Why shouldn't she believe her friend? I'm not saying that I side with Woody Allen. I'm saying she's eloquently explained that she knows Woody and not Mia. Is it really so surprising that she believes his account of the accusations?

Nooo. The one near downtown. I can't remember the street name, but it's near Arlington St.

My experiences concur with this theory. Insert comment about friendly giants here.

I'd like to see a study about the relationship between dick size and anger issues. I know it's almost a trope at this point, but for real, Ex-Screen-Name had the smallest dick I'd ever seen, and he was the angriest motherfucker I've ever known.

Am I the only one who thinks "sloots" sounds like something out of Dr. Seuss?

im thinking mebbe it twernt coke, it coulda been man-milk. it floats in water .

I worked for a woman who would harp all the time about how men and women were judged by different standards, and that wasn't fair. All good, right?

It's always interesting to me how we frame these questions and discussions in terms of the status quo system as if we can't possibly imagine that the system itself should change. We instead say, "everyone should try to fit the system!" So, to use graduate professional programs as an example, we always sigh and accept…

I read this piece yesterday, and while I see your points, it really rang true for me. I want to preface this by saying that I think this piece, while not explicit about it, was really about white men and women. As a white woman myself, it's accurate to my experience, but I imagine there are many other layers of…

Actually this article made me think about something I learned in college about the effects of emotions on one's worldview. An emotion, like say, sadness, is introspective, it leads the individual experiencing it to look inward, to blame themselves, and to see the root of the problem there. Whereas, a person…

As someone who is looking at using the service this summer to put my parents up while the visit for a few weeks. I find this highly amusing.

Gee, how could a service that puts anonymous people from the internet into your apartment ever backfire?

I think the reason it's not getting traction is that by the time someone's writing a stranger to ask how to handle their friend, they *aren't* actually that good of a friend in the first place.

Sorry, but no. The very first friend that I had to make a conscious effort to cut out of my life would have used a "breakup" as an opportunity to shit all over me. The whole point of getting that person out of my life was so that I didn't have to take that from her anymore. I didn't owe her anything by that point, and…

That's true. A lot of you continue to enable toxic people, make excuses for them, clean up after them. In fact, if the toxic one quits drinking or drugs, or start therapy, THAT's when you back away. They no longer need you, and you can't feel needed.

I think it really depends on the individual. I don't agree that people are generally disposable, but there are a lot of nutcases out there and sometimes someone else's crazy is negatively impacting your crazy.. Over the years I have found myself in such unhealthy patterns with certain individuals that the only way to…

When the relationship is only caring on one side, it's not a friendship. No sane adult simply drops a person with whom they have a healthy, mutually affectionate relationship. It's when people become a danger to your mental, physical, or emotional health that just dropping them and running away is a good option. Like…

I ditch people all the time. It took me years to get there, but I learned that I can't change people. So, when someone is toxic or making my life difficult they need to go. It's reduced the amount of drama in my life ten-fold.

I do. Not dramatically, but I do a quiet fade. My life is pretty uncomplicated now. Worth it.

She must have the worst diarrhea.
