Everyone keeps saying this, but I don’t understand. Was there some sort of story going around that Lotche was with prostitutes or buying drugs? It doesn’t make sense to volunteer a story to cover up something bad if no one was accusing him of bad behavior to begin with.

Yes.

Why would the brazilian government even try to pursue this further? Frankly it just makes the country look even worse and petty IMO.

Well, that’s what she stated. The DA’s office is saying that’s not true.

It’s puzzling that so many people are angrier at Hillary than at the man actually accused of rape. And that includes the alleged victim.

It’s puzzling to me how many people are acting like this is new information. Or like Hilary Clinton is somehow more responsible for Bill Clinton’s behavior than Bill Clinton is.

I think Bill Clinton got a lot of sex, before and after marrying Hillary. I think 90% of it was consensual, and when he was younger and stupider and the times were different there’s probably a solid 10% that we would consider today to be date rape or worse. In that way I believe Broaddrick and it seems it has affected…

I have no idea if Broaddrick’s allegations are true or not, but her story is credible enough, and should be treated with sensitivity and seriousness.

I don’t know if Bill Clinton raped her or not, but I do find it odd that she seems to focus so much on ruining Hillary’s career over the issue. Her evidence that Hillary even would have known about the incident is shaky at best - Hillary shook her hand and said thank you, in what was perceived to be a menacing tone?…

What can we say? The intimidation story is the only part of this that accuses the actual Presidential candidate of doing anything, and it is pretty subjective even if true.

Hey Matt-

No. When people say stupid anti-science shit, Gizmodo writes about it.

Gary Johnson said he’d give me a piggyback ride if I published this

That statement is just beyond stupid...

You know when you ask a question to the Aether we now have ways of getting answers, right? It’s called Google:

Even is this were the case, what good does it do to expose innocent people’s private details?

"There are the sorry, blisteringly insecure requests for OkCupid profile critiques, where guys link directly to their profiles and ask what's going wrong. Because nothing's more attractive than a lack of self-confidence so strong it actually bends light."

Totally. Is he going to criticize /r/photography next because aspiring photographers shouldn't be asking for advice on a site that features startling racism?

I personally think that this 'story' is bordering on bullying, and does not belong on a site like Gizmodo. I honestly thought better of the writers here.

This is pretty much the same content that is/was in the OKC forums. I used to see some pretty good profile advice in there, back when I was active on the site. There are ways that are more-right or more-wrong to present yourself, and not everybody gets it right on their own.
