whoever made that call was, presumably, trying to save the lives of the people godbolt was threatening. this is exactly the sort of domestic violence situation where others SHOULD intervene. it’s the job of the police to intervene when a person’s trying to kill other people. nobody stuck their nose into anything,…

I was really turned off by the governor’s statement in response to the incident, which really only addressed the killing of the officer and not the 7 other innocent people who died:

A lot of these shootings have a jealousy or desire to see someone else hurt element. When these people say they “just wanted to end it all” or some such what they mean is “I wanted to hurt others and make them suffer while not facing the consequences”.

I’m with you. I don’t care how insensitive it sounds; just fucking off yourself and make the world a better place. Leave your damned family, and also in this case, the family of a person that had to intervene, out of this mess.

Is the reason no women are mentioned in this report just that the victims haven’t been publicly identified yet? It’s interesting to me that the important news here seems to be that a law enforcement officer died, not a family.

A sheriff’s deputy would be a good guy with a gun, right?

They allegedly treated Naturi like shit because she was the “dark skinned” one. Naturi is having the last laugh. She’s the one on the hit show and who has starred in hit movies like Notorious. Kiely is a nobody and Adrienne is a laughing stock these days who just married a deadbeat.

If I’m not misrepresenting pineapple’s statement, I think you’re in agreement on certain parts.

Wow. Of all the lame “feminist” justifications for stripping, “If men are gonna objectify women, it’s only right that women demand to be paid for it” is the lamest. Write your book, give good advice to your fellow strippers, stay safe and healthy, express yourself. But you can’t participate in the objectification…

Honest question: If you never “had a cute butt, perky tits and tiny waist” ever in your life, would you feel so confident at 67? I’m pretty positive you’re saying you’ve experienced both ends of the spectrum, so you have some perspective. And that’s valid. But I really do wonder if it’s as easy to have this…

I’d help!

Fuck them because we, as olds, grew up completely surrounded by images of people being cool for smoking. Last night I was having a nightcap and listening to a record and I caught myself thinking “all I am missing is a cigarette.” I DON’T EVEN SMOKE. I wish I hadn’t grown up at a time when we were saturated with images…

Judging whether Ben is sufficiently or “really” queer/trans isn’t going to help anyone. I would rather we stopped spreading the message that it’s okay to invalidate people’s gender identity and sexuality. I don’t care whether Ben is faking; I care more about what they did.

I understood their point.

Avi (bass) and Kevin (beatbox) are really what make Pentatonix so good IMO

Way to shit on queer kids & transfemmes for no reason.

Okay, let’s not go there. They’re shit, but deciding they’re a straight cis man because they’re shit sets a bad precedent. Invalidating people’s gender & sexuality is a dick move.

I’ve never doodled a swastika, because why would I? This experience is not as universal as you think.

Uh....no. Correct pronouns are not a privilege to be revoked if someone steps out of line, commits a crime, etc. Just use the right fucking pronouns and stop whining about it. Singular “they” has been in use in the English language for ages and is widely considered correct, anyhow:

Blasphemy! Avi’s bass is the best singing voice in the group!
