I was sexually abused as a child. I lied about it even to sympathetic seeming people as a knee jerk and self preservation reaction. Even when I could admit some of the abuse, I would lie, deny, and hide the rest. Because people act different, look different, treat you different when you disclose. It makes you feel…

There certainly are adults who have an emotional connection with children, sometimes more so than they do with adults. Mr. Rodgers was definitely someone who connected emotionally with children, probably in part as a way of healing his own inner child. But like, he didn’t shower kids with gifts, he didn’t pick out…

Don’t you think that this sentiment is belittling to others who follow pop culture and hip hop/rap culture? There tends to be a crowd here that seems to be proud to not know certain things because they’re “old” but honestly it just seems ignorant. If you were interested in understanding parts of the article you…

Those are the comedians who punctuate every low hanging fruit joke with the c word or the n word as a means to be edgy. It’s all a thrill to teens who want to be rebellious, but those kids either grow out of it and have decent lives, or grow further into it and become Richard Spencer types.

I thought this very same thing. If a comedian’s whole persona is based upon being an asshole and trying to shock it always strikes me as showing a severe lack of creativity. Anyone can be an asshole who doesn’t give a shit about anything. It’s easy. It’s aiming at the lowest hanging fruit on the tree all the time.…

The drug is measured in micrograms. I have seen 50-75, up to 300 mcg per hour via IV for post stroke brain storming. Have pushed 50 lotsa times. 3mg = 3000 mcg which would def kill a man and his brothers and dog, too.

Because the margins are too slim and fentanyl is hella lethal. Some drugs should only be administered by trained doctors in hospitals. Also, if someone takes an addictive drug to get high, how likely do you think it is they’ll only take the recommended dose and stop there?

Because the error margin in a lot of scales is enough to kill you.

Yep. Lived in BedStuy before the complete gentrification take over and never had a problem. I took my cues from the neighborhood and assimilated to the people who lived and grew up there. Loved everything about it. Then of course more white people moved in and with it came the police and with that meant no more…

There is a legit difference between someone who is harassing you and being annoyed by the things someone is doing.  The creepy dude harassing you is exponentially worse than being annoyed by the ice cream truck.

I’m a gentrifier, even though I’m not white. I generally mind my own business, but I really don’t know what to do when someone in the neighborhood starts messing with me. I moved to the neighborhood to be closer to the DC government office I work for, but there’s a homeless dude who likes to scream racial epithets and…

Yes, please don’t live in a city if you’re super attached to pristine quiet and lots of personal space.

Be nice to your neighbors, stay out of their business, don’t call the cops on bullshit.  If white people just did this, we would all be better neighbors. 

Good. Let’s hope something actually comes of this, and this sick bastard gets his. He’s a serial abuser/rapist of women and underage girls, he’s made a lifestyle of it, and I guarantee that there’s something still within the statute of limitations which they can get him on, because he’s made a lifestyle of it. He…

Welfare checks made by police that year did not lead to charges, and all of the women currently living with Kelly are reportedly of legal age (the age of consent in Georgia is 16.)

Not that I’m the grand czar of “How to properly deal with things” but I’d give him a pass for the band and the pornos because you aren’t hurting anyone by doing bad music or bad porn. But the further domestic abuse arrests imply that he’s not really dealing with any of his demons.

Well, it’s ABOUT TIME. They had how many years to investigate....?

What I love is seeing what they’ve done since the trial.

Lorena changed her name to her maiden name so she couldn’t be easily found. She had a daughter and has been with the same man for years and years maintaining a very low profile.

My dad and I went to NY about 10 or so years ago. We specifically went to Harlem and stayed in a hostel to save money. Telling people we were visiting NYC and staying in Harlem you would have though we were going to Fallujah or something based off of the responses we got.

I moved to 95th/2nd 18 years ago and I have seen the neighborhood go steadily from interesting to... well, the little bodega that used to be open 24 hours where I could get my after-the-bar 3AM sausage egg and cheese sammich is now a “cafe” and closes at 8pm. There’s a Starbucks open now. Worst of all I’m seeing…
