99% of cops are either bullies and thugs, or they enable the bullies and thugs. If this hadn’t been so clearly caught on camera, I guarantee you that her partner would have helped her lie about what actually happened to make her look good. You could take it to an even more basic level: if you mouth off to a cop, do…

I was “almost” reprimanded (the reprimand didn’t go in my file) two weeks ago for saying and doing inappropriate things in my high school class. I let them talk me into doing the funky chicken dance for snapchat, I told them I could rap and did the “cosine, secant, tangent, sine” thing, and I said “bullshit” a couple…

She shot him because she wasn’t “having cooperation” from him.

I think that she’s definitely making the right call by refusing to say another word. It doesn’t sound to me like this bottom-feeder is necessarily looking for an admission regarding abortion. If she gave any answered that indicated that she was merely sexually active at sixteen, he’d have just as much fun with that.

How did the judge make a ruling without showing up?

But prescription-less birth control means that my health insurance won’t pick up the tab. Paying for it yourself would make it much more expensive over time than going to the doctor and getting a prescription.

If you can manage it for even a single, solitary second

I’m a feminist. I’m divorced, and I was a virgin when I got married. My dream is to find a man who loves me and wants to get married and is okay with waiting to have sex until our wedding night. That’s just what I want; it’s not really a feminist thing, unless you count me saying no to sex that I don’t want on…

Given that I burn instantly, hate getting sand up my ass, and only like the ocean for wading, I would wear one of those.

I feel like a terrible person because it’s wrong to be glad when someone dies.

It’s almost like you’re trying to say that the patch broke the games.

I still miss Gawker. I’ve always loved Jezebel, of course—it’s where I go for serious social-minded stuff. But Gawker was my source for snarky news, almost like Jon Stewart-era The Daily Show in written form. Can anyone recommend a replacement?

I’m not talking about what the sex offender “deserves” or what “restitution” can be made to his victims. I’m talking about reducing recidivism for offenders, which, in turn, is part of lowering the number of future victims. If you could keep an offender from hurting someone else or you could channel all of your…

I knew I’d heard of Amnesia, but my first experience with it was a few months ago when I was trying to download Sanitarium (don’t judge me) on Steam (I can feel you judging me!) and got the name wrong (okay, fine, judge me). I kept it anyway, and, yes. Impressed.

I got that from your post, thanks. ;)

I wasn’t commenting on the larger issues of immigration and migrant workers.I’m talking about women (and children) being treated like dangerous criminals for simply existing.

The posters I’m referring to took it outside of personal tragedy to comment on the previous post. What can I say? Using the horrific death of a child to have the last word in an ongoing social-policy conversation just rubs me the wrong way.

Everything is better when you can switch between first and third, but, no, being stuck in first person is not always better.

Reading Fauziya Kausinga’s memoirs in college really opened my eyes to the plight of illegal aliens. We treat people who’s only crime is existing as if they ran into traffic naked firing shotguns into the crowd at random and peeing on babies while high on crack. Actually, I can imagine that guy as a DC supervillain.

It’s Saturday, so I have time to address some of the stupidest comments I’ve ever seen on a Gawker network (do we still call this that?) in recent memory.
