This doesn’t surprise me. Cycles of abuse are self-perpetuating. I’m surprised more people aren’t pointing out how distressingly similar the details of this assault are to her allegation against Weinstein: the grooming and isolating of the victim, providing alcohol before attacking etc. It’s infuriating to think…

“I haven’t read the article but -”

Who TF posts NUDE photos to INSTAGRAM of themselves with a MINOR period?!

Cracka pox

He’s there to teach black people to hate gay people, whom his god tells him he hates more than black people. 

“He blamed his outburst on an illness which caused him to suffer stress that subsequently caused him to attack the hotel staff unprovoked“

I would argue that the only “black” part of his experience is the fact that he arrived at the airport at 6:00 a.m. for a 6:24 a.m. flight.

Great post. No one here is saying things can’t be shitty for white people. Just put yourself in a black persons shoes. Our history is too unique to just discount the concept of white privilege. Rich, middle class or poor.

When I was younger, I genuinely believed that I had never enjoyed any of the benefits of white privilege. I was poor, with no prospects, no hope of any far-off future inheritance, working demeaning jobs, living in crappy apartments, and so on. I would get fairly indignant at any suggestion that I was somehow the…

Big “if.” Since the misdemeanor charges are violation of national park regulations or public use limit; trespassing; disorderly conduct, and interfering with government functions, it seems no damage was done.

I deliver for Caviar on the weekends. The richer the house/apartment looks the lower the tip I know I’m getting.

Rich people are CHEAP AS FUCK.  That’s (one of) the reasons why they are rich.  Then they come up with some bullshit argument that “it’s the principal of thing, not the dollar amount.” Trying to justify their cheapness. 

That’s normative philosophy for you - following the rules in theory results in better outcomes in the long run even if it seems like it ignores a glaringly obvious counterexample. Kant valued intent over outcomes, so the act of lying cannot be justified by its results. Of course results based morality is its own…

I bumped into Kant in my teens, and YYH decades later. YYH served to perfect Kant’s teachings.

When I was delivering pizzas, true to stereotype the people living in the most run down houses *always* tipped and often *generously* while the folks in McMansions with BMWs in the driveway would tip a buck - maybe.

That I did know.

As a non-American was shocked by how cheap the food was, then I remembered I had to factor in that 20%.

Not sure if this was already addressed yet in the article, or comments. Please, please, PUH-LEASE be aware of delivery charges! Case en pointe, Domino’s Pizza. Don’t judge me! I love their alfredo bowls and faux “buttery” garlic crust. But anyways.

Good thing her cousin was there to give her a hug and make it all better.
