It really does show something about this guy that he immediately thought of his penis when he read the name of the column.

He will never leave jail. He will be considered for parole in 25 years and promptly rejected. Parole boards in the UK have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the offender doesn’t pose a threat to the public before someone on one life tariff is set free, let alone 22 like this. The 25 years is a quirk of UK law, he…

In a general sense, it’s abhorrent that someone could commit this crime and not automatically get life without parole. But I have a feeling that any parole board 25 years from now would take one look at the crimes and slam the “rejected” stamp on his application so hard it would break the table in half.

How can you be sentenced to 22 life terms and get out in 25? What is that shit? I hope he gets aids in prison.

22 life year sentences but could be out in 25 years.

I don’t think it was in bad taste at all and I lost quite a few family members to the Holocaust. A lot of Jews hear the same rhetoric from Trump that our forebears heard from Hitler and it scares the shit out of us.

You know, my first instinct was to think he was Godwining himself. But then you read things like this:

She opened the door when she claimed the women were willing participants who threw themselves at Cosby. She’s also a business partner and manager, and she probably thought when this started that it would be (once again) swept under the rug. Don’t kid yourself, she’s in it up to her neck.

I truly don’t remember anything about Hillary procuring rape drugs.

It’s a practical matter. If I’m at a restaurant and the waiter asks if we need separate checks the answer is always yes unless someone wants to jump in and take care of the bill. If you happen to front the money for some activity like a sporting event it’s only fair to tell people up front what the cost is. Most…

Exactly. Except for my best friend, if I am going to any other friend’s house (or they are coming over), the both implied and explicitly discussed social contract is, grab a sixer and bring it, and if you don’t drink it all, leave the rest as a thank you for the hospitality.

My mother would ground my adult ass if she thought I was regularly showing up to my friends’ houses empty handed. People need to grow some social skills and BYO unless they explicitly say it’s ok or, as you said, you’re regularly comping each other so it evens out.

I’d suggest a person isn’t your friend — and you aren’t theirs — if you aren’t comfortable just saying, “Shit man, I’m kinda broke right now so I can’t really offer for you to drink $20 worth of beer when you come over,” to each other.

There’s a lot of salty douche-bags down in the grays who hate Venmo for some reason. Those are probably the people who would invoice you for $4 if you came over and had a few of their beers. It’s faster and easier than Paypal when you want to reimburse somebody for a Lyft/Uber ride, or picking up the tab somewhere.

Any other parents here already considering how they’re going to approach the “Listen, child of mine, relationships can be heart-breaking. That doesn’t mean it’s okay to lose your goddamn mind and abuse, stalk or hurt anyone over it.” I’ve already given this considerable thought.

Lately I’ve been thinking that we’re moving faster and faster towards both Oryx and Crake and The Handmaid’s Tale. Margaret Atwood is an oracle

This is always the first quote that pops into my head. I hope like hell that someday it will cease to be true, but I feel like we’re further from that place every day.

“Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.” - Margaret Atwood.
