One assumes when Hillary Clinton says that sexual assault victims have a right to be believed, she means by the authorities etc. when they report. Because a lot of women have a hellish time with the police and whatnot placing the burden of proof on sexual assault victims and re-victimizing them. And I also agree with

It’s puzzling to me how many people are acting like this is new information. Or like Hilary Clinton is somehow more responsible for Bill Clinton’s behavior than Bill Clinton is.

I don’t know if Bill Clinton raped her or not, but I do find it odd that she seems to focus so much on ruining Hillary’s career over the issue. Her evidence that Hillary even would have known about the incident is shaky at best - Hillary shook her hand and said thank you, in what was perceived to be a menacing tone?

I am alarmed at the suggestion that bringing a bottle of booze is insufficient without fucking with it first.

Potlucks are fine. Put people who can’t cook in charge of booze and it’s fine.

Did he just put it on the table in the bag? Do you think he meant to get corn chips? But why would they be in the freezer section? This whole story really intrigues me.

My husband’s old office used to do potlucks a lot and usually I would put something together for him to take in. One time he forgot and I advised him to pick up a couple of bags of chips at the store but instead he bought a bag of frozen corn. FROZEN CORN. I still don’t know how he thought he would heat it up and

I did not know that an all-potato-salad party was my secret desire until I read this.

There is a real class division in how people view potlucks. Higher income people view them as lazy and cheap. Most blue collar folks see them as fun and a great way to have a party. There are a lot of people who can’t afford to invite 20-30 people over to eat. Blue collar folks also don’t usually do wine/ hors

My favorite part was when she mentions picking up grocery store plates for a kids party but says for adults she prefers plates made from babmboo or fallen leaves. I thought surely that can’t be a serious line, and then there was a link. I mean turns out they’re from fallen Palm leaves and I think I might actually buy

Hahaaha I made a nearly identical post upthread (although I said chips, not oreos.) When people are like ‘I MADE SOMETHING FANCY AND I’M MAD THAT YOU DIDN’T’ and/or ‘I FEEL GUILTY ABOUT JUST BUYING A THING’ potlucks get unchill. If everybody just owns the role they play in the potluck ecosphere and relaxes for a hot

Perfect gif.

I’m not mad at that suggestion to ‘batch your booze’, though. Most of the rest of that list is lol but if more potlucks have more sangria I’m all for it.

Yeahhhhh I love potlucks because I love flexing on something fancier than I’d bother to make for myself....but I also really really love chips so I’m pumped that someone contributed some. My favourite potlucks *have* involved a little coordination (i.e. ‘we have this many vegetarians’-level planning) but I think as

I have to respectfully disagree. My friends are poor and busy, so what often happens is whoever is hosting will provide an entree (with the pricey protein) and the rest of us will bring sides or dessert. As long as everybody respects the Rule of Potluck (everyone contributes more than they plan on eating, and if

I watched the video last night when I knew I shouldn’t have. Any person who has grown up in a home with an angry drunk knows how scary the situation is, to not take Amber seriously and still defend this POS. While they may have had a tumultuous relationship, I think it damages society when people jump to excuse bad

Hung out with Lochte in DC a few years ago and he really is the epitome of just shut up and look good. Amazing athlete obvi, but he should not talk. Or write. I still would but there would have to be a do not talk order.

That's brave. I don't even deal with comment sections outside Gawker media anymore; they're all a clusterfuck ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
