I just wish he hadn’t taught it to his kids, who evidently are totally fine carrying that damage forward, too.

It...actually explains a lot about Trump’s mindset, if true. If the assumption is you’re at fault for being attacked, and that every negative opinion or comment is viewed as an attack, then you do everything you can to prove it’s not your fault and, I guess, attack back to prove it.

I opine that it’s solely a cry for attention and I think it’s sickening. Lea’s been milking Cory’s death as making her more special (and she thought she was very, very, very special already) ever since it happened.

It’s sort of fucked up, but Cory Monteith’s death certainly saved her reputation (i.e., that she was a horrid bitch on set and impossible to work with) and she very likely knows it/capitalizes on it.

Nah she’s a thirsty ass bitch. There are rumors that that was just a PR relationship anyways.. which makes this all even worse....

Doesn’t “everyone hates me” get old eventually? Just because people have never been exposed to something and feel awkward as they try to understand did does not equal hate. The self-victimization gets fucking exhausting after a while. The world is not perfect but gay, lesbian, and transgender people are experience…

Yep.

Fourth of Ju-Lies

Once I was followed around a grocery store by a uniformed cop and I thought I was gonna be accused of stealing. He DID hit on me.

Blech. Sorry you had that job!

I’m white too, and I’m afraid you hit the nail on the head! Any racial minority would have not had as simple an experienced. It makes me so sad.

He made what they called a “bad stop”, and it is a serious no-no. He was lacking the first requirement of a stop, which was “selection” - you have to witness the subject select the item from a shelf or rounder so you know they weren’t “concealing” something that wasn’t already theirs. If he let anyone else know he was…

It was ALWAYS security theatre.

Of course it’s because you’re white! It’s nothing to wonder about. It’s real.

You have to realize just how radical it was that this nobody, who looked not so much like the sort of actress who would star in a Tom Cruise movie as the personal assistant to the sort of actress who would star in a Tom Cruise movie, was suddenly…starring in a Tom Cruise movie.

I spent the last few weeks thinking of a tree that we used to have in the backyard of our old house. All those hours I spent under that tree looking up as the sunlight dripped like honey through the leaves. When the thin cold wire of time wasn’t pressing pushing tight against my neck. There was time back then. There’s…

I’ve only read AP and Portnoy, and based on those two, I am fine saying I don’t like Roth and will never read anything else by him.

Glove manufacturing info is the only useful info I took from this novel. I really disliked it, but enjoyed having new trivial knowledge about tanning leather.

Super gross. Mind if I engage in some armchair psychology?
