like i'm sorry but sometimes you are going to have to live with the guilt of not knowing! sometimes you are going to have to deal with the fact that had previously thought well of them before you found out they were an abuser!

i am also not okay with the way people seem to play detective by hunting for clues that somehow should've told us this person was abusive. a lot of abusers get away with what they do because they are good at covering it up. it doesn't help victims to pretend that there are always signs.

Forensics is cop shit and thus mostly lies like all cop shit. The amount of absolute vibes-based bullshit that's been presented as "science" in a court of law would shock the conscience of Satan herself.

Hello social medias...

You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.

You can help and make a difference:

If you cannot clearly identify enemies, as neither of these parties can, you will be manipulated by someone else who does.

A fun political thought of the day: Republicans have so built themselves for conflict that they will invent enemies if they can't find someone who wants a fight. Democrats have so built themselves for compromise that they will invent victims if they can't find someone who deserves consideration.

We can graciously admit we were wrong, learn a lesson, apologize, try to make it right as best as possible, rebuild and allow healing to occur or we can do what the American military has trained far too many american families to do which is cover it up and learn to take the damage.

I resent that geeks feel like they won the culture wars because they didn't, they LOST everything too. Disney won. Whenever you get more popular Disney buys you and you lose. You can NOT get too popular. That is a mistake for shitheads that want to be loved. That is not what subculture is ABOUT.

I don't belong to any cool counter culture groups. The closest I ever was to fitting into one was when the nerds were still treated like dogshit because they were scrawny little assholes who played dungeons & dragons. That was me. And frankly, choice of games aside, it still basically is.

Honestly? A lot of it was that I found no joy in what the folks I worked with were constantly talking about — infidelities in the car dealership class, paleo politics, or the absolute laziest and most dogshit CFB takes. I wanted someone to absolutely make me feel dumb. This community does it daily.

It’s interesting, because I’ve said before (and meant it) that I have become a more thoughtful and aware person since becoming Online, but it isn’t because I engaged in dialogue — I just discarded old ideas and adopted new ones through osmosis.

You're telling me countercultural power was ceded away by people too wrapped up in petty ressentiments to realize they were being milked??? You're saying in letting themselves be steered by their hate they ended up right back where they started!? Perish the thought!

A much more minor benefit of not giving yourself so completely to hate that you destroy everything you love and claim to believe in, is that you end up with a lot of it left in the tank

I genuinely wonder how many people subscribing to that former idea think that because it's how they think and they can't help but solipsistically project their pitiful methods of divining morality and experiencing the world onto everyone else

Some of you should really ask yourselves, before staking your Hot Takes in the sand: “how would I be comfortable being wrong about this?” Like, would you rather have to eat crow because you’re passionate about protecting women? Or because you refused to believe that a YA writer could be a creep?

Moving on, punks can be great unless they're the types who think "community" means to normalize intrusion and mooching so much that part of being a friend is casually screwing over everyone around them, or the types who let corrections officers and rapists hang out if they're "chill."
