oh it doesn't. I totally agree with you in every way that matters probably. It was just something I never considered that popped into my mind as I was reading the thread.

I'd rather be a white woman than a black man

I think part of it was that Swearengen is a new take on a pretty standard western trope: the man who makes a civilization out of a wilderness and in doing so makes himself useless. The real swearengen was originally driven out of town by the Methodist church that burned down the gem. In my mind that's the real ending…

David mitch was sober from heroin before he started making dead and has to my knowledge stayed clean since. He did however go a bit daffy with recovery ideas, and I shit you now, one day at a time become his working mantra. He would write scenes the day that they would be filmed, with only the general idea of what he…

like this picture bothers me because it is a child, however someone looking at it and not knowing that might just think she is a hot 20 year old. But an actual young looking 20 year old doing a shoot designed to make her look like a sexy thirteen year old is much more troubling because of who the target audience…

I agree but am pretty sure it'd be worse if there were semi-nude photos where they tried to make her look as young as possible

that's wasn't what i was saying. In fact I went so far as to point out that my privilege shielded me from adult hatred far past when a child of color would have experienced it. I was just relating a formative experience with the term "blue eyed devil" in response to another commenter's query

I've actually been called cracker, honky, and blue eyed devil in anger over the course of my life (mostly in middle school. Only the last one hurt and that was just because it was a couple of grown members of the Nation and I was fifteen and confronted with the fact that regardless of who I was as a person, these men…

mark, speaking as a pretty much down the line hetero dude, I don't want to question your taste in men; but bobby Norris has the muscle mass of a 12 year old. I'm not saying you need to be into Burt Reynolds or anything, just saying that being into Bobby Norris is a red flag that means you would find the typical 12…

My rule of thumb is date whomever you want, and fuck people who try to make you feel guilty for that. If you grow to a point you don't like being with that person anymore, stop dating them. Don't retroactively decide that you are above or below anybody because in the end we're all just bipedal apes trying to occupy…

And how old are you, little fella?

the Internet is all the proof you need that other people are all either annoying or terrifying

middle story is reminiscent of:

good lord, this kid is fucking boring

My sincere hop is that the woman who sent this went on at most three dates with this "ex" back in high school

Exactly

this Ivy League smarty pants just tricked me into shitting on the brim

neither. I was referring to a specific post where you were saying that addicts are really addicted to drama and being the center of attention

not to mention the fact that you identify with the good parent. So you mimic their behaviors. It's why people try to change or rescue other people who have no intention of being rescued or changed

I had an abusive mother growing up, and I've got to pay attention when dating women today. Certain personality traits that would immediately be red flags to others make me feel like a home coming type feeling. When you are a small child, your household is your entry to the world. Whatever is going on in there to you…
