So... these are valid concerns, but... wouldn’t those also apply to the statue of a giant charging bull? Can someone break down why these concerns apply to the smaller and less famous statue, but not the gigantic symbol of the american economic system?

Memory is also not really all that great. It gets muddled. A conversation that may have been more nuanced might be remembered as a conversation about falsely accusing someone who is famous.

The most logical explanation is that she talked or alluded to something related to the sexual assault, maybe made some…

The attorney’s job is to give his client the best defense possible, and for WHATEVER REASON, this is permissible. It shouldn’t be, but here we are.

Our whole system is broken, but I’m not sure how it’s even remotely possible to fix it :( .

I wish I could reply to both replies. Anyway.

I was in a therapeutic/residential school as a teen (I had really bad depression/anxiety) and at one point they hired a 20 year old. I was 17 or 18. Luckily they had the foresight to put her in the “little girls” dorm (there were 3 dorms with 6-7 beds, 2 for ages 14-21 and 1 for ages 8-14), and she was never pulled to…

I was so confused. I wanted to know WTF a Kola bear was and why this animal I had never heard of was native to California. I googled, and google was unhelpful since all it wanted to do was have me look up koala bears.

“Bad neighborhood”. I have NEVER heard of a majority white neighborhood called that, even when every third house was probably a meth house.

I... don’t use emoji hands? Why would someone use emoji hands?

I really miss when emojis were all sideways text smiles unless you wanted to get fancy and copy/paste a (=^ェ^=)

Yeah, but if Ben Carson’s kid was drunk driving and killed four people you’d better bet he’d be in prison for a decade or two.

In other countries who is privileged and who is not often changes dramatically.

Someone has probably stated this, but a lot of states do adoption stipends for children who are hard to adopt. There was (and still sort of is) an issue where foster parents would adopt, but they can’t afford to lose the foster care subsidy. So states started saying if you adopt a kid (usually older kid, or disabled,…

They never said it was- they said it was “pinned at 90 mph”. Probably because she was flooring it, and once she went over the edge the wheels started spinning.

The media interpreted it as they were driving 90 mph. Which unless they started on the road going that speed or faster doesn’t make sense.

Eh, I think at this point she’s just trying to make money in a legitimate way.

He’s going to turn 21.

I never said that. I just said that the on board computer shows the car was stopped and then an acceleration prior to the crash. Which doesn’t match with “they were driving and accidentally went off the road”.

They were able to look at the on board computers and tell that there was an acceleration just prior to the crash.

They adopted sibling groups through foster care. It probably cost them little to nothing to go through the actual adoption process.

When I saw the umbrellas I thought they looked like monks and that makes the question even more confusing. Some joke about “I met a group of monks at a bar, they’d all apparently taken a vow of silence” would be a heck of a lot funnier.

Most countries subsidize childcare so that the workers make a living wage while also allowing the families to afford it.
