He is the whitest, male-est, privilege-est modern writer that I know of - and I've read Catcher in the Rye twice.

I got through two gallons of milk a week. It's delicious and nothing goes better with desserts in general. And don't come at me with that nut/soy milk nonsense. Fucking pretenders to the throne all, they need to be banished to the outer realms to go hang with other frauds like Tofurkey.

And several species of animals can't digest chocolate, so that means humans shouldn't eat chocolate either, right?

Sorry, but as someone who takes lactaid pills to have dairy, you are wrong. Milk by itself is awful.

Counterpoint: There is no better snack food than chocolate milk.

I love milk. I've never had cramps, bloating or the shits from it. Have drunk skim or one percent from childhood. And I don't drink coffee, tea or alcohol so FUCK THE HATERS.

right?? If I gave up milk WHAT WOULD I DRINK WITH MY COOKIES

Correct. Adults should be drinking hot chocolate topped with whipped cream. With marshmallows.

Counterpoint: Milk is delicious.

The 8 red velvet Oreos I just ate would like to VEHEMENTLY disagree with your analysis.

I'm an atheist. I once went on a date with a guy who talked on and on about his atheism. And then told me he organized meetups and retreats for atheists. I had to ask him, "isn't that the opposite of the perks of being an atheist"? If you're that into putting so much effort into NOT believing something, then I'm…

Oh I just made the weirdest noise reading this. Holy shit. It hurts even to think of it.

To be clear, the quote from after the assault is "Paul-Emma chill sesh", not "love sesh". This pretty clearly fits in with her explanation that she wanted to talk things out with him. Having been in a similar situation I can attest that the first instinct I had was to try and talk to him about it because there must…

I just lived in Germany for 2 years and Germans, like many Europeans, LOVE to claim they don't have issues like this. That it's always some "American" over sensitivity or lack of directness. They also like to claim that both sexism and racism are problems they don't have, culturally or individually. They say this…

I dated a Philosophy Bro in college! It was the worst! So so so many "Why can't you just be logical about this like I am?" endings to arguments when I was trying to ask him to please stop cheating on me.

". . .in Germany we don't read something into something else."

This seems to be directly tied to the issue a friend of mine and I were talking about, which we refer to as "Philosophy Bros." Philosophy Bros are intelligent, fiercely opinionated, well-versed in an array of ideas and literature and are complete garbage people because they use all of these things as a smoke-screen…

"He is soft-spoken, gentle, and supportive—when he isn't being abusive. He loves the language of feelings, openly sharing his insecurities, his fears, and his emotional injuries. He hugs other men. He may speak out about the absurdity of war or the need for men to get in touch with their feminine side. Perhaps he…

Creepy as fuck. I'd like to take this opportunity to note how glad I am that Schwyzer doesn't have an outlet on Jez any longer.
