It’s not unfair - it is what it is. Just like all the folks who are arguing “this is human nature, this is natural” - well, guess what, it’s natural for other people to see you enacting human nature and call you an asshole for it. If they are thinking about only the advantages and privileges of their own families and

Yes! Everything is about race!

So human sexuality just magically triggers at age 18 and not a minute before?

Yeah, barring people from entering the store before age 18 actually contributes to the problem, IMO - it makes it as if women’s undergarments are something dirty and adult rather than simply thing women wear under their clothes to add support and smooth things out. If you’re a sexy lingerie store ehhh that’s one

1) AOWestern definitely did not say that

You picked the MOST conservative outfits you could find. I did marching band throughout high school and have seen lots of majorette’s uniforms - they don’t look anything like those. I’ve also seen many dance competitions (a cousin of mine was a competitive cheerleader and dancer throughout high school) and...yeah,

I came here to say this exactly. The journalists didn’t like her comment about not only benefiting from Trump but about them actually creating and perpetuating the monster that is him and his administration. He wouldn’t do the outlandish things he does if the media didn’t cover him obsessively. And they just proved it

I think the other part where people interpreted it that way is her saying “I loved you as Aunt Lydia in The Handmaid’s Tale, but that was definitely more about the context of that show and the parallels to SHS’s position in Trump’s administration.

In fact, she highlights that in the beginning - she makes a joke about whoever hired her not doing their research.

My husband and I love to play games together. We’re both lifelong gamers that got together partially on the basis on how much we play games, and we both work in the industry now. We both play together and watch each other play A LOT. (In fact, I’m watching him play Dad of War while I type this.)

Because maybe she was only able to score that 95 because of unfair advantages that she has in her life - advantages that mean that she’ll likely do well no matter where she goes - whereas the kid who scored 50 had to scrape and struggle to even get there, and the better school environment could be the difference

Your comment doesn’t make much sense.

Donald Trump started exploring a presidential run back in 2000, before they got married. He formed an exploratory committee for it. He also expressed interest in 2004, which was right around the time he got married to her.

That’s the other thing I’ve always thought about...I think Donald is more likely to leave most of his money to his kids. Melania may get a little cut but not a lot. Also, by all accounts, Trump has a lot less money than he’s bragged about and she may not even know how little he has. I don’t wish death on him, but I

Whenever I see people fomenting thoughts of sympathy for Melania - or, even worse, talking about some “Free Melania!” - I’m always baffled.

Not only is she a Trump, she’s a Trump who entered this liaison willingly and eagerly. Maybe she didn’t expect to be First Lady, but Donald has always been Donald.

My dad did that too. He used to nag me to drop out of my PhD program because he didn’t understand it and wanted me to just “get a job”. But now, he brgas to his friends about my PhD. Dude, wtf.

Stop it, then.

No we don’t. Other poc aren’t the ones who hold societal power in the United States. Arguing about which if us offended the other distracts from the power structures put in place by white supremacist systems and is also EXACTLY what racial categories were invented for. It’s playing right into their hands.

But you just proved the point.
