“Riders of Brohan” has always been my go-to.

I am lost as to how you think that emotional abuse and possible sexual coercion = one person’s interpretation of a bad relationship. Last time I checked, it can be a bad relationship AND ALSO BE ILLEGAL.

Also, you forgot the career blacklisting. Which is something she could absolutely sue for damages for.

She has voicemails, texts, and recorded phone calls and has showed them to other people. There is proof.

$100k seems verrrry low. I would wager it is closer to $250k - $500k PER DAY.

I think what she meant was that if we remove the negative effects of the patriarchy, capitalism will still disadvantage women.

Ah, yeah, I don’t have a horse in this race (apart from wanting to support Dysktra), so I’ll take your word for it.

And plenty of people make really good money doing things they love. Like cosplaying, making and selling props, etc. I’m curious what your definition of a “real job” is - does it have to pay the bills AND make an anonymous internet commenter mildly impressed?

Matt Mira made a statement in support of Dykstra. Ray has been pretty silent, as far as I can tell.

Yeah, let’s excuse abusive behavior and the pain it causes because “addiction makes assholes of us all.”

I thought most recovery processes include a part where you take responsibility for the fucked up shit you did to people while you were high/drunk?

Regardless, it’s not an excuse. Especially if he never apologized…

Kimberly Guilfoyle is absolutely fascinating. I spiraled down an Internet-search hole last year, and remembered thinking at the time that her dating/marriage history is one of the weirdest things - and that was before Don Jr.

If you don’t already know, she is the ex-wife of current California Gubernatorial hopeful…

Autism is not an auto-immune disease...

Uhhhhh because of the people who cannot be vaccinated due to medically compromised immune systems?

Also, I hear you can catch stupid.

I mean... not really. Since the average age of mothers in America is also on the rise, as is large-scale agricultural farming that utilizes pesticides, etc. This is a complex issue.

I wonder if it’s something like what happened with the Somali community in Minnesota, where the religious leaders there started spreading the anti-vax rumors through the community and scared the shit out of everyone...

“There’s a big difference between ALL anti-vax and MOSTLY anti-vax! It just so happens that our friend here is only MOSTLY anti-vax!”

From what I comprehended from VW’s comment, the decision was purely fear-based (and that the nurse sounds like she didn’t really have a great bedside manner).

Paying more out of a foundation than you put in in a given year is not necessarily an issue. If the Foundation has a ledger value of $100M, and $18M was deposited last year, they still could easily pay out $19M from the total ($118M - $19M = $99M). That’s a pretty big chunk of the foundation, but not totally unheard…

I appreciate the clarification and think that your personal feelings are valid.

I personally have no problem with cops/military service members coming to Pride out of uniform, but again, the issue is with displays of state power (which a uniform undeniably is) at an event where state power is often used to oppress the…

Sure! I’ve been told by a GP that it’s not great for you, and a cursory search brought up this article:

Your understanding of civil rights is a bit white-washed if you think that almost every major civil rights figure has advocated for unity. Malcom X, Martin Luther King and Nelson Mandela advocated civil disobedience and condemned cops regularly. Malcom X and the Black Panthers had very little interest in unity at the…
