This is the saddest, darkest comedy I've seen in a while. I mean that sincerely. This is so fucking absurd, but melancholy.

TBH it just looks boring

The most disturbing thing about the news article is that her address is published in the article.

By all means, please divulge to the whole worlds where she lives so that the abortion nuts can go shoot her.

Tell us more about how Muslims want to enslave women, old white men.

There is a whole long history of women not being allowed to do anything without the permission of their husbands. THAT is why this is a deeply…

It’s specifically because he told her to consult her husband that it’s patronizing.

I’m sure she’ll be treated the same as say, a male African American drug dealer with no DEA agent father?

I don’t. It’s an exorbitant amount. He should get something a bit more proportionate to the suffering he has experienced.

Fuck that. This was the best thing that ever happened to this kid, and he was in no way ‘damaged’ to the point of 15 million dollars.

So cranky. So awkward. Crankward.
