From the story above, there doesn’t seem there was anything illegal done — it’s not a crime to go on vacation and turn off your phone and not log into Facebook, and Costello isn’t the one who called authorities, or gave anyone any false information — so not sure why your surprised that no charges are being filed.

Just as an FYI on my perspective. I have a scientific degree and spent a great deal of my career working in public health. I really won’t say much more for doxxing reasons. Most of my focus has been clinical research and nothing to do with maternal health, I’ll concede that. I may not be right on this, but I’m coming…

Everything women do is called problematic by someone.

Wait - WHAT did they try to tell her? That she shouldn’t post what she damn-well wants to post on FB? How does that make them in the right here?

They could have still just unfollowed...

It appears your instinctive reaction to being embarrassed is to double down on the behavior you're embarrassed about. As though you can't manage to understand that the result is just that you'll get laughed at more, and feel even more embarrassed.

Of course this isn't a real story until some butthurt mra makes it about male oppression somehow.

Where was the guy body-shaming in this?

random troll is random.

Can someone explain to me — is the use of phrases like "stop resisting" and "get down" and "hands behind your back" (and even "he's going for my gun") when they do not match reality something that cops are now specifically trained on because of the prevalence of filming?

This is difficult to talk about but re: this part:

This is why, when someone (man or woman) now brags to me that they "have" someone who is clearly more into them then they are... that I tell them to break it off immediately or reevaluate because dragging someone through purgatory is a special sort of torture for that person. People aren't fucking status symbols or…

Okay, I don't know what's in those videos, but they sound like SHIT. There are no such mistakes. Getting closer to someone means EXPOSING yourself. The other person CAN'T accept you if they don't know who you are and what you're about. My husband and I broke every single "rule". We met on the casual encounters…

It might be helpful to ask yourself what it is you really want to know. Maybe try writing down all the possible answers to the question of "why" and thinking about what it would mean to you if each answer was THE answer. I bet you'll find that you're after emotionally is about you and not about him. Which would be…

I used to do that too. When I started studying the Meisner technique, it went away. Meisner is all about being in the present moment and getting free of thought bullshit, basically. Not that you don't think anymore; you're just free of thought traps.

hmmmm. . . interesting choice of words. . .
interesting. choice. of. words.

I have to say (as someone on the autism spectrum).

Yeah that's a bunch of nonsense. But if we can still go after old members of the KKK for lynchings of innocent black men, or seek out Nazi war criminals who are in their 80s and 90s, we should give rapists and rape victims their day in court too, no matter how long ago it happened. Then again, we have hundreds of…

is this like when rich people have literally nothing to do so they make up problems? like how fucking bored do you have to get when you say vaccines have 'too many toxins'

Exactly. The false convictions in those cases were more a result of investigators not knowing how to interview children than from kids creating memories out of thin air. If you feed young children specific details about how they might have been touched, and they think that's what you want to hear, they're going to…
