No one is saying they deserved to die. Everyone is saying that the actions of the girls directly caused their deaths. Not because of the inactions of the police.

It's not about them running. It's their criminal records at such a young age. The world lost nothing with their deaths.

They come from a long tradition of brutal exploitation, so many people do not trust this new raison d’etre.

You are so right. Also i think the risks are higher for animal keepers and handlers because their emotional attachment to the animals makes them a little too trusting.

My thoughts exactly. It would be news if they held a race where nobody cheated. Well, I can dream, can’t I?

Cyclers cheating? What is this world coming to

My right to undergo expensive healthcare(that i might not be able to afford...) due to my negligence and moronic bragging trump your caution and pleas for regulation.

Maybe I am a terrible person, because I still finds this hilarious.

if she were a Real American™ she would dress the wound by her bootstraps

Hopefully her wound will be covered with Liberal Tears brand gauze.

Just use your hand like you have crabs again

I mean, boxer briefs are objectively pretty great, but these ones, on this guy? Nope.

Have you ever actually tried to use Twitter, though? I used to bash it for years before I tried it, until finally getting it for a free concert ticket promo. It is an exponentially better platform than Facebook for almost everything.

Quit (then returned to) Facebook for about a year, and am a hairs-breadth from doing it again, basically because I can no longer handle the 80-20 ratio of “fun or interesting posts by my friends” to “batshit political memes posted by my acquaintances, and disturbingly, sometimes by my friends.”

In Portland, basic UberX rates are a base $1.50 fare, plus $1.55/mile or $0.30/minute (typically used when driving at very low speeds/stopped). The minimum fare is $5.35.

Uber’s app makes it damn-near impossible to tip, and most drivers won’t take cash tips.

“Fat people don’t know they’re fat because the chemicals in their brain make them think they’re attractive. (Is this a peer-reviewed study, and can I see?)“ = hilarious, also. This whole piece is filled with an easy, quick wit. Is Jezebel hiring because I’d read the hell out of anything Hale writes!

The dead end was frustrating, because, as a fat feminist, I was hungry to find out who the original poster could be so I could then eat them.

Yep. I've worked in the progressive movement for almost 15 years, and there's a ton of misogyny and chauvinism that goes on, and not nearly enough done about it.
