“this bipartisan world we have where you’re just in one camp or the other.”

Neither drugging or robbing is sexual assault, which is the specific claim under contention here.

Hmmmmmm.

“Seriously, she sexually assaulted those men”

Were people praising Cardi B with sincerity for stealing? On Jezebel? Certainly wasn’t this author, who may well have been in middle school when it happened.

My understanding is that it’s largely determined by the available dollar figures, not historical spending patterns (which can change dramatically in the wake of a divorce, especially when there’s bad blood and the parents are competing for the affection of the kids).

Like I said, no one should have this amount of money, but the principal from what I understand is to ensure that the kids have the same or similar material resources available to them no matter which parent has custody of them on any given day. If one parent has an obscene amount of resources, that’s what’s on the…

No one should have this much money to argue over, but the point of child support is to ensure that the kids have similar resources and lifestyle no matter which parent they are with. The baseline doesn’t start with their bare minimum needs and work up, it starts with what they will have with the wealthier party and…

That’s not how any of that works.

Understood, I did the same thing for a while, but then came to the conclusion that engaging with people with his MRA/incel talking points is a mission for him, and any opportunity to do so is a success for him, and I *really* don’t like the idea of this guy having anything that he wants. No criticism if you take a…

This pigeon-brained incel does not haunt these boards looking for good faith discussion. You really don’t want to invite his cloaca into your life. His whole thing is to try to spin MRA/incel nonsense as being something other than what it is (such as, rather than address “believes women are logically inferior” he…

Cancel culture is an inconsequential and largely imaginary internet trend, but saying you are “over” the inconsequential and largely imaginary internet trend is worth a comically cranky response. Absolute gold medal performance in mental gymnastics.

I mean, I know the whole “she actually does care” is supposed to be sort of win in these arguments (or, at least, a way for too-online people to console themselves for the fact that *they* care), she clearly doesn’t in any way that matters. If she cared about alienating her fans or losing Instagram followers, she’d…

Yeah, Jezebel was (correctly) pro-chalk art here:

No worries, I’m bored too. The fact that they’re being paid for this, and that I, to my shame, am consuming it, doesn’t make it journalism any more than Crayons are made food because a toddler ate them. Content wise, this post is just a wordier version of someone quote-tweeting a link to a news article and saying…

She didn’t report on what people are saying on the internet. She linked to other people who were reporting on it, and provided no relevant new information or insight. The bar for journalism is not just “writing that makes reference to current events” - there has to be some value-add.

In case anyone is wondering, key piece of information that was left out is that Hilton arrived on the island almost a week ago. So, I guess her sin is - not being able to predict the future?

Too young for WWII, too old for the draft. Guy volunteered for Vietnam.

It’s a euphemism usually used for giving up a pet. The author presumably chose it to convey the respect the author has for the actual fully-formed human being in the article.

Love that the “Support the troops” nonsense has so permeated the discourse that even ostensibly progressive sites are going to use the fact that sixty years ago this man volunteered to kill brown people for pay is a reason to sympathize with him. I’m on team “Hate-her-music-but-she-never-napalmed-a-village”.
