It is absolutely possible, nay, ideal, to have empathy for the weak, whilst still recognizing their weakness. Empathy, by definition, requires that we understand the weakness of our fellows.

One thing (out of many) that frustrates me about the anti-trigger warning people is that they don’t understand that often trigger warnings don’t mean a person won’t read the book, it means they can prepare themselves for the trigger so they’re not taken by surprise.

I think she was canceled and is now in syndication. 

There’s so much irony here, isn’t there? The person of color is just doing what they do, and helping out other people. It’s the white person sitting over there not doing anything that obviously doesn’t think they’re “better than” the POC. Nobody’s even asked the POC - and it’s not like (s)he was waiting to be asked,…

It’s the oldest white insecurity.

Seconding what salmon says.  You’re the fucking worst.

“And they think that’s easy, because hey, P.T. Barnum, he does the circus” 

Between watching Fox perform for him, tweeting about Fox talking about him, and watching himself perform for himself, it must be hard to make time to cram in hamburgers, play golf, and bring the free world crashing down around us.
How does he do it?!

Right on. Also I doubt RDJ is as flippant about his own past addiction. 

I said you are the worst and I will also explain why. Because you pretty much put it out there yourself. ‘She’s a generic drug addict”, nailed it.

The headline doesn’t seem to match the story? “Capitulates” suggests they fired her, when they actually released a statement of support. Total clickbait.

Don’t you know that if you’re not a chaste, squeaky clean victim, you’re not *really* a true victim and must be making shit up to ruin an innocent man's life? Come on now, this is ‘Murrica.

Somebody can’t be abused if they’ve taken drugs? Because being in an abusive relationship would seem to be a pretty strong motivation to self medicate. 

This is bullshit but color me not at all suprised. Getting a protective order for myself and my kids was something of a nightmare and involved me having to drag my middle child in for a hearing against her own father. The first time the man violated that order the younger cop asked me if I had been drinking and if I…

I can’t imagine why this collection of writers couldn’t come up with a better story arc for her character - there’s a hefty 6.25% of women at the table.

Ancestry.com saw the name on the sample and was like, “No need to run it. This dude’s black.”

I find it hard to believe that a white dude named “Cleon Brown” wasn’t used to black jokes before he took a DNA test.
