I saw that yesterday. It’s pretty powerful. I vaguely noticed the picture of the kid with the gun as Evan was scrolling through photos, but didn’t really stop to think about it because, as the admakers intended, I was focused on the story instead.

The problem is that many victims of rape and sexual assault have exactly the same sort of stories about going to the police. Speaking as a rape victim myself and as someone who’s been part of a support group for other survivors, many of whom have horror stories about cops, teachers, parents, and more, it fucking sucks…

That “shall we say” is absolutely the “shall we say” of a man who hopes people will interpret it to mean “I totally nailed her.” It is also, in all likelihood, the “shall we say” of a man who knows he cannot actually say “I totally nailed her” without being sued for libel because he absolutely did not nail her.

Yep. I like Keith Ellison. It’s because I like him that I don’t want him as DNC chair. I want him to be someone who can act as a leader in the House, work his butt off opposing Trump there, build public brand recognition, and potentially be poised for bigger and better things down the road. None of that is what the…

Uh...speaking as a working-class person from a rural area, I’m pretty offended by the notion that shows about rich people from non-rural areas inherently show a “better” version of me. I don’t think the characters on “How To Get Away With Murder,” for example, are particularly inspirational examples of how to be a…

Yeah, they really should have gotten Jensen Ackles to do a cameo of some sort, whether it was just buying pie/cheeseburgers in the background of some scene or turning around briefly when someone said “Dean” in a public place.

Fair enough. Even so, it seems unlikely that these guys were these employees’ first black customers, so this level of overreaction (I don’t even know if “overreaction” is the right word, since any reaction to “black people looking for cheese” that isn’t either “sorry, we don’t have cheese” or “yeah, the cheese is over…

Are you equally upset that the other women in the pageant shaved their legs and armpits? That’s the result of a culture that tells women that having visible hair on their bodies is intrinsically unsightly and shameful, after all. Should we refuse to celebrate all women who remove their body hair as well?

I feel like this may be a “why not both” situation. Being terrified of black people asking for cheese (in a city where over 50% of the population is black, so it’s not even like black shoppers coming in at night could possibly be an unusual phenomenon) to the point of locking oneself in a back room and hiding for 45…

You know what they say about glass houses?

I hate to go all “engaging the troll” on you, but accurate “scoreboard,” reflecting the actual population in those counties:

One thing that can be helpful is to frame your statements to be about the victim rather than the abuser: i.e. not “he’s an asshole and you should leave him,” but “you are a wonderful person and a good friend, and you don’t deserve to be treated this way.” “He’s an asshole” will often make victims of abuse think, “Oh…

The argument isn’t really “you should aim to kill anytime you feel menaced” but rather “the only time you should be shooting at someone AT ALL is if you are in so much immediate physical danger from them that killing them is the only realistic way of stopping them.” It’s absolutely a pro-gun-control argument rather…

Nah, I don’t think that’ll happen.

Googling the list of past winners, it looks like it’s the fifth time an Olympic gold medalist has won - two gymnasts (Laurie Hernandez and Shawn Johnson), two figure skaters (Kristi Yamaguchi and Meryl Davis), and one speed skater (Apolo Ohno).

Your “society” and “observation” appears to be limited to your basement, because here in the real world, women do a hell of a lot more work than just looking pretty for you. To claim it’s not sexist to say that most women put no effort into anything but their looks is like saying “I’m not racist, I just think that…

I really wish there were some sort of button I could press that would shoot anyone who ever expresses the thought “this person is too ugly to rape” into outer space. Immediately. Without a spacesuit. I don’t want to share a planet with people vile enough to think that way.

I didn’t, but stolen signs were definitely a Thing. In particular, there was one dorm on campus whose name was also the name of a nearby street, and that street’s signs got stolen constantly because everyone living there apparently needed a street sign with their dorm’s name on it. It was like a little war between…

I entered something like asdfghjkl728qwerty@hotmail.com and it took it just fine. At long as it looks email-shaped, the form doesn’t care. Give Trump a pile of survey results from EatABagOfDicksYouOrangeAsshole@gofuckyourself.com; whoever designed this interface apparently couldn’t be bothered to prevent you from…

Yeah, there are a lot of things about the Kristin Davis blurb here that I find pretty out of line, but feeling the need to put “adopted daughter” both in the headline and the first sentence is particularly uncool. It wasn’t cool when commentators did it to Simone Biles and her parents at the Olympics, and it’s not…
