“The control he had to hurt his own daughter, he loved it. I worked seven days a week ... it was like sex trafficking. I didn’t have a credit card, cash or my passport.”

I would think if she has been in therapy for 13 years and things still are hard for her I would question if she is seeing the right person or has the right diagnoses.

It does feel like the dancing circus bear is finally able to speak for itself and confirm life has been just as awful as it looked. 

My computer disagrees.

What floors me here is that there was never goal or process for her to get more control of her life.  She was in a really terrible place and needed the conservatorship at the time, but she should have had a path to earn more control over her life.  She should also at anytime be able to veto the person who is…

Yes I’m replying to my own comment, but it’s just instead of creating a whole new one. But seriously, how do we as a people allow the police such a low level of accountability? It’s insane. They are not gods. They are not heroes, not by default, anyway. They are not infallible, and if anything, since the widespread…

In any other line of work, taking photos of someone’s remains and sharing them with friends and coworkers would have you out on your ass so fast. My wife is a surgeon and my best friend works for a crematorium and deals with corpses all the time. If either of them did this, their jobs would be gone in a second. But of…

You’d think that if ever there were a time to film in fucking landscape it’d be when filming an extremely long and horizontal moving object.

Mr. Bieber’s outfit is largely fine

Where I live (a small town near Sedona) the regional economy is driven by tourism. The industry is suffering from a lack of employees eager to return to crappy, low paid hotel and restaurant jobs. The common complaint is "nobody wants to work!" Not so. They just don't want to work for *you*. Having spent years in the…

Until companies and managers start protecting their employees, and ditch the inaccurate and outdated model of “The customer is always right,” this is just the beginning. The years I spent working retail included being screamed at almost daily by people because Oprah’s latest promoted book had sold out within five…

Pierce Brosnan seems to have developed a fun post-Bond career. Happy for him.

It seems so weird to drop in the actual winner at the French open like “See, nobody even cares that she won!” It’s like the site can’t decide if it’s the actual play that matters, not the media attention or actually the media attention is what makes the players, so nobody cares if an “uninteresting” player wins.

Can we talk about how unrecognizable Glazer is with that flattened shoulder-length hair?

She does and she doesn’t. Your points determine your ranking, which determines your seed (who you play—high-ranked players play low-ranked players in early rounds) and the cut-off for entry into tournaments without having to play qualifiers (sort of a pre-tournament, where the winners can then play in the tournament…

It does feel a little bit like if the UK press went “The Australian Open Needs Andy Murray” when he withdrew from it and much of the casual audience outside the UK probably went “who’s Andy Murray?”

This reads like a seventh grade book report. D+

*smacks the story out of your hand*

I have found that denying an entitled asshole the very thing they want drives them up the fucking wall.

That stupid racist asshole wanted to provoke a fight. Punching her in the face (however satisfying) would have given her what she wanted which is a confrontation where she could play the martyr/victim.
