This dude is sketchy as fuck. NO ONE lives with their “ex” unless they are super desperate with no family around. He was upfront, which some may see as a plus, however that type of upfront behavior is to warn you, not to inform you. He’s trying to see how willing/gullible you are and figure out how much disrespect you…

I know that area. Thing is this...they need to move. Sure, it’s difficult and undue stress, but Uniontown is not the place where a gay couple with a brown kid should WANT to live. I get that the economy is hard and all that jazz. I do. However, if you want to raise a kid in a culturally diverse area, you need to go to…

Not a fan of either. Just don’t agree with you.

That was the one thing that stood out to me when reading this as well. It seemed like that show was on DAILY at one point.

You sure? At the height of her revamped career courtesy of the reality show she and ex-husband Nick Lachey did, she was extremely popular in the press. She landed new music deals, movie deals and business ventures off that fame. Chicken or fish was literally what launched her from low-rung competition in that whole…

This is a good start especially since an array of mental illnesses start to really manifest and show up during the teen years. Having kids already used to speaking about their mental health and a record of any changes can go a long way to getting people intervention early, if necessary.

I’m glad we all had the same reaction because I too was like “arrested for posting song lyrics???” But, that quickly turned into “oh...well, yeah. That makes sense now,” as I kept reading.

She is a co-founder of the company. It’s not like someone came to her with an idea and asked her to lend her celebrity. If that were the case, they kinda picked wrong because she’s not that popular. Known, yes. But popular enough to be the face of a brand? No.

Right, I was really unclear at the original comment because she is seriously involved in the company as she helped found it.

LMAO, in a sense I could definitely see how this could be shade. However, a child’s head compared to even the largest dick still easily wins out in the “what has the potential to do the most damage” contest.

Listen. Everything you said is legit. No matter what issues you face in life, you have those thoughts of “what could I have done better, differently, more of, less of, etc.” It’s only natural to think of it that way for trauma as well. Just know that in this instance, it was NOT your fault and you did what you needed…

I remember this and it actually seemed very fake at the time. One of those “so over the top it cannot be real” type stories. Reminds me of the movie Pain & Gain where the kidnapped dude went to the police and they basically were like “nope.”

I understand the market. However, the issue is that not all school systems across the country use the exact same books. I know this because I went to 14 different schools as a result of my upbringing with my dad moving all the time. So while the manufacturers and publishers are limited, the selection within each grade…

They don’t.

Dying at “Malcolm from Y&R”. He’s not my type but I see why folks love him.

I am all about a pretty polished dude. Love it.

I never said it wasn’t taught in the schools I went to. I said the textbooks back then were on par wit this BS Texas is doing at current.

NYC is practically the entire state by way of population. I get what you’re saying. But unless someone says they grew up in Rochester or Albany, NY, I assume they meant NYC and that is why I made my comment.

100% Agree

Since it has always been that way for textbook production, that kind of proves my point that the tendency towards glossing over slavery has been going on for years. It’s only been through my parents and then in college that I learned about the real atrocities of slavery. The textbooks have not explored the actual…
