Times Square has the highest grouping of supportive housing and homeless services in the city... My first thought was, God I hope neither person was a former client of mine back when I worked in mental health at one of those PSH units.

Yes, they did. We generally agree on the issues, but you seem to have a fundamental lack of understanding about how police procedure works- as well as why it should work in such a specific way.

I know you get very SJWy at times, but slevin is right here from a criminal procedure background. If there was any doubt, the proper method is to restrain and then determine. THAT’S one of the things that make so many of the shooting cases do fucked up- there are many other steps to de-escalate/stop a situation before…

I was 7. Hahaha

I bought a Milky Way from a vending machine at school once and my teacher told me I couldn’t eat it until after class. I stuffed the whole thing into my mouth when she wasn’t looking, but of course she noticed and took me out into the hallway where she asked me if I had eaten the candy bar, and with my mouth full of…

I’m not talking about organizations THEY run (by the way, think you’re conflating the Church and religiously-affiliated organizations there... Very different things), I’m talking about organizations without affiliation who benefit from donations that Catholic-affiliated groups and individuals give. You can talk…

Oh definitely agreed. I am not defending the church (though I do like the Jesuits and the Franciscans, and most orders of nuns are pretty legit), I am defending those in the church who believe in charity and volunteerism as an act of faith, because those people overwhelmingly donate to organizations that provide for…

I am telling you, from my personal experience, that we receive far more donations and grant money from catholic charities and organizations than we do secular. I don’t like it- again, I don’t practice. But the church isn’t as holistic as it name makes it sound and there are lots of people who do use it as a moral…

Oh come on. I’m a former Catholic and now atheist, and I’m disgusted by allegations of abuse. But religious groups, especially Catholic ones, contribute substantial amounts to charities and non profits and that money can keep an organization and thus its clients afloat. Signed, a social services worker primarily…

Mmm I hate the idea that sucking your thumb is a problem. It messes up your teeth when you’re younger, but it’s not this terribke shameful baby thing. I still wake up sometimes with my thumb in my mouth, even though I didn’t go to sleep that way. And after being so embarrassed for years, I finally brought it up to my…

No. It’s still poor understanding, as your “knowledge” is pure speculation right now and certainly can’t be put into past tense yet.

Yo, maybe calm down a notch? If you read the whole blurb/linked article you’d know that they are decidedly NOT saying it was made up, rather that the security was terrible. Stop being a dick and try to gather an iota of compassion/reading comprehension.

I had a nanny. Was still “raised” by my parents, who were both full time workers. Be a little less condescending and bitter maybe.

Same. And I used it in sexting the other day and didn’t even notice until later...

Is the “r word” “racist”? Because calling a spade a spade isn’t exactly worthy of taking on that euphemism. Especially when we already have a real “r word,” and especially when the people who tend to freak out the most about being called racist are the ones who actually are...

You’ve clearly never traveled vey far before. Yes, often getting a visa means giving the embassy your passport info. Sometimes, in countries with high theft rates (like Brazil), they suggest you get copies of your passport to have on your person. Those copies need to be verified by the embassy in order to count as…

The classy ones wouldn't, but the classy ones already look down on the RHONY women.

Before a meet? Why would they put that into their bodies during the Olympics? Your thousand bucks make no sense

It's actually a podcast- two women talk about their obsessions with murders and not getting murdered. It's very funny.

There’s an episode of “my favorite murder” about it, and while the hosts often get details a little wrong, they do a lot of research and the case against him sounded SO shady.
