Pretty sure they’re going to argue that he THOUGHT it was consensual b/c rape fantasies. As other commentators have pointed out, all the actual facts in the case point to him getting smeared into paint on a train.

I know. It’s so unbelievably infuriating, but also depressing at the same time. This whole situation reminds me one of Martin Luther King’s sermons: the ‘Drum Major Instinct’, specifically this section:

There’s this incredibly crazy thing in the Republican party; they take ideas that are actually not terrible (Spend less money on disposable goods, want less, and live within your means) and they express them in the most insulting, and least productive way. They use these not-terrible ideas to sell the masses on a big,…

I paid $100 for my phone. I just got a $150 dental bill, and I have dental insurance. Somehow, I think not getting the phone wouldn’t cover the bill. But what do I know, with my basic subtraction skills?

It’s like people that think buying a coffee every day is what’s preventing people from paying off their student loans, or buying a house, or...

Listen, maybe if you also stopped eating food and like wearing clothes and I dunno, driving places or paying for public transportation, you would have more money for healthcare?

Not to mention, why are you driving a car when you could take a bus? Or better yet, get a bike to go to your two jobs?

And Winona Ryder spent an entire decade relegated to b list supporting roles...for shop lifting.

Hey haters in the comment section... stfu and lemme be exciiiiiiiteddddd

These sorts of women have a simple approach: Men have most of the power and you can access these men by rejecting feminism, obsessing over the fragile fee fees of men in power and embracing “traditional femininity”.

So republicans?

A lot of Trump voters are tweeting at him and giving statements like “Don’t repeal Obamacare! It’s the only way I can afford health care!” And I just shake my head because for the entire election he said he would dump Obamacare. People are stupid. They voted him in for vague promises like ‘I’m going to drain the…

Is the first episode about Trump and his followers?

It’s so fine how far people will stretch the definition of “upper-middle” in a discussion like this.

Money confused the hell out of me as a child, but I really started to figure out the more concrete landmarks of class and affluence once I reached school and was interacting with a wider cross-section of children, but particularly when we got old enough to start getting input into the clothing we were wearing.

Ugh, so many people trying to one up each other on how poor they were. This is not fun.

Oh, I dunno, college, because my dad is wildly irresponsible and tells the same lies to everyone else as he does to himself and my mom enables his shit.

This topic really boils my blood and fuels parental resentment.

I always remembered my mom struggling with money but I don’t think I really got it until I did my first FAFSA and I think we were making less than 30k for a family of 3. This was 12 years ago but still that’s much. But I had another moment when I got a little older when my friend told me about growing up not always…

i was old, like... twelve and someone made fun of my purple kitten jogging suit and old person dollar store shoes. i got mad, i knew damn well my mama was proud of those shoes. I thought i was poor then, but the following year i transferred to a private school, which taught me how poor I really was. no regrets.
