Can I just ask, WHO is lecturing these people on “white privilege”? Who is listening to these people saying “heroin in our communities is killing us” and saying “well you’re white so, you know, privilege”? Those communities are run by REPUBLICANS. No county in WV went for Clinton, NONE. Every single one went to Trump,…

So much fucking this. I have had to practically scream this in the faces of my Libertarian facebook friends. Johnson stuck his tongue out at a reporter during an interview in response to a question and didn’t know what Aleppo is. Stein isn’t sure whether or not vaccines cause autism and believes wifi signals cause…

WHAT?? Are you seriously right now??

I few years ago I went to DC on vacation and ended up at a McDonald’s near closing time. There were about 5 employees visible to me and maybe 10 customers in the restaurant including me and my hubby. We order, we’re waiting for our food, and then all of a sudden a terrible child’s screaming and wailing starts coming…

The fur industry is another nightmare in it’s own right, but I really really hate it when someone calls out another country/culture on some really fucked up shit and people come out of the woodwork to be like “LOL where do you think your meat comes from??” These things are not the same and why the hell can’t I care…

Are cows and pigs boiled alive to make removing the skin easier? Are they skinned alive? The way we treat animals in this country is shitty but we aren’t kidnapping people’s pets and then boiling and skinning them alive to make the meat “taste better.”

I think it was in his book as a harmless plant and we only found out how dangerous it was so many years later, partially due to people studying his journal he left behind and then investigating the stuff he ate. I think experts found it could have been a fungus that grows on seeds/wild potatoes. But also that had he…

When Disney was built gators were endangered and no where near as numerous as they are today. The environment changed and Disney didn't.

You think having minimum wage employees hitting gators with plastic poles is an acceptable policy?

Thanks for your engaging contribution.

That’s not the point is it? The point is, it’s Disney’s park, they invite people from all walks of life into their parks, they are expected to show a reasonable amount of care and concern for the wellbeing of the guests in their park, and they did nothing to keep dangerous wild animals far away from the people in…

Watch the video again. The gator is literally inches from breaching a small wall between that lagoon and the ride/guests. If the employee had not been there to hit it with a stick it would have been right there with the guests on the walkway that you use if the ride were to break down. Say for a gator on the tracks.

Perhaps Gawker can start adding in to these articles that Disney recently built 2000/night bungalows over the water and guests in those bungalows have been feeding the gators there over the last 14 months. As a result, the gators started coming closer to shore, lost their fear of humans, and began to associate humans…

No one is expecting anything more than for them to pay the family the money they are clearly owed for Disney's negligence and the warnings and fences they just finally put up which should have been an obvious thing to put up for your out of state guests.

Did you see the video of the Splash Mountain employee beating one back with a plastic pole as guests are literally feet away, oblivious? How can people still have this flippant attitude when there is video of a gator on a goddamn Disney ride in the middle of the park. I'm a fucking local born and raised and I would…

This. I am so confused.

Just throwing this out there but there are YouTube videos of gators IN the splash mountain ride. One from 2009 shows a Disney employee beating it back into the water with one of those poles you use to pick up trash and radioing it in to someone. A flume full of guests rolls by as it's happening more than once. I…

I went and saw one of the Harry Potter movies (I think Prisoner of Azkaban) and the whole time these teen girls in front of me kept loudly "correcting" the movie. "WHAT - that's not what Harry said in the books!" "Hagrid didn't do that in the books!" "They left out (random stupid thing from the book)!" I finally…
