“I’ve always been raised as being currently a 26-year-old,”

My very first thought was that the parents changed their mind about it after it was posted and decided it might not be safe for him.

One of the less well known things is that the likes of facebook, youtube, twitter et al outsource content moderation to low wage economies; who wade through stuff including child porn, beheading videos, etc and screen them at. (Horribly, they need dedicated PTSD councillors in some places).

So that small percentage,…

Facebook’s complaints thing is automated, with only a small percentage of reports actually passing by a human being. (With the millions of Facebook users out there, that’s hardly unreasonable.) I can never find the link, but one of their former complaints guys posted a really informative article about the process a…

I'm just confused because the kid looks like he's 8.

Erm, statistics of conception are supposed to be based on populations that didn’t have fertility treatments.

If you’re trying to get pregnant, you’re not going to go straight for fertility treatments if you haven’t even tried the usual way.

You should sue. You are assuredly the first person to ever think of underground parks. It’s not like Golden Age sci-fi writers were conceptualizing this stuff 60 years ago or anything ;)

but Jamie King gets paid to be an actor on the show, right? She isn’t working for free.

People thinking that some mentally-ill people can commit violent acts they would not commit were they sane and that it should be carefully weighted when deciding one’s fate is not the same as thinking every mentally-ill person will (or can) commit said acts.

I believe one can be mentally ill and aware of what they’re doing. One can be mentally ill and racist. No defending him, but I think he had the same mental illness that Ismaaiyl Brinsley had.

Ok, but sociopathy is a mental disorder. And I have a strong feeling that Dylann Roof is a sociopath.

Ok it’s clear he was aware of what he was doing, and he was certainly racist, no doubt. He should be locked up for the rest of his life, no doubt. But that doesn’t mean he wasn’t mentally ill. I mean it’s very probable that he’s a clear cut sociopath, with extreme violent tendencies, which, correct me if I’m wrong, is…

Okay. Why are they not mental illness that should be treated?

“Now Roof’s deranged white supremacist manifesto is public and it could qualify as evidence showing that Roof was not in a delusional”

But I understood that a large portion of her family IS black. Four adopted siblings, one of whom she raised helped raise.

That’s how I read it. She decided to keep her hair (like, in a box) when she lost it due to chemo. (Or she decided to have it cut/shaved off before she lost it due to chemo, which sounds like it would work better for having a wig made out of it.)

I hear ya, being black in the US is fukkin tuff, probably even more so as a woman.

None of this makes sense to me. So racist white people want to excuse this person just because she is white, even though she has completely rejected her whiteness? And everyone else condemns this woman because she is a typical white person highjacking and exploiting black culture? Seems to me she is (1) a liar, (2)…

What crime has she inflicted upon you or anybody else, pray tell?

Would YOU wanna be the person who questioned the racial credentials of the new president of your NAACP chapter? How bad would you look if you were wrong? I think there was plenty of talk but no one wanted to be that person who asked her if she was really black.
