They did go to a police station.

Yup. I knew where every damn thing in the house was, at a very young age. I knew where stuff was that my parents didn’t even know they still had, like weed my mom hid several years before I was born. I absolutely knew where allll of the forbidden stuff was, and they didn’t need to tell me. Oh, it’s on the top shelf in…

It’s bizarre that you seem to think Billie has never had any contact or communication with these people. You have no idea whose side she’s heard. She said she has no relationship with them, but that doesn’t mean she never ever has. She very likely knows a whole lot more about them than you do, and made a decision that…

“Please don’t presume to know anything about my story other than what I specifically said or about my relationship with my spouse.”

Ummmm, that’s exactly what you did to them. Exactly. 

I feel similar, but also have noticed that, by all accounts, she was not at his intervention, and he went from the intervention to rehab, and filed for divorce as soon as he got out. So, it’s very possible that she was in denial of his issues and living in la la land, and he saw that as unsupportive. I don’t know, of…

I worked with an incel who was similar. Very handsome face, gorgeous eyes, terrible personality, and therefore a “40 year old virgin.” He was quite overweight, which so am I so no judgment, but of course that can make it more difficult to date. I’d see really cute women flirting with him regularly, but they were often …

Yeah, you’re right. As soon as I hit publish I regretted being so absolute, instead of saying “No one worth their salt” or “No one who isn’t a total fucking buffoon” but left it anyway. I do enjoy that your own link reiterated everything else I said AKA the actual point, so now you can stop asking why anyone cares if…

Because, unlike you, we understand how vaccines actually work. We know they aren’t force fields. No one ever said they were. Very few vaccines cause sterilizing immunity. That is really difficult to achieve. That isn’t the point of people taking them. They lessen the severity of the virus. If you get a vaccine for a…

Nope, it’s 100% AAVE. Jezebel even did a whole thing explaining it several years ago when white people started saying it.

I (who am I? No one!) think both you and the other people in this specific thread are correct. Both things can be true at once, as many seemingly opposite things are, because the world is not a black & white place and everyone’s point of view is truly so different because of the very vast amount of things that…

Judge Joe Brown. Judge Joe Brown. Judge Joe Brown.

I’m guessing these men see her as a shiny trophy and a status symbol, rather than the super bland and boring human being that she is.

Yup. I buy and sell vintage collectibles, and I see this shit pop up All. The. Time. Every single time I say anything about it to the seller, they literally always say “It’s not racist, it’s Americana!” Just like the loser in the post.

I guess you don’t know about early onset dementia (someone in my life died from it at 46) or MS or schizophrenia or any of the other massive amount of disabilities that can hit you around middle age or younger.

I think in Jeremy’s case, this is actually who he is. I know a few people who are acquainted with him, and they say he’s a really nice, kind man, and also very earnest, and has had this intense passion for immersive acting since he was a little kid. He seems exhausting, to me, but I still root for him.

It’s too much work for me to sell my own unwanted stuff online, much less having to go to a ton of different stores and dig through everything, looking up it’s value as you go. That is truly A LOT. It takes sooooo much time and effort, and then you wash it all, iron what needs it, lay them out nicely, measure…

I really enjoy all of your comments here. They were a really good read. You are very thoughtful, and I fully agree with everything you’ve said. I think the other commenters are missing the forest for the trees. They are hard stuck on this rigid specific definition, and also seem to just not “get it”.

I don’t really…

Let people enjoy things and mind your own business. How about that?

It’s probably why he’s still working here after soooooooo many years, and doing Dirt Bag. He’s mean, trashy and toxic. He *CAN* write well, sometimes, but then it’s always ten paragraphs longer than it needs to be. I used to like him way back in the day...Rich & Tracy, but then I grew up and realized it wasn’t…

People’s judgments with this is so weird. This is a legit thing that happens. Certainly not everyone, but it’s pretty common. Some folks are much more susceptible to it than others. It makes total sense that if someone imitates a certain accent for 3 full years that some of it might stick. Personally, I used to have a…
