And it's good for the environment!

You're not supposed to shower everyday. It's bad for your skin and your immune system. It's not unhygienic to skip showers if there's no compelling need for one.

No. Not even close.

Please, no. Great story, but can we please produce stories where black people are something other than slaves or freedom fighters. K thanks.

Nothing like winning a legal battle via PR suicide.

And Ted Bundy worked long nights at a suicide hotline. Doesn't make him a saint either.

Ugh that quote is basically saying rich people get to rape as long as they give enough of their money to charity.
