Yeah I agree! It’s really important to be kind to your partner about this stuff. His possible erectile dysfunction isn’t her fault but that doesn’t mean it’s his fault! It’s nobody’s FAULT.

Oh god, if I have kids I will too! I do think the internet can make some stuff a lot worse—like bullying and harassment. I guess I just was thinking that I don’t like the idea of the internet taking all the blame because I think it’s likely that if the internet hadn’t given them this idea, they would have thought of…

I mean, kids did this shit before social media too—the sociopathic ones will find a way to hurt someone. Twelve year olds know that boiling water causes painful burns. They know this.

Keeping your job is not a handout, fyi.

I am so tempted to so it every time I get in a car. I think being short might have something to do with it? Instead these days I usually sit cross legged. Idk, maybe that’s bad too but I have a condition where my feet swell if I sit upright too long and it’s really uncomfortable. Leaning back doesn’t help but putting…

Yeah that’s definitely a man.

NOOOOOOOOOO OH MY GOD.

That makes more sense to me than the idea of needing this for my own city. Thanks!

Ok, I can see that. Thanks!

It’s not too big for me to forget where I go and what I like, though. Also you’re probs including northern Virginia and southern Maryland in that, right? And I mainly stick to DC itself. I guess I just meant that I know NYC is bigger and maybe it’s more necessary there. I go out to a fairly wide variety of places…

I guess I just tend to remember the restaurants and bars I like. It probably depends a lot on where you live and how often you go out to eat (I don’t go out a ton). And I’m in DC which I feel like maybe isn’t big enough to require an app like this.

It doesn’t actually matter who is “right” in a situation like this, but if defending racism is so important to you, then ok then.

It’s because most police officers overestimate the amount of the time that women are lying. Juries too, but police officers who choose not to pursue the case make a big difference. I actually do know quite a bit about it. *shrug*

“I’m here to keep a journal of where I’ve been, which I end up consulting several times a week”

?

People already say that, that’s my point. It reinforces an idea that already exists. Especially with rape, where there is this hugely prevalent idea that women commonly lie about it when in fact unfounded claims are very rare. The problem is actually on the other side, in that most abuse goes unchecked. Most cases don’…

The idea that women lie specifically about rape and abuse is super common though! It is troubling to me for that reason.

Michelle Carter didn’t accuse anyone of rape or abuse though to my knowledge so that’s not really relevant here, is it? Obviously she is a monster and a sociopath.

Uh, I don’t think there are teens today who don’t get that having a mental illness revealed in a courtroom is going to hurt your credibility. That’s just common sense.

I don’t think anyone should try to make a game about this topic unless they have done a ton a research and thought about it, or preferably if they have personal knowledge about it—from working in the justice system, from being abused, from witnessing abuse, etc. This random teenager doesn’t seem to know anything about…
