“Being held accountable” insofar as American police usually are. As you mentioned, this will go away for them shortly like it never even happened. As I mentioned, if this case wasn’t so big we wouldn’t even have this report because, though I’m no expert, I am not under the impression that police departments are…

Cops being predominately men almost always means that a domestic incident between a heterosexual couple is always going to be treated as “Women, amirite?” when they roll up on the scene. Because of how men and women are socialized, just like in this case, women might be crying and emotional (regardless if they’re the…

Garfield has that “guy next door” quality. He’s cute, but kind of plain and gangly and there’s something feminine about him/his acting. Whereas I feel like Barnes is in the “unattainable” Chris Hemsworth kind of masculine beauty category. Ergo, Barnes is more attractive as a prince than Garfield would be.

You are correct: I also live in hell so I feel I am an authority.

I mean, I think there’s a lot of wiggle room between jail and maybe getting a sweet cash settlement. For men like Cuomo, having “serial breast fondler” on their record is humiliating and an appropriate punishment.

You’re right, I apologize. “Liar” was a strong word. It’s frustrating that the powers get to decide that the victims don’t have enough evidence to prove to a jury that touch was unwanted. This could boil down to plain society deciding women existing is the issue and the Cuomo has the star power to go free, anyway, so…

I don’t mind not drinking and riving but it’s the mandate that rubs me the wrong way.  If you choose not to stay off the road while I’m driving drunk it’s now your problem.

The Women: We were touched inappropriately.

I don’t mind NOT shitting on the floor but it’s the mandate that I mustn’t shit on the floor that’s rubbing me the wrong way.

Tons of people have currently been hospitalized as as result of this incident...

Yep! Or how there was this big bribe like, “C’mon, guys! Stop the spread! Get vaccinated! As a reward we can get back to normal!”

I said as much above, that’s why I put “rights” in scare quotes. Anyone looking to justify their behavior has a convenient out because the CDC has given permission for the vaccinated to do nearly whatever they want (if they pinky swear they’re vaccinated, of course).

I spent some time thinking about how Cruz and AOC’s situations are different before replying.

It’s creepy and gross. A straight man would not say that to a fellow man if he didn’t want to do an (unpaid) chore for him.

I think this is definitely a cultural thing. AOC just has the unfortunate job combination of being a leftist WOC in this country so it’s amplified all the more.

The insult about his feet/him wearing sandals doesn’t even make sense? It’s Florida where the state shoe is sandals?* So much so that people develop this disease where they shuffle around the floor and waddle instead of picking up their goddamn knees and walking like humans. They could have insulted something else…

I didn’t un-grey you lightly. I hope you know that you are valuable and you matter.

I don’t know why you’re even questioning the answer to this (or if you’re doing a hypothetical)? If people have extra money, they aren’t corporations. They aren’t going to sit on it. Extra money will go toward necessities like food and rent. Extra money will go into discretionary spending, like eating out at…

I’ll add that our culture pretends like it rewards people who make the “right” choices. Sure, you might be a bum who sits around and watches Joe Rogan but at least you aren’t a drug addict! Sure, no one likes you but you have no student debt! You’re better than someone, somewhere, out there and that’s what counts!

I don’t know how there is always a comment like this in every forum about this topic:
