CNN is the sorriest sack of shit on cable, and I don’t even feel the least bit sad for them. Somewhere along the way they forgot that along with being fair/impartial, the media also has to report the the truth. What you can’t do is make everything into false equivalencies and have people take you seriously. Sometimes,…

You ‘know’ her well enough to judge a situation better than professionals close to the situation because you’ve followed media about her? Look, we all form opinions about others based on stories we hear... but try to remember that opinion is not the same as knowledge. She seems terrible to you; to someone else (me)…

Was coming here to say this. Her vet is *also* publicly confirming the story. But it’s Lena Dunham, so <shrug> let’s just go with the armchair concern-troll takes. /s

That poor baby! Friends of ours adopted a greyhound (that was trained with live bait :( ) and he was an awesome dog... until they had a baby. Then, the mere sound of their newborn crying, cooing or making any newborn noise made the poor dog go insane because newborns sound very similar to dying cats/possums that…

Really? That’s your response? The guy said that dogs are often different outside of the shelter. This is also obviously true. He never said they all become aggressive or do anything crazy just that the behavior changes. If you want to blame someone blame the shelter. There was no need for them to comment, no one…

Yep, you have one dog so you know everything about dogs. The question here is did Dunham treat the dog so badly and abuse the dog to the point where it developed severe behavioral problems? If you’re going to accuse someone of that you actually have to have proof, not just have made up in your head that you hate a…

Ok. SHE (not a “dude”) rehomed the dog. She didn’t want to give him up, but after extensive time working on his issues, someone OFFERED to adopt him. Maybe you should have read the article instead of going on an unhinged rant based on a fucking headline.

Just because it worked for you doesn’t mean it works for everybody. I have a close friend who had a rescue without problem for 8 years. GREAT DOG. Then she had a baby and the dog LOST ITS MIND. Like, actually started jumping out windows. Trainers, psychologists, prozac and thousands of dollars - resulting in…

But maybe the fact that she kept him for four years means that she tried a bunch of things and didn’t give up on him easily? There is a charitable interpretation of this.

Good thing your personal experience is universal, and all dogs are the same, then.

I have had a foster dog for 3 years. He can’t leave, and I can’t formally adopt him yet because of his behavioral issues. He was gentle and friendly in the shelter— because he’s an extremely sensitive dog, and when you separate him from me, he shuts right down. The rescue and I have worked with 3 dog trainers, and…

Personally I’m tired of people attacking interracial relationships. I hated when Jill Scott did it several years ago and I hate it now. Because underneath the rant about interracial relationships is the hatred of biracial people. We get it, you don’t think we should exist.

Apologies for the long post, but I have Opinions about s4+ GoT and this seems a good a place as any.

What I’m explaining to you is that this default reaction you seem to think “people” had with the scene is not universal.

This particular rape never should’ve happened because it made no sense whatsoever in-story to have Sansa marry Ramsay in the first place. Avenge your family by marrying your family’s murderers and thus legitimizing them? In the book, Ramsay married a fake!Arya, and the Northern lords chose to believe that lie. And if…

Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. *Record scratch*

Expressing my opinion = expressing an opinion

Right. But young liberals are disagreeing with religious preachers, racists, bigots, et al. They’re disagreeing with people’s views and then those people by extension.

he could face the scummiest, most vile opponent, who cheats to win in the most obvious ways and with outside interference, and the people will still refuse to support the Progressive Liberal.

Yes, please! I hate that term so much. How is anyone supposed to take you seriously of you call yourself a “girlboss?” That seems counterproductive and like something I would have called myself when I was 7 and playing with my Barbies. A “girl” is not someone who runs a company. Can you imagine a male CEO calling…
