A complicated divorce gains Saint Kim the thing she craves more than money or resources.

I think more than anything right now, she craves _safety_. Don’t make me start a Pit thread about _you_. I’ll do it.

I think you are letting your negative impression of the Kardashian family, which, granted, I share, taint the fact that she and her boyfriend are being harassed by a lunatic multimillionaire, and in very real danger of physical harm coming to them.

I feel very sorry for Lum, being shackled (possibly literally) to a piece of shit like you.

I figured it would be some fictional or mythological reference, but I couldn’t be arsed.

I got that reference, but I’m whiffing on the Bob/Julie/Max one.

Little help, someone?

What a shocker, someone who likes oversexualized Japanese animated characters is dismissive of an actual woman’s feelings.

I can’t speak for Pete Davidson, but if I had the choice between living on a Pennsylvania dairy farm and being murdered by Kanye West, I’d have my hair done so I look nice when they show my “last known photo” on TMZ.

I’d take the farm, rather than “buy the farm”, so to speak.

Wait - is this a John Deere farm, or a Red tractor farm? If it’s JD, I may have to rethink…

Yeah, I don’t drink milk (I’ve seen where it comes from) and the milk smell that hangs over a milking barn is gross.

But then again, being murdered by Kanye would likely be a slow, agonizing death. He’d fück up the job for sure.

Can I buy a vowel, maybe?

I’ve worked at a dairy farm. Milk was not the most prominent odor.

I have to admit that Pete Davidson has had quite an exciting love life, supposedly dating Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Margaret Qualley (actress and daughter of Andie MacDowell), model Kaia Gerber and of course Kim Kardashian. I thought he’d also dated Taylor Swift but it’s not mentioned in his Wikipedia bio.

According to Ariana he’s packing some massive heat downstairs, which might explain why he’s had so much success with the ladies.

Why should we worry? Sounds like a job for the cops.

And because this ex-couple and the situation is highly visible, and Kardashian has a lot of money, they’ll maybe do something.

Too bad, so sad for all the women (and the men, it does happen) who the police will dismiss or gaslight when they say their ex-spouse is a threat.

My man! My grandfather owned an IH dealership in a tiny MN town for 55 years. My youngest brother and I helped with the final inventory when he finally shut it down - I’m pretty sure some of the parts we found were from the year he opened.

My grandfather was a tool and die maker for IH in Milwaukee, retired on a nice pension. I don’t think Grandpa would have thought much of Kanye.
