That’s the spin her lawyers put on her complaint anyways. It could be true, but it’s also the narrative spun by a carefully crafted complaint, so it could also be a complete misrepresentation of the reality of the situation.

The more interesting thing to me here will be whether this suit has legs to produce meaningful damages.

That’s an interesting thing to say about someone you don’t know over the internet.

That’s sort of on the extreme end of things, but yeah, that’s one of the potential risks of dealing in absolutes with kids.

I know, it’s almost like I want my kid to find some sort of middle ground between being a weirdo who can’t get a job because he gets offended when an interviewer tries to shake his hand and feeling like he has to hug his great aunt who smells like cats and a funeral home.

It can’t be stressed enough how important it is for people to feel like they have agency over their own body but at the same time, you have to be careful how you address that agency to your kids. Dealing in absolutes with your kids is really something you should be careful about with situations where there are more…

They shouldn’t necessarily get a cut, but it is a meaningful piece of information to know about in negotiating.

I don’t think he’s meant to be complicated because the truth is in a world like TWD you would eventually find yourself running into despots who’s reasoning for doing things like murdering people with bats are as simple as it being an effective way to encourage obedience in order to maintain order.

Really, Pat? I mean, at this point, even I think that your support for Donald Trump is getting a bit awkward.

I don’t know that I’m going to give it to them straight out, but I also won’t automatically assume they are lying.

My understanding is that it’s not entirely clear whether he and his first wife were already pretty much dunzo and ready to move on.

As a Black woman, let me tell you firsthand that yes, my actions, whether they are reasonable or not, are absolutely perceived differently than those of a white man.

I mean, all of those attributes you listed as differentiating him would seem to make it more likely that his career wouldn’t fall apart, not less, and yet once his unhinged crazy pants self became public knowledge, it still did.

She seems about on par in terms of her unhingedness as Mel Gibson. Once Gibson’s worst tendencies became public knowledge, he definitely fell off the face of the planet career wise.

Well, maybe not, but people don’t like it when you outright assert with certainty that how they approach the world is driven by rank tribalism.

Nope, I am calibrating for that.

Well, I think when you view the entirety of the situation, the whole spitting thing may just not register that much with someone who just watched another person fly off the handle, pick up a glass and threaten to cut someone with it.

I mean, someone pointed out that he sort of specifically calls out women here, which is sort of true in one sense, but I also don’t think that’s the part where you would say he’s potentially patronizing Banks, which would the parts where he talks about helping her.

Well, you might need to, but I’m not shocked that some other people did not, either.
