They have that. It’s called redtube. Whole different can of beans.

this is making you see youtube red, i think.

Okay I’ve got to jump in here as someone who is very familiar with the prison system since I’m seeing a lot of ‘prisoners deserve this kind of treatment talk’. There are some people who have real reasons to be in prison, for sure. People who committed violent crimes, and need to pay their time to society. But the

I can pretty much guarantee that the state of Alabama treats its prison guards not a whole lot better than the people that they oversee. (The last verb was not chosen by accident.) We’re talking about a state with an extremely regressive tax structure--which usually means low fiscal ability, since the poor have a lot

It’s a tough sell to dehumanize people in prison and expect them to reintegrate into society as highly functional humans later. Let’s recognize that many criminals who commit seemingly “inhuman” crimes have often been degraded and mistreated in ways we couldn’t imagine. Lots of people congratulate themselves for

That’s a very shortsighted view. Most prisoners are eventually released and it would be infinitely better to have rehabilitated ex-cons rather than career criminals in our midst.

You know, I used to be a fucking moron and believe that prison inmates deserved what they got. I was, like, 12 at the time.

being pulled over and being handled ice cream would ruin my day. wtf am i supposed to do with ice cream in a car? it would get everywhere. not fun at all

How fucked up does a prison have to be in Alabama that the guards give a shit about the inmates?

And possibly a pause for Chip to eat something disgusting or otherwise embarrass Joanna in front of the buyer.

Chip and Joanna could have it looking like new in 42 minutes, you’d just have to deal with a lot of shiplap and “distressed” furniture

I like how nobody’s really concerned about the dead body in your Hoarders story and is focused almost exclusively on the dildos. Begrudging props to the commentariat, fellow weirdos!

I missed a murder about two years ago by one block. Instead of turning left and walking the way I always did (and I mean I had never not walked that way) I walked straight ahead because I decided to get an iced tea. Had I turned left I would have been at the murder spot when the murder happened. The murder was a

*net hugs*

My aunt was as well, this is terrifying.

That’s insane. All my love to you and your family.

I know the feel. I saw a movie at the Aurora theater the afternoon before the shooting. Even years later, I still sometimes get a chill thinking that me and my wife could have easily died, but for my inability to stay up past 8pm. We *always* sit in the front row, for the nice footrest railing.

This is close to home for me. Some friends were there seeing a movie and were evacuated safely. Feeling guilty about being overjoyed that my son and his friends changed their plans for this evening and weren’t there. Can we please have some fucking sensible gun law reforms now?
