From Years Past: Battle of the Baby Princes!

Are you going to do one of these for pets?

Thanks for asking this. You beat me to it! 

I hate that someone has to be personally affected to take COVID seriously

I’m not familiar with Parker or The Wanted, but my dad died from a glioblastoma. They are in for some terrible times. I wish him and his wife strength and comfort. 

That’s nice that that’s what you would do, but she is entitled to do whatever the hell she wants. I remember how horrible it was when my wife miscarried our twins back in March, we kept the ultrasound photos and eventually posted them on Facebook. This child was real and loved to them and their family. Jack shouldn’t

I am a long time (10+ years) reader and first time commenter.

Cultural expectations around sharing online are still evolving. The hate on Teigen is from people who are uncomfortable with the direction its moving and not self aware enough to realize the issue lies with them and not the media or the participants.

Maybe the part of the problem with American culture is that we are constantly asking the victims of bad behavior to change their behavior instead of the perpetrators. I have truly never experienced a culture like this and I am a child of immigrants and lived lots of places.

Yeah...no. Where it’s coming from is from people being assholes, full stop. If people’s “buttons are pushed” by “internet celebrities” or whatever you want to call them, it’s pretty easy to avoid. Just don’t follow them. Yeah, you’ll see some posts, but again, easy solution: Don’t click on them. And even if you do

I think there’s a good chance they only made $5,000 because 30 million people have lost their jobs and health insurance and probably don’t have any money to spare right now. 

Also, between the pandemic and the BLM protests, I’ve maxed out my charity contributions for the year already and I imagine I’m not the only one. Not to mention the people who’s livelihoods have been affected to the extent that it’s not possible for them to give. Disaster/charity fatigue is a thing and we are six

Snarking on folks raising money for a children’s charity is...an interesting choice for the tone of an article.

I’m all for snark but come on, every single article I’ve seen on here lately is just shitting on people. The cast of Pitch Perfect (a movie I enjoyed, please don’t come for me) raised $5,000 for singing for a few minutes. They are literally (probably) at home doing nothing and they managed to raise $5,000. If I could

The erasing history argument is so transparently disingenuous. These colonialist statues went up on land owned by other peoples, effectively erasing their histories at the time. Thinking history begins when white people show up is peak caucasity
