The fact that his dad kept his mother in the dark about all of this, and the fact that he’s living with his mom now, does make me wonder what life was like at his dad’s place. But there weren’t really a lot of details to work with.

mmm idk. I think there is probably a lot more to this story than just “a dumb ol’ teenager ran away ahah but he was just chillin’ it’s all good now!” Reading between the lines, it sounds like home life was a bad situation.

His father wasn’t exactly beyond reproach either. He apparently didn’t bother to tell the non-custodial mother about her son until Aubrey had been gone a month. His mother might not have been the best, but she doesn’t deserve that.

As a parent, I can’t get behind the idea of my kid picking up and leaving at 15 without telling anyone. I’d be devastated if I had no idea where he was.

wow. nice of lebron to set the record straight and to let everyone here who had their pitchforks out and sharpened that in fact the news wasn’t sprung on lebron. he didnt have to to that, and at a time like this, that was incredibly gracious of him.

Sorry, but Pop is a goddamned national treasure. Nic Cage found a map to his house on the back of the Declaration of Independence.

Slate had a good article pointing out that explosive anger is reaching epidemic levels in men in America, as the only “rational” outlet for their frustrations since men aren’t encouraged to feel anything beyond rage and entitlement. It points out that we’ve basically designed a “mental illness” that fits our…

This problem is also in India where there is no one child policy. The issue is a countryside cultural problem instituted by backward thinking hillbillies.

Whatever happens, it probably won’t be good for women...

The USSR had a huge surplus of women post-WWII and the women there somehow managed to survive without trafficking men from other countries.  

Right? Misogynists are like a child who throws their favorite toy against the wall and breaks it because their mom asked them to pick it up off the living room floor before someone steps on it, and then start screaming about how their mom ruined their liiiiives.

Given the way the ‘alt-right’ in our country is seemingly fueled by the sexual frustrations of young men, it’s pretty frightening to think about what will arise in these countries when the problem is actually real rather than imagined. Whatever happens, it probably won’t be good for women...

To quote Flight of the Conchords, you gotta create some lady space.

the usual solution is war.

Which is ironic because she’s only sitting where she is today because of her father. No one would ever hire her if she was Jane Doe.

If anything, Hoover would be disappointed that Comey didn’t abuse his power hard enough.

J Edgar Hoover, the guy who tried to get Martin Luther King, Jr. to commit suicide? Yeah, I would hate for him to disapprove of me.
