I am sure it was more than you have donated.

“the woman card, an all-powerful card worth 78.3% of a regular card”

Awesome turn of phrase.
(awful that it’s true. :()

No, I can’t force people to spend their money is a reasonable or responsible way, but I can and will continue to call them selfish assholes for wasting their money in such a way.

I’m a full-time shelter worker*, donate my “extra” cash to four different charities (ASPCA, Shriners Hospitals for Children, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, The Wild Animal Sanctuary) on a monthly basis, and frequently use my own money to buy supplies for my job that I am not able to be reimbursed for, and have three…

They flew to motherfucking South Korea to witness the birth. Part of me believes we really need to bring back shame as a method of social control because FUCKING REALLY??

If anyone is wondering, that money could have saved AT LEAST two hundred shelter dogs.

100,000 dollars wasted. That money they could have helped thousands of animals. May look like your dog but that ain't your dog.

Exactly. I even go for the animals who are sickly. Paczki and Cleo’s mom died of mastitis when they were a week old, and the woman we got them from fed them goats milk from an eye dropper. Packzi was the runt, was born mostly blind from cataracts, and was partially deaf. She wouldn’t even let us give her the $5 for…

Yeah, I remember, after getting a new kitten, being asked if he was like my much loved first cat, who had died a few weeks before. I replied, “Not a bit, and I like it that way.” I would have liked it if new kitten was like my first cat too, but there’s something cool about knowing you can love whoever comes your way.

I'd much rather adopt a new dog and give it a home than to spend a shit ton of money to clone my previous dog. We already have too many unwanted animals, so I'm not a fan of this. I also feel the same way about orphaned children.

I had a cat who passed away a few years ago. He had been part of my family since I was in elementary school. But it would never occur to me to try to clone him. One thing I like about each pet is the different personalities.

Religion. We have too much religion.

Most women learn to see themselves in male characters from the time they start consuming books/movies/TV shows. We don’t really have a choice... well-rounded and interesting female characters are usually the exception rather than the rule. On the other hand, men always seem to have issues seeing themselves in female…

...but it’s NOT the truth. As a kid in the 70’s I knew a number of girls who like Star Wars just as much as the boys. As I’ve grown up I’ve known several women who were straight-up super fans back in the day.

How can it be the truth if there are girls/women that have loved it since Day 1, making his statement completely false no matter how you look at it?

Comments don’t get much more pathetic and cowardly than this.

Ohhh. Yeah, they ruled that person out. He was just running, not an active person involved. I mean, I’d run too if I knew what was happening around me (the shooting) and then I saw a black SUV and cops around during that time. Not saying that’s what happened but I could see that being the case.

right? who’s fetishizing who here?

Yes, and those bruises on her neck consistent with being choked are also just him defending himself.

It’s very telling that in her narrative, she admits to not being a saint and never asks anyone to take her side or attack him, while he plays the martyr who did nothing wrong, makes it about race (which is, conveniently, the theme of his maybe book) and explicitly insults anyone who believes her and not him. Typical.
