Several years ago I went on a very mediocre date. When we got back to his apartment he asked if I wanted to watch a movie. Without asking what unwanted to watch he started up “The Departed”. He kept going on about how I needed to see it all while trying to put moves on me. I wasn’t resistant, it was just a weird set…

Good on you for asking about this and admitting what you don’t know. That’s a lovely character quality and something that we could all have more of, especially when we’re privileged re: a certain topic. This is what I’d tell the people who painted you into a corner.

Congrats on the job!

“so you suck his dick”..is it me or is there some slut shamy subtone? as if it’s super gross to perform oral sex on a guy as a woman. can’t imagine someone would say “so you licked her pussy and you are not even going to kiss her?”

Yeah — I mean, look, let’s be honest: your joint mission is to bang, not to be best friends or sexual therapists, so it’s cool if “just talking” isn’t gonna do it for you. Sex shouldn’t only be about the guy getting off, etc.

Preach. My man works overnight two nights a week, and although I’m always like “byeee baby I’ll miss yooooou” the second he leaves I place myself in the geographic center of our king, arrange ALL the pillows and ALL the blankets the way I see fit then stretch out like a motherfucking starfish. It’s the best part of my…

If peak of her powers late 80s Meg Ryan was really reduced to banging Billy Crystal, then yes, she was the one with a problem.

The Hemsworth brothers sound perfectly normal to me. I have 4 sons and money for stupid was just something they did. Their friends too. I was ironing my sheets once and heard “I’ll give you $X if you touch your scrote to the iron.” Thankfully no one wanted money that badly.

The Southern Poverty Law Center considers any wedding party of over 8 people a hate group.

Ugh, I never gifted up, but it is the culture at this job and I answer into the same two bosses as 6 other people, so if I don’t get a gift, I am the only one that didn’t so now I do it too.

Or they’re regular people that have to travel for a living and want some niceties for being away from home so often. Having these perks makes travelling for work a bit more livable.

My spouse is a consultant, and generally I see him 2.5 days per week. It’s not the greatest setup, but his income and long hours help subsidize my non-profit work. It sucks taking multiple flights per week and spending more time living out of hotels than with your family (lots of his coworkers have little children).…

Yeah, I can’t be outraged about this. They’re being a bit pouty and dramatic when they first find out, that’s allowed. Maybe if one takes up a public crusade against the merger and never shuts up about it and compares themselves to actual suffering people it I’ll change my mind, but for now...pout away.

Yeah, I think Joanna must not travel for work. As someone who does 4 out of 7 days on the road, this kinda stuff really matters in terms of convenience.

Sure, there are bigger battles to fight, but if you are someone who does spend a 100 nights a year in a hotel and a couple of hundred thousand miles a year with your butt in an airplane seat (I do neither of those things any longer), the perks of elite status do matter.

That is the face of someone remembering a very good guilty fuck.

Was Pete Wentz even alive in the ‘80s?

She actually addressed that in her article - it very easily could have happened on her watch, but if it had, she wouldn’t spend the rest of her life wondering if she should blame someone else.

Well in Canada you get a year and their economy hasn’t collapsed yet, so that sounds pretty reasonable.
