I'm really not okay with it, but I'm also not okay with telling people what their reactions to events that happened in their own lives should be. If the letter-writer had asked if he should still be in contact with his rapist, then the reactions would be really different.

I disagree: sometimes it's worth it to push parents on these issues, especially if you have knowledge that they're setting boundaries for you that they wouldn't have accepted for themselves. Assuming parents' house = their rules can lead to them thinking that they can continue to push an adult-child relationship with…

When I rewatch the show, I generally start with "Tracy Does Conan" and go on from there. The first six episodes are fine, but it's lukewarm compared to the rest.

I feel like you're really struggling with the difference between "this show is objectively bad and everyone should know how bad it is" and "this show is not for me." This show is not for you.

Yeah, she died of ovarian cancer in 2010. Martin Short strikes me as someone who just finds a lot of joy in performing, and likes doing goofy things.

I agree with everything in this comment except that I though that Kimmy thought she was saying something pleasant because she was repeating Donna Maria, who probably spent the vast majority of her time in the bunker cursing the stupid white teenaged girls, which made it even funnier to me.

"We're the ghostbusters of rock and roll!"

I had taken those things completely as jokes, strictly because they're way too dark to be anything else. I think Lynn has the same cheerful self-effacement aspect to his personality that Charles has — it's awesome to take one for the team! — that those moments, while played completely sincere, don't read as…

I thought that the Oscars broadcast did an amazing job making NPH seem charmless and terrible! That was an amazing feat!

Unfortunately, even though I really enjoyed the steak at one point, the memory of the meatloaf if so awful I refuse to have the steak ever again, because I can recognize the ingredients that they share and it makes me want to vomit.

I took the joke differently than you, I think — I read it as Charles thinks that Jake is so inherently awesome that, even though Lynn clearly loves his son, the obvious pick for ANYONE's best man would be Jake.

Netflix really thinks I'm going to care about House of Cards and the shitty paranormal original series they create even though I've never clicked on any of them and promotes them to me constantly, yet despite me watching 30 Rock constantly — including rewatching some episodes on Thursday — they didn't promote it at…

I really loved the thread of female empowerment running through the show — it shouldn't be a surprise given the theme song ("females are strong as hell"), but it was really lovely seeing the running threads of women on the show recognizing and calling out the toxic behavior of men around them and not giving in to it.

I just finished the season, and while I never saw Liz Lemon — the show is enough removed from 30 Rock for me that I didn't think she'd fit in this show's world well — there were definitely some jokes and themes that overlapped with 3 Rock and Bossypants, roughly forming what I think of as Tina Fey's point of view.

You're not alone, I mixed those same episodes up talking to my husband the other day.

Semi-relatedly, I actually don't like saying "having a baby" — I prefer saying "pregnant". It's just not true that all pregnancies result in babies: some combinations of sperm plus egg aren't viable, sometimes the woman/couple choose not to continue the pregnancy, sometimes spontaneous abortions/miscarriages happen…

Dear Nudeador,

It is necessary to suffer to have an above-average dick.

Seriously! That reads like evo-psych bullshit where the author blames women for his having a tiny dick.

…I love the books, I've read AFFC at least four times, and that had never clicked for me until now. Good point.
