the stench from the respectability politics of everything she and so many of the black people the news interviewed yesterday was vomit-inducing. one of the things the recent incidents of police brutality and protest have shown is the class issues we have in the black community that rarely come to light. we often rally…

It is fraud for one. You are removing an owner from the title, you even mention that as a plus. That is not a plus, it’s just fraud. You are not bound by the laws other sellers at your volume are and it remove any possibility of going after you for mechanical or title issues.

So that means we won’t see anything like this? Lame.

Man so many butthurt people here just itching to take this girl down.

OK. Well... let’s take it back a few steps?

Too bad all of her friends will then want to learn how to drive manual in said car.

Also, I would just like to add, fuck every single one of you sociopaths who simply cannot understand that the majority of people on assistance work full time and usually more.

Uh, I hate to say it but a lot of people who receive assistance ARE working.

Given how brutally means-tested all forms of public assistance are (they WILL call you if you get even a tiny deposit in your bank account) and the piddly amounts given out, I'm not sure your claim of abuse stands much scrutiny. But I'm glad the assistance was there for you and that you were able to get back up on…

I was on food stamps in California for about a year and a half. I was having serious mental health problems and in and out of hospitals at the time. I had a part-time job workign from home, but was getting paid minimum wage and only 15-20 hours a week. It made the difference between not eating at all and having a meal…

This is my mother's actual argument. They don't deserve $15/hour because that's what SHE makes and that would be UNFAIR. Yeah, mom, feeling more important than fast food workers is definitely more important than paying them enough to afford to eat.

I’m pretty sure that many people who are blind, partially paralyzed, or have other physical impairments would love to have one fewer thing they are dependent on other people for.

I think anyone who uses taxi and public transportation want that. And blind, handicaped, elder, etc...

That would have been the smart way to handle it. Pretty much everyone has said or done things that they’re not proud of, and the mark of maturity is being able to look back at those things and understand why it was wrong. Trying to cover it up just shows that he understands that it’s bad PR, but doesn’t truly get why…

Not really, since there’s evidence of him abusing PoC semi recently (which was a surprise to me because we were friends.)

Someone who contributes to groupthink said when she first became a contributor Pinkham apparently took umbrage with one of her posts and left her a crap ton of crazy messages. The kicker is he apparently knew what he was doing since he kept on sending the messages on a dismissed thread so that she and only she could…

That's oddly specific lol

Live journal is ten years old. Tumblr is 4. He’s also been aggressive and abusive and dismissive and racist towards WOC on groupthink much more recently.

I’m just replying to make sure this stays at the top. And a bunch of us want to marry you.
