This attitude of "Holy shit a religious person said a reasonable thing! What???!!!" is condescending and ignorant. There are literally billions of people who hold some kind of religious belief, with a huge variety and diversity of views on any number of subjects. Assuming that "religion" = "fundamentalist,…

Lapsed Catholic here. There is a lot that I disagree with the church on, but when people talk out their ass and take any opportunity to shit on it "BECAUSE RELIGION" is annoying as fuck.

not a big deal at all except for tone. The Big Bang was first theorized by Fr. Georges Lemaitre, a Jesuit priest and given the blessing of the pope almost immediately. In the midfifties the pope said that there's was no reason a catholic couldn't except Darwinism. Pope John Paul II said there was no debate and that…

That was the biggest red flag for me in his little statement from yesterday. When he said that what he did with his partner was like Fifty Shades of Grey, I immediately thought, oh so you mean your sex life is like a book about an abusive, controlling asshole who doesn't respect boundaries?

I'm gonna fucking lay down the law on this shit right here.

it's the submissive partner that holds the most power

Anyone who compares Fifty Shades of Grey to real BDSM is a fucking idiot tool in my book.

I think I once read on a blog that said something to the tune of, in a healthy BDSM relationship, it's the submissive partner that holds the most power. It's like taking a taxi, the Dom may be driving, but it's the Sub who decides where to go and when to get off.

Former pro domme here, and yup. Yup to all of this.

Also, fuck this guy for trying to claim this as BDSM. BDSM is all about consent and comfort of your partner. You never punch someone in the face as soon as they walk in the door without prior consent or discussion (I am not saying this as a joke). I'm so sick of people claiming unwanted violence as sexual kink. …

Thank you so much for writing this, Erin/responding to my crazed tweet last night in which I asked if you were planning on doing the same. Sorry to re-post what I wrote in the comments on today's DB, but my thoughts haven't changed much, also I need to get this arbitration brief index done by the end of the day, and…

I've been saying this for a while now.

I grew up in a time when being a "gamer" was cause for ridicule. Shit, admitting to owning a Nintendo in the mid-80's was a good way to get your ass kicked at my school (not at all schools, I understand).

Now that gaming's finally mainstreamed, and the hobby has -finally- gained…

The gaming community is really the worst thing for gaming.

They're afraid of women for sure but deeper down lies a fear of losing their privilege.

A lot of things.

sunlight, women, cardio...

I don't get it. What are these people SO AFRAID OF

As an attorney who deals with random people at least through third parties, I'm going to try to translate stupid. When she says she "didn't understand" the plea deal, she means she didn't like it and didn't understand WHY she had to do it. She was whining to her lawyer about why she shouldn't have to do or pay…

I watched about 5 minutes of this last night and was struck by how frequently they said they were taking responsibility for their actions and then in the next breath blamed their lawyers for not giving the court the proper paperwork, hiding Joe & Teresa's assets in their bankruptcy filings, not properly explaining the…
