Since they were heavy with the Photoshop, couldn't they have Photoshopped away his constipated smolder? No, they couldn't do that. That's his signature. It's not a picture of Justin Bieber unless he looks like someone just walked in on him taking a shit in a public bathroom.

I don't understand why this is a question.

well as a pediatrician you should !!!!!!

I'd be sympathetic if she had pointed at another patron's table and asked for bread rolls. The woman in this story claimed she'd eaten them before, though, and her friends said the only reason they'd come was for the "free bread." Since they got a comped appetizer that time around too, I'm actually inclined to…

I happened to catch an episode of America's Worst Cooks on FoodNetwork yesterday. Talk about shocking ability to function despite severe stupidity (when it comes to food) – one contestant wanted to make chocolate, so she mixed vanilla extract with brown sugar. HOW DOES THAT EVEN BEGIN TO MAKE SENSE?

I used to work at an "Italian" restaurant which I won't name—rhymes with "Shmolive Garden"

Well, at the time, she was ridiculed for wanting to better herself intellectually. I think she was quite bright, but poorly educated. And I hate the contempt people have for her — she was smart enough to create a persona that has survived well past her death. That isn't the work of a stupid person.

I really wish she got a bit more credit for having intellectual curiosity.

I wondered that too. It was clear that the "pray the gay away" bullshit therapy wasn't working, and taking her out of school and removing all access to the internet, phone or her friends for months on end hadn't worked. Where do parents who worry more about how their child is embarrassing them in front of their church…

While I don't dislike the idea of that (see also: fuck off and die, bitch) it won't help the situation at all. At this point, the focus should be on getting through her thick skull so hopefully Leelah can be correctly gendered and named at her services, on her headstone or equivalent, etc. The poor girl will most…

In the hopes that she comes to realize her complete ignorance and how she tormented her child...yes. I hope her life is unpleasant. Maybe the struggle will lead to some personal growth.

I hope these people are endlessly harassed. (22 stars)

I can't exactly say I support harassment, but I won't shed any tears for her if she is.

Oh my god lady, your daughter literally said you were part of the reason she was killing herself. Maybe think about what that means instead of running your mouth about how it wasn't your fault and disrespecting your kid even in death.

The fact is, Uber's surge pricing is predatory. They hope that drunk people will push through the pages to order a cab without reading carefully, and then be too embarrassed to complain. They hope that at a busy time their customers won't be able to catch a cab, won't have access to public transportation, will be too…

This is so fucking heartbreaking. I am weeping for this poor girl. I'm sorry that you didn't have the support you needed Leelah. I'm sorry that you didn't seem to have anybody. I wish somebody would have crossed your path that could have directed you to resources that could help you independent of your parents but it…

I hope these people are endlessly harassed. Truly. She did not love her child.

I honestly just feel sorry for this woman, because she's lost something beautiful, but she's too limited to ever really know it.

Ok Courtney...
