  • Suggesting people have basic situational awareness is not victim blaming.

    Edit: Oh, and suggesting that this kind of thing is unthinkable outside of the United States is particularly laughable considering we all just watched it happen in Scotland.

    Look, yeah, it’s not the victim’s fault he was assaulted, of course not. You should be focusing on the comments that are saying a variation of “Well, he shouldn’t have been in the guy’s way, then.” Now that is victim blaming.

    All’s this guy said was if some dude comes up on you that hot, it’s in your own best interest to take action to defend yourself or flee. Once you are accosted in an aggressive manner like that, it’s no longer about assigning blame. You are already a victim of assault. It’s not your fault. But the only remaining questions is: which category of victim do you want to be? The one that got a scare from a bully and that’s not cool, or the kind that needs a fucking physical therapist teach you to fucking walk again?




  • Back before I kicked my Starbucks habit (and my car habit), I used to go to one with a drive through every day. The drive-through line was always backed up like the one in the picture. I always got my coffee quicker by parking my car, walking inside and ordering. Once I could order through the app, it was no contest. I was out the door in the same time it took drive-through people to move up 2 spots.

    Even at the height of my car dependence, I never could understand the appeal of drive-throughs.
