I mean but what woman hasn’t worn hair ties on her wrist? And with no issues like this. So either this is a freak isolated incident, didn’t happen, or there was some other hygiene issue going on. Otherwise surely this would be a more widespread problem.

Language barrier. She didn’t speak much English, he doesn’t speak amy portoguese. I think it was portoguese anyway, dint remember. Anyway, he tries to learn it but isn’t especially successful.

“Twitter fascists will kill anyone who suggests there’s such a thing as movies with a gender-centric appeal because it argues with their non-denominational view of things in which everyone is everything and there are no gender-centric movies because it’s sexist to even use that term because 2015 is all about, you…

Kind of opposite, but my twin who is masculine presenting gender queer was on the bride's side (along with me) in my brother's wedding. They wouldn't wear a dress and the bride didn't ask them to, so they wore the same suit as the groomsmen but with bowtie and buttonier that matched the bridesmaid's dresses and…

Agreed. My sister and I were in my brother's wedding on the bride's side - we both would have preferred to either be on our brother's side or not in the wedding at all. And the bride seemed to have asked more out of a sense of feeling like she SHOULD than any real affection. She's sweet, and she likes us, but it…

In my brother's wedding a couple weeks ago, my sister and I were asked to be bridesmaids but the bride's brother was not a groomsman. He did walk his mother down the aisle, though.

I was just in my brother's wedding; my SIL had myself and 3 other bridesmaids as well as her maid of honor and we all wore the same dress which must have been magic because the color and style worked on each of us.

You articulated what I thought much better than I did. While this piece is true I found it somewhat...pretentious in talking about the 'real' Paris. As though anyone who's never been can't properly mourn for it.

This could have been written about any major city in the world. London, New York, Venice... they all have their own set of romantic stereotypes and idyllic pictures that tourists have in mind when they visit. There’s a slight air of pretention around this...that only people who have been to Paris and know the city…

Ugh I work in a program that helps people like Smith get jobs and we recently had something similar happen with a client who was working at a grocery store. In that instance I believe he found a small bit of money in the parking lot and was fired for pocketing it.

Not to do with sick days, but years ago when I was in middle school we had were friends with this family - they had a daughter in her senior year in high school. She had lupus. She'd gotten sick, the flu or something... she went to the doctor and they wouldn't see her because of an outstanding medical bill that…

I get both sick time and vacation time, plus paid holidays.

I got blocked by him for mildly questioning his “foreigners are assholes” attitudes when they don’t know American tipping customs. I kinda just suggested that, though it should be, it isn’t covered in tourist guidebooks. And that Americans aren’t the greatest at knowing or respecting other cultures customs when they…

Not Mark! I love Mark :( I never read kitchenette or milhellen much so that hurts less but why

It’s true that most attacks are carried out by someone you know - you still need protection in that case. This is as good as anything.

Treating the Holocaust as a singular case from which we can draw no conclusions and to which we can make no comparisons is academically naive and politicly irresponsible.

Thank you. I didn’t immediately name my rape as rape, and even when I did I qualified it as non-violent or not “RAPE rape.” And it took me over a year to tell more than one person about it. And throughout that year I blame myself for everything that happened. When I finally told my mom a few weeks ago, I cried for…

This in no way denies the Holocaust. We can compare things that are happening now with things that happened then without denying it or its severity.

On John Mulaney’s new Netflix special, he tells a story about his mother having met Bill Clinton in college and years later going to a campaign event for him. Her husband says “as if he’ll remember you” and instantly I thought well, yes he will. People like him become incredibly successful because they make it a point…

Wait how? That makes exactly zero sense
