I get it. I’d be pissed if someone infinitely more famous than I am used my dead brother’s work as “fair use”. I’d want to get paid!

Your characterization of this as Trudeau “boasting” that he “wanted to beat the shite out of an indigenous person” is an extreme misrepresentation. First, it was a charity boxing match - no one was going to get hurt. Second, he described Brazeau as the perfect foil to the “rich, pretty boy, urban elite” image his…

This is everyone’s favourite Nice Guy PM Trudeau boasting about the fact he deliberately wanted to beat the shite out of an indigenous person.

“My life is over.”

I was just thinking the exact same thing.

Because it’s not just a “furniture store”, for a lot of people. It is a “finally!” moment-they finally have access to better quality items at very affordable prices. It’s not about it just being another store, it’s about access.

IKEA is extremely affordable, and offers decent minimalist design. Usually furniture that cheap is extremely ugly, but IKEA furniture is just plain. When my partner and I had to buy a bed and a coach, the cheapest IKEA pieces were all that we could afford, and they don’t look awful and tacky the way almost anything…

Wait, are you saying that you don’t need something that you already have, and therefore can’t understand the appeal to others who might have a need for said thing?

Yeah, there’s this huge gap in furniture buying—either you buy some particle-board garbage from Walmart that falls apart if you look at it wrong, or you spend so much money at a big-box furniture store that you have to get the purchase financed like you’re buying a used car. IKEA straddles that gap, and they’re one of…

Please give your SIL a high five for me and tell her random internet people support her standing up for her daughter. We’re so conditioned as women to not make a scene when men are inappropriate but that is exactly what needs to happen so they can respect damn boundaries. Seriously, she rocks.

Look, it’s one thing to continue to send your adult grandchildren $5 or give them candy or fawn over them like babies. It’s another to be touching their bodies. This is not like gentle back scratches or pats on the head. This is absolutely about thinking that there’s something inherently funny in humiliating someone.…

“Well, maybe I will never kiss my granddaughter again, how do you like that?!”

The fact that you’re “flummoxed” that some of us are (rightly) concerned that you are conflating sexualization with infantilization is weirding me out.

Lol yeah I’ll bet he’d be devastated...for being called the eff put on being gross.

Slapping asses, grabbing at stomachs bc that’s what he did back in his day? That’s not babysitting. That’s not a pat on the head. At all. It’s also not how anyone should treat a child

Slapping your adult children on the ass and grabbing their bellies is a natural part of aging? My parents are in their 80's, and many of my clients are elderly. None of them touch me inappropriately or say creepy shit to me. They may joke around and call em “Kid” but they keep their hands to themselves

One word: woman.

Um yeah we do. Plasma for one. People are compensated for medical trials. I can knowingly and voluntarily give a kidney, blood, bone marrow, ect. Some women, thankfully, have very easy pregnancies. If they want to rent out their wombs, so be it.

Think about your statement “it’s literal slavery” and then consider why that is not true. I’ll help: money is being exchanged. Whatever your personal opinion on surrogacy are, people will not listen to them if they are laughing at your blatant falsehoods.

Kim very publicly had high risk pregnancies with conditions that could have killed her, but I guess you can blame it on vanity if you feel like being a dick.
