It was like someone decided stories of women being abused was good for ratings and they just ran with it.

Seemed like nearly every call from a woman ended with Dr Drew telling her to β€œseek help.”

Then he and Adam would speculate about what happened to her as a child that caused her to be so unhealthy that she was either hyper sexual or repressed.

When I watch it (briefly) on MTV everything a woman did was a sign she’d been sexually abused. Wanted to have sex? Didn’t want to have sex? Wanted to strip privately for her boyfriend? Didn’t want to undress in front of boyfriend? Abuse.

Logging on to tell you that the Mayo Clinic's annual profit is equal to HCMC's entire operating revenue.

However can we find the money to save our bedrock safety net hospital? πŸ€”

I hate when my need to demonstrate masculinity through voting for warmongers comes into conflict with my need to demonstrate masculinity through large, gas-guzzling vehicles. I hate it!

It seems like, despite what your husband said, they do NOT need to get the fuck out of the way.

Honestly how many tech smart boys intent on destroying humanity do I need to keep track of? Seems every week there’s a new nihilistic bro getting rich off the promise of a new way to burn it all down.

And sexist. Let’s not forget he said women are responsible for their own sexual assault. Back when he was a β€œkid” in his 30s

Guys who lean into the rugged masculinity look, talk tough and act as if only they have the answer to whatever the problem is generally are under qualified and thin skinned. Any pushback, advice or questions are an attack, β€œcancelling” or a threat.

Just my 2 cents

The last couple of decades of encountering guys who look and talk like this has trained me to believe β€œthreatened to rip my life apart” means some people pointed out that some of things about him might be an issue for voters.

Hi everyone who puts "nd" and "rd" and "th" after dates!

Amazing work. Dedication to the bit since the 5th century!

"Why aren't Minnesotans shopping here at Target anymore?"

A real mystery for Scooby Doo and the gang, for sure...

I learned BASIC and how to use a card reader in the late 70s when our tiny high school joined MECC. I spent hours after school flirting with what I now realize was college guys who were attempting to (I now realize) sext me.

I’ll be on any damn social media I want.

Quick reminder that everyone already knows her replacement will be as vile and dead inside as she is. It's ok to just...savor these moments. Let yourself have it. Let everyone have it. This is joy, and it doesn't last long. Don't make it shorter.

while we're on the subject: there is no online echo chamber that is within an order of magnitude as politically, socially, and epistemic ally distorting as the average red state affluent suburb. there are masses that yearn for your ministry, reach out to them!

Sure seems like it would buy a whole lot of everything without killing a whole bunch of everyone if we defunded the military.

Wow. Evan Ramstad shows almost as much distain for his readers as Target shows for their customers and employees.

Agreed. The past couple of years it’s been one unforced error after another at Target.

Having attended many weddings I can assure you that is exactly what was happening.
