The NCAA is complicit in every crime on every campus. They value money, not education or welfare. These scumbags reinstated Paterno’s record at Penn State as soon as they thought the furor had died down. They actually praised Penn State for not raping any children for a couple years, thinking that was enough. What,…

My guess is the NCAA comes in with a tough penalty that is legally flawed and based on a completely incorrect set of facts. Baylor appeals and the NCAA drops the penalty down to something minor. Baylor gets its program back, the NCAA claims it tried, and then this is repeated for the next schools that get caught.

Don’t assume to tell me what I know! I know far less than you can ever imagine!

Calling Baylor a Catholic university would probably provoke a stronger reaction from the administrators than the actual assaults did.

Why, thank’ee. (looks down, scuffs dirt with toe; then nods stoically, leads horse out of town toward sunset, quietly whistling high, lonesome tune).

As a person of color who has happily lived in various parts of Brooklyn and queens since childhood, please stfu. Let me guess. You’re white and not even a New Yorker but you’re here to talk about which neighborhoods suck and are being ruined by people like you moving in? Right, because you were here pre-gentrification…

Really. I just can’t get over these posts saying she ‘owes everyone.’ I just... Why?

I did it three times in college, ten years ago. No one cared much, though my mom was surprised when I came back from France and told me I had to let someone know when I left the country. I usually came back after a few weeks and I was bright enough to get away with it grades-wise.

I honestly don’t get why an adult isn’t allowed to break contact with whoever they want. Why is that anyone’s business?

How many of us did some version of this? I did— in the early 90s. No one much cared— and that was okay.

Agreed, here. I saw that suggestion and knew it wouldn’t be viable. Haven’t tended bar, I’ve done food service, though, and it gets too busy for stuff like that. Best suggestion I can think of is for women to finish as much of their drink as they can (don’t slam back a ton of alcohol in a hurry, just because your…

That’s not the advice I gave. Flying Squid suggested giving your drink to the bartender, I suggested scheduling bathroom breaks in between drinks.

No. People are saying that “ask your bartender to babysit your drink” is not effective or safe.

You’ve just had dozens of people tell you that first of all, it’s not safer, second, it’s not practical, legally for the license holder or the on-the-floor staff, and three, it’s part of a larger causality to find workarounds for not being raped.

Why are you so confrontational? Her doing that could open her up for liability.

As a bartender, I really don’t have time to watch your drink for you. I’m working and I am distracted, I can’t be a reliable drink babysitter for you.

Opinion as a cosplayer: Everything I’ve ever cosplayed, prominent boobs are no, has been for me and me alone. I know that’s not the same for everyone, but assuming that women cosplay for men’s attention erases a lot of amazing women out there who do it for their own happiness.

I find the Gawker sites interesting in that the commenters are split between very thoughtful people who write some insightful (not to mention hilarious) comments... and people who are intent on proving Abraham Lincoln correct when he said "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all…
