Oh yeah, we definitely did! I’m glad it’s getting some mention in this contest. I lived in the haunted tower on campus for a whole year and never experienced anything. I remember hearing the story about the ghost in your dorm. I think that was the most recent ghost story when I started there.

I guess being able to be friends with a man who is responsible for the death of 180,000 Iraqi civilans in an illegal war based on falsified data, and would be convicted by the standards of the Nuremberg trials, is a privilege I would forgo. 

Dude, this guy I dated years ago told me the same story, but instead of Spain, it was in Chicago.

Nope, not buying it.

My parents thought they were just going to have one chid-me. My mom had my brother the summer before I started fourth grade. I was *relatively* okay with this. My mom had a c-section, and her mom came to stay because my baby brother was freaking huge and my dad had to get back to work.

I just notice how the allegation of sexual abuse is minimized because its describing why the priest was placed on leave. Imagine the just as accurate headline:

Thank you so much for sharing this story, Prachi. This is the most incisive and heartfelt reporting I’ve ever read.

Im glad this was posted to deadspin. As an older white male, it may seem like I am unable to relate. However, having recently changed jobs, I struggle currently with depression, questioning my value, my worth...I now become paralyzed at the slightest stressful decision, and I’m not sure that I’ll last.

make sure he knows you love him, include him, and respect him. that he’s not the sum of these unfortunate circumstances (particularly underemployment and infidelity). if you look at his situation and start telling him not to become an mra or white supremacist, you’re effectively pushing a perspective into his mind that…

Wow, Prachi. This is heartbreaking but so good - thank you for sharing. My baby brother has luckily not fallen into the MRA/Red Pill (or white supremacist) bullshit, even though he’s an ideal candidate for recruitment (young, underemployed, white, keeps getting cheated on) - but I’m going to make sure I talk with him…

[heart emoji] My brother went missing (presumed dead) approximately 18 months ago. After he went missing, my mom and I found some google searches on suicide and time spent on conspiracy theory sites. I did not reach out to him enough because he so rarely reciprocated and because he put on a brave face to the rest of…

Anyone associated with Live PD is trash.

I’m going to think that everytime I hear a conservative use the term “mentally ill,” it's just a fucking euphemism for the other word

On Fox News on Monday night, Michael Knowles, a conservative troll and Daily Wire podcast host, described Thunberg as a “mentally ill Swedish child” who is “being exploited by her parents and by the international left.” Then there’s John Nolte of Breitbart, who calls supporters of Thunberg “Gretards” and recently muse…

Laura Ingraham compared her to Stephen King’s Children of the Corn

Yep. See also: men think recycling makes you gay.

Seriously the entire city appears to hate his father with a passion how he thinks that would translate into a possible electoral victory is beyond me. In fact I want him to run just to see him get crushed.

I’m so glad she said this, and she’s dead right about it. Every single lawmaker should be called on the carpet like this, every day. They shouldn’t be able to show their faces in public anywhere without being demanded to do their jobs. I’m not sure shame has any power anymore, but it’s worth trying.

I wish we would shut the fuck up about white working class voters. They’re a lost cause and hell bent on voting against their own self-interest. We’ve had two Democratic Presidents when two consecutive terms without them, yet we’re obsessed with courting those five living Reagan Democrats. Those people will never vote…

Game of Thrones won Outstanding Drama, Schitt’s Creek didn’t win Outstanding Comedy and Catherine O’Hara didn’t win Best Actress.

the 2019 Emmys are now the Emmy equivalent of GoT season 8. some high points but mostly a ton of WTF? 

I don’t watch the bachelor so I don’t know if he’s a good guy or if he’d make an interesting Bachelor, and I’m not entirely straight, but that’s a pretty fucking handsome man right there.
