So we aren’t going to talk about how he basically stated his disdain for Black women in that one episode of Atlanta? Not even a mention on the way he made that actress act bamboozled by the white girl dating a Black man? No run down on the ridiculous conclusions the Black woman came to why she might take issue with it…

Time for us to start robbing some dudes and find out.

Isnt that a thing to ponder. That you read it and think “huh. At least they get 9 years” (edit: which was my first reaction too)

The translation of Cuéntalo is better rendered (figuratively and literally) as “Tell It.” This is not mere fastidiousness but introduces a wider, deeper resonance (in both Spanish and English).

It’s always this shit. Violence against women spikes during soccer games in Latin America too. Some days I can’t believe we are just expected to co exist with these huge creatures who haven’t developed a prefrontal cortex. We’re basically living with snakes.

So if a wealthy middle-aged man was accosted on the street by six young men who demanded he come with them and then hand them his wallet and his car keys, if they didn’t actually hit him, then they wouldn’t be guilty of robbery?

This is the correct answer. So she has a genetic advantage. Sure. So she’s in the right profession, yes? Women have testosterone- she has higher levels than normally allotted to women. I’m sure there are some men who have higher t than men normally have as well. We just don’t test for it. Lots of things go into…

I got married almost 8 years ago, and I kept my name. It is so weird to me that it is the normal, expected thing for an American woman to change her name when we get married to a man, and that instead of moving forward in time from the hypenated names of the 90s to everyone gets to have their own identity, seemingly…

I’m going to suppress my anger and assume you’re coming at this with the aim of helping people, so I’ll just point out that we don’t need to make things so needlessly complicated. This is a single mother and the father if not out of the picture, doesn’t seem too supportive about the whole thing. So right there she…

Isn’t that kind of how the culture is though? Plenty of hardcore, drug pushing, gang killing, ass beating rap songs were coming from fathers-to-be and dudes who had already fathered.

I feel bad for Khloe but...

Honestly, the ease with which the commenters here rushed to blame the dog’s family shocked me. The comments on Gizmodo and Jalopnik’s versions of this same story are much more thoughtful.

I can’t believe that after all the shitty stunts pulled by airlines people are still assuming that the flight attendant was right, the mother with two children is wrong and that a puppy made no sounds that it was distressed after its carrier was placed in the wrong area.

That ABC article is contradicted by most of the witness statements. Most importantly, by the first two witnesses who came forward before this became a news story—one on Twitter and one of Facebook, both with photos—who both said separately that the flight attendant was aware of the dog.

People: read the links in the story before you pass judgment. If you want a quick overview...

It’s funny... this family made the exact same mistake you’re making now—they assumed that the information they were given was correct.

That report is contradicted by literally every other report on this story. Read the replies in other threads here by VulcansAreHeartbreakers, she quotes the other witness statements. Or just...google it.

the part where they say the puppy cried until it could no longer draw breath will haunt me.

The owner and other passengers argued with the flight attendant about it. But the flight attendant assured them it was safe.

I don’t know exactly what went down here, but how did this broad stick her puppy in the overhead bin and sit still in her seat for several hours without being like LET ME CHECK ON MY DOG?
