This. The best advice my lawyer ever gave me was to stop focusing on/talking about what was right or what I deserved and instead focus on what I could actually hope to achieve.

Via shitty aquaintance who knows her, true. Also, he was threatening some pretty evil airing of laundry if she kept pressing, which would have been both expensive and humiliating to fight. No one is ever the haloed saint in a relationship, and no one is pure evil. There’s always some give and take on both ends. Still,…

They might both have shit on each other. Or, being in an abusive relationship is crazy-making and horrible and having it rehashed in the press while people call you a gold-digging liar makes it even harder so she was like, I’ll take this money and get this the fuck over with.

I’ve seen almost no whining except for people who claim that others are whining about it.

This... this is hilarious. I thought Lochte looking like a lost Super Saiyan, or the metal injuries were going to be the most memorable. Nope. The superman dive devoid of all pride and dignity takes the cake. I love it.

I grew up in Oregon and this was an even huger deal there. I remember the sports section was still publishing letters to the editor about Decker Slaney’s behavior as late as Christmas.

Me too. Nine years old and obsessed with track and field. I was definitely an anti Zola partisan.

Me too! My mom had made a point of tuning in to watch this because she was so caught up in the hype. She was yelling when Mary fell.

Same here. I believe I was at my late grandma’s house. Oh man...

The summer of free Big Macs and fries. I remember it well.

and Hillary Clinton seems to be ok with it.

One time my roommate was short on his half of the rent three months in a row so I changed the password on the internet I was paying for and told him he had no internet until he paid what he owed. He retaliated by stealing the router and locking himself in his bedroom so I kicked his door off its hinges and took it…

Wtf? If you’re all adults then you just courteously inform people that you’re hoping to get busy on a given night, and you all work together to pretend that you don’t hear or see anything untoward... Maybe that means that the non-participants make alternate sleeping arrangements, but it doesn’t mean that you take…

One night in undergrad I came home from a late night study session in the library. Opened the door to my shared room, and was hit in the face by a WALL of sex funk. My roommate was busily getting it on with her boyfriend who supposedly was only staying over every weekend but wound up staying four days out of seven…

If someone locks me out I will lose my damn mind. Much less if it’s because you want to get laid. Not cool regardless of who does it.

During the whole time of the Clinton Presidency, it seemed like she was setting herself up/being set up for positions of power. As soon as he was in office, he started putting her in charge of things like the push for universal healthcare. As soon as his second term was over, she ran for Senate. I just don't know what…

A lot of people on Jezebel love to criticize me for not being an avid Hillary supporter. I will vote for her because she isn't Trump, that doesn't mean she was my first choice. But the reason I don't trust her is that she always seemed willing to let other women's lives be destroyed by her husband so she could advance…

You can get hyper analytical, but it seems pretty clear that Bill has mistreated women for a long time and Hillary has done her best to be part of the machine that keeps him clean enough (and in the process rolling over those women) that they can accomplish their political goals in spite of his behavior.
