Jez commenters see Brad vs. how they see other celebs accused of DV is...something.

Ah, I see. So it’s less “How dare they award some Marvel picture an award?” and more, “How dare they award that awesome Marvel movie some shitty consolation prize?”

Eh, it’s all income percentage, so the exact numbers are often kind of a smoke screen. If Brad is making bank (which we know he is) then his kids are entitled to a solid chunk of that bank, and he does have an awful lot of kids. That all said, I know nothing about their divorce (and I’d love to keep it that way), so…

Can someone explain to me the deal with the new Oscar’s category? Everyone seems very riled up about it, and I’m not sure why (note: I do not watch award shows, so forgive me if I’m missing something basic).

I mean I’m not suggesting these aren’t rich people problems, I’m just explaining the mindset behind how child support works, as explained to me by a lawyer. The example I used is obviously not the case of KFed and Brit Brit, but it’s the far more common scenario and thus why the rules and norms for child support are…

That’s actually not completely true. Usually the courts try not to let there be a huge disparity in lifestyle/income between the two homes, because that’s bad for the kids and encourages them to favor the parent with more money.

Option (c) would be, hire a stand in that has the appropriate skin tone.

Is the dating process not part of “getting the girl/guy”? Becoming friends and slowly realizing you might like each other as more than friends?

Such a plotline would revolve around the pursuer trying to convince the other one to fuck.

I mean that’s an old school ploy, just ask Walmart.

This is 2018. If two people in NYC or Chicago or Batimore or LA whatever big city these movies take place in want to be together, there’s not much that’s holding them back.

Read an article about this recently, apparently it’s the new business model:

And I also don’t believe it’s right for ANYONE to be appointed to ANY political position FOR LIFE. That seems to be just asking for corruption to me.

Jezebel chomping at that Munch Squad bit, huh?

Does he consistently put his body on the line for my personal entertainment? And do I love him unconditionally for it?

The South has been creeping farther and farther north as far as I can tell. Hicks all the way up in Michigan now have southern accents and wear confederate flags proudly. I got told recently that Indianapolis marks the beginning of the American south. These days “Southern” seems more of a mentality than a location: if…

Amma definitely seems involved in some way, the way she emphasized how her friends will do “anything” for her was way too ominous.
