I also don’t mind being more or less isolated. I think it has to do with my job which is HEAVILY public facing (I talk to anywhere between 90 and 3000 people a day. It’s exhausting) and the fact that I love very little more in life than not talking. I’m a good actress and good at my job since it’s all a performance,…

But also---- so weird that Adam Brody ended up with Leighton Meester and Rachel Bilson ended up with Bill Hader..... Both Rachel and Adam definitely have types.

Ahead of Tuesday’s incident, Wilson “espoused white supremacist ideology” and “made a threat that if any agent attempted to [search his property] they should ‘bring a lot of body bags,”

In that photo Blake Shelton looks like every country white dude pumping gas when someone rolls up playing music they're not fond of.

Starred for the Wicked reference.

My only question is....why are these worthless fucks so obsessed with us? We literally just mind our business and live our lives and they’ve created this whole psychotic internal narrative that we’re secretly planning to murder most of them and make the rest our slaves or some shit.

Just replying to say this is the nuanced response I was looking for. There is so much context in this story, much of it we will never know, that taking a polarised stance in either direction as to whether this is good or bad is pointless and hurtful.

Yeah, they left out the fact that “help” probably entailed her being put in a facility where she likely would have been treated with mild neglect and possibly abuse by strangers and lived out her remaining days even more alone and frightened than she was able to realize.

Unless you have taken care of someone who has dementia, you have no right to judge. You are showing your ignorance by even commenting.

“avoided discussing it and grew evasive about the future,”

I would be 100% ok with my husband doing this. My folks would be 100% ok with one doing this to/for the other. My grandparents (the happiest couple I have ever seen FWIW), my siblings, etc. A surprising number of Boomers I know are planning for similar scenarios - not calling the ambulance right away or at all, etc.…

This. Lumping this story into a narrative about domestic violence is as bad as lumping it into a narrative of true love. The thing is we don’t know what their situation was or what conversations they may have had, and trying to build a narrative around this takes away the opportunity to make this a conversation about…

Agree 100%. This is an awful thing to watch people go through, especially people you love. The anger and denial are simply part of the grieving process, and that process begins well before the death of the loved one. I also don’t advocate the route this man took, but I’m not willing to judge him for it either. No one…

Anyone who has dealt with this stuff with their aging parents will recognize the evasiveness, secrecy and reluctance to accept outside help as being extremely common and just part of the immense stress and heartache of seeing elderly parents deal with a progressive disease. I mean, I guess it could also be a sign of…

I remember. There are literally dozens of us.

SO much better! They didn’t lose an ounce of their goofy charm after they got married and had the triplets.

I’ve been told recently by some rando’s various Tulsi Toady burners that being a Warren fan is a Big Bad. So Obama better watch his back or the greys will come for him too.

Yeah, this isn’t the story you had in your head...

I’m rooting for the cholesterol.
