And yet you are participating in it in the least constructive, most obnoxious way possible.

Of course US tipping culture sucks, but it’s what’s in place right now, and not participating in it isn’t an interesting intellectual exercise or protest, it just makes you look like a prick.

Morality and legality are two separate things. Are you really an adult in 2019 and don’t understand this? Apologies if you’re actually 14.

Sorry, but you’re putting too much credit into the mindset of Drumpfheads. Avennti falls under the same bullshit asshole category who occasionally says bad things about Drumpf as Bill Maher does.

Oh come on. Avenatti is an out of control narcissist, a crook and judging by the phone call he made to @Popehat (which he has since claimed wasn’t really him) possibly unstable. Is it possible that the feds were especially quick to act on a tip from Nike because of who the subject was? Sure. But I also don’t think…

The Southern Poverty Law Center, too. Such a wrenching disappointment.

My heart just crashed. We will need brave providers to step up and fill the void. Disappointment is not a word that does adequate justice to what I am feeling right now. My heart goes out to Ms. Russell and his other victims.

I always thought the reason people enjoyed him was because it was watching scum go after scum, (what can I say, we all love a spectacle), so I don’t know why people are surprised that the law’s caught up with him.

Gotta disagree hard on this one. IMO Jagged Little Pill holds up as a top 10 90s album. It’s a viscerally angry album and Alanis is SO GOOD at getting her emotions across.

Yes, I think this is the root of the problem. As a woman, I have felt consistently dismissed by doctors most of my adult life. I have found them unwilling to explore my issues, instead basically dismissing them as me being tired or depressed. Well, yes I am tired and depressed, but can you help me figure out WHY? Why…

The healthcare industry is at least partially responsible for this. While the science behind vaccines is ironclad, pharmaceutical companies do routinely get over on doctors, patients, and the FDA. They market their latest drugs directly to the public for profit’s sake, and don’t give a single shit about safety or…

Hopefully she will go to jail

FIFY.

protested the school’s “disrespect” for students’ First Amendment rights.

And I love people who think that because they get their insurance through their workplace that they don’t actually pay for it. “How would universal health care be paid for?!” Uh, the same way healthcare is paid for now, it’ll come out of your paycheck. Just as taxes (and probably a lot less) instead of as a “benefit”…

This is the correct take. Also, just for added measure, Nicholas Sparks can go fuck himself. I hate that schlocky, sappy nonsense. Come at me legion of fans who are clearly out there because these terrible movies keep getting made of these terrible books, I will not budge. 

Having gotten stuck taking off the sports bra I keep for emergencies as recently as last week, I feel so seen. 

As a commenter who clicked on this, I feel I need to make clear that I clicked for Dirt Bag NOT because there was a Kardashian story in the headline.

Let me add to this to the above, though, and i think this is important. Believing victims is critical because we want that show of support to future victims. It’s imperative that they come forward when something happens to them. Completely discounting even WEIRD events is what keeps victims from reporting abusers. A…
