Are you fucking kidding me? Is anyone actually treating this as credible?

THANK YOU. I can’t believe this thread. If I see the phrase “only digital” one more fucking time (and it’s coming even from the well-intentioned), I will put my head through a wall. We can discuss these details if we want. BUT, in doing so, we have to be really, really, really careful that we are NOT pulling out our…

I’m going to use this opportunity to point out that the idea of “real rape” is omnipresent. . . . . .To the point that Steven Pinker, renowned cognitive psychologist, retweets and actually cites this Op-Ed by Heather MacDonald (“The Campus Rape Myth”). Pinker’s book, The Better Angels of Our Nature, in which he cites…

Do we have a concrete reason to argue that the judge should be removed from the bench? Any lawyers out there who could answer this for me?

Ha! I wish. . . . .Even before I started actively supporting Clinton (about a month or so ago), I was shouted out of Pro-Bernie chat-rooms for even mentioning party unity (b/c DON’T I KNOW WHAT A REVOLUTION IS???!!!!!!!!!!). I’m just hoping the BernieOrBust crowd are a small minority. . . .with the loudest voices. . .…

Yes! Thank you :). I do not think the system was in any way rigged against Bernie. I do think that the debate schedule worked in Clinton’s favor—b/c she was the more established candidate. I don’t necessarily think this was part of some conspiracy though. I just think it worked in her favor.

I think you misunderstood my point. Or, it’s equally possible I was not clear enough. I said:

This argument fails in many ways.

Bernie supporter here. He needs to get out. He needs to start unifying the party. He needs to do better messaging w/ regards to his supporters.

I was raped by two (or maybe more) men over the course of 5-6 hours. I woke up. Fell back asleep. And woke up again. And, after that one night, i experienced a decade of depression, self harm, self hatred, etc. etc. Even now, sometimes, I think, It. was. just. one. night. How could I have let just a single night…

This is hateful. And, in painting every person who practices a given religion w/ such a broad brush, you are actively practicing discrimination. Congratulations.

You would be correct on that one. And, with Michelle, a strong dose of sexism. The lunatics in the GOP cannot stand it when their leader has a strong wife beside him.

Have you seen Obama lovingly roast her attempts to appeal to young voters? Starts about 17:30 in this video. . . It’s adorable. . . .

Just so you know: 1) Autism is not a mental illness, it is a neurodevelopmental disorder, 2) impulse control (w/ regards to intentionally threatening others) is not generally a problem that anyone on the spectrum has, 3) Nor are people on the spectrum somehow abnormally angry vis a vis people who are not on the…

I agree with everyone who is saying the picture is a little bit silly. Very silly. Is she even wearing orange? I don’t get it. But the intentions are good—I know she actually cares about gun violence—AND I think we can all be a little bit too self-righteous in our nitpicking of EVERY DAMN PERSON who tries to do/say…

Take a logic class. It will be good for you!!

And he made similar comments in other interviews. . . . I dunno. . . .this apology is great and all. Like, really great. But the pathological tearing down of Knightly creeps me the fuck out.

Yes. . . this was in no way a one time incident. If it had been, I’d think this apology was GREAT. But. . . he did this more than once.

Yeah. . . .I am down with the tone/structure of the apology. . . .but it doesn’t seem to actually account for the full scope of the FUCKING WEIRD AND AWFUL behavior.

I think it is RARELY the case that a single person can be the reason another stays sober. Just like it’s very rare that a single person can be the reason that another person gets out of a depression. Etc. You’re absolutely correct: It’s a damaging—and refuted—narrative.
