  • I’m impressed that he actually researched the issue, and from non-extremist sources, too! This has got to be a difficult, frightening thing for any parent, so he’ll need as much patience and reassurance as possible. He sounds like he’s definitely worth it.

  • Without context, that statement would make me nervous, too. Given the rest of what he said, though, it seems to me like he means “unbiased” the way you or I would.

  • preliminary

    I knew this word would appear. Either that or “temporary”.

  • Hey, this hypothesis sounds as good as any.

    Some individuals more than others.

    You have no idea. A friend of mine is going through a failed marriage. The husband’s mom thinks everything would just be fine if my friend was more “submissive” and just put up with the husband’s aggressive, temperamental, immature bullshit. The mom has been a doormat her whole life, and wonders why my friend can’t simply throw her self respect away and do the same. It’s equal parts infuriating and sad.

  • Good job. I think that talking things out is always better than the “silent treatment”, which just builds resentment on both sides.

  • He has no sense of humor. Not a loss in any way.

  • I know shitposts are jokes, but sometimes jokes raise real questions. I’m not judging you or anyone else.

  • That’s why I laughed. Not at either of them exclusively, but because they’re both being idiots.

  • The uncommunicative wife/oblivious husband stereotypes have existed for longer than I can remember. Is there any validity to them? They don’t seem like particularly healthy ways to deal with a problem.

  • This site doesn't rate articles. It rates news sources.

    That is an extremely important distinction! Thanks!

    Edit: that wasn’t sarcasm. I honestly think it’s a valuable thing to know and remember.

  • I’d like to know more about the situation. Did he eat them all at once? Was it years of “I’ll bet you I can eat this nail”? Was it intended as some weird health thing?

  • You make a thoughtful argument. If you haven’t already, I suggest reading up on jury nullification to add even more depth to the situation.

    Murder is wrong, but it doesn’t have to be an endless cycle of violence if the jury agrees that the situation leading up to it was unjust to begin with.

  • Why would I?

    Just felt like repeating this. It sums up my opinion so nicely. Most of the time, I won’t even give MAGAts the satisfaction of a downvote.

  • Regardless, I like the message a lawsuit would send. Fucking with the press takes things to a new level.

  • The wire service has repeatedly signaled that it is preparing a legal challenge. As one AP staffer remarked on condition of anonymity, “It’s hard to come up with a clearer case of viewpoint discrimination.”

    Good. I’m glad they’re not just going to silently accept this shit. The Associated Press is one of the most reliable and well respected news sources in the world. I’m hoping Trump’s hissyfit backfires tremendously.

  • He was born rich. His family owns (or owned) an emerald mine in South Africa. He then invested in/bought a bunch of companies. Although he likes the reputation as a genius innovator, he never invented anything.

  • Even though the bad stuff is bad (I’m not even talking “so bad it’s good”, but just plain awful), I’m still glad A24 is around. They support unique, creative, and highly original filmmaking that we just don’t get enough of.

    (A lot of their stuff is available for streaming on Max, which is how I found them.)

  • I didn’t realize that he only owns 13% of the company.
