#DoubleStandard

People need to stop comparing Drake Bell to Brian Peck—they are not the same. Drake didn’t commit the same crimes as Brian. Drake received more punishment for sending a message, and while he should have been more professional and responsible, the fact that he blocked the person after finding out her real age shows he had no predatory intentions.

It feels like the media and social media are protecting Brian Peck. Why attack Drake over a text message while protecting someone like Brian Peck, who harmed numerous children? This double standard doesn’t make sense.

Lol! The Majority isn’t used to this. They’re used to DEATH and DESTRUCTION at will! So used to doing anything and everything and not even receiving a stern talking to from Mr. Brady or Mr. Drummond! Lol!

The Double Standard of Justice: Why American Politicians Often Escape Accountability

The Double Standard of Justice: Why American Politicians Often Escape Accountability

In the United States, a disturbing trend has emerged where politicians are frequently held to a different standard of justice than ordinary citizens. Despite committing crimes that would warrant severe penalties for regular individuals, politicians often receive lenient sentences, plea deals, or even complete impunity. This disparity is particularly egregious when it comes to severe offenses like sexual assault, theft, discrimination, abuse of power, and criminal and civil crimes. One primary reason for this double standard is the influence of power and privilege. Politicians, particularly those in high-ranking positions, possess significant sway over the legal system, law enforcement, and the media. This enables them to leverage their connections and resources to mitigate consequences, silence whistleblowers, and shape public perception. Another factor contributing to the leniency towards politicians is the complexity of the legal system. Laws and regulations governing political conduct often contain loopholes, ambiguities, and exemptions that allow politicians to exploit technicalities and avoid accountability. Additionally, the slow pace of investigations and prosecutions can lead to public fatigue, reducing pressure on authorities to take decisive action. The role of money and campaign financing also plays a significant part in shielding politicians from justice. Wealthy donors and special interest groups often provide financial support to politicians, creating a sense of obligation and reciprocity. This can lead to favorable treatment, reduced scrutiny, and even outright immunity from prosecution. Furthermore, the politicization of the justice system has resulted in a lack of independence and impartiality. Prosecutors, judges, and law enforcement officials may feel pressure to prioritize political considerations over the pursuit of justice, particularly when dealing with high-profile cases involving politicians. The consequences of this double standard are far-reaching and corrosive. It erodes trust in institutions, perpetuates a culture of impunity, and undermines the rule of law. When politicians are not held accountable for their actions, it sends a message that they are above the law, emboldening them to engage in further wrongdoing and abuse of power. To address this issue, it is essential to implement reforms that promote transparency, accountability, and equal justice under the law. This can be achieved through measures such as: - Strengthening campaign finance regulations and disclosure requirements - Enhancing whistleblower protections and encouraging reporting of misconduct - Implementing independent oversight bodies and special prosecutors for political cases - Closing legal loopholes and clarifying laws governing political conduct - Increasing public engagement and scrutiny of political actions and investigations

Ultimately, the double standard of justice must be confronted and dismantled to restore faith in the US legal system and ensure that all individuals, regardless of status or position, are held equally accountable for their actions.

"The old saying 'you can't outrun time' appears to have been turned on its head, as many older millennials, Gen Xers, and Baby Boomers have seemingly given American politicians a free pass, allowing them to dodge accountability with ease." May the universe help us.

Why ‘You Should Smile More’ Needs to Stop

As women, we’ve all heard it before: “You should smile more.” It’s one of those phrases that seems harmless on the surface, but for many of us, it’s actually frustrating, condescending, and just plain exhausting. It’s as if there’s this unspoken expectation that women should always be cheerful and approachable, like our purpose is to make others feel comfortable, regardless of how we feel. So, let’s talk about why it’s time to retire this phrase.

For starters, asking someone to “smile more” assumes we owe others our positivity, whether we’re in the mood or not. Maybe you’re just focused, maybe you’ve had a tough day, or maybe your face is just relaxed—whatever the reason, your expression doesn’t need to be “fixed.” Being told to smile more can make us feel like our worth is tied to how pleasant we look to others. But the truth is, we’re allowed to feel, express, or not express whatever we want. Smiling should be something we do because we’re genuinely happy, not because we’re pressured into it by people who think our “real” faces aren’t inviting enough.

And let’s be honest—no one says this to men in the same way. If a guy looks serious or neutral, he’s seen as focused or strong. But when a woman does the same, she’s often judged as cold, unfriendly, or even unapproachable. This double standard creates a constant pressure for women to be emotionally available, even when they don’t feel like it. We’re not here to perform cheerfulness on demand. We have real emotions, real experiences, and a right to display them—or not—however we choose.

What would be even better than “you should smile more”? Let’s just let each other be. Instead of expecting constant positivity, we could focus on supporting and respecting how people show up in the moment. No one should feel pressured to change how they feel for someone else’s comfort. Smiling should be a genuine reflection of happiness or kindness—not an expectation, and definitely not a command.

Seeing the same people who perpetuated or sent vicious misogynistic hate to Hannah Schmitz, as well as disgusting racist abuse towards Yuki and Alex because of FUCKING CONSPIRACY THEORIES and those who just straight up ignored it, now up in arms regarding whatever the fuck is going on between the FIA and the wolffs is beginning to piss me off. Because now that it's not someone red bull affiliated involved, it's somehow now unacceptable.

can i just say alduin's name sucks so bad as a retconned dragon name. like it was never meant to mean something like that, it was made up way before dovahzul. but having to shoehorn it in, comparing him with other dragons... he just sucks. look how short his name is. his brother is named parthurnax which has so many more interesting letters in it. alduin's name doesnt look like 3 compound words its just a name. i think he could just do better than that
