As I responded to another commenter, I don’t presume to speak for anyone else- my personal views are consistent, and I’m not a fan of Tilda Swinton for that very reason.

Oh my god, sorry I wasn’t up at midnight giving you citations! What is your problem? It would apply under 212(h) or (i), it’s in the fucking statute book.

Um, it's a legitimate waiver under the INA, feel free to look it up!

He could get a hardship waiver, I think. Hardship waivers aren’t for the one getting deported, it’s from the perspective of their family; he has young kids and a US citizen wife, and a good attorney should be able to prove that depriving his family of his support would be an undue burden, and that moving them all to…

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying, but my personal position is ideologically consistent - I don’t reserve my distaste for Portman alone. Plus, it honestly feels kind of *weird* to make this about sexism when we’re talking about rape apologism. Yeah, it’s shitty that men don’t get called out as much for their…

Well yeah, but there’s a reason they bite to begin with, right? They’re not so good at discerning by sight, which is why I drew the comparison.

Meh, gators don’t know the difference. Prey is prey. That’s why feeding sharks is dangerous too.

I could never abide the fact that she supports Roman Polanski (like so many other people in Hollywood). And she wrote some Op-Ed a few years ago which compared eating meat with rape, which kind of sealed it for me. She’s talented, but ignorant.

I don’t know, I feel like that moral calculus has a pretty clear answer. And separating his legacy from his culpability here - what does that really mean? People talk a lot about that generally - separating the art from the artist, that sort of thing - but to me the end result is just “I’m going to keep enjoying the…

Honestly never thought I’d be accused of benevolent sexism for essentially saying “maybe we should all lay off the incest jokes.” And make no mistake, this is usually brought up as a snarky jab. I rarely see it expressed as a“concern,” or anything approaching that.

I think it’s disturbing how everyone insists on reminding Ivanka that her father has been, at best, inappropriate towards her and lacking in boundaries. I get that it’s already out there, but people almost seem gleeful in writing about his comments towards her. Whenever I mention this people insist she deserves…

That’s a weird assertion to make, unless you’re completely unfamiliar with the aesthetics of like, any anime. Anime is highly stylized and the characters often look “white” to Western audiences. It’s still decidedly japanese. Sailor Moon isn’t about a bunch of white girls.

“One,” being a person with BPD? Run from them? What a horrible, callous thing to write. I know multiple people with BPD and nothing about this story sounds like the symptoms. There’s no reason to propagate these kinds of stereotypes and stigmas about a whole subset of mentally ill people. People with BPD are not…

I don’t groom at all but I had surgery last winter and needed a lymph node removed; I knew it would be by the groin but I didn’t realize till I got home that they had shaved my ENTIRE bush off lol!!! I was equal parts scandalized and amused. It took months to recover my former glory.

In 2012 I had half a dozen UTIs, it honestly made me start to feel insane. And the antibiotics left me open to a horrible yeast infection. I started taking Cystex pills whenever I had UTI discomfort, and it really helped. 2013 I only had one, UTI, and I think that was my last! I haven’t bought cystex in at least a…

I should’ve been clearer; student workers can go watch autopsies for the hell of it, basically. Doesn’t matter if you’re with white collar or homocides, it’s more or less a “perk” of clerking. It's not because you're working a case. I just thought that contradicted your statement.

That’s understandable. I'm all for a world where stalkers get deadly retribution.

By “anyone in the house” do you mean her husband? Because I certainly don’t think it’s fair to put that on her two daughters, who it’s probably fair to assume were scared shitless of her.

Lots of women in abusive relationships have children at home, though. I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying, but between that and the fact that abusers can often take away whatever weapon you have and use it against you - I just don’t think more guns can ever truly be the answer to violence, gender based or…

Coroners offices do give tours, though. Clerks at the DAs office can go and watch autopsies. Hell, the LA Coroners has a gift shop.
