I am from the Boulder area and you are correct. Boulder—and its’ surrounding suburbs (where some of the other kids involved in this case live and go to school)—is made up of largely white, upper middle class, lifelong members of the Democratic party.  We call it “the bubble”. 

If I didn’t workout—or become a hangry monster when I go too long without eating—I would eat my entire day’s calories right before bed and then just pass out.

Given the statistics, I chalk it up to pure luck that I’m almost 30 and have never been the victim of sexual abuse, assault, or rape.

I’m not buying this: “I don’t recall that, but it sounds like something I’d do. My bad.” bullshit. He remembers. He did it on purpose. It’s good that he regrets his behavior and seeks accountability now, but don’t believe for a second that he “doesn’t remember”.

I’ve always maintained that some of the most graphic sexual things I’ve ever heard have come out of the mouths of women I know. Talking about sex isn’t the problem. Many men still can’t grasp the idea that it is possible to talk about sex (I’m taking some some straight up dirty shit) without degrading the humanity of…

The thing about Ben Carson is, fuck Ben Carson.

I have one PSL and one peppermint mocha per season. I order a tall because who do I think I am? The queen of England?

I have no sisters, or brothers. I have a mother and father I care for out of duty alone. And yet, I still manage to keep my cold, unfeeling hands to myself.

Listening to Trump talk about women’s bodies makes me wish I could uninvent sex—just turn us all into amorphous, crotchless blobs.

Same. I’m not sure it will destroy them, but it has certainly knocked them down a few pegs.

Obviously allergies and intolerances are something that people need to take into consideration when planning their diet.

Tissue damage to her vaginal wall/hymen were present at the time of her autopsy. This is an established fact. Any professional forensic pathologist who reviewed the report would testify to this in court.

Yes, exactly. The autopsy report cited the asphyxiation and tissue damage of the vaginal wall/hymen. These are facts.

Where’s the lie? This was my whole issue with the CBS special. Professional profilers, investigators and forensic experts (which these people are) know better than to make definitive statements about a case without firsthand experience of the evidence. Sure, they had the records, but not one of them personally…

As a former eating disorder sufferer, I have certainly given bad food/diet advice to friends and family, but never would I inflict my unhealthy, disordered habits on other people—especially children.

My first thought was that it was Juggalos. It’s always Juggalos. All bad things that happen are the responsibility of Juggalos.

You’re right. When it comes to these types of high profile cases, the victim is often quickly forgotten. Although Amanda experienced a terrible injustice, Meredith is the one who lost her life.

My part favorite was when the independent forensic expert quotes Cicero “To err is human, but to persevere in error is the act of a fool.” Ya burnt, Mignini!

...he had quite an active imagination.

You can homemake marshmallows?? Obviously I have no business talking about baking. I just love watching British folks get flustered over pastries.
