Unfortunately, tracking IPs won't really do anything. It is trivial to get a new IP address through Tor, and I'm sure these trolls either know that already or will quickly figure it out when they are IP banned. The only thing you can do is go back to some kind of "greys" system where commenters are hidden by…

What site has figured it out? Most places don't let you post inline images in your comments so they don't have this problem. I can't think of a good solution, can you?

Yeah, it is pretty horrible right now. The only way they could fix it though would be to go back to something like before where most of the commenters were hidden by default and only the cool people could have their posts seen. Or they could hire people to manually approve every comment, which would be pretty…

No, not really. It is simple to get a new IP through Tor.

There's nothing they can do about it except dismiss as fast as they see it. Since Kinja lets anyone post visible comments, he can always keep making new accounts :-(

I would think that breach of contract would just let the parents sue the surrogate for money. They would still be responsible for the kid, in the same way that a father is responsible for a child that he didn't want and would have rather had aborted.

She probably signed some kind of release that says they can use her likeness for promotional materials. I know my dentist asks everyone to sign one.

Oh dang, nice call on that one.

It comes in little single use packets that you can keep in your purse.

Silicone based lube. You're welcome.

Also the only two woman to win a Turing award (like the Nobel prize for Computer Science): Barbara Liskov for inventing what would later be called object-oriented programming, and Shafi Goldwasser for pioneering modern cryptography.

Also like seven Resident Evil movies.

I bet they ran out of weird sex tips for straight couples and they are just now realizing that they can rehash everything for lesbians and drag their schtick out for another hundred issues. They had to start with the basic stuff because, you know, gotta pace yourself.

Yep, my bad. I read the Erin's statement and then skimmed the other article. You are correct.

It doesn't say players, it says employees.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for your take on it!

It says something bad about our society in general, I just don't really get what it says about the NFL. The majority of their employees are low-wage like ticket takers, concessions workers, etc, and there are a lot of them. Statistically, some of them will have committed domestic violence.

I want to be on board with this article, but Erin is grossly misrepresenting the analysis. First, it is not that the employees committed the assault during the most recent season, it is that during the most recent season 21 teams employed people that had, at one time in their lives, were charged with intimate…

I guess. I mean, in the same way that you are lucky you never caught a brain eating amoeba. It happens, but the chances are very, very small. It just ends up in the news when it does happen.

Good thing for us that water doesn't really go anywhere. It "takes" that much water to grow nuts, but then it just evaporates back into the air and goes somewhere else. It's very disingenuous to say that it "uses" up the water.
