    Her entire position on prison is that women are the most disenfranchised so trans women should not be allowed in women prisons, what the focus should be on is preventing rape and violence of trans women by men in men's prisons.  that's THE most absurd thing I've ever heard.  if she wants to cherry pick a few stories about perverts that's fine, but holy shit, do you know what my nightmare is?  being wrongly convicted of a crime and being sent to a male prison.  I can't even.

     

    i haven't listened to the podcast and have no idea who Julie is, but this paragraph is quite disturbing to me...i cannot imagine the terror and danger of that (sending a trans woman to a male prison). honestly seems inhumane. one could argue the merits of a separate ward in a female prison, but ^that would be the worst. jeez.

    This woman would be an excellent Senator from West Virginia.  This is the kind of representation West Virginians should have.  Not Joe MAnchin.  

     

     

    yes but is your average West Virginian smart enough to realize that?

  3. they have obviously spent tons of time in Europe, even lived there most assuredly. i didn't find it that jarring.

    so their general family timeline...

    Connor was from his first wife... have we met her? is she living? there's obviously a big gap bt him and the others...they all have the same mother, right? the British one? and Roman's the baby?

  4. those jumping spiders are so cute, and you're right in that they check you out! 

    um i think at least one of the above needs an asterisk lol

    i am not at all afraid of spiders, they're fascinating and almost completely beneficial. if i see one in the house i always try to catch it to move it outside.

    flying tree roach otoh...legit phobic. FLAMETHROWER MOTHERFUCKER. i blame growing up in Houston where i was traumatized numerous times as a child 😳

  5. i think the biggest surprise of this show has been Richard Thomas lol. one, i'm not sure i've seen him in anything since The Waltons other than a L&O cameo here and there, and the original IT.

    he's a surprisingly good actor, i would have expected a lot of cheesiness from him. he's playing his role well. also he must have found the fountain of youth bc he looks incredible for 60+

    i'm finishing up S2, really enjoying it. 

    there's sure a lot of sex in spying lol 😛

    Many years ago my friend and I went to visit his grandfather in Alice, Texas.  He told me in advance that his grandfather was getting a bit whacky/paranoid but that he was harmless. So we go and visit this guy, who was an old tool pusher who had retired after losing most of his hand after a chain slipped on a rig.  We went into his house and this man started showing us his gun collection and how/why he would use them. He had one under the cushions in his couch and he'd say "if they come in that window then I can just reach under here and pull out this pistol.  If they come in THAT window over there I can pull out this other pistol under the recliner."  Taking us through his house he showed us about nine different pistols (on top of the refrigerator, behind his bed, hidden behind the toilet paper in his bathroom closet etc...) and how he'd used them in various scenarios if "they"  came into his house.  After we left my friend said "I told you was getting kind of crazy."  And I remember thinking how sad it was that this elderly man was living in a paranoid hellscape that he'd invented for himself with absolutely no reason for doing so.  But it gave me a glimpse into the mind of slorch.

    fify

  7. damn, that's a shame. went there every couple of months or so, i always enjoyed the cole slaw and hush puppies more than the catfish.

    will need to get up there to buy a bunch of their bottled dressing!

    Well he was the same asshole before his kid died as he's been after. I haven't seen anything to indicate that his kid dying wasn't real and I don't think the fact that he acted like an asshole shortly after posting about it means anything. Because, again, he's always been an asshole.

    hmm. interesting. either way...he's gross.

    You believed that horseshit?

    wait...what? 

    i did. i have since figured out the dude is a sicko regardless...but i did believe it and have assumed it just permanently fucked his mind up. 

    if it wasn't true...he deserves permanent banning imo. that's some repugnant fucked up shit right there.

    I am convinced that the OP is not well.  Isn't he the poster that had a family tragedy and within a couple of hours of posting about it was trolling in the Cloak Room?  Is he also one of the posters that talked about playing football in HS and having memory issues?  Or am I getting my posters confused.  The second would definitely explain what a shitbag this guy is.

     

    yes! at least on the first part. i pity him. just incredibly weird...i can't imagine how i'd react to such a tragedy, but i like to think i wouldn't lash out as a political internet troll 🤨😕

  11. i mean would an actor necessarily know what a blank looks like vs a real bullet? do they have red tips or something?

    also... do we know it was a real bullet and not just a defective blank or something? the shot that killed Brandon Lee wasn't an actual live round but a misconstructed blank round, right? seems like i remember that. 

    anyway... all this talk that Baldwin should have checked it himself, that the onus is ultimately on the actor... i'm just curious how he would even know what he's looking at 🤨 the whole point is that they look real for the camera.

    "Instead of considering her evidence, Axley said, Bucci started throwing questions at her: Why had Axley gone to the party? What had she had to drink? How much? “I immediately felt judged,” remembered Axley. (Bucci, who is now a Title IX investigator at Baylor University, declined to comment.)"

    i mean...come on 🙄
