Agreed completely. Sorry to be lame--but even Friends got this right when Rachel wanted to tell Ross how she felt before he married someone else: It’s selfish and cruel to both the person you want to tell and to, obviously, their partner. The only person who gets anything out of it is you—you just have to deal. Stay…

Bigger question - why was the dead girl’s phone in his pants?

Well, and also that she doesn’t realize that she’s into him until he has a girlfriend. For folks who aren’t really ready for a real, adult relationship, emotionally unavailable people are soooo sexy . . . until you have them. This lady needs more time in therapy before she gets into the relationship business.…

Yeah this is one of the most egregiously off base bits of advice I’ve read from Dan. No possible good can come from her telling him now, while he’s in a relationship. If she truly cares about him and wants him as a friend, telling him her feelings is disrespectful of his relationship and more likely than not he’ll…

(Side note: I just checked wiki and “You make me wanna ...” was released TWENTY-THREE years ago!

The Russians had their thumb on the button for Trump again and he still lost.

Fun fact: If you draw a Venn diagram of “people who’ve ever shown up at someone’s house with a posse and beaten the shit out of them” and “people who’ve posted on an internet message board about showing up at someone’s house and beating the shit out of them,” you’ve almost drawn a train!

I hate the online shitheads have stolen this term, because isn’t Letter 2 what the “White Knight” fantasy is all about? I’d bet money his end game with this whole scheme is that the woman falls in love with him.

Yeah, the 2nd one read to me as “this bad thing happened to my friend, and rather than be supportive and help her get past it, I’d rather make this about me, thus dredging it all up again and making the whole situation worse.” When bad things happen to people we care about it can often make us feel powerless and wish…

I think it’s a legit observation to make that he feels they’re becoming more like good friends than romantic partners.  The boyfriend will have a hard time denying that if he’s at all honest with himself.

I don’t feel like an advice columnist is ever going to endorse tactical revenge, for good reason. It’s pretty unlikely that you can sic an internet mob on your target and then limit how far they go. You also don’t really know if the guy is some bored creepy rando who will be cowed by unwanted phone calls or a…

He managed to keep it tamped down until the second sentence. Progress!

I gotta say, if you’re writing a letter and it starts out, “my ex, who is a piece of shit. . .” just nope that whole situation. Throw your hands ups. Say, nah, I’m good. Hit the eject button. 

and in a surprise upset, the Bst R&B Albm Grmmy goes to Jthro Tll.

Yeah Netflix doesn’t give a damn that he feels bad, but his new specials are (currently) worth more than reruns of a 15+ year old show. It’s not going to set any precedent from anyone who doesn’t have similar pull.

Those people likely don’t make highly profitable comedy specials that exclusively stream on Netflix. This isn’t Netflix being nice or standing up for artistic rights, it’s them trying to keep someone in the fold for profit’s sake.

I mean, there aren’t tons of people with Chapelle’s pull who also have a deal with Netflix, so probably not.

First thought, physical media looking better and better every day.

If we’re going to pretend that it’s just business, and he willingly signed a legal contract, etc. then it should be equally fair, from a business perspective, to point out that Chappelle would be a fool not to use the impressive levers he has at his disposal to facilitate a better deal for himself, however…

I know two things:
