Oh gawd is he creepy.

“Look at me! I don’t do tokenism! Everyone I cast is either white or Samuel L Jackson! Eat that, PC police!”

It’s like when you’re a kid and you’re sitting at a red light. You’re all, “it’ll turn green... right... now! Or... now! Right now! The light shall turn green right at this very... moment!” and eventually you get it right which means you have psychic powers and can cause lights to change colors at will.

But once you knew it you just needed to know more, amiright?

Tom Cruise has three children.

Only in certain states. I don’t believe there is any federal prohibition on voting- and she was charged federally.

My 10 and 11 year old brothers would be serving multiple life sentences for just the shit they do to each *other*.

Her hands would be the dangerous instrument if you follow that logic- but they’d have to prove that tipping over the stroller was actually dangerous AFTER they proved that she was actually trying to tip it and that is probably difficult.

I’m not sure it means *anything* outside of the fact she’s batshit, but my best guess would be that the Ark was sort of the one thing God saved, so she probably feels like God is about to destroy everything but save the US if we elect Trump.

Yep, my experience is most private school teachers will be worse, in part because many if not most don’t even have a teaching certificate. In the south there’s a good chance they’d use corporal punishment.

Apparently Mother Teresa was fairly horrible (exploiting people’s suffering for her own gain- literally denying them access to treatment). So she may have been right...

I was only 11 when she died, but I remember being amazed at this, specifically how the tabloid covers took such an about face. I think it was the first time I realized how the truth is spun to sell things.

I don’t think at the speeds they were traveling at, and with the occupants being unrestrained, that would have saved them. But really, while the paparazzi instigated the crash, there was and is plenty of responsibility to go around.

Ankle monitors are meant for low level offenders or people who have served most of their sentence and are being reintergrated into the community. They are meant to ensure compliance, not to actually restrain the person from causing harm. We have prisons, jails, and secure psychiatric facilities to prevent the latter.

He…

It depends on the franchise. Some are hell holes, others aren’t. Only something like 10% of McDonalds are company owned.

So I got a new job working with developmentally disabled people in community integrated living (group homes and apartments). At hiring I was told I would primarily be at one house, but could also be pulled to a sister house as needed. I was also told I would, very occasionally, be floated to other houses and could do…

It’s not something I usually discuss further because I get all ragey, but basically they either thing the suicide would happen either way (which isn’t reflected by the data) or that suicide is a “right".

A lot of people I know think suicide shouldn’t be included in gun death statistics. Frankly, suicide is the primary reason I will never own a gun.

A pool or trampoline means no playdate/sleep over here, unless I know it’s secured (fenced) and won’t be used.

We have other studies that relate to effectiveness of suicide methods and chances that a person will make a second attempt. Those studies strongly suggest that many lives would be saved if guns were not available to suicidal people (and most people have suicidal thoughts at some point in their lives, so we’re really…
