Which is fair - but that doesn’t mean we need to encourage someone who just wants to point out that “the mall was shitty way back in the day and I bet its way worse now! LOL!” and who has dismissed anyone trying to call him out.

.... is this REALLY the conversation we are having right now? about the economics of rural malls? are you kidding me?

PREACH.

Hah, I’ve taken that particular bus many times. It’s super convenient! But yeah, I’m having a really hard time with this one. I do with all of them but JFC it could have been my PARENTS. They were in that store in that section JUST before it happened so my mom could buy a pair of pants. Which is probably similar to…

Since the person I responded to dismissed the comment, let me also say this in response to anyone who wants to make jokes or comments about how “shitty” the mall is (keeping in mind PEOPLE DIED WHY THE FUCK DOES YOUR OLD ASS IMPRESSION OF THE MALL MATTER):

Yes! You’ve caught me! Now I’ll have to have Soapsassins sent after you to protect The Conspiracy!

*highfive*

Because I work a desk job and my dermatologist recommended (and my doctor backed me up!) that unless I *need* to shower I can skip a day or two a week! Imagine that!

It was also the only mall a lot of us had relatively easy access to, especially those who lived in very rural parts of the state. It being “shitty” really doesn’t matter here, so stuff it.

My parents were in that Macy’s less than an hour before the shooting started.

I dunno you mention yours get smelly from the humidity - let’s meet in the middle and find someplace that is perfect, the just right for our Goldilocks towel needs.

Starred to bring you out of the greys mostly because Holy Tangent, Batman, and also to commend you for the sheer length and yet coherency of your reply.

Hahaha I actually have good reasons for not washing every day, and if I’ve done more than sit at my office all day I absolutely do! I usually end up in the bath/shower at least 4-5 days a week, so I don’t get gross I promise haha.

Oh man, my sympathies skin-twin. Combination skin - somehow taking two bad skin characteristics and making the sum of them way worse than either one on its own! Hooray!

Isn’t that what lotion and moisturizers are for?

Using a fresh towel/washcloth every time is my dream life, but I live in a drought and washing that many towels would use a lot of water so I just am going to live vicariously through you.

I don’t shower every day, but when I do shower I use a loofah/sponge/washcloth and either soap or shower gel and scrub everywhere, feet and legs included.

Holy shit thats a lot of instructions *takes notes*

This line makes me so happy.

THIS is my #1 problem with this. They’re friends. They’ve worked together. She... is not him? So I'm really not sure why SHE is the one getting interviewed about it. Is she the rapist in the equation? No? Then maybe let's refocus on the PERSON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS ACTIONS.
