Not necessarily stuck-up, though she might be, but “stupid” is strongly implied. And like not just white, but really white.

Becky is the one in purple.

my name is Snacky AND YOU WILL ALL CALL ME THAT.

Psychology professor weighing in here: It’s definitely useful for educators and others to be mindful of the different types of strengths and weaknesses people can have. But putting aside semantic discussions about what it means for something to be an “intelligence” vs. a “skill,” there is a major statistical problem:…

I don't like the comments I'm reading on here. Yea they ran from the cops, but basically saying because they ran from the cops they deserved to die is just as wrong as them running from the cops. They may have been bad apples but they still should have survived to be held accountable for their actions.

I think it's clear that the writer was writing with effort to make it hilarious - I like that we can acknowledge that, and also that survivors are more than one thing. Mad and sad. Traumatized and excellent cooks. Assaulted and totally funny.

The author was clearly using humor as a coping mechanism, and I thought she did very well.

Look, y’all don’t have to believe this, but she actually wrote me and thanked me for calling her piece ‘hilarious.’ Everyone processes things differently, and sometimes a humorous tone helps express something difficult.

I find her blasting their music very funny, but you don’t have to.

OK, so now I see him with a gas mask on. THANKS for reminding me of one of the freakiest Dr Who episodes.

Please!!! Sing these stories from your rooftops for all to hear. So sick of the thought terminating cliches around “treatment doesn’t work, an addict won’t quit until they want to”

No, he mostly drove the mile between his house and the bar on a rural road. Never hurt anyone, though of course he could have.

That's exactly right. The focus on this is so misguided that it would be laughable if it didn't have real harm as a result to real people. These kinds of programs don't always work for everyone and not everyone is ready to make a change at that specific time, but it allows judges and the courts to handles these types…

She’s in school full-time and I think it’s because she was able to confront some of the personal issues along with having a controlled environment wherein she could get the support and help with not drinking. She hasn’t even been sentenced yet, btw.

Agreed 100%. My sister received 2 DUIs fairly close to each other and the difference is the treatment program which includes AA and counseling. It’s been almost 2 years and she’s still in the program and doing better than she has in a really long time. She’s in school full-time and I think it's because she was able to…
