It tends to take a lot- and I mean a lot- more to get a woman actually put in prison than it would for a man.
A fella would have gotten a 20-year sentence after the second burglary.

See, this is the kind of motivational shit I can get behind. None of that privileged "you just have to be willing to work hard!" mentality.
Simple, succinct and powerful.

See? This is how you deal with scandals like this. I'll take this over a 15 minute, soul-less apology any day.

Except I neither have what I need today nor tomorrow. Unless someone randomly drops a house in the middle of the road for me, that's not going to change. Much like the last 4 years, I will continue struggling to gather the most basic of necessities in order to stay alive, with no guarantee I'll be able to get them.
In other words, this is some privileged bullshit.

While money makes the time that you're actually in recovery a little easier, it doesn't make it any easier to actually get off the drugs and alcohol.
His having money in his family does not diminish how incredible it is to get past that kind of addiction in any way. In fact, it can be that much harder to reach your rock-bottom when you never run out of money. Makes it take a lot longer for actual consequences to show when you're not worried about your mortgage payment, electricity bill, groceries and school supplies.

Ah. The namesake of my account.
I absolutely adored this guy's music growing up. Love to see that he's still in the conversation.

Unfortunately, some of us don't get to choose where our life goes. Sometimes physical and mental disabilities or issues take away your choices, leaving you to hope you can maintain your right to live through the kindness of others.

Reply to Tiny white dog pulling a girl on roller skates in Hanoi, Vietnam [OC] by Handymagic
I used to do this with my beagle. And I had some nice ass roller skates and she was a very strong dog. We would get up to about 15 miles an hour according to the neighborhood speedometer.
And then one day, as I was coming out of the driveway, I tripped on a pebble and landed palm first. It snapped my entire forearm in half. They had to put me under with ketamine when I went to the hospital because I'm allergic to anesthesia.
So my first experience in a k-hole was when I was 14 years old and having my arm reset. Pretty sure the trip gave me PTSD, but it gave me an appreciation for psychedelics that I hold on to to this day.
So there is my labyrinthian story for today.
