Ah, pbnjlover, my dear friend! I remember you, you little pest. :)

I think it’s just because they were describing a complex scenario involving multiple parties with nuanced distinctions and on top of all that, the same pronoun would have applied to any and all of them. It was the only way to be clear.

I sure as hell am! Here, check out the details and see what kind of bullshit she fell for:

Knowing that he won’t “stay out of trouble” may be comforting in the abstract, but when you think about his track record and what he’s capable of, you start hope he really does stay out of trouble. (See also: Biturbowagon/PumpkinSpies thread above.)

...While laughing. He says it sarcastically, delighting in the fact that he’s gotten away with such a ridiculous, half-assed performance. 😡

Oof, that rings all too true. It is so stupid and awful, the way our courts are so overtly rigged in favor of those with disposable income... It’s downright unconstitutional, if you ask me.

You should tell your big, tall teenage son about how Frog and Toad was an outlet for a gay man to express things the world tried to keep bottled up inside him. <3

I always hated the Frog and Toad books and never understood why anyone liked them, but that was just because I was a kid who had no appreciation for drab colors or ~boring~ stories. I devoured the first four Harry Potter books while my peers were still Hooked On Phonics, but Frog and Toad was apparently far too subtle…

The stories that get to me are always the ones that are completely devoid of ~paranormal~ influences, like the landlord story, or that one from a while back where the woman is in her car taking pictures of a foggy lake or something and a man comes charging at her, or that other one where the couple sneaks out to have…

“She realizes that becoming a full witch also means surrendering your autonomy (and not to mention literal virginity) over to Satan himself.”

NPH is one of those celebrities who seems really sweet and wonderful and friendly and then at some point it dawns on you that maybe his sole motivation in life is soliciting applause.

I didn’t mean that his tastes were wrong, per se – just that what he enjoys is pretty much exactly what Maria is saying she’s tired of. My point was that simply liking the same things someone else dislikes doesn’t invalidate their critique; the only “ridiculous” opinions are those that are based on faulty logic,…

HIMYM will indeed infect your brain and make you as juvenile as you are capable of being, so like, find a different show to watch a bunch! After all, there are so many options nowadays that there’s really no excuse for wasting your time and brainspace on sub-par content, tyvm.

Yeah, she “was like, ‘Oh my goodness, these guys are, like, old,’” and knowing that she’s 17, the interviewer replies, “How old? 18 or 19?” so it seems only natural for Britney to be like, No, I mean SERIOUSLY OLD. WAY TOO OLD. LIKE TWENTY FREAKING FOUR YEARS OLD.

Okay, well, I hate to break it to ya, but you didn’t actually answer her question very well, considering the author’s indication that she is typically the one being penetrated, the fact that this story wasn’t even about her personal sex life in the first place, and the question-poser’s emphasis on the mechanics of…

To say that a woman “hit the lottery with getting knocked up by [a rich and famous man] is a ridiculously tired narrative; in truth, there are a lot of risks that come with being in such a position. It worked out decently enough in this particular case, but she could have just as easily gone down a path where she felt…

Okay, I’ll bite: Who the hell are you, Dwayne, and what is it about me and my supposed soulmate that motivated you to create a Kinja account for no apparent purpose except to deliver this one particular message?

“There’s a much better tactic than an attempt to embody a woman’s plight of sexual violence to draw attention to it. You could, perhaps, have a woman record the song, though it would be a very different story. At the very least, it would be a less antiquated one.”

Dude, I hate to break it to ya, but you definitely have a strong taste for man-angst. I’m just young enough to have missed all the Nirvana hype, so I can’t proffer an opinion of my own on the comparative quality of their albums, but I know enough about your favorite movies and stuff to know that you are totally the…

I’d like to think that if the writers are this enthusiastic about the ending, it must be something hopeful, because that’s what we all want and need right now; we’re already living through a cautionary tale.
