Honestly though - if your first reaction after reading a Lifehacker article about drinking involves launching into a YOUR NOT MY DAD YOU CAN’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO treatise, you might wanna examine your life, and start with your alcohol addiction

Guess whose husband purchased this immediately?

90s figure skating was my favorite soap opera

ok I lied SOME welders make 6 figures

Welders make 6 figures

so....don’t get an engagement ring then? sheesh

dwight, log off

I read this headline as EXPLICIT rather than illicit and was like...

Why the fuck would I do that? lol think whatever you want, internet stranger, idgaf if you’re not convinced because you’re too lazy to do your own legwork

Yeah, just like the whispers re: Weinstein that totally turned out to just be unfair rumors, right? FOH

Bullshit. There’s a ton of evidence out there by his OWN HAND (see the myriad of promotional posts he made himself asking children to send in pictures of their feet, FFS)

Dan Schneider needs to be in prison. That’s what I need to feel like this story is “gaining traction” - that law enforcement fucking takes him into custody

From what I can tell from the substantial evidence is that this is EXACTLY what is happening

I’m fairly well convinced these rumors are true and it makes me physically ill

I went down the Dan Schneider rabbit hole the day after the Weinstein story hit. I mean, shit this was enough to send me into a tailspin for DAYS

I guess it all comes down the absence of a “a smoking gun” like the Times had with Weinstein (women willing to go on record plus the legal trail)

Can someone PLEASE tell me why this and the stories of guys like Dan Schneider haven’t gained more traction? Like, yes, women are being raped on casting couches. SO ARE CHILDREN

Alcohol? Maybe.
In Cross’ case it would more likely be “cocaine”

His return to school materially effects the life of his victim. You expanded the discussion to the general shittiness of the area in which they live, an area that encompasses not only the rapist, but lots of other people who have managed to live 16 years on this earth without raping anyone.

I’m sorry, what? Why does he deserve a full ride? I mean, sure, if you’re ready to give a full ride to all high school graduates (I am), but given our current system of higher education, exactly what entitles him to a full scholarship?
