Not to be a total curmudgeon, but public proposals are a tradition that really should die. Also, proposals for marriage in general are arcane and infantile. If you’ve been in a relationship long enough to want to solidify it in matrimony, you ought to really have had several conversations about the idea of marriage…

“Hair must not be lower than the ears or collar in the back... “

You’re kinda missing the point here. A comatose woman was raped while under care of a hospital. The duration of that coma is not really the issue. 

Just because they’re silent does not mean that they aren’t deadly or abusive, manipulative, sexist trash. 

I’m asexual and non-binary, and the way that I interact with males is usually (in the past) a means of validating my own masculinity. I was not interested in dating, mating, etc, and was not aware that any of the dudes were flirting with me, or even thought that I was flirtatious. I was downright clueless. I honestly…

So, it was was basically drunken damage control? Yiiikes. 

Many women have had their careers destroyed by this shit. You have no fucking clue. 

These are atrocious. Swipe left.

Yeah, my sister’s family were traveling from their cottage and had taken their cats with them to cottage. They came for Thanksgiving dinner with the cats as it was on their way home from the cottage. Their plan was to go home with the cats the day after Thanksgiving. That poor cat; she was such a trooper through it…

That Thanksgiving when your whole family is packed into your father’s smallish 12th floor condo apartment and one of your extended family members has brought along their two cats. Chaos ensues when one drunk adult sibling scares one of the cats and it Peter Pan’s it off the condo balcony, landing 7 floors down on an…

I’m sorry that you had to go through that. That’s horrible. It’s really terrible that so many people have to go through experiences like this in order to learn the signs of a personality like that. There are telltale signs, like gaslighting, that one can watch out for. 

It’s so true. We look back on these cults and think, no we wouldn’t join something like that. And yet, even today, cults like NXIVM attracted people by posing as a women’s empowerment group, and was lead by a very typically narcissistic personality type white male, Mr. Raniere. It’s so insane to read the testimonies…

I’m only 15-20 mins into this, and what strikes me is that Jones seems to have many of the idiosyncratic simplistic phraseologies as Trump. Or am I imagining things?

I miss living in Europe. I now live in Connecticut, which is honestly where all of the civil engineers got to test out their worst road designs. For shame. 

I’m actually shocked that the I95/I91 turnpike in CT isn’t bleeding red. 

The solution to pollution is some seriously saucy dilution. ;-)

This explains Trump’s attire to the T. Thank you. 

When several car alarms go off during a loud fireworks display, and continue on ‘car-alarming’ long after the fireworks are finished, you begin to contemplate the pros and cons of risking imprisonment for smashing your neighbors car. Not to steal it, but to leave it as a lesson to people assholic enough to still think…

Add to list: fireworks, especially the professionally constructed ones used by large municipalities, are composed of some heavier metals, which are exploded into a million particles and drift downwards over regions adjacent to the fireworks. Inhale that lightly, folks.

This is so true. It’s only in my mid-thirties that I discovered that it would have been really useful for me to learn programming. No one ever came to me in my early twenties and said, “you should try this”. It’s not something that I would ever have thought that I could be good at and no one ever told me that I could…
