Don’t bother with that person. He will take this story and make himself a martyr, that’s just what he does.

Yes. But seriously, yes.

I totally understand.

Yep. Never underestimate how much people want to defend a rich white man.

Oh wow, this is a great statement.

Just say it’s a tragedy. I’m not that upset by it honestly, because cops are cops, but it just perpetuates other men piping up and giving us condescending advice. It gets old.

That’s what I’ve heard, so that’s why I’m morbidly curious. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stand it the whole movie though.

Yeah. It’s super gross.

Thank you. I’m sorry that you’ve had to deal with that too. I believe you too.

Well said. And yes, unfortunately, all of that behavior I am intimately familiar with. My ex would hide things around the house so my roommates also thought I was nuts, and I would even question my own sanity because he would lie and say that I would do things and that I just forgot about it.

Absolutely. And of course we know, as in everything in America, it also has a racist history as well. The image of the pious, slender and fragile, white woman and the men who protect them.

He somehow took this post about an abusive relationship and turned it into a screed on confederate monuments, I think? It’s creative, I’ll give him that.

Yep. As a woman that has been in the exact kind of relationship that dykstra described, when we broke up all my friends basically sided with him because he convinced them that I had been cheating and been crazy this whole time. And then I got the crazy label and that’s hard to shake off.

Oh and I didn’t take it as an attack at all. I like you too.

Yeah, as someone who has spent some time in jail, I find it utterly unbelievable that everything is fine with supplies and food and cleanliness. If that were the case, why are they so private and only allowed the press there at a scheduled time? I firmly believe we are being fed propaganda.

Oh my gosh. I’m really sorry that my comment came across that way, and I can see why it would. I was just trying to stress to him that he has no idea what it is like living day to day as someone that is a foot and a half shorter than him. I didn’t mean petite as in skinny necessary, just like child sized almost,…

Yeah. This whole thing is not good. Like no aspect of it.

OOoo this is a excellent endorsement! I was leaning to probably yes, but I’m a binge watcher, a completist and an insomniac, so I tend to watch a stupid amount of tv, but I’m utterly convinced! Haha.

Fuck. I don’t know why, but the siblings thing didn’t even occur to me. So, yeah if they have an older brother or sister, they can’t even be with them. How horrific.

I’ve watched The Americans up to season 4, and while I do like the show, I can’t decide if I should stick with it. I feel like the constant will they be found out thing to be played out by now, especially since I know neither of them are going to die. Is it worth it to watch until the end?
