"Bond is set at 14 trillion dollars and a unicorn."

Kendra and Ricky were reportedly only given a two game suspension by the NFL.

This could've been for her own safety. The guy probably knew the couple enough to know that they had weaponry and would be stupid enough to use it in a police stand-off. I'm just happy the woman's safe :/

Also, I'm glad he eventually did get them woman out.

Yeah, we definitely don't have a problem with rape culture in this country. Nope. None at all. Nothing to see here.

holy fuck. That's all I got.

"When Higgs came back the next day...."

God damn, I don't think I could be that courageous, under that kind of pressure, including potential bodily harm to oneself and Lockwood. Even after his life being threatened once.

Hrm. "Basket ass" sounds like something you'd call somebody who'd just spent an hour sitting on an openwork metal chair in short-shorts. (God, how much do you HATE those butt/thigh impressions? It's like a temporary tattoo of cellulite.)

Why thank you! But aaaactually, the operative phrase there was "WHORE BASKET." "Ass" was just an extra tacked-on profane exclamation. A more accurate typographical representation of the flow would be "god-damned slut-fucking whore-basket ass," rather than "...whore basket-ass."

People who slow down on roads to gawk at accidents are also curious. That doesn't give their curiosity some kind of moral weight.

You're focusing on the most salacious and most victim blaming aspect of the case. It doesn't matter what this contract said, and if the police or the woman don't want to share all of its terms, you'll have to live without knowing.

50 Shades definitely created some problems. Especially when you consider the fact that the book aligns everything you would see in a purely abusive relationship, not a consensual sexual relationship. Dom/sub relationships all have their own rules and limits and dynamics, but what is being presented by that man is not…

I hate hearing that from people who think they're being practical without realizing that the individuals who are targeted for this sort of behavior often have mental illnesses or personality disorders as well as unstable living conditions and financial support that make it difficult to just up and leave abusers.

There is no manner in which it would be appropriate to ask such a question.

I'm no lawyer but I'm willing to bet "Slave Contracts" are not actually legally binding so the terms don't really matter do they?

I just read a pretty good book called Running on Empty, about emotional neglect. It stressed that neglect is hard to deal with because it's not about what happened but about what didn't happen. It was kind of helpful. I haven't cut out my mother but I've come close.

i was in such an unhealthy place and my friend was just so nasty to me at times- to the point where people were like uhhh that was uncool, about the stuff he would say to me. i miss him so much, and i hope he's doing better. i was super caring/forgiving/into his problems as a way to avoid my own, which is why i think…

cutting out poison people is so hard. i did some cuts and i really really love and miss these people at times.

My best friend got a shitty boyfriend and became addicted to heavy drugs and kinda dropped out of my life. This year she called me, crying, asking for help. We picked out an NA meeting and went together and for the first time since high school, I feel like I have a reciprocal friendship again. But. I told her how…
