Bitter, sure, but she made some good points, no? If she asked Will to organize and ask for more money for their show, and she got that answer (“I got my deal, you got your own deals”), she has a point.

You are on Jezebel. Personal responsibility does not exist here.

Is “common-sense challenged young woman” better?

I agree that her friends will feel guilty about this and they will carry that guilt for a long time. If that guilt means that next time they will go out of their way to help someone in need, whether they know the person or not, then maybe this girl’s death isn’t in vain.

Um her friends realized she was missing and called her mother. It doesn’t say how long that took but to assume she had bad friends who weren’t looking out for her is a bit much. They also thought she caught a ride. So maybe she gave them the impression that she waiting for one and when she was no longer in the house

THIS! If she can be young and irresponsible, why would you assume her friends are clear-thinking, sober individuals?

I agree. Also, it’s safe to assume that her friends were also highly intoxicated and probably not thinking quite as clearly as hindsight commenters on the internet.

Look, I’m not saying I wouldn’t hunt down a friend in a similar situation. Of course I would and I have on many, many occasions. I was the official babysitter for years because I’m not a big drinker. I’m just not OK with placing any blame on them. They are also young and dumb but they are not responsible for her death.

Right. It’s the friends that are to blame, not the idiot wearing shorts and a tank top in January in Wisconsin while binge drinking.

Right? What is wrong with everyone? Do you go to the doctor so that you can have her blow smoke up your ass and tell you everything is going to be fine and you have no risks, or do you go for the fucking truth so you can get proper care? If a doctor DIDN’T tell you that your pregnancy was geriatric, they could be sued

I get it. Pregnancy sucks, I’ve been there. I just don’t get why people get all pissy about that term. Who cares what they call your pregnancy if you’re getting the right care? Are they supposed to lie to you and tell you that your pregnancy is not different than the norm in order to spare your feelings?

Reading this thread makes me actually want to weep - how fucking hard is it to read a little bit about your own pregnancy so you can stop assuming everyone is out to offend you with their terminology? The only people I feel bad for here are the doctors.

It’s a medical term. It isn’t a personal insult. Jesus.

I mean, you’re technically having a geriatric pregnancy. Do you want them to pretend that you aren’t and treat you like everyone else, even though the science says that you might need extra care? Even if your general body is in better health than it was when you were 20, that probably doesn’t translate to better

Do we bring up the policies of every person who campaigns for someone and make their positions into the candidate’s positions? No, we don’t.

If you don’t see the connection between federal spending, banking, and erosion of civil liberties, that’s on you.

So you’re supporting Bernie Sanders then?

You mean the policies spearheaded by Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders? Ok, I agree.

So you’re voting for the person who enabled him? Gotcha. Which policies do you agree with? The ones that will loosen the restrictions on the Big Banks and Wall Street, who are paying for her campaign?

Waiting for people to twist themselves into knots trying to explain away Bill’s predatory behavior. Even if you don’t think he raped Juanita Broderrick, his other behavior has been repulsive. There’s a reason why sexual harassment laws and anti-fraternization policies exist. You don’t want the boss trolling the intern
