I'm a complete cynic but I really believe that if the company was doing ok financially, he'd still be employed. He has been a pervy ass from the beginning. I'm not complaining that he's been fired, I just am doubtful that it wasn't primarily financially motivated.

You feel bad for a guy who once jerked off in front of a reporter? Please explain how his accusers are full of shit.

How is this a more legally-sound justification than him settling the largest public housing discrimination case in United States history, just a few years ago? Or being sued by one of the NBA's greatest players for racial discrimination in how he runs his actual NBA franchise? You seriously mean to tell me that a…

A peekaboo butt-crack window would be the next most similar-looking thing.

Look, people should be able to do what they want. If someone wants to cosplay as a certain character, and their body (or skin color or gender or whatever!) isn't an exact match, who cares. They shouldn't be made to feel bad about that.

Oh, sure, there are plenty of anti-vaccine types who aren't anti-science, exactly. They've just decided that the health of their own child is more important than the health of everyone else's children. That's not understandable—that's a disgusting and reprehensible attitude.

To make some long and complicated science-y stuff simple, if they are US-born kids, they could still be susceptible to polio after being vaccinated because of the efficacy of the version of the vaccine given in the US. Because polio has functionally been eradicated in the US, US children are given the inactivated…

Detail police: just because you've been vaccinated for something doesn't mean you can't still catch it. Vaccines are highly effective, but not 100%, and immunity can decrease over time (hence booster shots).

Right? I was going to say - is this "polio-like" or is it actual fucking polio because nobody in California "believes" in vaccines. Has anyone in California checked out the death rate from the flu this year? California: Top of the list of places not to raise a kid.

It's like you spun a Wheel of Trolling, and landed on everything.

That was my thought as well, as that area is a hotbed of anti-vaxxers.

I wonder how many diseases are a couple of unlucky mutations away from eradicating our species.

My first thought was that it was polio but since the kids have been vaccinated they're assuming it must be something else. If it looks like polio and acts like polio, maybe it's polio? Let's not put our heads in the sand. If they need to tweak the vaccine let's get on that.

I heard on the news today (but I haven't seen this elsewhere or tried to verify it elsewhere) that only 5 of the 25 had been vaccinated against polio. Comparatively, if that is true, that's a lot of kids who weren't vaccinated that wound up with it... so it seems like it could very much be related to the anti-vaccine…

Standard comment about how clearly this is caused by the over/under immunizing of children where an acquaintance knows someone in the nebulous medical field .

The thing is, she's gaslighting herself, too.

And even if she isn't angry in general (Hah! what B.S.) you'd think she could at least acknowledge that she was angry in those moments. Farrah's mom is a total gaslighting asshole.

"I'm not an angry person." WHAT? She punched Farrah in the face while she was holding her daughter and then threatened her with a kitchen knife. BUT NO, not angry at all!

That is, by far, the most prominent thing I take from hearing about this. This is bad parents begetting new/future bad parents. Based on documented public behavior, I don't think the odds are good that Farrah's daughter will be much better.
