I'm sure she's making all her money via stripping. I read an article about how C list reality stars and porn stars can make 5-10k a night travelling around the country to strip. I guess that's where the real money is for them. So she'll have a couple of years to really cash in, though something tells me she won't be…

I thought I was clear that I was only talking about personal situations.

Sorry for jumping in on your thread, but I thought this would be an interesting update and am in the grey, so I just took one near the top.

True, but as Kim Kardashian can attest, mocking and criticizing are giving attention just as much as anything else. The more people criticize coverage of her, the more coverage she will get since they're still commenting and paying attention.

It's because it's a best effort website rather than a news site. The writers have to churn out article after article to keep the site moving, and so the subjects are often just something the author happened to read.

No, because I have empathy, I can support someone without being able to emotionally understand. I also can't emotionally understand what it's like to be a woman who was raped.

I think you're overestimating how important I am. Granted, I'm pretty awesome, but my emotions don't dictate how society handles things.

As long as you're okay with reading flyers about diseased sluts that cheat on their men too...

This is the first I'm hearing about "made to penetrate" sexual violence.

Yeah, especially if it's something like "I'm not sure about online dating, but I thought I'd give this a try. I'm not good at talking about myself"...and then hardly anything else. Yeah, nobody likes writing profiles about themselves. Get over it.

I forgot about the coastline argument in cities on the ocean. That was based on the idea that floating plastic bags kill something like 100,000 marine animals a year. But it turned out that wasn't true. It was based on someone mistakenly using the numbers for fishing nets and applying it to plastic bags.

It's definitely conservative, but it's the only study I could find using existing cities.

It wasn't a joke or sarcasm. I added on to what you complained about with a specific situation that's used over and over in movies and TV.

If you had a dog, you'd probably think differently. Every city has multiple dog scooping businesses because people's back yards get so filled with poop.

Politics and activism don't wait for good results.

Bullshit. I disagreed with Lindy all along, but she gave a good faith effort at arguing her point. She didn't call people who tell rape jokes rapists. In fact, she wrote an article about "how to tell a rape joke" (which I found very unconvincing but shows she wasn't even saying rape jokes are off limits). She also…

Yes, you guys were at the forefront of bad ideas.

I was criticizing the arch use of AAVE in movies and TV as a joke. Seems like we're on the same side of this argument.

Agreed. Nikki Cox is supposedly very nice, so Milano was probably just being gracious.

I'm also sick of the "stiff white guy uses 'black' slang" joke. It should've gone out with Rappin' Granny.
