Wow, that must have been some shock!

SM reflects Christianity? Maybe for some I guess but I’m sure people from all religious backgrounds and none enjoy S&M.

Well obviously he can’t very well handle traditional braces! That would be barbaric!

I’m guessing this commenter was thinking something a little more… Revolutionary?

I see what you did there!

Love it!

Knowledge Fight fan by any chance?

Yeah I get you, I think my discomfort is more of a general thing than this particular situation. I think it’s like making fun of someone’s physical features when someone nice may also have those features. Or like an effeminate male homophobe deserves to be mocked but you risk repeating things people who’ve been bullied for being effeminate have been hurt by. Maybe not a hill to die on but I try to avoid it myself.

I see your point alright, I can’t say I’ve much heart to argue my point TBH. The village gossip vibe isn’t for me but enjoy!

I detest these people and I understand calling out their hypocrisy. Is there anything to be said for not policing how a woman is supposed to grieve publicly though? There’s plenty wrong about the shameless exploitation of Kirk’s death, but something about the current narrative feels gross. Stooping to their level? I mean yeah, maybe you could infer their relationship was shallow and transactional, but like, is this really a gotcha moment that we care about?

And Smurfs

Punishment, treatment, family support, victim support, anything would be nice!

I’m probably not in the same country as you but I’d say absolutely take it. You’re probably in a field where you can do the same thing again. Take the time to set yourself up as a company, get your tax affairs in order and charge everything (appropriate) to expenses and take the extra time to look for your next gig. Worst case you spent the extra time/money finding your next employment.

What’s the creamy stuff under the chicken?
