I absolutely do not root for cousin greg

I only started watching because the honorable Judge Kara Brown told me to on Keep It, and I trust her with my life.

Oh yeah, part of the dynamic of that group was that the DM & those guys used to play together in high school, then decided to try D&D again in adulthood with us newbies. We were all either rusty or completely new, so we just sorta started the standard 5e beginner’s campaign without any preamble besides character…

Yes, I also appreciate that The Adventure Zone doesn’t worry about throwing the rulebook out if it helps the story along (also I’m a McElroy fan so I’m biased).

Why shouldn’t the father of those children be expected to contribute to their welfare? Again, it’s not about the specific money amount, it’s about the fact that Brad is their father and that means he’s also responsible for them. I agree with your point about going to In-Touch, but I absolutely disagree that going to…

I think if you’re that child that is something that you don’t even know about, unless your parents are Angelina and Brad and you see it on the front page of In Touch Magazine

Sure, and it sounds like in some places they do! Here’s my response to a poster who said the same thing, and one of doit2julia!’s replies about this as well.

Counterpoint: wearing ugly stuff is fun, and prioritizing “fun” over “attractive” is always a good call.

Oh I don’t got a dog in this fight, I just was curious.

Why?

Does California have an income cap for calculating child support? NY has a maximum and to go above the combined income is at the discretion of the child.

Well one, because once you decide to either create a child or adopt one you are now responsible for that child. If he was using a percentage of his income to raise them before the divorce, why would he not be expected to continue doing so?

I find a lot of people think of child support as “what’s fair to the parents/the one parent I’m sympathetic towards?” vs. “what’s fair to the kids?”

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).
