As someone who lives in Texas, I think it needs to be pointed out that the vast majority of drivers don't use their blinkers when changing lanes. I can't imagine why that would suddenly result in being pulled over. If it was universally applied, 80% of the state would be ticketed within a week.

Many years ago I was pulled over for a signal light being out. I handed over my license, proof of insurance and registration and sat quietly like I was taught to do in these situations. He came back and told me to get out of the car. I asked why and he said “because I fucking said so now get out.” I was scared to…

THIS RIGHT HERE is why officers need de-escalation training.

What libruls don’t want to admit is that changing lanes without a turn signal is a gateway crime to rape, murder and drugs.

This is chilling for a lot of reasons but for me the worst was the totally uneventful stop that took place immediately prior to Sandra being pulled over (and almost made me think this was somehow the wrong video). That’s how sweet a cop can be... if he wants. Once an officer decides he’s owed more deference than he’s…

I think part of what you’re experiencing here is what is called mob hysteria. I can be very seductive to participate in mob-generated and perpetuated emotions. Of course, the illustrations you’ve mentioned are not particularly harmful, but there are many examples of mob hysteria that are extremely dangerous,…

Bill Cosby is a garbage person and with each new bit of info that comes out about him I am even more glad that I skipped every single thing he attended/spoke at while I was at Temple. I did it out of sheer laziness, but for once my laziness served me well. If I'd gone I think would feel forever unclean.

One thing I have noticed, from dealing with creepy dudes in real life, or just viewing them from a far , be it Hollywood stars or even former Presidents of the US ( and possible First Gentleman), is that many serial womanizers, self-described playboys, players, cocksmen, et al, have an extremely warped sense of…

“Tell your mother about the orgasm, so she’ll know it was consensual.” You disgusting piece of shit.

“Tell your mother about the orgasm.”

I just realized something crazy: I think you’ve just described the behaviors of one of my best friends. I didn’t get it before now, but after you say this, oh my god, I do. Like, I’ve always appreciated that when I or anyone is relating an experience, she gets REALLY involved in listening and reacting to the story, in…

Ohhh, yes, an excellent point that landed right in my chest! I have been in and out of therapy trying to answer that very question for half my life. One therapist in particular challenged me to start making decisions based on Authenticity. What a concept, what a struggle. It’s odd to have to shift your mental…

Same. Also, sometimes I am so concerned about being empathetic that I forget what my own opinions on the matter are. That sounds really sad, but well, it is. I’m good at understanding others’ motivations and feelings. I’m really bad at understanding my own.

I honestly don’t care about Camille. I want to know what his DAUGHTERS think about all this.

i get the feeling that camille is a “race woman,” those particular women of color who withstood the storm of a pre-civil rights society where black men bore the brunt of accusations by white women, whether true or not. there is a tacit agreement among some of these women that they would rather turn a blind eye than…

Unfortunately, this is ordinary. Come hell or high water, she will not admit he’s a rapist. The rest of the world is cruel and evil. And yes, she will throw those dozens of women under the bus in order to preserve what she sees as hers. If by chance, long from now, a crack opens and she admits that maybe it was true,…

...Camille—who is also Bill’s business manager...

She is exactly the right age for “okay, it’s this year or my eggs will all convert to ashes and sand and all I will give birth to is TEARS.”

It’s a brilliant analogy because the Confederacy continues to mean something to people who don’t care about the history of black suffering and abuse, just like the Cosby show will continue to mean something to people who can look at him and not care that he was a serial rapist and abuser of women.

Exactly. Ghosters complain about the ghostees continuing to contact them/not getting the hint/not being able to read their minds, etc. It would be so much EASIER for everyone, in most cases, if there was a quick cutoff and true ending. Then the ghostee would not experience any of what you described above, and the…
