The Title IX process is shitty, don’t believe otherwise. Katie JM Baker (Jezebel alum!) wrote about this two years ago for Buzzfeed and I am struggling to dig up the article, but not all Universities apply Title X complaints in fair or transparent ways, to the victim or the accuser. Most are just treating the process…

Except she doesnt have that right if the platform she wants to stream on doesn’t allow that.

This is basically me, although Twitch also has every right to remove whatever content they want. We don’t have to be happy about it, but they do have every right.

I’m undecided.

Again, only poor moms are normal moms. If you started a family when you were financially able to care for children, and maybe got lucky and got a job with amazing benefits, then you are abnormal and should apologize to every other mother around you. Freak.

I took that as her kids wake her up? I know my 7 year old wakes us up at 6:30 on the weekends.

if you are not poor you are moming wrong.

“And then we go out to the park and we swing, we try to do a lot of activities because my little Leonore, she has lots of energy, so we have to keep her stimulated and busy.”

That might be remotely relevant if it had all happened in one big maritime disaster.

Every country has borders. Please do not deceive yourself that POC would be any more welcoming.

I feel the same way about this. Him placating her with a proposal after perhaps a few nights of feeling as though she was going to bail on the relationship doesn’t make for a good marriage. Proposals should be based on a mutual desire to be married, not because one party starts stomping their feet about it.

I understand protests of all kinds: shutting down interstates/intersections, marches, sit-ins, etc. But what I always have a hard time understanding is the destruction/looting of businesses in the area.

Is this game fun to play? Is it a good game?

I recall that there were plenty of people who said maybe we should pump the brakes on this story since parts of it aren’t adding up. Granted, those people were tarred and feathered on Jezebel and Gawker, but they certainly existed. One particular person was roundly ridiculed for daring to question the story and…

Agreed. I mean, “Jackie” is clearly a lying nutjob but precisely because she’s a lying nutjob and a college student, the entirety of the blame for this shit-show lies with Rolling Stone.

you shoulda heard merlan when she defended the article.

Even people with journalism degrees from Columbia.

Seriously. It is fucking insane to ask cops to not prioritize their safety.

I remain highly skeptical yet open-minded regarding this case, because if the kid pulled a gun on the officer that thing looks real and dangerous.
