The cookie program has some flaws, and any adult that participates knows it’s a pain in the ass. It sucks that the girls earn so little, BUT most of the girls have a lot of fun doing it and love being able to use cookie credits to go to camp. The troop I mentored for robotics was a lower income area, there was no way…

ITA. And these moments with their fellow troupe members along with the overwhelming support of their community in this instance may change these girls’ perception of the world around them and their ability to thrive in it. A simple donation doesn’t do that. I can’t with this cynicism.

The girls in my area recieve .73 a box... so at 30, 000 they would have earned 21,900 for thier troop which could help all 500 (thier target goal) purchase uniforms, take on charities, do work in the community. They could use all 21 k of thier proceeds to fix a shelter or so forth. Girl scouts for these girls is not…

I spent nearly half a year homeless and two of the first things to go are a sense of pride and community. The article above even states that by being in this troop and having this sale that these girls feel less isolated.

These jabs are great and all, but this motherfucker was still part of the reason Trump won. The whole hand size thing...can dudes stop thinking about their dicks for like 2 seconds?

HDTV will not be kind to some of the awful paint jobs

“I moved past it,” said the abuser, unironically.

This part threw me but I’m too lazy to go look at the original records at this moment. Why is he saying he was acquitted when he received probation? You don’t receive punishment like probation if you’re actually acquitted...

This precious child!

If people can see the cases of Ethan Couch and Brock Turner and dont believe that white privileged isn’t real, than they’re being deliberately obtuse.

She said that a year after she left the company she ran into Weinstein at the Cannes Film Festival, and “he told me that everything I had done was pointless.”

I’d be fine if they enforced the “well-regulated militia” portion.

Well, jeez, if those kids would get off instagram and twitter and instead learn trauma surgery in their spare time...problem solved!

Every time we think we’ve seen the absolute worst of these conservatives, they find new ways to be horrific. They’re attacking teenagers who survived a mass murder. I can’t even comprehend it. They are attacking teenagers who survived a mass murder. It’s breathtaking. They have no God damned souls. Their voters are…

It’s infuriatingly telling that he regards American citizens lobbying their elected representatives to enact laws on behalf of their constituency as “looking to someone else solve their problem.” That’s literally the entire point of having elected representatives.

Doctors took to Twitter to slam Santorum as well, emphasizing that CPR isn’t really going to do much when you’re literally bleeding to death.

Also, who is going to stop and perform CPR on a bleeding person when THEY ARE ALSO RUNNING FROM A GUNMAN?

CPR isn’t even super effective. And even I, a non-medical professional, knew that. Because I read sometimes. Rick Santorum is an intellectually incurious dolt.

It’s so weird, because white business types absolutely LOVE coke and everybody knows it.

If we’re seriously talking about who “caused” the opioid crisis (and there’s no serious thought involved in the Trump administration, ever), we’d have to go back to the pharmaceutical companies that promised the opioids had no addictive properties. So kill the pharma execs? Seems unlikely.
