Yes , that is how things are in LA. There’s a surprisingly huge population of at least slightly recognizable people so everyone here is bound to have a story about something crazy happening that also involves someone famous (also, gated communities are fairly rare everywhere east of Calabasas, celebs’ environs are…

Well this has been happening more lately, our pups are happy they made it back home.

In an even sadder statement, I think I’d be shocked stupid if there ever comes a point in my lifetime when we’re NOT engaging in hostilities in the Middle East. I look back at my naive high school self, when the first Gulf War happened, thinking, “Well, invading Kuwait is definitely a bad thing, so this will be a…

Hey everyone! We’ve reached the “cats and wine” stage of the evening. I’m trying to devote at least one hour each day to learning Spanish. Man, when I think how relatively easy it was to learn beginner Spanish in high school, and Italian in college, it makes my current pace of learning roughly a slow slog. Alas.

So this happened in this neck of the woods today, Army/Royal Navy detonated what appeared to an old forgotten gift from the Luftwaffe in the form of a 1000kg bomb.

I feel like I’m in a bit of a GroundHog’s Day loop. Same shit just a different day. After almost a year of us being home pretty much 24/7 tho I guess it’s expected. Anyone else getting down like this ? Don’t get me wrong, I’m very grateful we’ve managed to keep day to day life as normal as possible despite everything.…

Remember, the reason that Obama chose Biden as VP was that he was a conservative Democrat old white man with war hawk tendencies. If anyone thought that Biden was going to end our involvement in conflicts and war were either uninformed or kidding themselves.

Rent control laws in NY are complicated but one way is that the apartment was occupied by one of Monica’s older relatives (say a grandparent) and she moved in toward the end of said grandparent’s life and had her name put on the lease (which you can do if you’re a relative or spouse), so after the relative dies or…

Yes. It’s part of their mental illness. I lived with an abusive boyfriend for almost two years who displayed many narcissistic characteristics, gaslit me, and knew that I cared enough about him to not want him to kill himself, which was always the threat when things weren’t going his way. I was still in college at the…

I don’t really need to add anything to this but I’m bored so I figured I’d throw in a few more details for anyone that may care.

My roommate is a narcissistic sociopath. We had a massive argument three weeks ago and in that moment I contemplated slammed his face through the wall because he told me (more like screamed) that I was a little shit for working from home during a fucking pandemic. Because somehow my working from a makeshift office in…

Used in conjunction with gaslighting, this is often a way people get sucked into becoming the “other person” in extramarital affairs, too.

Years ago, this happened to me. A man constantly showered me with praise every time he saw me, constant compliments, including nonstop references to how I was prettier, smarter,…

I always thought that was pretty gross. IIRC (and I might not), wasn’t it Vince Gill’s wife who kept that narrative going because she wanted more in the divorce? I vaguely remember Amy Grant’s husband saying something like “he was devastated by their divorce, but didn’t think Amy cheated on him.”

Came here just to say this! While her “pop” music made the Christians nervous, like Shania Twain’s “pop” version of her “country” record made the country people nervous, Amy’s divorce scandalized a nation. They had a bunch of kids. And then to follow that up with a marriage to Vince Gill? FOR SHAME indeed. And they…

Dude, you hate this job, so quit. It’s allowed.

It's a white Republican. There's no inconsistency. Handouts for others encourage laziness. Handouts for me and mine are well-deserved rewards for all the work we do. Don't know why us libz can't understand that.

So, this asshole gets a well-paying job with a fucking pension, and admits he doesn’t do the job or even pretend to do the bare minimum?

The author of fight club is a gay man and that is the real twist for the ironically macho cult status that it holds among bro-dudes who took every word Tyler Durden said as canon

I took a Political Theory class in college where the final assignment was to write critiques of this movie from the perspectives of both Marx and Foucault. It was kind of awesome.

Fight Club was the first movie that I thought was worthy of buying DVD (remember them?) so that I could watch it again. Yet I never did. But I did read the book shortly later.
