So, it boils down to the oft trotted out trope “She acted/looked like an adult, therefore it was okay?”

I get this was an author’s personal exeperience and she has a belief that it was a relationship on equal footing and so on, but it’s still a preyed-upon situation. She didn’t go out and find a older man to exert her…

You know, I think it’d be good for you to put it in the context it deserves to be in - this shitty path you feel you’re alone in, he (or she?) is a part of it and likely feels it too. That’s where it needs to be a joint effort or resolve the issue. And the communicating bit can be the toughest because sometimes it’s…

I’m okay with my partner’s exes. The only thing that bothers me is that my partner sometimes forgets I’m his girlfriend and will lapse into a nostalgia talk about an ex. It’s usually about the Ex That Got Away and she’s from 20+ years ago. He doesn’t mean to hurt me with the sporadic waxing about the ex, it’s just…

I’d like to take the obvious choice, which is “Both dudes are hot”. Because, really. Have mercy.

(Lenny’s hotter. 13 year old me with his poster on my ceiling will confirm this.)

Seeing this video when it was released made my blood boil. That fucking cop completely flew off the handle! How dare that uppity woman of color get a tone in her voice and assert her rights. I could feel my blood pressure rise as he started raising his voice and getting short with her, like she was a damned threat to…

I totally understand that :) In a way, it is a different time, people aren’t necessarily paying the kind of attention to their neighbors and community members and strangers as they used to. The old joke was if you did something wrong, every parent would be on their front porch saying “I know your mama/daddy!” but…

I know right? The cutest little gang members evar! I just imagined the kids as part of the elusive ninja turtle crime syndicate. Was there a Sbarro in this food court? I rest my case.

Familiar with the mall, familiar withits clientele (Wealthy moms with noses in other people’s business) and figure someone called because they got offended that her two black kids were unattended. While I mean.. Iprobably wouldn’t leave kids unattended at that particular mall because of how busy it is? I had parents…

Seriously. I bring this up to my parents on holidays “Y’all remember when you used to leave the windows barely cracked on a summer’s day in a running car and go into the grocery store for 10 minutes? Y’all remember when you smoked with the windows closed? Remember when we were allowed to walk a mile home as latchkey…

Girl eats a bingers diet. That Dr. Pepper, represent.

I’m never going to sing Black Betty right ever again. Damn you Key and Peele!

Oh. See, texting or gchatting or ICQing or whatever in the heat of the moment is usually how I keep my fingers occupied so I don’t backhand a mofo.

Name the 28% who are so devoted to discriminating over race so we know who to discriminate against.

I feel like I stumbled on some awkward photos that a middle-of-the-road married couple takes to spice up their bedroom goings on on a low budget. Like, the sort of stuff I’d retrieve on accident while undoing a fuckload of virusdoom in a customer’s computer.

I ain’t even mad, richbaby. I am, however, amazed at how poorly you’ve been raised to respect wealth and what it can do for you. *hands in the air in disbelief* How many of us would be like “Oh, an extra $300+/mo to do whatever with? So, like, I could just invest that without having to partition everything into a bill…

Kylie, word of advice:

I got all my knowledge on these folks from a relative who hatewatches the show because its mindless... that said, I liked watching Scott. Lots of funny-to-me moments on the show.

Nothing like a heap of scripted breakup trouble to ready viewers for the next season after all hell has broken loose. Couldn’t just let…

I feel the same way. If I can’t see the road, I instinctively slow down because of the potential for wild animals to be prowling around all unawares. But some people really have a lot of confidence in their on-a-dime stopping ability.

GODDAMNIT COSBY. That he continues to have the audacity to complain about uppity women trying to ruin his image... Hey, people defending Cosby, how you like him now?

That stretch of Almeda is like a dragstrip at night. It’s dim, it’s fairly straight, and people book it 20+ mph over the limit regularly when HPD aren’t cruising. Once the drivers would have seen her in their headlights, they wouldn’t have been able to avoid her. Just a really messed up situation all around.
