Possibly, but I have also seen men and white people get very defensive about feeling targeted as a gender/race even if they are not engaging in questionable behavior themselves.

It took me through my early twenties to figure that out about myself. Like most college kids I didn’t drink at all during the week, but might drink 4 drinks at a party on the weekend, and would sometimes black out from that amount if I drank too quickly or drank hard liquor where it was unclear how much was in a…

Well, since he was sexually abused by a priest growing up, I doubt that he really knew and was minimizing it. Sounds more like they didn’t know anything at the time.

I have always found him attractive, but obviously I am in a very small minority. Or, as I prefer to think about it, an elite group.

If Trump is impeached, Pence becomes president and appoints his own VP, who then would become president were Pence to be impeached. Trump and Pence would have to be impeached at the same exact time for Ryan to become president, correct? Can you impeach a VP?

Yeah, as an adult I think McConaughey actually is much more attractive and charismatic, and DiCaprio has always seemed like a whiny baby. But I was 20 when it came out, and not a preteen.

I do think there is a difference in the trans issue, since it is not always something that is public.

Yeah, when forced his coworker to hug Trump after hearing that little speech, that crossed the line for me.

Isn’t Washington D.C. a literal swamp as well as a metaphorical one?

I go back and forth between thinking new words will improve things or not. People are going to be racist and not want to admit it no matter what. But I do think there is an issue where “racist” has been and continues to be a very personal sin, a way to point out a individual evil in a person. So when topics like…

I would occasionally read The Root when it was its own separate site but cross-posted to Slate, but I never registered an account to comment because that would be....weird. But now that stories are cross-posted to other Gawker sites where I have commented for years it is much easier to chime in without thinking.

I am imagining she plagiarized such uniques phrases as “and then” and “she said” from his emails.

Earth’s Best Organic apple cinnamon oatmeal is the best.

“I’ve seen them come to court”.

Is that like having one hand in his pocket and the other one is giving a peace sign?

The whole titillation of this story is the hilarity of two ice princesses being engaged in such a violent, sordid affair. And like anything involving women, you can’t have sympathy for Tonya without trashing Nancy.

Yeah, I don’t think these apologies are good or absolve them of anything or make me like them any more. I just think that by admitting something it makes it harder (but not impossible since we live in 2017 and reality means nothing) to totally dismiss out of hand.

The only way I see it being helpful, in the case of Louis C.K., Charlie Rose and Matt Lauer, is that they are somewhat undercutting the hordes of men out there who think all these stories are false and no big deal. They aren’t outright confessing to specific incidents, but they are saying “I did a bad thing and it is…

Eeewwwwwww.....

Now, that makes sense. I knew the speed represented something serious going on.
