Five years.

As a Mexican-American, the pandering is insulting and super cringe-inducing.

She was awarded for her medical bills, that coffee was well into dangerous temperatures and caused third degree burns on 6% (eta actually it may have been 16%) of her body. It almost killed her. She was in the hospital for 8 days and needed skin grafts. She originally asked for her medical bills but they refused.

This was the most horrifying part for me too. It’s the part that convinced me that he clearly didn’t consent to anything. It also convinced me that she really believed her own fiction. Otherwise, I doubt she would’ve admitted to it.

Did this article mention his race? I know the original did I’m just wondering if I missed it here. Her preying on a vulnerable black family definitely adds an even more unpleasant accent to this whole thing.

A particularly disturbing detail in this case is that Stubblefield’s own report about their sexual contact involves an instance of DJ crawling away from her and trying to leave the room when she began stimulating him. He was actively trying to get away from her, and then she “helped” him type out a reason for his…

People LOVED that facilitated communication when it first came out. It was heartbreaking to see families put so much faith into them, only to have it completely debunked later. That Frontline documentary is fascinating and everyone should watch it.

Right? “Oh, don’t worry, you should sign up for this registry! It’s a national registry of people we want to track . . . so we can help you! Don’t forget to keep us updated when you move. So we can help you!”

Right? What kind of backhanded xenophobic shit is that.

The U.S. has long history of doing this to poor women of color too, FYI. No, it doesn’t only happen in “places like Pakistan” (subtle). Feel free to never visit Peru again :).

Omg. Thank you. I know exactly what they were doing because there really was no reason for them to not only post that comment but directly reply to me...ugh. This is not the first time I’ve seen some one comment on an article addressing the oppression of poc or woc and find some way to talk about white women. You have…

Yes, but this person, by personal admission, says that gaming is indeed a huge part of their life and that gaming is a huge part of his story of agoraphobia and not leaving his apartment for a year.

The title is %100 accurate. It is a story about a gamer who did not leave his apartment for a year. The what, when, why, where, how is supposed to be in the article. Let me ask you if this title sounds better from a journalistic standpoint: Agoriphobic Man Who Is Primarily A Video Game Streamer In His Everyday Life…

And the second paragraph of the article clearly explains why this gentleman didn’t leave his house.

I read East of Eden once. It was a really good multigenerational saga about two connected families in California at the turn of the 20th century, touching on beneficence, love, and the struggle for acceptance, greatness, and the capacity for self-destruction and especially of guilt and freedom.

It’s almost as if you’re against reading the title and being able to jump straight to the comments, you monster.

girl,you handled that! white women like her always gotta attempt to derail shit and interject themselves into situations concerning woc.

Okay, my bad thought you were directing your comment towards me. I’m very aware of what a public forum is, I’m also no stranger to people responding to comments in a passive aggressive manner to somehow undermine my statements or derail my arguments.

Right. Being a POC does not exclude you from participating in and enforcing white supremacy.

So apparently the SAE guy turning away POC was a black guy, according to the SAE President?
