I mean, it is possible for her to just be mistaken about who the giant guys blocking the door were. I dunno; how can one tell Heat/NBA security from McGregor’s security? Uniforms? Also, though, it’s an unfortunate truth that a lot of security guys who aren’t paid great money have their eyes on more lucrative gigs with…

This is sort of where I’m sitting. McGregor is one foul bastard and I wouldn’t put much past dudes like him.

Don’t forget the military; it’s been the “only way” for lower-income kids to try and break into the middle-class or middle-class kids to stay middle-class (yes, I know our middle class is mostly an illusion now) for quite some time outside of becoming famous somehow. 

I didn’t say it’s more prevalent now. I said it will be. I’ve read a couple of books now that present a pretty convincing argument that the generation currently going to and emerging from college honestly believes that the only real financial futures lie in STEM fields and online influencing (whether this belief is…

This one is kind of a ride. The central premise of Heat security guards just deciding to be active participants in McGregor’s sexual assault is kind of hard to believe. Yet at the same time, man is there a lot of smoke about McGregor at this point.

Yikes. I have no idea who she is, but just from the header picture: how heavily photoshopped (or whatever the teens use now) is that girl? No makeup can do that; her skin looks like it was cast from plastic.

I 100% believe the headline, that dropped to 50% with the multiple security guard involvement and about 6% with the “I don’t want him to be held accountable, just give me some money”

The moment he punched that older man at the pub was when it all came together for me. There’s no excusing that.

Evidence has been like that for a long, long time. It’s horrifying that he is still getting any work, but I shouldn’t be surprised.

The bizarre thing is he keeps getting the benefit of the doubt and his denials keep being believed... despite the fact more and more keep popping up.

He punched the Heat mascot so hard at the same event (as part of a bit) that they were sent to the hospital with a concussion.

While the time jump seemed a little surreal at first, it’s making a lot more sense as other characters are reappearing.

Really liked it. Not as good as the first one, but the first one had the advantage of surprise on its side, so it was never gonna be. Still really damn good. And yeah, I cried in the middle, because it was some good tragic storytelling.

Well, as I opened with, if the controversy is based on non-contextualized excerpts from a porn podcast, and the gross parts were, indeed, firmly in the realm of fantasy, its quite different than one would gather from the commentary and complaints. I believe there’s even a contemporaneous quote with the pornstar…

I’m not sure I follow. Are you saying that, in a forum where people are swapping “war stories”, it is hard to imagine some guy exaggerating aspects of a story, or completely fabricating one, in a way that was problematic? Is it the idea that, having been called out for issues with such embellishments, that same guy,…

You calling me an idiot is THEE height of projection.

“yeah those pictures were staged. no one’s calling her calculated. it was all set up by some team.”

Thank you for clarifying that his team says she’s recanted, but has provided no evidence of this. What a dodgy move from his lawyer.

“Why It Matters If He Strangled Her” is a weird header choice. Seems pretty self-evident.

Are we in the post-Me Too era now then? I suppose pushback is inevitable but I honestly did not think we’d go back to a time when some Disney movies were important enough to manipulate society and a domestic violence victim into accepting a violent sociopath as a charming leading man. Of course, I’m not exactly…
