WTF HBO? You are not subject to the whims of advertisers. Do you think Girls has a lot of conservative viewers that would be turned off by an erect penis? Do you have no notion that the popularity of Girls has a lot to do with the buzz surrounding the show and doing something like that could ONLY be good for…

No it wasn't. Same as the punishment for wearing a skirt is not getting raped. Courtney was murdered, not punished.

God fucking damnit this makes me so mad and sad. I didn't think about her often or know her (obv) but I respected this woman as a badass who seemed so much in control of herself. Even though life can be very very hard for everyone at times, it always can get better.

One of the few things I knew about her was that she…

I've heard that to, and the same about U2 (basically hate each other, in it for the money,) and it seems logical if you've ever met human beings. Considering the pressure that famous bands must be under in to produce together and stay together is intense. I've certainly never had many friends let alone coworkers I…

And because "It Gets Better Project" is widely considered to be the mantra of the (predominantly white and financially secure) "Gay Inc" charity types, most specifically the founders Dan Savage and his husband. It is not reflective of the experiences of many LGBT people, who face just as much difficulty, though not…

Well, if it's a bunch of emotionally distraught people saying shit like "We need to know the truth! The Malaysian government is a bunch of cheats. All the governments of the world must join together to pressure the Malaysian government to give an explanation" then it's not surprising the Malaysian government isn't…

Also, takes an impressive amount of ostrich-headedness to imagine that "shit they wanted" is naturally going to include a physical appearance that looks like some imaginary composite of beauty, rather than your actual appearance. Just like if they wanted a Louis Vuitton bag or a Ferrari, that's probably just because…

I think I neglected to reply back in the day, so I'll just say I agree! Whole heartedly. I am afraid of being alone. Not in the short-term, I like being alone for an evening or a day, but I fear that this will turn into a lifetime of no meaningful connections with another person. I am working on this fear, and I think…

Ha, I mean no shade on Martha. She truly has the goods to back up her success, and for the longest time she had a completely unblemished career and people truly wanted her wares (nowadays it's more of a media empire.) But now any airhead with a name and success in several arenas looks to Martha as an example of the…

It reeks, and I think I blame Martha. I think it would be a good thing for Martha to cut a bitch with one of her Martha branded ceramic artisan demi-lunes (or just any other knife.)

These common boundaries are normal among monogamous couples, but writhing in music videos with members of the opposite sex is uncommon for all people. He is controlling her career and her actions as they existed for her entire adult life, including throughout other long-term committed relationships. The same is not…

It does mean he might be an asshole as well as an idiot for choosing to be with the one woman with whom he has to control her career to suit his needs. Most partners available to a famous footballer would not require any possessive forbidding to prevent them from appearing in sexually charged music videos.

Talentless wealthy wife-of types that now make up the most successful interior designers in the world are why I had to tune out of the industry coverage of the subject I most love. With a talented, hard-working designer, the possibilities for beautiful creation in that field are amazing. But now it's just full of…

Lol, doesn't she know being pathetically aspirational is only suitable for good little informed consumers?

A dry cappuccino specifies that there be no actual milk, with a regular cappuccino being mostly foam, with some milk on top of an espresso shot. A dry macchiato would seem to be mostly espresso with only a touch of foam - skim foam at that. It's an immensely pretentious way to order what essentially an espresso shot.

Oh, the fact that every single Romani perpetrates organized crime? Cool, thanks for clearing that up.

Perhaps, so it's unfair to assume she wouldn't. It's sort of striking to view a sort of ingrained prejudice like that (which all societies have) from a completely removed vantage.

I have a much less specifically informed perspective as I'm from Canada where people are completely unconscious of any fellow Roma citizens, but it does occur to me that every single society has historically marginalized classes or cultures that are maligned in the present for showing symptoms of being a people that…

Your ex should probably realize that the generalizing reductive term is even more offensive if it actually applies to you. Unless every single Gypsy/Roma makes a career of doing shit like this (I wouldnt know but I have a hard time believing there aren't lots of genetic Roma who just want to live and be treated like…

I didn't pick up what OITNB meant and I didn't know her name, so I came her to post the same thing. Laverne on Orange is the New Black, I thought, was an excellent portrayal of a trans person. I am not trans so I won't speak to it being actually realistic, but I love the actor and the inclusion of issues that she…
