"Malcolm had a turbulent childhood that he clearly doesn’t want to talk about. He comes from a wealthy family and grew up in Dallas, but was sent to a “troubled teen” residential facility when he was 11. The only reason he can give me for being sent there was that his parents were getting divorced and were locked in a bitter custody dispute, and the judge “thought I shouldn’t be with either parent”. After that, he lived at a private boarding school, with his fees and expenses covered by a family trust. “I have no beef with my parents. My childhood was hard, but my adulthood has been easy. Can I say a parent did a bad job if I’m happy with my life today? I don’t think so.” "

L to the O to the motherfucking L. These people are just reacting to their trauma and acting like they've found some magical answer to life being hard. Their poor children.

Yeah, this is clearly one of those the accusation is a confession moments.

Yeah, it's not even just a sensationalist headline. It's what they ruled. How are we supposed to reconcile this with the rest of the world? I'm genuinely asking. How do you include a country with leadership like this in the future of the world? Someone enlighten me.

Thank you so much. I cannot stress how much I prefer a written article.

One step closer to bankruptcy for the rnc. Here's hoping!

Their message is "don't people who are different than you freak you out?!?!". Simpletons, grifters, and losers. That's all they've got left.

I was stoked to boot it up and like......what? It's such a stupid game on all fronts. I get that stealing mechanics works if you're into that kind of gameplay, but there's no way that anyone other than pokemon obsessed people enjoy this. Even then, it's such a poor analog for actual pokemon games. I feel like it's "success" is all media buzz. Every actual human in my life agrees it's terrible. Even my partner who is actually pokemon obsessed lol. But the coverage on the internet would have you believe it's goty contender. I have never felt more convinced that we are living in a simulation lol. I can't be alone in this, am I? Is there where I learn that I'm that far out of touch? Like, truly, if you enjoy it, good for you. We all have things we love that others don't get. But like, someone please tell me I'm not the only one lol.

I imagine the census worker was asking the father for answers, so this is likely his passive aggressive critique of his daughter. Good for her.

I worked at a library in college. It was amazing. Truly one of my favorite jobs I've had. Libraries are legitimately one of the best things about modern society. Go support your local library folks!!

Right? What a ridiculous article. We are all a little more stupid now.

Sucks. We had lots of fun there when it first started. But I've deleted my account now. It's hilarious to watch Jake try and make an empire. What a loser.

You're stirring the pot. The conversation is over. It's their instance and they can do what they want.

The "greenest" thing anyone can do is not have children.
