I wasn't aware having ink put into your skin had anything to do with work effort or studying skills.

Tattoos hardly indicate anything.

Yeah. The family is looking for a payday is what the local news is reporting. The three girls have rapsheets and were no angels. Don't run from the cops in a STOLEN car. They would still be here.

Perhaps I haven’t searched hard enough, but I don’t think anyone is saying they deserved to die because they ran from cops. They died because they made a mistake. You can’t blame the officers for not risking their lives to save theirs. Police have an obligation to do whatever they can within reasonable limits, but…

It's relevant when a family is trying to smear the police department and their deaths were in the commission of a crime.

I guess it’s only a matter of time before an actual one in a million case comes up...

And do what, with it? I’m gonna just head this off and say that I’m not someone who’s like “THIS IS PC CLICKBAIT” and 99 times out of 100 I’m on io9's side, so this isn’t me trying to be some bro about it. I don’t disagree with the article, but I’m just not sure what the point of it is. Yeah, Kipling was a racist and…

....and do what with that? I’m just not exactly sure what “presenting him with context” means in relation to the movies coming out.

The context she wants is “we should never make films out of this”. That’s nonsense.

That’s my point. We know that. Most works from that time period have that baked into their DNA. So we should ditch everything from that period and forget it was ever written?

That’s kinda like saying 19th century Europe was racist as fuck and imperialist garbage.

One of the most disturbing things in the original article was that Foos AND Talese clearly felt (and explicitly stated) that because the guests didn’t know this was happening it wasn’t a real crime - a no harm-no foul approach to consent that is truly terrifying.

This man is a predator. He can couch it in research, but he’s a predator.

Oh my god! A celebrity has their own opinions but knows how to be respectful to people she doesnt agree with!? how crazy is that!?

Welcome to reality. Companies are not people. They don’t care if you’re hurt, or even dying. Hell, they don’t even care if you’re a racist, or a pedophile... don’t rock the boat. If you bring too much negative attention, enough to the point where they might start to lose money if they don’t get rid of you, guess what?…

My friend that’s the theme of EVERY industry.

No she didn’t you fucking liar.

“I agree with your reasonable post BUT NOT THE PART ABOUT ANITA SARKEESIAN SHE DID THAT TO HERSELF”

Careful, your gamergate is showing...

This was absolutely fascinating.
