Oh god, did she fall head-first? Do we know if she’s ok? And he makes her lie there with her dress pulled up to her waist. This is sickening.

That’s regression to the mean: they just got better anyway, and attributed it to the product they were taking at the time.

Agree with almost everything the replies are saying with one exception. Natural health products can and do sometimes work (and they can hurt you). Because they have actual ingredients in them, like plant extracts or whatever. But: homeopathic remedies have nothing in them. Literally nothing. It’s impossible that they…

It’s funny, but my (eventual) response has been to turn into a shrieking harpy of protectiveness. Like:

Right: I’m reading “a demonstrated history of working with law enforcement” as “you had a job.” Talk about damning with faint praise.

This asshole is the duck asking for grapes at the lemonade stand.

Cause célèbre. :)

I’ve noticed athletes are often called cocky or arrogant, for like, celebrating after wins, or failing to be “modest enough.” Seriously, there are people out there who equate PK Subban with Sean Avery.

I like how much thought went into this. Side note: does anyone else crack up at GSP’s accent in Winter Soldier? Like, why does this “Algerian” character sound like every guy I went to high school with?

In addition to the issue of all citizens having the right to vote, black people are inappropriately arrested and convicted by the justice system, at a higher rate than white people. If I follow this thought-thread, I end up here: black people are inappropriately disenfranchised of their voting rights at a higher rate.…

“Quit whining.”

This quote: “Make no mistake: Many men—straight, bisexual and gay alike—like having their asses eaten. I’m exhausted by the show we put on to make it appear otherwise for fear of what that could mean for our performative masculinity.”

Closer to Rimmy. (I’m Franco-Ontarian. In France it’s a teenie bit closer to Remmy than Rimmy.)

I think it’s the beard? My exact reaction: yum/WTF?

Focusing on your women’s hockey comment. Is it hard to generate animus against the single significant rival (that would be the Canadians, my countrywomen)? Pretty sure I’ve seen my girls be criticized for super-petty stuff, e.g., public post-victory beer-drinking, which to me indicates some emotional investment among…

I did too when reading it. It’s the only book of his that’s made me do that.

Oh I’m sorry about the no babies. It is really tough. Hugs.

That poor kid... dear god, I hate these stories. This mom deserves a GD medal. The headline makes it sound like Mr. Fuckface was just passively stabbed, but the story provides details that suggest he attacked them (lacerations, etc.)... So, am I getting this right? Not only did he rape the little girl, but he also…

Is this a real actual quote? “I ask myself what Hitler would do if he’d been born in 1984 in America and was dealing with this situation we are currently dealing with and also really liked 4chan and Anime.”

I’m 42. My mother still reminds me to wear gloves when it’s cold. Awhile back, I went out jogging after dark, and she told me to watch out for pedophiles. <3
