This is true. In my defense, I said moldering. I fully recognize fresh delicious sour cream as being the most important food group, next to wine.

It’s pure hubris for Americans to keep going to countries like North Korea and Iran. They have to know what will happen to them but the attitude seems to be “I’m an American, I can go wherever I like and do whatever I like”. And about the U.S. secretly negotiating with North Korea, I guess we do negotiate with…

It’s gotta be someone the Republicans won’t really hate that is a centrist. So I’m not surprised he chose a white guy. And hey, I’m sure this white guy is miles ahead of Scalia.

Sigh...kind of disappointed that it’s another white male. Would have loved to see a woman, and/or someone non-white.

AGREED, sour cream does not deserve that. #IStandWithSourCream

Agreed. Cruz is more dangerous than Trump in my opinion. It’s both that Cruz believes what he says, but also that he believes God is behind his entire life. He believes God made him a politician. I can’t even imagine that kind of arrogance, but there it is.

There wasn’t even that. Stepping down means he gets to keep his pension, and isn’t exactly a huge sacrifice on his part (mandatory retirement for PA judges is 70).

Right? Was there even an actual punishment aside from discharge or disbarment involved?

The death penalty? That seems a little over the top (his comment). Also he stepped down. I would imagine he could have let it go all the way through court.

Jesus, seriously. He fucking ruined her life. I can’t fathom how a teenaged girl could ever recover from having this done to her. Fuck him. May he never have another peaceful moment in his pathetic life. Fuck him. Fuck. Him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck him. Fuck…

I was like, “Please, please please, be a well-intentioned but ill-advised attempt to teach a valuable lesson about internet safety and privacy . . . Oh Lord, have mercy.”

Having suffered years of sexual abuse from my own father and being too afraid to tell anyone, the fact that this young woman had the strength to tell a trusted adult speaks VOLUMES about her. I wish I could hug her and tell her how brave she is.

.... or when the person didn’t read the fine print before shopping, and give a 1-star review because there was some assembly required & you need your own hammer. Or when they liked the product OK, but give a 1-star review because they think Amazon is corporate evil who shut down their favorite mom-and-pop bookstore.…

Agreed. I’ve seen 5-star reviews that have complaints in them and 1-star reviews where the person loved the product, but it was 2 days late arriving to them or the packaging was busted by the shipper.

This fucking asshole for sure sees himself as a victim. How can this be the world we live in?

I read some of the linked articles and the victim repeatedly referenced being afraid of offending him and of causing a fuss. That resonated with me HARD, and judging by the comments on those articles, I’m not alone.

has violated a condition of his release by failing to comply with his curfew, traveling outside the parameters of his curfew at least eight times

I just ignore the number of stars. The stars are no matter to me, anyway, it matters to the seller. I read the CONTENT of the review, and form my opinion about both product & reviewer there. What’s useful to me is what they’re actually saying.

I don’t trust reviews that mentions the words “an honest review” or “a fair and honest review” since that seems to be a disclaimer paid reviewers have to include. Unfortunately, there are a lot of products on Amazon that have nothing but 5 star fake reviews. I hope these companies will start to realize the practice of…

If this made her feel powerful and helped with her healing, then that’s awesome but I’m troubled by the idea that a dominatrix is inherently powerful (and that male submissives are inherently safe).
