Yeah, I actually listened to the recording and after he tells the story he says, “Well I guess *I* decided,” and she responds “Shocking...” in a sarcastic way, which says to me that he decides a lot of things for her. Awful.

Yeah this story raised a lot of alarms for me, mostly because I know birth control sabotage frequently coincides with emotional and/or physical abuse.

Yeah let me tell you. It takes a lot of manipulation to get a person to the point where a dude can throw away all her birth control pills while a friend films it and then she can have his baby. Just based on this interview, he’s been pushing her boundaries and testing her limits since they first starting dated.…

There’s a name for that!?

My husband I were shown that, he asked to know the total cost of ownership on each one. When the salesman came back, it was clear that he was recommending the most expensive one.

People need to STOP interviewing Spicer. This man doesn’t deserve redemption. Keep him off your late night shows. Keep him away from award shows. Keep him out of your magazines!

Thanks! Glad to know I’m not the only one that took issue with this comment. Even putting aside it being obvious that it sucks to have strangers around, all he had to do was have a conversation with his wife and listen to her. Why make ass backwards assumptions? I also hate when people invoke other people to try to…

This is a good review of how it works: https://consumerist.com/2007/03/30/dealerships-rip-you-off-with-the-four-square-heres-how-to-beat-it/

‘when the GSM (General Sales Manager) tells you to four-square a father of two who actually knows what he’s talking about.’

In my film school the divide was about 50/50 men and women. Slightly more men writing than women, just as many women in directing and production. By the time you get into the industry, 97% of studios are run by white men, 90% of writers and directors in film and television are men, about 80% of them are white men,…

It’s not easy to subpeona IRS records.

I’m not sure they need to let Trump know they’re doing it, if it’s an investigation in part into tax evasion and they’re supoena-ing IRS records. Do they? If they’re picking Manafort’s locks, I wouldn’t put them past quietly riffling through his returns.

Michael is definitely in some deep shit after last night. I anticipate he eventually ends up working with the four to try and keep himself out of an eternity inside a star. Their personalities seem to have grown through the first season, despite their memories being wiped - it probably is going to have less and less…

Eh, I do a similar “privilege scavenger hunt” for my SOC 100 class, but it’s carried out in a way that conservative students don’t seem to get too upset about. Instead of asking them directly to think critically about their white privilege I do it in a more discreet way: they’re asked to go to a mall, or Target, or…

No need to defend him—there are ~100k adjectives in English, and he’s got command of about a dozen of them, at most. Does he seriously not know the word ‘important’?! At least a third of the time he utters ‘big,’ he means some version of ‘consequential’ or ‘significant.’ I recognize his clear aversion to all words…

Why don’t you just ask your wife directly why? I know for me personally, it’s always a hassle to have an outsider in your home while being 1) physically drained literally 2) emotionally drained. Also not being able to host properly feels rude. Even if they are there to help only, there is still some pressure to feel…

So are the signs for “bear monster” at all similar to “Category 5/must evacuate” or did he just think “I can’t sign hurricane, better think of some scary signs that I do know.”

I’m a lawyer and I speak Spanish.

Don’t blame the county. He had Nelson Mandela’s funeral on his resume!
