I look at both sides too and I see a girl who was creeped on and a dude who wasn't outed to the public. You see a bitch and poor shmuck who was maybe a wee bit awkward. That's interesting but it doesn't make you more perspective or "right" then the people who disagree with you.

He wasn't really publicly humiliated. His name is censored, unless you are that creep or his best friend, you have no way of knowing who he really is. I'd agree if she had given out his full name and facebook contact but that didn't happen. You are arguing that a woman isn't allowed to publicize an example of extemely…

1. Got her last name from a 3rd source without her knowledge.

He wasn't rude? He knew where she worked and had access to the work space to introduce himself and inquire after her last name. Instead he went the stalker router, which he obviously knew was a bad move or he wouldn't have lied about it in the first place. Then he went on to sent her messages despite a complete lack…

It seems that the guy's last name is hidden, so his identity is more or less up to anyone's guess. Which means that publishing this isn't an act of direct aggression towards the guy, it's a warning to anyone who tries this sort of shit. And believe me, this happens daily. And the creep in question probably didn't do…

This reminds me of my most hardcore stalker experience. It's actually someone I met (in group settings where I had zero influence on the guest list!). He went from someone I pitied and listened to, to someone I was annoyed with to someone I feared would break into my home at night.

And now I am sorry! I completely misread your intention and instead of clarifying, I steamed ahead and attacked you. I am very sorry. Please accept my apologies.

Of course they don't. The silver milk bucket was not intended for use either. The point is that you can only want to be associated with the brand if you are so far removed from its taint (=poverty, unskilled labour, no future) that it's comical or "tongue in cheek".

This is strange and you very probably didn't mean it that way, but your message felt oddly condescending. Maybe it's just me. (Did you perhaps think I was a teen/tween? I am far from either but maybe my low IQ and lack of English proficiency make me sound younger.)

Whenever in doubt on whether something is offensive to a group originally affiliated with that thing, ask yourself if they would use your "thought provoking" product or not. If they wouldn't, you probably did something wrong.

Not everyone is terrified of loneliness, but I think it's safe to say that most of us are. Not romantic loneliness, necessarily, but just the idea of having no one. No connections. No empathy. Existing without context. What would be the point?

I found that a coffee with full fat milk and a dash of sugar fills me up. A coffee with reduced fat content makes me reach for a cookie/toast. My anecdata supports this theory.

That sounds so great! :) I am glad you found someone who makes you happy. And the right prescription isn't too shabby either. I hope you two had a great Valentine's day (or just a nice lazy weekend). Thanks for the encouragement.

I haven't! I'll try to see if my library has something she wrote. It's a long shot, they don't stock many English books but maybe in a translation? Thank you! ♥ (And if you know her because you are in a similar situation, I hope it works out for you in the end. It's not hopeless when you can still hope for it, do you…

That is so great that you found a way to make things work for you! It must have been hard, I knew some people who "self-medicated" with alcohol as they say and they could never really give it up. It's really cool that you could. :) I spend months inbetween two glasses of wine and I never touched drugs beyond what was…

Mh. There have been people who wanted to spend a lot of time with me, and they were wonderful people...which is why that never went anywhere. I know me and I know my limits and I know what being with a depressed person does to your own happiness and self-esteem. I could never do that to someone I cared about.

I'm single because I am clinically depressed and haven't had a single day without contemplating suicide in ... I don't actually know how long. It's not dire at the moment and it's usually a passing thought but it's there and it's never going to go away. I am just not what I would wish on someone I like.

"For all you single people..."

You didn't? We had it in history and social sciences, though the latter mostly focussed on the Radfahrermentalität in the German empire vs the actual situation in the colonies.

OMG these are all great! I also loooove the short 50s educationals they did. The commentary was brilliant and the films itself were already so wacky.
