Agreed. I know zero about Dunham as a person so I can only really judge the show on its merits. I watched the first season and found it annoying and pretentious, but I can see why other people like it because it’s entertaining in a car crash kind of way. But let’s not pretend its more than it is. I personally just…

Ha ha ha ha! Oh sweet tiny baby jesus. Go on, say something else! I bet it’ll be amazing.

A lot of women I know (and I mean A LOT) are opting out of dating because a) vibrators exist and b) they have great careers, friends and hobbies and just don’t have time for someone who’s not as high quality as they are. Women are spending increasing amounts of time getting educated, fulfilling their creative needs…

You don’t have to do all the work “because you’re the guy”, you have to do all the work because you’re the one who is interested in the woman. If the woman was the one interested in you then she would have to do all the work because that’s how the laws of space and time work. A person can’t preemptively show interest…

Yeah that’s it, 75% of women just don’t want it enough.

“Bowl a googly” has potential

I’m Australian and that’s the base system I know (90’s for me as a teen). Me and my girlfriends are definitely more aligned with the French though. Blow jobs are what you do with a serious partner and not one night stands. They’re just way too intimate. I don’t really think it’s country specific. Maybe regional or…

Well perhaps you might want to work on your reading comprehension before you move on to art appreciation. Take it one step at a time kid.

So you're saying an artist who creates a bunch of art, puts on a show, sells their art, gets an agent or gallery to promote them and then spends their life living and breathing art as their actual job is recognised for their work, while you who are totally capable of creating work to the same standard, but don't,…

So true. At least Sex and the City had fabulous clothes to look at. Girls is just horrible people wearing ugly, ill fitting clothes doing stupid things.

Wow. Goes to show that you never really know someone. I always wonder what kind of influence presages such huge personality changes. I think my evolution from generally liberal person to someone who actively campaigns for human rights and social justice has been one which has happened over decades as I've read more…

Making friends with a guy who just happens to be gay is a bonus, not a reason to make friends in the first place. Like making friends with a person who turns out to own a bar or an icecream parlour or a million puppies.

Like when people use 'bleeding heart' as an insult. "You're saying I have compassion and care for my fellow man? Yes, what a terrible person I must be"

I don't

I don't really understand shipping in general. I mean yeah I've watched shows and thought, "oh how cute is the bromance between Dean and Castiel?" but I don't need them to fuck each other. It seems just wrong to take characters who have a great platonic relationship and shoehorn sex into it. Maybe I'm showing my age,…

Forcing children to clean their plate is one of those parenting things my parents never subscribed to and as a consequence they have 5 kids who've never had any weight issues. They used to make us TRY some of everything to introduce new flavours and textures but if you were full, you were full. As a consequence I…

Ugh #3 so much. If someone posted slash fiction and drawings of me and one of the random people I work with, I would feel incredibly violated and grossed out. I can't even imagine how delusional and out of touch with reality you'd have to be to not only show this stuff to these actors but to expect a positive…

Yeah but since you're picking a major at 18 and not at 58, it's kind of pointless to wonder what the 58 year old version of you will enjoy.

People that complain about the state of marriage "these days" never seem to actually recall what marriage was like "back in those days". Women needed their husbands permission to open a bank account or get a passport, people stayed in abusive and loveless marriages because divorce made you a social pariah, and most…

A good hot Indian curry is both. A shit ton of fragrant spices, garlic, cashew nuts and cooked in clarified butter, that stuff is tasty as hell. Hot foods make you sweat as well which is a cooling mechanism so a lot of hot countries have hot traditional foods. You don't have to enjoy it, but it does have a purpose…
