I’m sure someone on the internet has a good answer.

Heard apparently doesn’t come from money but I can get where she comes off as stuck-up and spoiled. Before Depp, her relationships were low key so I do wonder if her few years with Depp spoiled her on luxury. Depp had a good decade where he was a multimillionaire and too many people were invested in pleasing him. He…

I apologize for misunderstanding your views.

I don’t care that other countries hate the US? They have every right to. We deserve to be despised. The list of atrocities committed by the US and our people is too long (Henry Kissinger easily makes up a third of that list).

Fair!

Agreed. The dividing line is the legal definition of what constitutes assault. If you’re married, then a partner smashing things that collectively belong to the couple don’t “count” as having “your” things broken.

If we think back to the days of print media then if your face can sell something it creates a feedback loop where you get more jobs and literal face recognition and the brand gets their product associated with a star. Think, Marilyn Monroe saying she went to bed wearing Chanel No.5.

Yes, very nice example. You win the moral high ground because clearly the suffering of other people is so far from my mind.

Yeah. I’m sure there are families where the parents were at least 80% devoted to the kids but mine wasn’t like that. They did activities with us and brought us along on trips but in retrospect, we were just kind of “there.” They weren’t interested in our interests and now that I’m older I can see how childish my…

Your assessment is fair and your experience is valid.

Gabby Petito is a great example of another dynamic that was “bad” but the violence was not equal in scale or moral weight. The pattern is there where the (real) victim retaliates and readily admits to hitting the other person while the perpetrator denies all wrongdoing (because women are crazy!)

Hey, I agree with you. In a follow up comment in this thread I mention that I believe that he was the “main” abuser/antagonizer and the details of her account are very clear, his are not. It’s true : victims can’t win whether the fight back or don’t.

It can be argued that the talk about generations is pointless but yeah, 1945 boomers are lumped in with 1964 boomers the same way 1985 Gen X-ers are lumped in with people born in 99/00 as “Millennials.” There’s a huge gap of lived experience which requires sub-generations to explain. My brother and I are only five…

No, I mean the 80s. The oldest Boomers were in their thirties and the youngest in their 20s.

By 2010, a number of his performances were genuinely painful to watch. It was like he wanted to play the same character all the time.

Iget your point where he’d want to go to his career peak and the stability of his partnership with Vanessa Paradis.

Please read what I wrote. I agree with you. The GOP doesn’t actually do anything (fixing infrastructure, improving quality of life, etc) but they’re good at making it LOOK like they’re doing something. Even if it’s awful, even if they make people’s lives worse, at least they have something on the books for their base.…

I’ve come to understand that expecting there to be average set of behaviors. Yes, many people could do some minor research to find out more about her specific situation. Just as many people would not have Googled her and moved on with there day.

I don’t disagree. I have not seen anything past the main story. Something something mermaids and fountain of youth and Barbossa is all I know about subsequent films.

Maybe we’re weeding into semantics. He wasn’t named in the article, he was alluded to. If you knew who Amber Heard was (or Johnny Depp) you might know who she was referring to. If you had no idea who she was (at least) and weren’t following celebrity news you might not know who she was talking about.
