I’m going to go out on a limb here. I suspect the booze and drugs have something to do with her looking older than she is, not genetics.

Goodness. he certainly is an ugly fellow.

I watched this twice and I have no idea what it’s a commercial for or about. Is there some country specific message here that doesn’t translate well in the US?

Wait, is that an actual for real ad or did someone Photoshop it?

I do the same thing and I’m just a lowly non-profit worker.

Ah, thank you for explaining that. I honestly could not figure out why anyone would do that.

Reading these comments has been very interesting. I was diagnosed with RA at the end of 2004. I’ve taken methotrexate almost continuously since then, but I have never called it chemo, nor have any of my doctors referred to it that way. To me, and probably to most people, chemo is a treatment you have for cancer. I’m…

Ugh. Why do they do that thing with their mouths? Is that supposed to be cute?

Holy shit, yes! If you click through to the original New York Post articles, it names a bunch of the women *and* has pictures of them and their children! What were these women thinking? These poor kids!

I think you don't want to know.

I've seen this pictures several times before, but have never read any context. Who is this guy? Why is he posing in his underwear, with guitars and guns? Is there someone out there who would find this appealing?

This is what I chose to do a while back. I’m lucky to live somewhere that enough people feel the same way that humanely raised meat is readily available. Yes, it is expensive, so I eat less of it to be able to afford it.

Sure.

Really? This was my first exposure to it, other than reading about. I don’t think it’s bad, but I don’t see what the big deal is. Maybe it feels different when you see the whole thing together

Don’t apologize. You should be angry—we all should be.

I’m glad to hear that. You’ve probably heard this, but I’m reminded of something I once heard: “Friends are the family you choose.” I’m so glad that you have a chosen family who loves you as you deserve.

This is true for me as well. My twin brother died in 2012. I miss him terribly, but I feel that I was lucky to know he was going to die. A death being unexpected must make it that much worse.

Exactly. When somebody tells you “No, don’t do that”—you stop doing it. Reading the anonymous accounts of this guy creeping on people brought back a lot of bad memories. I’ve lived in San Francisco/down the Penninsula for the last 11 years and his conduct was unfortunately familiar. I’ve known 3 other men, also tech…

Now you’re talking! You should also treat their pantry’s as a sort of small convenience store. Pick up a few things when you’re over at their house.

What kind of asshole expects their friends to spend $300 on a pair of shoes?
