No, you’re not. If someone does a bad thing, all human sympathy must immediately cease for that person.

“An officer discharged his weapon and struck the suspect.” Could you possibly state that with any less connection between cause and effect? It’s like they were totally surprised at the results of shooting a gun at someone.

Yes, the USA does not have a “death to all burglars” policy on the books, yet.

To all you bigots saying he deserved it:

No you're supposed to question whether that's what actually happened because the cops are being shady as fuck about the details and evidence.

Fuck off, you ignorant chump.

Well, the police are the only ones involved who shot anyone (or had a gun at all), so that seems reasonable

My grandma was a model with a full bust, and after years of wearing back brace type corsets, her muscles atrophied so badly she had strange posture for years regaining the use of those muscles. Not to mention they screw with your ability to digest properly, which can’t be great for you in the long term. Extreme…

“I 100 percent helped make this body type acceptable.”

Holy mother, how can we stop the talk about the (nonexistent!) “health benefits”? Unless your doctor has ordered you to wear a similar contraption as a truss or back brace, you are doing damage to yourself with this waist training nonsense.

A very astute comment. A+ to your parenting skills.

No, the one good thing about waist trainers was realizing my 9 year old has been listening to me when a commercial came on for them during Little House On The Prairie. Her exact quote was, “I bet there isn’t something like this for men.”

Declaring waist trainers as empowering because they make individual female business owners money is silly. Like, would we entertain the notion that a former stay at home mom who now makes big money selling I dunno, graphic tees and signs for anti-abortion protesters is “empowering for women?” I hope we wouldn’t.

she has books! on a shelf! looks like a law library! who knew?

Yeeeeah, I’m going to need something a little more substantial than “It’s women’s empowerment because it benefits meeee!” before I start thinking it’s anything more than the same tired bullshit. Things that range from terrible to useless benefit the people selling them all the time - that’s capitalism. It doesn’t make…

Okay, but this is a Samsung.

Empathy is something that needs to be taught. Kids are not naturally empathetic. They have to learn other people are just as important as them. That other people’s lives are different. It does take awhile to develop but it can be developed.
