"Oblivious classism will be the death of cities" is such an insightful line. I would add racism as well (at least in the case of my neighborhood going through gentrification right now in Atlanta). I completely agree with everything you have said.

I have DEFINITELY been deterred from shopping a stores because one creepy employee was creepy to me once. I avoid eye contact, let alone small talk, with men to avoid creeps. It makes total sense. When over half your interactions with men (especially likely to happen at E3) end in being hit on, groped, or insulted its…

The main issue is that there aren't a lot of modest costumes for women. That's a larger issue, but it you want an authentic costume, it's going to be revealing.

Yeah, for real.

"No one's boyfriend but my own."

I agree with some of the commenters that clearly she is not looking for advice, per se. She probably wants a shoulder to lean on and someone to listen. I wouldn't try giving her advice too explicitly - maybe if you know someone who has done online dating (especially if it lead to a relationship!) maybe you could…

That "lying by omission" line in the first letter is killing me. SHE FELT JUDGED SO SHE DIDN'T SHARE WITH YOU. That's what was happening. She wasn't lying or hiding anything. She was tired of your bullshit. Let's just be honest. As a tragically single person with a fucked up dating life I have avoided sharing much of…

I totally agree. I was just speaking to a coworker the other day who is going to Europe (I am from the US) and she was asking for advice because she's never been and I did a backpacking tour there. I told her it would help to blend in and to do that you should avoid t-shirts, flip flops, etc because Europeans dress a…

I think it's just a symptom of hating yourself... of really, really deep self-hatred. I don't think it speaks to anything except "I want to be as different from who I am as I can ever, ever get." I do think she also has some deep-seated issues with racism. Sounds weird since she "loves" Drake so much, but who knows. I…

Yeah and the implication is that just being attractive is "asking for it." Simply being born looking a certain way means you are just tempting men and asking for it. So gross it makes me almost cry to think about.

That is so gross I can't even think about it. :(

Sorry, what's the punchline in your joke? The one about falling down stairs? I don't get it. She gets hurt? Or was it not a joke and just a ......thing? Just a random sentence to put out to the universe, like "hey, hope this bitch gets badly hurt." For what?

You are so creepy and disgusting, and completely generalizing the people of an entire continent. I am honestly thankful that because of my race I DON'T have to put up with people like you. I will say an extra prayer tonight for the women who encounter and must endure people like you.

Especially if it's a "favor" revolving around his penis.

But you get that there's something wrong with saying you like Asian girls because they have "more pleasant personalities?" And a "history of family values," whatever that means, I guess women of other races don't have those. You are an awful person. You are harming women with your mentality.

You.... are..... joking? Right?

You mean queef, right? Sorry for the lack of sensibilities, but that just has to be what this person meant.

My state has a graduation exam with four subject areas (math, science, social studies, literature) that you must pass no matter what to get a high school diploma. Now, the test is still set by the state and is not national, but states in America are large and could have millions of people so its fairly standardized. I…

Amazing gif. Just. Amazing.

Oh man, same here. People always ask me and I either say some dumb shit comment like "I'm from St Paul! My mom is from Oklahoma!" when people ask "where are you from," or I have them guess and they are usually wrong. But generally people ask because they are x, y, or z (typically recent Eastern European or…
