Free Speech: Are they being censored by the government? Is the government retaliating? That’s basically what free speech protects us from. It does not, however, force privately held companies to employ or give platform to vile opinions. It does not exempt you from criminal liability in the case of slander, libel,…

YES. Oddly enough, I felt the same about visiting other sites, like Pearl Harbor. To see people chatting, laughing, posing for selfies and generally having absolutely no respect or consideration for the site and what transpired always grossed me out. To be anything but subdued is weird to me, and to use the site where…

Agreed. I was in NYC on the 10 year anniversary (unintended, my friend booked the trip) and it was still heart breaking. We wound up passing by the site one evening, but it seemed disrespectful to even approach it. Being from a small town on the West coast, I was surprised at how small everything was — seeing the WTC…

That, and featuring someone with the serious acting chops of Charlie Sheen /s. Still seems incredibly tasteless, all this time later.

I relate to this on a real level (I was a sophomore in high school when it happened). It seems every day I have a moment of understanding or a new realization re: older generations and how they viewed the things that I was too young to remember/appreciate (or you know, not even alive yet). I’m pretty sure it’s only…

“ I don’t think you were meaning to judge, but as someone who didn’t start masturbating until high school these kinds of comments can come off as “what’s wrong with you?”. Nothing is wrong with a ten year old who has sexual feelings/is masturbating, but there’s also nothing wrong with one who doesn’t.”

I started in my teens. I had no idea how to. I lost my virginity way before that.

The same thing happened in various areas in Seattle too. It’s a shame. Why someone would buy, say, a condo above a fucking bar that regularly hosts live music — AND THEN BE UPSET ABOUT SAID MUSIC is beyond me.

She says she had a miscarriage, and shaved her head as an act of mourning.

She’s doing everything in her power to look like Marilyn Monroe.

Depends. Drag influences our culture, believe it or not. Personally, I enjoy the makeup, costumes/fashion, charisma, character, performance, comedy, wit, creativity, etc.

He’s like a cup of frothy urine.

I’d like to think I’d feed my kid unprocessed food (apart from what is cooked) just to help promote a healthy GI, but I’d never instate preferences, or gluten free/lactose free/vegetarian things on my kid - unless they displayed allergic reactions.

Eh, if the issue is that a kid just doesn’t want to be alone, a sleepover is just an alternative - won’t solve the issue, because they have someone else to sleep with. As soon as the friend goes home, they’ll be back where they started.

I spent a lot of time alone as a kid, and definitely didn’t have helicopter parents (like, the opposite) but I still wanted to sleep in a pack as opposed to by myself. And I tried to keep that up until my parents finally shut it down when I was 8 or 9 (I was sleeping on the floor at that point). I just felt safer…

I was that kid. I was just afraid of being alone in the dark, with the noises a house produces, and had the tendency to let my imagination work me into hysterics. Interestingly enough, that fear was one I developed after having slept on my own until I was about 4. I just didn’t know how to let it go and go to sleep,…

The latter, 100%. Now he has Bill’s accusers there. I know Hill will “aim high” but the dude was accused of rape by his own wife (cue “can’t rape your spouse”) and has an open allegation against him for raping a 13-year-old in the company of Jeffrey Epstein.

I wonder if she secretly gets totally skeeved out by his comments, or if she’s immune to it by now. Of course she’s going to publicly brush it off, as it’s financially beneficial to her to do so - but it’d be pretty fucking hard to dismiss your own dad calling you a piece of ass (in addition to the multitude of his…

With the redistricting done in 2010, Democrats won’t have a chance of getting control of congress until 2030, and that’s if they make some gains in spite of the gerrymandering in 2020, to try to push back against additional Republican efforts at remapping districts.

Watters needs to increase his Daily Show study time, if he was aiming for tongue-in-cheek.
