One of my biggest regrets is that I didn’t up and leave my now ExHusband (who was already cheating on me I later learned) and take the job I wanted when circumstances dictated that I find a new job. I had a great opportunity for a new job in my highly specialized area. My Ex was like a marketing guy (could really do…

As a person who is divorced and happy to date casually, I really hate this whole culture of the need to just lie to women in order to get what you want. It’s so disrespectful... to say what you think she wants to hear, not because that’s what you actually think and feel, but because your boner is sad and you want to…

It’s also a lie, right. Like the one guy doesn’t actually have a jealous girlfriend. She’s an imaginary girlfriend invented to give this tag-team duo an “in” with a vagina that would possibly make his boner happy... uhhh... I mean woman he totally respects. It’s literally just making up story, presenting it as real to…

For me - being divorced/no kids is kind of a sweet spot. Guys seem to like the fact that I’m not just looking for a ring. I’m very clear that I’ve been there/done that... and I really don’t care if I get married again (like I can take it or leave it... whatever). I have no children, and I don’t want kids, so my…

I mean - I’m not. I can barely remember where I parked my car much less remember that some slack-jawed hill person DJ did something shitty once... but you know everyone has their thing, right? I can someone who suffered a similar type of abuse, who had the time/resources latching on to this guy as her opportunity for…

I think this is a little like when people try to invoke “first amendment” when they face consequences for saying something dumb/racist/sexist etc. The first amendment says only that the government can’t come after you for your shitty choice of words (with a few exceptions), but that doesn’t mean you are except from…

We have these folks as well and I swear to God part of the motorcycle training must be “how to be the biggest dickweed you can”. They drive at speeds that are unsafe for the road conditions, they flash lights, they distract with the loud engine (I hear the thing and trying to find it rather than focusing on what’s in…

One thing I learned long ago as well was that some majority of the cast members on reality shows are just people living in LA, trying to make it as actors. They go out for these auditions just like any scripted show and play a character. It doesn’t work for the narrative of say, The Bachelor, to have 60 to 70% of the…

A lot of producers are just as much in hunt for the next job as other elements of the entertainment industry. There are executive producers who are the money/idea people, but then there are on-set/field producers who are literally in the field, essentially directing traffic in terms of resources, filming schedules,…

This is my thing. At the risk of being accused of a version of victim blaming-lite, are people really surprised by any of this. This is an organization that is first a foremost about judging woman on their appearance and adherence to Western beauty standards. Are people really outraged that people who made their…

I feel the same way. I don’t understand why people are so fixated on booze at events like work parties. I do drink, but I prefer to do my drinking on my own time, drinking the beverage of my choice. When I’m at a work event, well... I’m working. Maybe a glass of wine, but I’m not going to get hammered and make a fool…

I think the point is... that each person is going to be an owner of some small portion of the overall track they purchased. So I would in theory... own 1 sq ft of land along the border. The US government would have to initiate an eminent domain claim, make me an offer, have me decline, take me to court, have me fight…

I think on of the biggest barriers to men wrapping their brain around how pervasive this problem might be is that they simply don’t register a lot of these actions as “wrong” or “assault”. In their minds, the only thing that is actually a criminal act of assault/rape is a scary (usually Brown) man jumping out of the…

I have a Google Voice number that I use sort of like that. It’s not easily searchable, it’s not tied to any of my real life physical addresses in any way, you can block easily, I don’t even know what name is associated with it (I was married when I got it and now I’m back to my maiden name). But it does work... so…

I heard that it was mostly a scheduling conflict. The actor had made commitments to other jobs, because they were not certain that they were going to get a second season. So they did a combo of limiting his screen time/writing him off. But I do agree it made the writers not just do the will they/won’t they triangle…

I wonder how much of this issue of these guys who are swinging so far the other way is also tied to the fact that most men are conditioned from a very young age to interact with women as sexual objects first. The woman’s value is first gauged by how fuckable she is. I would bet you that this issue of not being alone…

I get you - there is no law against being a morally bankrupt asshole/you can’t litigate someone for being a morally reprehensible piece of shit. As much as it galls all of us to sit back and just let them get away with it.. that’s the way it goes. I got divorced from a lying cheating morally bankrupt piece of shit,…

Right - and I didn’t think of the insurance company’s perspective on the issue of settling and that’s a very good point. Like they are ultimately the one’s that pay the bill. They don’t really care if Subway looks like crap in the public eye... they don’t want to pay a claim and Subway can suck it if they don’t like…

I think that’s what is confusing to me (not a lawyer). If the argument is Subway’s failure to report the suspicious behavior resulted in her moving forward with the relationship/having children caused her material harm - that I can see at least taking a look at the evidence and letting someone decide.

Ya know - this! I basically quit FB a few years ago. Not some big “I’m deleting my account” digital flounce. I just stopped using it and told people “I don’t really look at FB... so not a reliable conduit to me if you want my attention.” There were a few things that led to me landing on no-FB. One definitely was…
