BUMP.

The thing about any relationship is that it works until it doesn't. If you both stay committed to making it work, it can work. That's not a guarantee that it will work, but it's also a reason to try. The worst that can happen is he'll meet someone else during that 9 months and you'll be dumped - which could happen…

This could be the most ridiculous thing I've posted on Jezebel, but in the spirit of supporting hot loving sex I will try: Have you tried being unavailable, yet simultaneously really sexy, for an extended period of time? For a lot of the hetero guys I know, there's this part of them that really enjoys the…

Without knowing the backstory, my guess is that she has a concrete reason for being upset with you. It could be a valid concrete reason, or some complete nonsensical bullshit that she made up in her head, but my guess is she has a narrative in her mind in which she is the tragic victim and you are the heartless…

Yeah, I don't fault them for it - sister sizes are great in theory, but I'd tell them the 34 band pinched and it was like I'd broken their carefully-constructed bra reality. :/

The negative critiques I've seen have been more about the fact that the black male community often does not stand up for the black female community* in the way that black women stand up for black men. Throw that in with a lot of Rock's career-making jokes about black women and relationships and it's not a totally…

Eh, maybe, but the flip side of that is that he tipped his quarry off that he was a weirdo, and then followed her knowing full well that he no longer had the element of surprise, and perhaps that the eyes of half a dozen people (or more? dunno how occupied the train was) were now on him because he was acting strangely.

That babysitter...I would rip someone limb from limb if they left my (hypothetical) children in a burning house.

There are usually a few (like max 1-2 out of 25). One of the two gets cut at the first rose ceremony. The second hangs around for 1-3 weeks, giving lots of pithy interview quips about the dynamics of the house but never actually having any 1-on-1 time with the bachelor*, and then inexplicably fails to get the rose.

Fuuuuck that. Victoria's Secret has measured me twice and insisted that my 36A is actually "the same" as a 34B or C. The C is hilarious - I'm physically incapable of making my two boobs touch, that's how small they are, there is no cleavage possible. 34 anything doesn't work because my actual measurement is 35, and…

Thanks for responding. Your answer is exactly in line with what I expected, but it's good to have it confirmed rather than just wander on with my assumptions.

I went to school in a crappy district and hated every minute of it, and now that I'm an adult I wouldn't trade it for the world. The academics were a joke, but I got to know people who weren't from my economic/racial/whatever background; I'd say the life lessons have outlasted the academic lessons by a long shot. I…

Can I ask you about the Staten Island demographic? My impression is that it's chock-full of first responder families. If you had to speculate about the demographic breakdown of a random 23-person sampling from Staten Island, would half of them be black? I know it doesn't really matter at this point, I'm just curious…

Calling people out is very important. Beyond that, donate money to groups that are working on the ground to combat these problems. Sometimes that means donating to a community center in a predominantly black neighborhood, sometimes it means donating to legal defense funds or funeral funds for families who are going…

Me, pretending to be a Prosecutor: "Hi guys! Here's a video of Eric Garner being choked to death while begging them to let him breathe. Here's where the NYPD manual says No Chokeholds. Here's the list of civil suits pending against the officer in question. Okay? Have a nice day!"

My instinctive response to this was, "If Tamir Rice's killer isn't indicted and imprisoned, I'm going to burn something down."*

Sexually harassing an 8-year-old should be of interest to someone higher up in law enforcement than the local sheriff. Has anyone tried going over the local PD's head and contacting someone with more oomph? (I hear there's a knitting circle in Oklahoma, maybe they have some time on their hands...)

We need any punishments, period. If you look at how many women report their rapes, how many reports lead to arrests, how many arrests lead to trials, and how many trials lead to convictions...the last time I tracked down all that data and did the math it was something like 1-4% of rapists seeing ANY prison time at…

Jaime is the dude in the middle and I am literally everyone else after reading that.

The laser sights definitely appear to have happened, unless someone went to extreme lengths to fake the video I saw. The video at the bottom of the linked page shows two incidents between 1:25 and 1:35. First there's a shirtless guy with his back to the police and a sight on his back; then there's a guy in a striped…
