I’m sad this wasn’t this:

dropping sick beats like he drops sick customers

I had a guy do similar to me, 6 dates and I broke it off as I found myself becoming increasingly intimidated by him and how intense he was being. I was super careful to let him down gently, told him I just “wasn’t feeling it” and from what he had told me, we had different life goals (his included many children, mine…

You weren’t asking me, but no, I don’t believe you can.

I’ll never forget when I was dating this man three years ago and one day he proceeded to get strangely aggressive toward me and controlling. I looked him in the eye, tried my best not to look scared and proceeded as normal with cooking, and he backed off of his “weird mood.” But I felt like I escaped something. Then…

Think real hard about whether that fact actually undermines the OP’s point.

Yes, but that’s not really the point. Her friend was killed because of her ex boyfriend's anger towards her decision to break off the relationship. This is a fear women face while dealing with controlling significant others. It is an unfortunately reality that we have to deal with.

I watched a documentary on MDR-TB in southern Africa and it was fucking terrifying. The side effects of the medication are so extreme that it’s almost impossible to stick to your regime for the correct amount of time. THIS is the shit people need to be talking about. Fuck off with your gluten. Gluten is never going to…

part of what freaks me out about this story (and did when i was dealing with TB treatment myself) is that it’s so hard to treat active TB correctly even for a diligent person in comfortable circumstances — i had to take four medications every day for like nine months, couldn’t drink, had to go for tests all the time,…

Like Trevor Noah satire’d last week: it’s time to run commercials in various African countries asking that they give money to children in American cities have: clean drinking water (Flint - arrest the Gov).

The last time I checked Bill Cosby was the one slipping people quaaludes and raping them not Gawker. I think you’re confused and you need to reread the chain of events.

You’re on the wrong website for that shit.

Seriously? Over 50 women have come forward. He has admitted to using drugs on women he wants to have sex with. What else do you need, a fucking video of him raping all 50 women?

I just don’t get how any kind of agreement like that is legal. Prosecutors can just bump it to civil court and wipe their hands of it despite significant evidence of a crime?

The deposition, in which Cosby said that he gave Constand, “three friends to make (her) relax,” was cited as a key piece of evidence prior to Cosby’s arrest.

The disgusting collaboration of so many people to keep this man from his just punishment is astounding. The hypocrisy, the victim blaming, the denial, the COLLECTIVE denial....it’s all part and parcel of the process. And yet, of everything I just read, the fact that Bill Cosby referred to Qualudes as “friends” is what…
