to be fair, I just got the email that same day!

You just described 90% of the white people who comment on The Root.

Wait. You don’t associate a bunch of dudes in flannel with Bears? you will now.

I was struggling with what the hell a “jungle ted” was, right up until you actually typed “bear”.

The funny part is that my mind immediately thought “bears?”, and I questioned for a moment both if that was correct and what it referred to.

oh thats ok then.

That’s fucked up, and thank God the world don’t run on what you can see.

Whatever you say, definitely not Paul Ryan.

I’m going to have to disagree with you here. I was in a similar situation when I was 16. A 25-year-old woman took an interest in me, and was clearly maneuvering the relationship to the point where she would have had an opportunity to seduce me had my father not intervened to get her out of my life. At the time I was…

The issue is the differential in power, and the way it is going to warp his perceptions of his relationships to other adults. It is still child molestation, even if he’s 17.

I think it’s jokey comments like these that reinforce those toxic masculinity stereotypes that I tried to touch on. So if it was a 17-year-old girl and a 27-year-old man it would be ok? Suppose she’s horny too? Should her married teacher fuck her?

You hit the nail on the head. Screw Kinja, because here is Ron in a nutshell. He turned down $4,000 for someone to come buy a Porsche 924 that has never run under its current owner, and a 450. This needs to be linked at the top of David’s article, just as a counterpoint and justification for why this dickhead hoarder…

It’s a travesty that with the Kinja commenting system, the latest statements are buried. Because this is the kind of stuff people need to be hearing about. I’m not going to pay you $2,000 for a vehicle that hasn’t run this century, that has rotted in a field when I can buy one from Arizona for $5,000 or less, fly out…

It’s the holiday season. I’m feeling like I should help someone out. I saw a couple of passably interesting cars. So I called Ron yesterday - I was interested in one of his 924s, and maybe a 450SL. But holy shit is this guy unreasonable. He’s asking $2500 for a Porsche that never ran - he never got a key with it - but…

I mean, #MeToo and all, but it has to be said... there is a whooooole lotta reckoning coming for some toxic women in the workplace. Because for every ass pinch or promotion pass-over from a Gross Office Dude, I got at least two hardcore flashbacks of a female supervisor traumatizing me with verbal abuse and body…

People who are dumb enough to take Microtech knives onto a plane are probably dumb enough to buy a Microtech knife right after getting their paycheck without considering things like rent, groceries, and bills will need to come from that same account before the next paycheck or dumb enough to think that a credit card…

I’m so happy for Corey. To me, he’s like the Rose McGowan of the boy set. He kept crying out, and no one was listening.

Bingo. Brazil borders Argentina and we are now forbidden from bringing in dulce de leche. If we go to a store there and buy Havanna brand dulce de leche, it costs $15 a jar. But that is smuggling. So we must go to the airport duty-free shop and get the same brand for $25 a jar. Because of foodborne illnesses, of…

I saw Greta Gerwig do a Q&A at film festival a few weeks ago and someone asked her why she elected to make Lady Bird’s / Saoirse Ronan’s skin look bad when the actor’s skin is so perfect irl and she said it’s because almost all teenagers have acne and they should see teenagers on the screen who have acne, too.

Holy shit.
