I fly WOW at least twice a year to get to Europe, and to be honest I love it. They don’t give you anything, but they do give you a power outlet at each seat to charge your devices. TBH, that’s all I need, and not all the bigger cushier airlines do even that. I also find that if you have a headache and ask for an…

I think its biggest flaw is too much adherence to the “Maybe this is real! We can never really be sure!” schtick. Which is fine I guess when they’re doing eps based on traditional stories and/or eyewitness accounts, but some of their stuff is absolutely made up out of whole cloth. Also tbh it’s not really scary at all.…

The minute your mental health means real people get hurt, you’ve left the realm where there’s anything excusable. And the minute you try to tell me you can’t figure that out because something something those crazy Japanese! I don’t have to be polite to you. Don’t talk to me anymore.

It’s not more complicated at all. It’s just that he got a woman deeply and legally involved in his life, then perpetuated harm against children and embroiled her in a terrifying and embarrassing legal imbroglio. Basically everything that is implied in the phrase “possessing child pornography.”

It’s okay, all of you who have to make sure we all know that you Don’t Like Eminem But you Like Him Now, Keith Olbermann is ready to ringlead you all. Plus he perpetuates the nonsense that more celebrities should get involved in politics since it’s working out so well now.

Nah, man, everyone’s been decent. Though most of the comments are like, “EVERYBODY knew about this!” and I’m like “I didn’t know about this!” I couldn’t pick this man out of a lineup of two people before yesterday, I barely knew he made movies! Also, Meryl is saying she didn’t know and while it’s not a hill I want to…

Despite what Alcoholics Anonymous and other 13-step programs will tell you, there’s more than one way to be in recovery. Also, we judge people by their actions, not their addictions.

I don’t know. Maybe I’m in a weird position to think about this, because a friend of mine married a guy who got arrested for possessing child porn - and she absolutely did not know about it. She didn’t know anything until the FBI woke her up raiding her house one morning. She divorced him immediately. It’s among the…

Either that’s a helluva generous six, or my standards are out of whack.

I sometimes find it hard to understand the saw that “Sexual assault is about power, not about sex,” mainly because I’m not a sexual abuser and don’t understand how their minds work. This story really clarifies the whole thing for me. Grabbing one of the most physically powerful men on earth in front of his wife…

I have never once read a comment on here that started with “No offence” and then managed to make it to the end of a sentence with perfect grammar and spelling. The brain must instinctively freeze up in self-defence after typing those words.

Not only that, but it sounds like multiple members of this group have agreed to drop the bride from their lives on some level ranging from “we won’t go to any event where her husband will be” to “she’s dead to me now,” and they’ve talked about it amongst themselves, but no one at all seems to have talked to the bride a…

Yeah, that July-to-November timeline for engagement to wedding is a huge red flag. That kind of turnaround is for an elopement, not something you’re expecting other people to arrange, pay for, and attend. If the LW made it clear that it was something they both pushed for, I’d shrug and say “Well, they’re too excited…

Absolutely. Some of my favorite fanfic writers also self-publish with original characters, and it always delights my soul to be able to support them. Fanfic gave them access to a pool of customers, their talent made them popular in that pool, and then when they started self-publishing they already had an audience (and…

I don’t know if I agree that it’s best for LW to focus on their feelings rather than the concrete instances of things LW has observed that are inappropriate - not all of the things LW knows have come through mutual friends, they were present in the chat for the gay joke and subsequent haranguing, and it’s unclear that…

To further the point, when I lived in Sudan, a fairly “covered” society, my boss would feed her infant son without thought in fairly broad contexts - always with only other women, but those women could be any other women (like, say, me, an employee whose paychecks she signed.) Now I’m in the US and my friends who I’ve…

Listen, I turned 32 this week (and am a white woman). Stephen Miller is enough to teach all of us to moisturize, hydrate, and also keep the evil thoughts and deeds to a minimum, it’s clear that they’re aging as hell.

I’m going to Sephora this week to buy some Kat Von D branded sparkly lipstick because it looks like the only thing I’ve ever seen that might come out of the bottle with enough glitter per swipe that I’m not adding more, and I need it for Halloween. I could not care less about Kat Von D, but good makeup is good makeup.

Again, not a lawyer, but double jeopardy means you can’t be charged for the same or similar crimes using the same facts following an acquittal or conviction, so regardless of the outcome of the case you can’t give a trial twice on the same event. I don’t know of any reason, though one may exist, why you couldn’t…

The Magnus Archives is the only legitimately frightening podcast I’ve ever found that doesn’t also suffer from serious problems - for example, I can’t accept Lore’s unwavering devotion to the “Maybe this is all real!” schtick, even when he’s talking about events that obviously never happened. And there are some good…
