  • I'll maintain it's a false premise on your part. The trump-epstein files are covered as a whole right now, parties aside, anyone committing crimes documented in there should be investigated and prosecuted. I've not seen any on the left who speak against that. Outside of the files, with even the appearance of impropriety, Democrats typically lose their whole careers, even when they are otherwise important to the movement, e.g.Al Franken.

    This blind spot doesn't exist. What you're responding to is likely the combination of your own social algorithms and the general lack of major perpetrators on the Democratic side RELATIVE to the republicans that Chiron them out like on a factory line - that's speaking outside of this epstein moment, which again, no decent person has defended anyone in the files and especially not due to political affiliation.

    Finally, any lack of clarity of information you feel is also just due to trump/bondi obfuscation of the files in the first place. If they were all released and could be analyzed and lists made, there would be no lack of discussion on all perpetrators. And you better bet that the rest I'd the three million files being withheld are predominately crimes of trump and republicans that they'll try so hard to continue hiding that they'll unilaterally start a way in the US' name without support of its people or Congress.

  • All perpetrators of sexual assault should see consequences for their crimes.

    The reason YOU FEEL there is a blindspot for perpetrators with involvement in the Democratic party is because it is so absolutely, devastatingly one sided to those in, around and otherwise adjacent to the GOP and, by extension, the church.

    So make all the odd sub declarations you need to make, it's a waste of energy. The link off at the end of my post goes to literally 1000s more examples.

  • There is only one thing the gop loves more than LOUD projection and that's abusing kids. The party of the grand ol' pedophiles


    • NOTE: I'm probably reaching the character limit, so here's a website with a list with over 1000 of these republican shit stains on humanity.

  • She calls me "Bill Hoffman" and I call her "Bill Hoffman's wife"

  • Oh hey, don't worry, there aren't jobs to get anymore. Solved problem!

  • What do you compromise these days going to something like graphene versus a stock pixel? I know the advantages obviously, just wanting clarity on trade offs. Features that become unusable, vulnerabilities, etc.

  • The Weeks or Against Me!

  • Alright, prove it. Fingerprint him.

  • That's not the rock?

  • There were also the two obvious things that actually mattered to the outcome of that election that you just didn't menton at all?

  • 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.

  • We don't want a fight. We want a second Nuremberg trials. And then we want the superrich taxed out of existence, crawling by as lowly "very rich", if they aren't convicted in those trials that is.

  • What a powerful free endorsement of anthropic...

  • 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!

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

  • Needs instructions for in person pickup.

  • You think that's crazy, how about the fact that we have the tech to record and remotely view the conversation you two had from anywhere in the world. Computers, man...
