Usually about...now:

Come on now. Let’s not blame the mother for a grown man being a monster.

he could have been raised right and turned into a monster, it happens all the time. Parents have no control over some psycho who grew and held his kids hostage. He made that choice

I’m going to be generous and say that sometimes you raise your kids to the best of your ability and they still end up assholes.

The thing that cracks me up is that this guy, and CBS, keeps tripping over his own dick on this subject. They do have 2 major shows led by black women... which both got shunted to their online only platform (Good Fight & ST:Discovery). They do have a highly rated show headed by a woman... because the white male lead…

Exactly. It’s so incredibly lazy, it’s mind boggling.

Yeah, but also, they’re free over the air. Even for netflix/hulu/etc you need adequate internet service, which is hard to get in some areas and is minimum $50/mo around here. it would it be great for these networks to just do better

Protestant and baptist?! The hell you say! We should just sit back and enjoy this bountiful gift.

They had white guys with blond hair, and white guys with brown hair and white guys with black hair! They had white guys who were from NYC and white guys from LA! They had white guys who sported 3 days of stubble and white guys who only sported one day of stubble! They had white guys who were protestant and white guys…

It shouldn’t matter if the CW is partially owned by CBS, because its shows air on an entirely different channel with entirely different ratings. CBS doesn’t get credit for content they dump off on the CW instead of canceling (See: Supergirl) just because there’s a tangential relationship between the companies.

Wait. You mean to tell me the white guy in charge doesn’t think the all white casting team making decisions that lack diversity is a barrier to diversity? Because they’ve been working together so well making those same decisions year after year. They’re working really hard to change things, you guys.

All they literally have to do is cast non-white people in roles. They don’t have to “BE LATINO” or “BE ASIAN”—they can just “BE GOOD ACTORS” that happen to be non-white. CBS fucking sucks.

I rented a full apt for a trip to the west coast for 5 days. The host was highly rated and told me he’d be gone my entire trip. Jump to day two of my stay and he’s coming back to his place late at night, saying his business trip ended early. After three more days in that awkward one bedroom with him sleeping on the…

This is why I tell everyone to avoid AirBNB. After all, who wants to sleep in a room next to some stranger? I get the rates are cheaper, but the chances of this happening are just too high.

In this day and age of renting rooms/homes and getting one-way rides from strangers in their cars, what could go wrong?

Yeah, I don’t want to shit on the author but isn’t she part of the problem by not realizing this until she had her own kid.

I never assumed anybody gave a shit about my kid mainly because he’s mine and he’s no one else’s responsibility. I’m not trying to be a downer; that’s reality for me.

Right, we’ve always only cared about what is ours. This was well-meaning I’m sure but fuck was it self important. This is not some new age where kids don’t matter. They never fucking mattered.

I don’t long for the days of “Won’t someone please think of the children?!?” pandering. It’s just as disingenuous as not giving a shit about kids at all. It’s simply using them as a political cudgel, usually to defend something stupid or abhorrent. What we’re lacking is good old fashioned empathy for our fellow man,…
