Just as every internet comment about why feminism isn’t needed proves that feminism IS needed, every internet comment about how awful Star Wars fans are will result in Star Wars fans proving that yes, they are awful.

That’s a gofundme I would donate to

It’s because they want the junkies to die. To teach them a lesson. There’s no other reason to be against it. 

That was my main thought beyond the stereotypical reasons. Child actors seem to be worked like adults would be, with long hours (possibly without school and/or social contact with peers) and critical bosses. Who knows what other actors or entertainers do to ‘prepare for a scene’ or whatever in front of kids in the…

I hope that person gets fired. 

The fact that an emergency responder disclosed that she received Narcan - to TMZ, yet - seems a gross violation of her HIPAA rights. We simply should not know, and do not have the right to know about this. Shame.

He could be economically anxious. Or part of America’s forgotten middle class. Maybe he’s a victim of the opiod crisis. Or involuntarily celibate. But really I’m sure he was polite to his neighbors and a fan of country music.

The fetal body part that develops into the penis is the clitoris. FGM = castration.

Apparently, it’s less the empowerment (as women are often the main proponents, worrying about their daughters’ reputation and talking shit about each others’ daughters) than the info. For example, they don’t know many women who haven’t had the procedure, so they assume all the adverse events are as natural to their…

Somalia has become a shithole due in large part to not having an effective government in over 25 years. Most of the country is run by warlords or religious (mostly Islamist) extremists fighting the government, peace keeping forces, and each other. Throw in plenty of corruption and the government doesn’t have much…
