  • This article works WAY too hard to frame this as a maybe. He is without a doubt abusing this system for cash, degrading public trust in justice, re-victimizing victims and letting emboldened Donald back to prey on the public.

  • Too old? But didn't you see Kamala Harris launched Project 6-7 or whatever the other day. She probably even smelled a jazz cigarette!

  • What's your most unbelievable (but true) personal story?

  • I was in charge of the cheese section at a major gourmet grocery store that you know the name of. When I say in charge, it was more the product curation, ordering and in-store "marketing" than the scheduling, conflict management and the more tedious stuff. But I'd do things like set the demo program throughout the store, "design" the cheese case and be the person that was called over as the "expert" when folks with too much money and too little knowledge wanted to feel like they knew what they were talking about.

    There was a pleasant, young woman who was a regular customer, none of the negatives of above, but definitely seemed to have enough money to buy anything and everything I'd recommend without even a feigned concern or a cursory glance at the prices. I didn't know it myself, but I was eventually told by others that woman was Mandy Moore (a very well known pop star and actress, but in maybe a slower point in her career).

    I guess one day, my day off, someone noticed her waiting in the section, offered to help her and she politely refused and stayed where she was. They'd send other employees after a bit and she'd again politely decline help, but just stayed in the section "like she was waiting for something" and just line of half-browsing for a noticeably longer time. Eventually she went back up to the original person that tried to help her and asked if a specific employee was available to help her (with her giving a more generous description of me, as I'm told). She was told I wasn't working that day and I guess she left without buying anything from the section.

    So maybe that was a day that could have lead to a much different life had I been working? I resigned from the store pretty soon after as it was actually my 2nd job and I couldn't sustain the hours of both anymore. But the funniest part is that other employee that Ms. Moore was asking about me would eventually become my wife years later :)

  • Who were some of your childhood heroes that turned out to be horrible people?

  • Not sure what "broscience" you're referencing, but there structure of the show was very transparent -Drew was an actual doctor, board certified addiction treatment specialist and got his start volunteering in hospitals during the aids crisis. That's when he was told about loveline and he wanted the opotunity to spread awareness.

    Adam was unapologetically an unqualified comic relief. But of course, his role was to represent the unqualified "everyman" with Drew there to moderate and correct back to empirical fact and best practice. But he also listened and learned over the years. With time he did better saying the actual right thing a lot of the time through shear repetition. But that was part of the problem.

    Eventually, like the problem with smartphones in general, he started to think that simply because he HAD certain knowledge, that he had actually EARNED it. He got more popular than Drew, I think that ultimately crushed Drew's spirit because, along with a lot of good, he was a BIG narcissist. Realized he couldn't get the respect or pay that Adam did after 20 years of schooling, sacrifice and he just checked out and became a turbo grifter.

    Adam gradually removed anyone from his life that would criticize or remind him that he wasn't an expert (literally documented day by day in his radio show and podcasts) and he finally became a monster on an entirely different level. Genuinely think with him the change was so abrupt because of CTE. He played a lot of football in the valley in the 70s/80s where nobody carted about safety, and then he boxed in the same era. He just must have had so many head injuries. I hope they study his broken brain when he dies so there can be a little relief in framing his 180.

  • Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew on Loveline.

    HOLY SHIT... Did those two unimaginably broken people take, at first different, but eventually converging, paths to the deepest part of hell.

    Both irredeemable pieces of garbage.

  • People with old, dead, rotten brains recognize his Dad and Uncle's name. It reminds them vaguely of a time when their own father's were in charge of all the hard decisions, their joints didn't hurt and they had an undefined future that could have been wonderful. That future has come though and turns out they are just themselves... they failed, nothing fun they wanted really happened and everything confuses them now. They feel like frauds about to be found out and forgotten at the same time.

    So seeing something they think they recognize voting for "a Kennedy" makes them indirectly fell that their own Dad will magically come back to life, tell them he's proud and then they will be millionaires and attractive people will want to have have sex with them and fix their iPhones.

    It's just that.

  • Very clarifying. Thank you

  • Trump-appointed judge 'quickly' blocks admin from destroying evidence in new DHS killing

    Jump

  • I appreciate the expansion. Again though, we go to court to convict an accused murderer and the judge/jury rules eventually, but is there a preliminary statement by the judge in every case to reestablish for the record, the illegality of murder as an act?

    My point is that it feels odd that there isn't established law that states this clearly prior to the act where a judge is required to make a preliminary statement like this, where they wouldn't with a murder charge in my experience.

  • Nobody said "words are crimes"? You sound like an eternal victim with that nonsense. Keep doubling down and leaning on that garbage though and watch when you magically end up included in the next group of targeted "illegals".

    Go read, "first they came for".

    You're an "illegal" everytime you drive 1 mph over the speed limit, jaywalk or miss the trash can with since garbage that falls to the floor.

  • Trump-appointed judge 'quickly' blocks admin from destroying evidence in new DHS killing

    Jump

  • Again, how is there not precedence in law of or being illegal to alter or destroy evidence? You have a confident response by tone, but respectfully, I don't hear any substance you've offered?

    It's as if a judge explicitly ruled that murder is illegal... Nice to reestablish, Y but yes, that's established. I'm just trying to understand what this does distinctly?
