So they have a brand that plays the role of a young white girl making fun of herself, but is actually controlled by a group of men. There’s something really gross about that, to me, and the disappearance of the female founder does not help.

We sent our (white) kid to public school while most of our friends sent theirs to private for the very reason that we wanted our kid to see all kinds of people, not just privileged white kids. We don’t live in the US, but we live in a very economically (and to a lesser extent, racially) segregated region of a foreign…

hey white guys:

Jesus you use a lot of commas.

They weren’t random peasants... People need to stop saying that. The priest was a former Frey or Lannister bannerman who killed children (it was in his emotional backstory he told us) and was trying to make up for that. The peasants could also have had similar sordid backgrounds. This is Game of Thrones, saying you’re…

Correction: I don’t “need” to do anything that you tell me to do.

The only thing I find really disagreeable about this business is how its advertising uses words and imagery associated with children. That makes me a bit uncomfortable as this fetish is sexual for a lot of people.

I hear you, but then I had one with slimy meat and was put off for good.

Persky made a controversial evidentiary ruling which allowed the jury to view seven photographs of the alleged victim “partying about a year or so after the alleged gang rape. In the photos, she is scantily clad, wearing a garter belt and what appear to be fishnet stockings.”

Oh, so victims are never allowed to party or wear fishnet stockings for the rest of their lives. Makes sense.

“the girl”

Just FYI, all these “I’m not a misogynist for hating this movie!!” really come across like the “it’s about ethics in gaming journalism” bullshit. Maybe best to just wait until it comes out and see? The pretzels you people are twisting yourselves into in order to be critical of a movie that hasn’t even been released…

I’ve seen friendships ruined over this, particularly in regards to weddings. The bride or maid of honor are well off, so that means a Vegas bachellorette party, weekend spa for a shower, $300 shoes for bridesmaids. It can run in the thousands. This is planned without any regards to their friend’s finances. In fact,…

You are right and it’s awful. From what I’ve seen in the comment sections of some other sites, this is mostly seen as a ‘women’s issue’ and ‘pregnant/thinking-about-getting-pregnant women shouldn’t go but why should anyone else worry?’

Better still, there is no treatment for the Zika virus and it is transmissible by all forms of sex and it takes 6 months for your body to clear the virus. So, come for the shit-filled beaches, enjoy the 6 months of chastity when you go home as a lovely parting gift.

Nothing “works” to keep someone sober. You work to be sober. There are tools that help. You know what doesn’t “work”? Not trying.

This seems like a terrible idea.
