I think a lot of people my age (21, so didn't really pay attention to entertainment news in 2006) just straight up didn't know. And I think that's a lot of the reason Hannibal got a lot of attention- most of the people watching him had no idea, and we're a generation that (mores at least than our parents and…

Although I totally agree about how depressing it is that people believe one dude but not 20+ women, I don't think that's exactly what happened here. I think it's just that most people, especially young people who are the most likely to get outraged at this sort of thing, straight-up didn't know. Which I'm sure isn't…

Right? I know joking isn't an excuse for being an ass, but pretty sure you're only an ass if you're "punching down". To me, it seemed like the butt of this joke was white people who don't know any black people. Or white people who seek one out for appearances sake. At worst, this is punching across.

My mama named my sister "Elizabeth Ann", which is the first and middle name combo of roughly 1 billion people. Also Elizabeth is in the top 10 names pretty much every single year that has ever happened.

I think my classes names were Jessica, Sarah, Ashley, Rachel, and Emily. Which is weird, because I knew at least 3 of each of those growing up, and now I know 3 people with any of those names.

Man, if only he had farted on her like he planned. That would have been so smooth.

Very true. Yet another reason why it'll never be a big problem.

"serial pregnancies" was the phrase.

Ha, mine is so not a people-dog. She's also pretty little so if anyone actually got inside I don't think she'd do anything. But she lets us know they're there. She will also only hang out with me, my sister, and our parents. Company = hide under bed until they go away.

I love my old girl. Got her when I was 10, and I'm 21 now. She's aloof and moody, and would rather curl up on the couch alone than cuddle. But she goes NUTS when someone even gets near our house. She's such a good little guard dog.

This "human being" opened fire on a family BECAUSE OF A TRAFFIC ALTERCATION. He tried to straight-up murder their kids because he had road rage. You don't have to be "evil" to agree that that guy's a monster who deserves to suffer.

I know! And they act like that point is even relevant. It doesn't fucking matter AT ALL if they didn't mean any harm. If the woman makes it clear she's uncomfortable and wants them to stop and then they don't, it becomes aggressive and intimidating, no matter what the initial intentions were. And tbh, enough women…

Absolutely, Houston drivers are assholes. I really try not to honk unless someone's definitely about to hit my car, because people are actually insane and also honking mostly just stresses everyone out. But I'd way rather drive in Houston than Austin. People are slower and more polite (somewhat), but the traffic is…

I mostly know about the Houston thing because my mom is firmly team "never honk at or flip off anyone on the road because this is Texas and they probably have guns" so she made sure to tell me about it. It only came out later that he was a cop.

I live in Austin. Our PD is known for being racist, shooting peoples' dogs, arresting a jaywalker, and the chief saying boneheaded things like "at least they didn't rape her!" when people got upset about them arresting a jaywalker. I'm home for thanksgiving in Houston, where recently a cop (off-duty) cut someone off,…

Well yeah, if that was the hard-and-fast law, it would totally ruin brunch.

Catholic family here, too. We rent a house for a week every summer to get together, and it's about 25 people. Which seems like a shit-ton. Because it is. 60 is unfathomable.

I have a rule against going anywhere but the grocery store and Starbucks on Black Friday. I really don't get it. People die, you guys.

True, but she does have that whole "most beautiful girl in the world" thing, which I find weird. For one thing, it's strange to make such a big deal out of anyone's appearance, especially a child. For another, she kinda just looks like a pretty nine-year-old. Lots of little girls are very pretty (I know! Not even just…
