My friend’s ex beat the shit out of her for a year and a half. He pled guilty to all charges.

Yeah. I’ve been living at home with my parents and have a GP, psychiatrist, and therapist who’ve been helping me through the process.

I don’t know what’s the worse out of these two horrendous things. The abuse of a minor while in a position of power over them or the fact she’s now using the same language of denial and claims of persecution that all the abusers up to now have used to try and get away with, when she knows what it’s like to be on the…

She’s absolutely disgusting and no different from any man who’s been accused of the same. There was a clear power imbalance and she took full advantage. There’s also something to be said about a person who would inculpate a deceased person (Bourdain) who cannot defend himself. She’s trash and I hope she faces charges.

I feel this. I’m at a shaky point with everything.  I just want to get on with my life and wish that food wouldn’t be so central to the human experience. It made me suicidal during the holidays because I couldn’t participate at all and was left me so isolated and hollow.

Who is calling him a hero?

“latina woman with breast implants” had come on to him

Counterpoint, these are delicious

Human garbage.  

Thoughts and prayers.

Honestly, the “only people of unimpeachable moral character are allowed to have any function in public spheres” thing reminds me a lot of how I used to think when I was, oh, twenty or so.

It’s really easy to look at the world as containing only “right” and “wrong” when you’ve never had to weigh ethically difficult…

I mean this is the only legitimate take to me. I don’t like the guy, but I don’t need to like the guy. To be honest, I don’t really care about the guy. I just want to see how this all plays out, and in that capacity Lanny Davis has my full support. We have a bad habit in this day and age of jumping to whatever the…

Yep, it’s just like the trans-bathroom narrative thing— “women and girls are being sexually assaulted!” is the reason they’re giving, but they don’t give one single flying fuck about rape/sexual assault either. Unless it can be used for their purposes.

After losing his battle to be “normal” and failing to win a prize for best kept suburban yard, he just kinda snapped. He picked up a serious painkiller addiction and just kinda sat there watching TV for months. One day he accidentally put on American Football instead of the Premier League, and was so stoned he…

Given what I know about Claude-Pierre, I doubt she’d release them, and if she did release them, I doubt they’d be accurate.

“I also have not seen any evidence from any news room that the ignore POC womens’ murder because they do not care about POC women. Any evidence either way will be appreciated.”

The right doesn’t give a single flying fuck about the actual woman who got killed. They only care about her inasmuch as they can use her as a pawn.

“Republican woman wishes President would stop saying the quiet part loud”

Truthfully, this type of center is really common in the substance addiction residential rehab world. You know, more cult than rehab center. The biggest hurdle my mother had getting sober was finding a facility that treated her alcoholism as a medical problem, not a pseudo-science pyramid scheme run by indoctrinated…

It’s actually not that uncommon for latent racism to show up when people can’t control themselves anymore. He needs to go.
