i think insisting that he simply had a dependency due to chronic pain and not an addiction (despite multiple over doses which points to not using meds correctly) is so dangerous and hurtful to the large amount of people with chronic pains and addictions. i think you’d be shocked at the amount of people in rehabs and…

yeah. ive been noticing this a lot surrounding this topic. lots of people with chronic pain going to lengths to say prince was not an addict because he had chronic pain. like the two are mutually exclusive? there are MANY addicts with very real chronic pain and their addictions stemmed from the chronic pain issue.…

he had two ODs in a week. that is more than a dependence. that is someone not responsibly taking his medications, like an addict would. people simply dependent on painkillers for chronic illness do not have multiple ODs days apart

No, homegirl just literally went as Jessica…

Hello there, Mr. The Rock. Come get your candy.

Yes, my mistake, what if four people deserved to be shot, of course

No, it`s because he`s a dude who can`t stand the thought of young women refusing to acknowledge his existence and being so self absorbed. How are those young and beautiful women supposed to dedicate their lives to supporting, taking care and worshiping men and children if they display this kind of outrageous…

So? Does it warrant being mocked?

They were participating in a promotion that involved taking selfies put on by the stadium. It had just been announced right before this clip.

#richwhiteprivilege. Frats exist because they protect rich white men from having to follow the same rules as everybody else.

“You changed it to Latrine?”
