So the hero is the person who provided the cash, and not the person who’s ideas and hard work led to the result?

People in an abusive relationship often have low self esteem or self image. If it took seeing herself actually being with someone else then that's ok. Victims of abuse have all sorts of reasons for staying and leaving. Who are you to judge?

A lot of people have stated the "sometimes you don't know how bad things are until you have someone to show you/ experience normalcy" reason. This seems quite logical to me, but I'd like to pose an alternative (or perhaps addition).

It's that flash of normality, kindness and sweetness that shows what you're experiencing in a savagely clear light. Sorry you don't approve, but a lot of people in abusive manipulative relationships only find the thread of a way out when they encounter this. She had to leave. Period. If liking/making out with someone…

Sometimes in these types of relationships and situations you get to a point that you feel worthless. Then someone may come into your life who is not a friend or knows anything and can spark that worth back. If it helped her get out of this then good for her.

You get so blinded in these type of relationships... It takes somebody else, a friend, a romantic interest, a fuck buddy, to make you realize what you're missing out on or are mired in, sometimes.

The goal of this type of abuse is to gain control over someone, and this is accomplished by manipulation and by breaking that person down, destroying his/her self-esteem, and making him/her feel worthless, as though the abuser is the only person in the world who will deal with him/her. This encounter with "Hank"…

Sometimes it takes the glimpse of how ridiculously happy you can be to walk away from how miserable you are.

Sometimes it's not clear just how bad your relationship is until you experience something more normal. That can be a huge wake up call.

Have you ever used the app? The user actually picks a background photo or image to use - unless someone was replacing or creating these specifically for the article, its completely possible these are shown exactly how the women themselves entered them.

Once, when my dad was visiting family in Germany, he was feeling rather warm, so he told them "Ich bin heis," which literally translates to "I'm hot." They all laughed at him, and told him that's the wrong word for hot he was using, as he was basically telling them he was sexy in that context.

Congratulations, Mark! Scientists tell me that your use of hyperbole in headlines has become even more prolific than J.J. Abrams' use of lens flare!

Before anyone says, "You didn't know this?!" or "You don't already do this?" No.

Except that the Immaculate conception does not refer to Jesus' conception.

It is nice to have that one friend whom you can call and say "where's your baseball bat" and she goes "let's go" with no questions asked.

Anonymous is a completely decentralized, self-organizing identity that can be adopted by literally anyone, any time, for any reason. It's a powerful model for organized activism and terrorism, individual activity, or virtual lynch mobs. For this reason, any attempt to characterize Anonymous outside of any particular…

He is lying in wait. Biding his time. Waiting for the ruckus to die down before striking like a snake in the grass. Buy a gun, as soon as possible. You have your children and yourself to protect. He is a predator of women, and he isn't going to try and do things while the FBI is at your house. Try and think like a…

Hunter Moore is the reason why it's always a good idea* to have at least one friend who doesn't have a lot going on in life, is fond of violence, and doesn't ask questions when told that you need a favor. And is able to read a map and recognize someone from a photograph**.

How has this guy not been killed by someone? People have been murdered for a lot less.

You're right, they could sell this thing as the Dodge Dreamfucker with roughly the same results.
