I definitely feel that and it sucks. I’ve had stepparents that definitely (although not to that degree) have treated me with less care and attention than their natural born children, so I know that it’s out there. But the natural parents either ignore it (“that’s not true, I’ve seen how he/she treats you, you’re…

Hold on. Are people really trying to justify that the mother is the only person at fault here? Save your comments and miss me with that ish. You’ll only get embarrassed.

That’s my point. It’s both of them. There are two adults in the room. Both are responsible. No responsible adult would knowingly allow that to happen to a child.

Really? What man would marry a woman and not only ignore her child, but allow her to treat him that way? Maybe where you’re from that acceptable, but how I was raised both adults are responsible for the well being of any child under their roof. Even if they’re visiting.

There has to be more to this. Don’t get me wrong, there’s no excuse for *either* parent to subject a child to this type of abuse (and yes, a stepfather is a parent...they’re married), but there’s a couple things that got my spidey sense tingling:

Good work!

Thanks!

Already spend too much time here as it is and now you’re movin the VSB crew in? That’s what I’m talkin about! I’ve been with Gawker/Gizmodo for years. Keep me out the grays!

I got my Sony XBR-65X930D right before the SuperBowl. (saving about $1K) It’s 4K/HDR, super thin, aesthetically pleasing and wall mounted. I love it. However, I got it (after a 4 month battle with my wife) because my old Sony KDL46XBR (1080p) was 10 years old and becoming smaller and smaller (and thicker and…

1. The Thunder with Durant had already gone to the Finals in ‘12, just 4 years earlier. They never made it back and had the same squad (minus Harden). Would you say their squad was on an upward or downward trajectory?

This. As much effort as Blizz has put into character accuracy (see Rein’s waltz and Widow’s ballerina), it should be obvious that Sombra’s dance is culturally Mexican/Latino. While it may look like the dance from a teenage white girl’s popular YouTube video, thanks for dropping this to illustrate.

In a world where stereotypes affect everything from advertisements to police shootings, why wouldn’t they emphasize the fact that they’ve designed something that has defied them AND is the number 1 game in the world?

Geez, Kaplan is clearly quoted above saying, “Whether we like it or not, we’ve sort of entered the political discussion. “ Like the author said, representing inclusivity is inherently political. It just is. 

That’s how you do it.

Totally read that as ‘teabagged by 13 year old Brazilian hookers...’ Umm...yeah. Back to work.

Also, JetPaw (the obvious name for the confirmed new cat in jetpack hero) should be countered by a new Hanzo laser pointer arrow.

Yep. Bay turkeys just fuck your shit up and don’t care. Kinda like the Raiders.

Warriors fan here. Grew up rooting for our terrible teams and the booing of Lacob is one of our proudest moments. You could argue that night is where he realized that our fans are one of the most passionate bases in sports and that our reaction should be considered in decision making. How dare you try and address…

As someone who frequents almost all the former Gawker sites, I almost NEVER venture over to Jezebel. But I came across this love letter last week and being married only 3 years myself, it absolutely touched me. Hearing this news today made me stop what I was doing at work.
