Right?!!!! I have a bipolar brother who is a recovering addict and I take antidepressants to help with my migraines, neither of us would be doing well if we just threw away our meds. Both of us would probably have hurt ourselves by now.

It gives me chills to think about that. Like, Ariel Castro had three women captive in his house and people went in and out of that house and never suspected a thing! His neighbors didn’t know. His daughter, who was a friend of one of the victims, didn’t know. It’s just so crazy, I can’t wrap my mind around it.

I cannot imagine the abject horror of finding out one day that your partner, whom you loved and trusted and built a life with, is a sexual predator who rapes children. She seems a lot more together than I suspect I might be after such a revelation, even a year later.

Has anyone ever talked to his first wife? Her name is Elizabeth Christie and she worked as a pediatric nurse. They were married for five or six years before divorcing in 2007.

Don’t ignore your gut feeling. Several years ago, I dropped my daughter off at preschool and ran into the new summer teacher who I hadn’t met before. I instantly felt something was off about him. He made me uncomfortable. Turns out, he molested nearly all of the girls in the class that summer. One of the only reasons…

She’s sort of preoccupied with keeping a monsterclown out of the oval office, so I am going to give her a tiny break on this; she can’t afford to spend that political capital right now. Obama? He has no such fucking excuse, as this wouldn’t cost him anything. This is the new Keystone, and he’s going to try to squeeze…

Actually when I was a prosecutor, I’d push for sentences like this all the time. The point is: he’ll agree the to deal. Rape cases are always tricky to prosecute. It gets them a lengthy sentence when they violate probation...which they do often.

I’m so sorry for your family, especially your grandfather. It’s so hard when it’s someone in your family that you love and trust. My aunt’s brother-in-law was convicted of child molestation, and it’s almost a certainty that he abused my cousin when he was a child. My aunt was always too afraid to confirm this,…

I am so profoundly disappointed in Obama’s cowardly response to this outrage. He could halt construction while the Army Corp of Engineers completes its study on rerouting the pipeline. But that would put the government on the side of citizens over oil, and that’s a dangerous precedent, apparently! Total CHICKEN-SHIT.…

He was sentenced to ten years in prison, with eight of them suspended.

What an awful thing to uncover about someone you love and trust. I hope she can find peace.

I can relate, a similar thing happened to my family. The police knocked down the door to my Grandparents house and arrested my cousin for child pornography. Devastated the whole family, especially his siblings, but my Grandpa took it the worse. His health was already declining at that point (he was 92 and had…

Holy mother of pearl. Real consequences to the sports ball game for grossly sexist and dehumanizing behavior.

It’s so unfair when shitty actions have consequences. :(

I wish developers who create things with strong implicit biases, could just admit they did so with bias involved. As humans, certain experiences make it very easy to create things that cater specifically narrow standards, right?

I feel like admitting that we are flawed and can always do better, is way more acceptable…

Fair points.

“She wants to look self-important?”

That you feel the need to come on here and pat yourself on the back on a Cubs post is the most Sox fan inferiority complex thing ever. Cheers.
