A different person prosecuted Cosby than the one who said he wouldn’t.

“Except she wasn’t a 13 year old in 1999 where the internet for the youth is AIM chatrooms and Neopets. She was 13/14 in 2015. iPhone 5 came out in 2012! She can claim she was ignorant but I’m not going to buy it when you have a plethora of knowledge at your literal fingertips.”

Oh for sure, but its still a slightly provincial take on a global sport.

Osaka is important and vital and big news, especially for a site like this

I bought this yesterday and I am SO SO keen to start!

I have to get Pfizer (doctor’s advise), which is frustrating because only AZ is currently available for my qualifying age/health group.

Everyone I know is desperate for the vaccine - the frustration is just not being able to get it :( Both my parents (in Melbourne) have had both of their doses - my dad qualified due to a medical condition and my mum talked her way into one, but until literally last week, it was hard to get one because they just…

I’ve been a moderator for a few places, but have only once experienced this kind of weird, petty bullshit once. It seems to really happen where some mods know each other and users more, and pick sides, rather than objectively applying the rules and being transparent with users.

He’d justify it by referring to taxes.

Ross is most definitely the worst.

Joey wouldn’t vote for Trump. No way.

Yeah, Phoebe is definitely, quite clearly, intelligent - she has a very different approach to intelligence (compared to Ross, and it was always a delight watching her cheerfully make him look stupid), but was kind and thoughtful and like you said, brought a much needed shot of (the most absurdist kind of) realism that…

We’ve been offered 2 hours paid leave to get the vaccine, which is great, except it should probably be 2 days because um...side effects.

Yeah, like a serial, rather than a sequel - as an avid mystery fan, I would enjoy that kind of approach a lot more!

I understand they send debt collectors after them, ruin their credit, and depending where you live, the consequences of extreme debt can even result in prison sentences. So, basically, criminalising the poor? It’s insane...

Well, yeah - just, y’know, the technically part is important because nuns who got too far out of line had their power and vows stripped from them. Like, historically, its complex and fraught, I agree, but like, I guess the overall point is, as always, men be menning.

Within the walls of the monastery, an Abbess has absolute authority, but overall is still technically answerable to a Bishop (and particularly ‘troublesome’ orders were dissolved).

It’s infantilising...

Yeah, a ‘public’ apology is even less of an apology when the person its supposedly directed at is blocked by the perpetrator from seeing it, and probably had to read it via secondary sources. Extra extra gross.

Susan Cooper and Phillip Pullman are the two fantasy series I now gift kids/teens instead of Harry Potter.
