There is a call from the camp organizers to veterans, police officers, firefighters and first responders to make their way to the camp and to lock arms on the front lines when the camp is forcefully evicted on the 5th. The call also asks for the veterans/police/firefighters/first responders to wear their service…

Thanks, September 11th Panic! The terrorists won, and they only had to do a couple of things, over 15 years ago now.

This is not going to be looked at kindly in the history books.

Lol, there is a difference between erratic behavior that pops up in cycles and assholery that has continued on down the years. My abusive ex is bipolar- his illness didn’t make him abusive, but it sure was a handy excuse! I have my own situation as well & my mental illness wasn’t why I stayed.

Well as someone who is dealing with severe depression I don’t find it very comforting to see this attitude perpetuated. It’s not fair to me and others who suffer enough stigma as it is. The enabling and coddling is what has gotten him here in the first place.

Having a mental illness does not preclude you from being responsible for a lot of your actions. To excuse everything he has done or said under the umbrella of mental illness is dangerous. Just because he has mental illness does not mean we have to now treat him as if he is flawless and everything he says or does is…

I’m so happy I found a community of people who hate Dr. Phil as much as I do.

It’s not mental instability, it’s the fact that the nature of sex offenders is that they re offend; it’s a compulsion with a lot of them, so the idea of saying “they’ve done their time that’s it” is naive and makes it clear that you don’t understand sex crimes.

Calling her a mom is a way to illicit more sympathy and leniency. You will notice the very same thing in cancer survivor stories, like being a mom makes them more worthy of getting good treatment than a childfree woman. It’s pretty gross.

Unless you can prove that Manning is being treated any different than anyone else who committed the same crimes and who is repeatedly attempting suicide, being put in solitary for that is a non-story.

I read a news article on this last night, in which the sheriff? Deputy? Chief? repeatedly brought up God. I was seriously grossed out when he said something like “see how great god is, he answered our prayers for closure” regarding the decades-old murders. The separation of church and state in this area must be just…

Sugar for me, I have the most completely odorless flatulence on earth but it inevitably sounds like somebody pressed a Vaseline coated basketball into a tuba that was being played by an enormous genetically enhanced elephant.

The cutting table folks at Joanns are clearly forced to ask what are you making. Part of my work involves sewing cosplay costumes for kittens. It gets awkward.

I get home at 7.
It takes half about 30-45 minutes to prep, cook and plate.
It takes about 30-45 minutes to eat. Maybe an hour if we’re watching TV.
It takes 30 minutes to do the dishes.
So I’m done at 9 and need to start getting ready for bed at 10.

This scheme suggests one positive outcome, that the person cooking will be motivated to contain the cooking mess, suggests without merit that the partner will do some rando assigned task, and most importantly ignores equally bad outcomes.

Yeah, this just reeks of “Why should I have to clean up when you made all the mess?”

Yes.

Yep, and it’s all bananas.

I am really worried about how mad I am at her family. They knew about the bullying, and apparently didn’t do much of anything about it.

Yea, part of being a responsible gun owner is making sure nobody else has access to it. It’s basically rule #1. They fucked up.
