I’m from Washington, and am so tired of all this Cascadia Now! secession business. It’s such a distraction from what we should be focussing on, with is resisting Trump. We’re stuck with these other idiot states whether we like it or not. Secession is a distraction.

Eh, aren’t most Californians from somewhere else, though? Seems silly to degrade the rest of the country when half your own people are from there. I’m from Washington State, where this is also true, and I want the rest of the country to come live here, work here, spend their money here, smoke our legal weed, and…

Me too. I think it will be an ISIS attack.

I agree, it would have been wonderful if white people who have traditionally voted Democratic could have put aside whatever differences they had with the DNC/Hillary Clinton and voted for her instead of Trump. Instead it went the other way. :(

Yeah, he totally fucked her here. It’s like she has the mother of all Trophy Wife war stories. A cautionary tale for Eastern bloc models considering this type of life.

Yeah, I see it as, she knew he was an eccentric rich guy, who may have some skeletons in his closet, but he seemed nice enough. Then she got married, and realized it was way worse than she thought. Then, he goes and runs for president. She’s not responsible for the actions of her husband. She’s probably not the best…

Tiny/desperate fingers make such better clothes! And so much cheaper.

Yeah, it’s impossible to see what anyone is mad at the Kardashians for. It’s true that they re-appropriate black culture, which is gross, but that doesn’t seem to be what most people are mad about.

This all sounds good until you realize that the topics up for debate are the level of humanity black people are entitled to, whether Muslims should be expelled from the country, or forced to register, or whether gays should allowed to be out in society.

Yeah, people seem to have a really distorted view of what the music industry is like. I actually don’t know much about it myself, but I do get the sense that it’s a lot tougher to make any amount of money than people think. People seem to think you can either have integrity and make a modest amount of money (by what…

Exactly. There are so many 90's artists touring the casino circuit because they made no money when they were big.

Would not know

Obviously you can do whatever you want, but it’s a fact that empty-nesters moving in are the final phase of any gentrification cycle.

Yeah, but you’ll also be the canary in the coal mine for whatever neighborhood you move to, if it’s not already destroyed by gentrification. There’s one way to live in the city, and that’s in your 20's.

Yeah, I mean, he could have killed her for any reason: boredom, depression, anger. Maybe he did it on purpose, maybe not. The point is that putting humans in a swimming pool with enormous marine carnivores is totally crazy. Something’s going to go wrong eventually, and the result will be death or dismemberment.

Ok.

Sorry, I just don’t see it. Only the staff at the detention center are responsible for her death.

Her Mom didn’t kill her, though. Lots of people survive abusive homes.

Kind of late to this, but I feel the exact same way. When I met my fiancé, I was like, *thank God* I didn’t try to settle or force something that wouldn’t have been as good. Maybe all my previous relationships were just really crap, but from the beginning, with him, I just kind of knew it was different.

You were the one deriding these things as ‘more support’ while promoting the bsi as something else. I have no problem with government safety net programs.
