First, Durant didn't call him a "product of the system," he said he was playing at the level he was due to the system in SA. And that is true. Pop's teams space the floor very, very, very well which is why Kawhi can get open so often on the three point line, find lanes to crash the glass, and cut to the basket for…

I just reviewed her exact thoughts... basically a free market shill. Free markets don't work when the market isn't free, for one, and this one isn't. Free markets are also bogged down when consumers don't fully understand their complex options. How many people sit down and figure out how much their loan actually costs…

I thought the same thing but I can't say how I might clarify that either. Maybe "Federal Financial Aid" would do it?

That is pretty gross.

Apparently it's a serious proposal to the NRA. So in a word, yes, yes it is absurd and terrifying.

I want to rec this but I can't tell if you're serious or a parody

There IS a picture of Terry Richardson with semen on his face floating around somewhere in the ether. It was for one of his first "art" shows. Probably his own, but if you want to see it it's out there.

The entertainment industry is full of predators, sexual sadists, plain old sadists, and power trippers. Decision makers in his industry likely relate to the power trips he goes on in his catalog because they're mostly cut from the same cloth.

Frankly, most of the people Richardson rubs elbows with probably knows a few…

One of the least effective ways, sure. One thing that needs to happen, and soon, is to protect contract workers, nationwide, from sexual harassment. Legally models have little coverage under the law to protect them from hostile work environments.

No it doesn't mean they have a psychological problem or underdeveloped sense of self(which isn't at all unusually for someone that is 19 or 20 btw).

Richardson uses a lot of sociological concepts to manipulate people if you pay attention to the details of the accounts... he appeals to his own authority and name drops…

No, the question is how can we stop predators from trying to take advantage of people not how do we protect women from "making bad decisions." The answer to a problematic situation involving coercion isn't to teach people how to resist coercion but to prevent people from using coercion to manipulate others.

Why is the…

No, I'm saying we should discourage predators wherever possible.

"Won't protect themselves" is garbage. Sorry. Would you say the same thing about some involved in a violent relationship? Whether or not they could've left doesn't mean that they are responsible for being assaulted.

Which is a longer way of saying... you really shouldn't be surprised...

Predators know how to identify and spot individuals that are likely to be susceptible to their predation. Richardson is a practiced predator that has photographed hundreds of models. He doesn't pull his dick out randomly, he's identified some factors that he knows make a given target more likely to stick around and do…

Yeah, that part was silly. That is not tantamount to consent or even close to it.

You're thinking socially. And in a social context you'd be right. However, this is not a social situation and he isn't just asking.

It's a work context and in every story here he just whips it out before making requests. Obviously exposing yourself at work is not kosher and neither is asking for sexual favors. The…

I DID think it was interesting that Peck went to two similar sessions, not one as she claimed but yes this piece was pretty much a whitewash that glossed over many of Terry's accusations, didn't ask him any specifics concerning any of those models, AND, most importantly I think, failed to ask him whether he spelled…

Weird tangent but agreed nonetheless.

He suggested that the couple figure out what works for them.

"At the same time fuck this article who are you to tell any father how he is supposed to label what he is going through the only person who can do that is the mother, and in my experience mothers are ok with it."

And if you really loved him wouldn't you let him spell it out with your pubes and then use them as hair plugs to replace his eyebrows? If it was real love?
