you're picking this to be self-righteous about?

this great point - selling black culture to white teenagers - will unfortunately be lost in this troll thread, but it should be discussed more.

NEED. TO. BE. OUTRAGED.

It's 2014, guy. Stop trying to perpetuate the myth that sampling can't be great art.

yes, those are some other musicians.

for giving us one of the most boundlessly inventive recording artists in modern music?

No. I believe it's actually possible to eliminate sexual assault as a widespread problem with an enormous societal shift. Sexual assault will still happen, obviously, but proper education and no victim blaming would go a long way. I don't believe there's anything we can do about mugging, short of giving everyone in…

it's sort of weird paradox isn't it? calling someone a rapist is pretty damning, but our society and legal system makes it incredibly complicated for someone to earn that title due to the aforementioned patriarchal power structure/rape apologia. if you get mugged, you're not likely to be blamed for it.

explain how this was inhumane.

I suppose you could infer that from my post, but only with some pretty extensive mental gymnastics.

the problem is, there will always, without exception, be muggers. there will never not be assholes out in the street trying to steal your wallet at gun/knifepoint.

Isn't it great how celebrities think us normals give a goddam about their lame performance art nonsense?

More and more evidence is suggesting that the real danger of obesity has nothing to do with fat, and everything to do with the stigma of being fat.

fuck your "facts" and your "evidence," and your "science," you're hurting me feelings!

this tonyduncky guy is a fucking asshole, but he's correct in broad strokes - there is a mountain of evidence suggesting health problems can exist by virtue of being obese. see here and here and here.

I have a beard myself, and am a big advocate for facial hair in general, but the look in your third picture needs to go away. the beard + manbun looks terrible.

I would accept this interpretation for most people, but she has zero credibility when it comes to sincerity, so I'm not going to give her the credit.

she is implying that positive thinking got her out of it

But...why is it everytime I hear her speak or read her thoughts she seems forever 17 years old? The drama, the angst.

Have to sort of admire some of those ladies complaining about the statue for their determined willingness to trivialize sexual assault because of their hurt fee-fees.
