Yea no. Being raped and fathering a child you do not want are NOT the same. At all.

I’m male, but I don’t feel that taints my opinion on this - while that’s not as bad by a goddamned long shot as this stealthing bullshit,that deceit is just as real and very potentially damaging, albeit in a different way - to both the unsuspecting potential father AND the child/ren that may result.

Tricking someone into conceiving a child is despicable. I don’t know what explicitly qualifies as sexual assault or rape in this instance, but this is most certainly tricking someone into doing something sexual to which they did not consent. Sounds like it to me.

AAVE is not American Standard English with mistakes.

I dont buy clothes online. I want to try them on before i buy it. I have an aversion to returning things.

Every black person doesn’t speak in AAVE.

Some people don’t talk good, but they talk good enough.

Ron Howard’s tweet has just that soupçon of petty asshole. He didn’t look good in that book she wrote, eh?

Race is literally mentioned in the headline. The white author chose to make this about race.

You seem to REALLY want the reader to assume that Chris is white. You point out that the actual artist is a black woman numerous times, and you use words like “entitled” to describe Chris, but then you sneak in at the very end that his mother is black. So, basically, he’s every bit as black as our first black…

I hated Happy Days. But rest in peace, person who was apparently beloved and obviously much too young to die.

Yup. Saint Reagan deregulated them and started this shitstorm in the first place.

Same thought occurred to me, but that’s apparently a direct quote from her comment, so the copy editor should not change it.

I love his style though I am wondering about that cropped shirt action he has going on.

It’s $25, not $250. If you’re able to afford a ticket, the $25 shouldn’t break you. If her stroller was so small, it could have fit into checked luggage. Most of the people that bring all that crap on planes also check luggage, barring business travelers on day or overnight trips.

You work long hours in cramped spaces dealing with whiny people that generally fall into two categories: they never fly and demand stupid shit, or they always fly and demand stupid shit.

All *American* airlines. I just flew back from Asia this week on ANA. It was noticeable and almost disconcerting how much more pleasant the interactions with the flight staff were.
