Absolutely, and I think a lot of people would probably go for it. However, in cases like Batali’s, I think he has too much at stake (being a high-profile person,) to roll the dice on voluntarily engaging in a process that would require that he specifically own up to xyz specific wrongful behavior. At least for his…

Neah. If the dems want support they need to earn it.

“The Democratic Party is trying to replace the current electorate, the voters now casting ballots, with new people, more obedient voters from the Third World,”

The practical issue with restorative justice is that, constitutionally, you can’t force the alleged perpetrator to participate in any given “restorative” process without them either agreeing to do so (like through a plea,) or getting over the hurdle of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that they did whatever it is…

Nowadays 85% of them identify as White. It follows the Irish Italian Jewish path I suppose.

I said this to someone else: it would depend on where the male version gets implanted. I don’t have uterus, so the “U” in IUD would have to be something else, and I’m not sure where else they’re going to put that thing that would make it an out-patient procedure that isn’t in the arm or somewhere (which I’d rather not…

I’d be about it, but if I’m being honest, it really depends on where the thing would go. I don’t have the “U” referenced in “IUD”, so..... 

I dunno. I take a pill for cholesterol and two for anxiety every day. What’s one more?

I’m more angry and feel greater moral indignation regarding Chauvin because of the abuse of power involved, and the fact that he was acting “in his right mind”.

I think I’d rather have the vasectomy. I don’t think I have the discipline to take something every day if my literal life doesn’t depend on it.

Every time I see Britney post these kinds of pictures on IG, my sense is that she’s living her best life, and that’s a good thing. That said, it really feels like a double-standard that IG just sort of it lets it go, when I’ve read about or heard interviews with legit sex workers who post less risqué stuff on IG, but…

How on Earth do you have an entire article about the governor of Florida virtue signaling against “communism”, without mentioning the fact that one of the largest, most powerful ethnic groups in the state (which basically dominates the South Florida political establishment)—Cubans and Cuban Americans—are just about…

I didn’t like HRC all that much—thought she was qualified and competent, did her homework, but didn’t vote for in the primary. However, I voted for her in the general because I, like many Republicans, am basically a single-issue voter when it comes to Presidential elections, and that single issue is SCOTUS: a zero-sum…

On the bottom *and* facing away lol

Disabled people are not obligated to keel over and die in obscurity when ableds no longer find them convenient.

That kind of reasoning seems like a cousin of “the ends justify the means.” Mind, I’m not judging you; I find that rationalizing incredibly appealing. Ever since the Dobbs decision leaked, my idealism is wayyyy down, and my ruthless consequentialism is wayyyyy up.

That’s kind of my point. I’m not a principled enough person to actually genuinely feel any moral outrage at Cawthorn being sexually humiliated, or being the victim of what is arguably revenge porn. I understand that it is nominally bad and indecent that this happened, but I feel such a seething hatred, disgust, and…

I just don’t see the supposed lever that automatically sways someone who had to fight as much her.

I don’t have an opinion on Talmudic interpretation or Rabbinical law—I frankly don’t know jack shit about it, but it’s always refreshing to hear of ways people can engage in Abrahamic religion without having to be complete monsters.

It looks like she had her first bout with cancer in 1999 [1].
