That lady looks like she weighs about 100 pounds.

Do you have to work at being this big an asshole or do you come by it naturally?

Reading is fundamental;

Becker’s attorney Thomas Rooke told MassLive.com that Becker received such a lenient sentence because anything harsher would have impeded his chances of having a college experience in Ohio.

So does the fact that he merely played high school sports make him sufficiently privileged to make him, his lawyers, and the judge appropriate targets for an online shame campaign?

And here’s the shit stain to whine about “sjws”. Using that term is pretty much like shooting off a flare that spells out “I’m a worthless asshat” in big red letters 300 feet tall.

Law student here (obviously). I’ve personally watched an 18 year old African American boy be charged with and convicted of sexual assault, and thereby required to register as a sex offender under Megan’s law, all because he was reported by the parents of his 15 year old girlfriend/classmate after they didn’t approve…

Prosecutors recommended that the three-sport athlete be found guilty, MassLive.com reported, on two counts of indecent assault and battery. The recommended sentence from the Hampden County District Attorney’s Office was two years in prison.

I don’t know that playing sports makes him an appropriate target for shaming but the whole sexual assault thing seems like it comfortably clears the bar.

Well, it made him privileged enough to skate out of a felony conviction.

Keep on minimizing sexual assault. You’re doing great.

I think the whole “bad food is cheap” thing is one of the reasons Americans are so overweight. Ever see a coupon for fresh fruits and veggies? Me neither. But I can easily find coupons for mayonnaise, frozen TV dinners, and Lays potato chips.

Because we should be having babies instead of periods? #sarcasm

I’ve never understood why basic sanitary supplies designed to keep us from bleeding all over everything would still be considered luxury or non-essential.

I share articles like this with Mr Safety. He does not see the advantage of buying non-perishables on sale or in bulk (and on sale). He only looks at the immediate cost. I’ve no idea what happened to him as a child as he comes from an upper class family. I, however, came from a very poor family so articles like this…

And those are subject to sales tax (usually as a luxury or non-essential item) in most US states...

The banking travesty is absolutely ridiculous. I cannot figure out why it’s legal for banks to charge the insane fees that they do on trivial actions. Due to a keying error by BofA, they overdrafted my account by 63 cents.... and charged me $35 to be overdrawn. So like, 5,555% of the overdraft. But since I’m a…

And lets not forget the high cost of tampons/pads, menstrual cups, etc...

This breezes right past some of the larger problems, like owning an older car which has a greater need for repairs, living in a poorer neighborhood where there are only small, more-expensive markets, buying clothes that are less durable. Nutrition also suffers because there are fewer choices and less “healthy” food…

As always, Marx was correct. Capitalism feeds off the least vulnerable in favor of the bourgeoisie.
