Never knew rings could have such significance to recruiters. Now I have all kinds of questions, like—what if the woman being interviewed is visibly pregnant but wears no rings at all? Is a baby bump better than a large diamond or worse? Does the presence of a wedding ring matter? What if she’s pregnant, wearing no…

Any article about Judge Aaron Persky could as well start with a “Famous Rape Apologist...”

I love you guys dearly, but I would not take a chance that your bringing attention to Bill’s sexual past, as bad as it might be, could hand the election to Trump. Too much is at stake, and it’s not like she can divorce him in the middle of this, much as she may want to. I mean what could she possibly say about his…

More of a psychopath, really. Sociopaths kill people and can be asocial loners. Psychopaths are outgoing, charming, and vile.

Sane people gotta learn to fight dirty when the other side blatantly ignores all reason and logic and laughs in their faces: “So, what are you going to do about it?” I’m not saying to be as irrational, only as blunt and forceful, know when to interrupt and keep talking over, and call the Trump supporters on every lie,…

But some bank robbers do in fact do it for the rush. And some very rich people shoplift even though they could buy the entire store. Humans can be irrational. Also, sometimes they want what they can’t have just because they can’t have it, and it doesn’t matter if something else is easily available.

Something is seriously off here. I don’t quite understand it but it’s anything simple and its something about him personally. Like he’s saved her life once, or is blackmailing her, or something else as crazy. She has no problem speaking against rape, she has a problem speaking against _him_ and she can’t tell anyone…

Would it be morally wrong to guess that she’s banging the guy? Either that, or he’s holding her dog hostage.

At least they are investigating the investigation itself. Someone has figured out the DA office had screwed up.

They are “investigating the investigation”—not her case, but whether or not it was handled properly. Can I please get ungrayed?

Yep. He’s gonna go on a long vacation to stay safe in case his idiot followers decide to act out their paranoid rage. That’s assuming he loses.

I kind of understand what he means. Still, I don’t like the idea of a business owner refusing service based on his opinion about the customer’s spirituality. It’s like if he was selling beautiful handmade crosses and refused to sell them to people he didn’t think were “real Christians."

The one positive thing I can say is “At least it was his own finger and not hers.” Also, if he has a Van Gogh thing going, why make a new tip. And if it’s not that, then he needs help and soon, before he cut off anything bigger.

I believe there is a program for women subjected to spousal abuse in the U.S. that lets them get a green card. I know it applies to people who came here on a fiance visa to marry a U.S. citizen. I’m not sure how it works if the husband is a student, on a work visa, or an illegal. But it’s worth checking. Many…

Sure. Although if paying for the medication wasn’t such a struggle, the woman wouldn’t have to cling to an abusive husband—who was the one working and thus paying for the medication—just to keep her daughter alive (much good as that done in the end!).

If she had a sick kid and two other young kids, jumping through beaurocratic hoops can seem as too much to handle. If you think that protective orders are something they hand to you upon request—and then immediately remove the threat from his own house and keep him locked up without bail, you are very wrong. She could…

Very true. Also, accepting prison rape—even of child molesters—as some sort of a “public service” implies that “sometimes rape is fully justified”—and that could be extended anywhere. Even if the rapist does “learn how feels” and never rapes again, what about the people that do it to him in prison? Many of them will…

That’s a very good point. To be honest, I was also thinking “at least that could teach him what it feels like.” But rape shouldn’t be a socially sanctioned punishment, for anyone. People gotta remember that the men that rape other men—even child molesters—act on the idea that “sometimes rape is fully justified.” A…

My most common use for opioids is also menstrual cramps. It’s the only thing that works but I don’t need them every time, so th bottle of Lortabs I got after taking out the wisdom teeth last me for several years. And I’ve never had a problem with any kind of an addiction, except to gummy bears.

No opiate makes you physically dependent from the first hit. You have to do it every day for a while before you get any kind of withdrawal—the same as with alcohol, only faster. It’s not even about how much as about how often Also, the physical dependency is not the biggest factor in addiction. People can be on…
