They should both be paying if it’s a court ordered evaluation. But I agree with the rest. It’s part of the judge’s decision, but it does sound as though the judge has agreed to stick with supervised visits until this person says it’s ok.

Yes quite common. For them to at least do an evaluation and make a determination as to the best interest of the children. I will also note (from personal experience) that judges do not set supervised visitation lightly at all. Pitt’s team can suggest or imply whatever they like, the judge was concerned by what he…

Not if it’s your boss you don’t. If it’s a peer then yes. But not if it’s your boss because it’s inherently inappropriate and there might be all kinds of reasons you would not feel comfortable pushing back at your boss. It really does go without saying (especially at a university) that your boss should not make those…

Which is sadly somehow still news to some people.

Yep if it feels too good to be true then I’m going to fact check it. Like the supposed 1998 People magazine interview where Trump laid out his plan to capture Fox News voters because they were stupid. I’ve seen a lot of friends also point out when something was fake. The difference I saw was in the reaction.…

And meanwhile my banner ad on Jezebel right now is for a crisis pregnancy center. “Choices” where (spoiler!) the goal is to coerce you into not making the choice you want by misleading info.

Totally with you 100%. I oppose it because I know the system fucking sucks and is unfairly applied. If we could know? Like 100% we know the fucker did it? I’ve got no problems with it. Let’s do it!

This happened to me a couple of times when my now 14 year old was an infant. It was dead of winter in MI and it was super freaking cold. I was trying to get her out of her stroller and into the car seat and then get the stroller collapsed and into the car. I’d get her into the car seat and then do the stroller and…

I mean look I’m normally one to totally go with “there by for the grace of god go I.” I can remember sleep deprived days. I have caught myself going to work on a weekend because it’s just rote muscle memory or forgot I was goign to a doctor’s appointment instead. I totally get those cases. But this?! I mean shit yeah…

And Anita Hill and some other stuff.

I also work at a university and have mandatory sexual harrassment training modules etc and I’m not sure I agree at all that he hasn’t already crossed that line. I would strongly consider filing a formal complaint with the Title IX office and if they do not follow through then submitting a complaint to EEOC directly.

Yes! Most of the country’s black population is in the south in so called red states. I say so called because even MS was 40% for Hillary due in no small part to our 37% black population. In MS and countless similar states those voices are totally silenced by the winner takes all system. Even if we kept the EC we need…

No that’s not correct. Hillary won poor whites. Trump won uneducated whites. People seem to assume that’s the same thing but it’s not. The typical Trump voter made about $75k and is an uneducated white person. Poor whites voted for Hillary.

I thought we were being set up for the other student to also be male and was not sure how that was going to go.

He’ll actually likely get to write off the settlement to her especially if it’s alimony. If it’s income for her then it’s not income for him. So it just depends on how it’s structured/construed. He’s probably going to be able to write it off which makes him just more of a control freak dick to want to donate it…

I want to say that once business costs and other things were deductible she actually had less than $100k in income last year but my memory could be faulty. It might be a minor tax break for her, but it’s not a $7 mill tax break. That was my real point.

Yes I’ve seen discussion about whether any or all of it will be considered taxable income or not. That’s why I said “assuming it’s counted as income”. If it’s not counted as income at least she won’t owe taxes. However it would take her 56 years at her typical income level to be able to deduct it all. There’s no…

This was my exact response to the most recent crazy racist appointee. “Ok sure...I mean he’s not literally Satan.”

Truthiness in action. It feels true.

It won’t be though it will be the $7 mill (assuming it’s counted as income for her) and then just under $300k per her financials during the divorce. So she’ll be able to deduct about half of it and then she’ll owe taxes on the rest of the settlement despite not actually receiving any of the money. Hopefully her…
