“they didn’t choose it” sounds a lot like “they can’t help it”. And “they can’t help it” still makes it sound like it’s a bad thing.

Somewhat related to the topic, when people ask if being gay is a choice, I say that the correct answer is “no it’s not”, but I think an even better answer is “so what if it was”? I just never understood why some people care so much about others being intimate with members of the same sex. Seriously, how does it affect…

Sure, because that carpool karaoke segment with James Corden was heavily edited post-production. Not her real voice at all.

Not to mention swearing up and down that she wasn’t wearing any makeup at all. I’m going to make a generalization here, but most men (or people that don’t wear makeup often, if ever) don’t know the difference between legit no makeup face and a made up “no makeup” face.

It’s amazing that that her neighbors/doormen remember exactly what Heard’s skin looked like on an specific day more than a week prior. And how observant they are that they were able to do a quick scan for bruises beneath makeup as she walked by. No amount of evidence she can provide would possibly compete with that…

Does she think rapists spend all their non-rape time kicking puppies and twirling their mustaches while cackling?! I suppose it’s more comforting to believe that evil is always legible.

note: I haven’t seen the movie and I am not differently abled.

So I agree that it’s bullshit to have mugshots shown for some people and not for others. But for rape, I kind of wish all of the photos were of the smiling, yearbook type. There’s this perception that rapists are different - not your neighbor or your boyfriend or your brother. But they are. And the more we see that a…

That’s all the son thinks he did wrong too. He blames binge drinking and sexual promiscuity. Wonder where he got that.

“By having people like Brock educating others on college campuses is how society can begin to break the cycle of binge drinking and its unfortunate results.” - holy shit, does he really think the only lesson anyone should take away from this is not to binge drink??? How about DON’T RAPE

Takes a lot less than 20 minutes to kill someone, and you don’t see murderers trying to pull this excuse.

20 minutes out of a life is actually a really long time to violate someone when you consider that you can kill in seconds. Time isn’t indicative of harm.

“and that he will “never be his happy go lucky self [sic]” again.”

I read an article that said the only european language that Basque has any connection to is FInnish, I may have confused that with Finnish being pre indo-european.

I think the same thing happens with minorities... I’ve heard “half the class was foreign students” comment, when like statistically at the school they made up of about 15% of the student body.

I think it also explains why “diversity” seems to be a low bar... like 2, or 3 minorities and people perceive the group to be…

Damn! I love it when they lay the smack down. Once, out at the range, a visiting officer commented on how there were "so many women out here." There were exactly four of us. We pretty much just rolled our eyes and were like "Yes, sir."

Penelope Cruz is Spanish. I wouldn’t call her a WoC, like you wouldn’t call an Italian woman a WoC.

Entourage = cockblockers

He said something about her having an entourage, which everyone else who’s worked with her says she doesn’t.

For me, it was when I read ancient mythology as a kid and had this epiphany that the Greek and Roman and Norse tales were basically just explanations about life and death by a primitive people for a primitive people.
