I think people just don’t want to believe Johnny Depp might be an abuser. Who knows. I think in this case, it is easier to believe Amber is a liar. She isn’t that personable by many accounts, and that doesn’t help. But it doesn’t mean she’s lying. I don’t know what the truth is and I’m not concerned, we have a lot…

So I agree that it’s bullshit to have mugshots shown for some people and not for others. But for rape, I kind of wish all of the photos were of the smiling, yearbook type. There’s this perception that rapists are different - not your neighbor or your boyfriend or your brother. But they are. And the more we see that a…

FOIA doesn’t require a lawsuit—it’s a formal but relatively simple request. And some media outlet needs to file one immediately—make the Santa Clara Sheriff’s Department EXPLAIN WHY they think they have grounds not to release what is ostensibly public record in the first place.

Everything he’s saying applies to sex workers who are trafficked, coerced, or forced by desperate circumstances into an industry they don’t really want to be in, but it doesn’t apply to sex workers who are working safely, legally and by choice. To be fair to President Carter, there are more in the first category.…

Yeah you can see him trying, he’s just coming at it from a fairly narrow view. I don’t give him credit for missing the boat, but I do for trying to be on the boat to begin with. His opinions seem to be grounded in sincerity and concern for others, which we could all use a little more of these days. Doesn’t mean he…

I feel as though he’s coming from the right place. And unfortunately sex work is not something that has one easy answer. I fully support anyone who would CHOOSE this profession but the issue is that it is hard to separate those who didn’t from those who do. And keep people safe from being trafficked against their…

I don’t think we should insult people for carefully thought out opinion pieces that slightly differ from our own opinions. This is a complex issue.

I can kind of see where he’s coming from though? It may not be 100% correct, but there are some very sexist notions that get enforced by mainstream sex work.

To be fair, there are a lot of feminists (especially from the previous wave) that would agree with him. So, calling what he is saying ‘awful’ probably isn’t fair. I don’t agree with what he’s saying, but that doesn’t make it awful. Awful is what Republicans do when they open their pieholes and pontificate about sex…

can you tell me what the next powerball numbers will be?? Because I sure as fuck don’t know if anyone knew about her history. The story doesn’t mention it but you seem so positive. If she had only been in the school for two weeks who would know. How many people had cameras? You speak in plurals but the story speaks of…

why do they need to do jail time? If it was consensual and all the boys are under 18. Or do you think all sex by people under 18 is rape?

He’s 16, she’s 15, and by all accounts it was consensual.

If you’re holding it above your head blocking someone’s view you are in fact ruining someone else’s experience. It happens to me all the time.

Believe it or not, the artists who are performing these shows have feelings that often differ from the official policy set by the venue or even their own tour. And since they are the ones providing the entertainment for the evening, they have every right to speak out about it. And, in this case, they are likely saying…

My husband is like your parents. He spends so much time taking pictures or video that he doesn’t actually do things. A lot of times I just leave him to take pictures, and I end up seeing a lot of things that he doesn’t. Too much recording really takes away from the whole experience.

I don’t understand people’s obsession with recording and documenting every single thing that happens in their lives. I am 27 and I have a smartphone that I use entirely too much but when it comes to the camera I prefer experiences over the ‘memory’ (which apparently, people no longer have if it’s not stored in the…

This is the reason I hate traveling my parents because they want every single moment in film whereas I just want to take things in. Spending all that money on a concert to just spend your time watching it on a shitty camera phone baffles the mind. The whole point of going out is because watching music performed live…

This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine and is starting to ruin concerts for me.

Why do people on this website hate so hard on people’s faith? Specifically the Christian faith? Any story that mentions God in the slightest is met with comments about “imaginary friends” or “sky daddies.” So fucking disrespectful. I know there are a ton of shitty “Christians,” but this lady has shown no indication…

This is the paradox of modern parenting. No matter what you do, you’re doing it wrong. I feel like social media isn’t helping in that people are constantly posting about it. Before maybe they just judged and talked shit behind parents backs. Now it’s constantly being debated across the internet. And it is almost…
