I don’t know the situation but I think you are reading a lot into this. It sounds like a frustrated mom dealing with a major transition period in the relationship. The rest is just projection. Eta: and to add, young people also have to learn to have a relationship as an adult with their parents. It’s usually a mutual…

Hey, all you people who so confidently proclaim that you can’t imagine how anyone could ever like Chipotle and it’s not real food:

The comments on this thread are really making me upset. I feel like people are shaming people for being upset about losing functionality of an expensive product at a time when they need it most. People on this program are working hard to lose weight and it’s hard enough to do especially at Thanksgiving. I don’t think…

You clearly have no idea why this app is helpful. It’s not just about writing it down. Did you even read the article?

Yeah, TV shows and movies do cover up men’s poor behaviour towards women, demonize women, and act as if body pressures are a “girl-on-girl hate” issue. And all that is totally false. Good point!

“You need to lose 10lbs off your butt” - THE LAST WORDS MY GRANDMOTHER SAID TO ME BEFORE SHE HAD A STROKE AND BECAME NONVERBAL AND DIED.

“You rarely hear stories about dads treating their sons like crap”

“I have had 5 kids and I am not as fat as you” my mom to me at the first xmas I brought my husband to. She then attempted to make out with my husband in the bathroom and when he rebuffed her, asked her boyfriend to kick his ass. She was not drunk.

Oh man, my mother would only buy me those kind of brands too (she has a debilitating Macy’s addiction, previously Filene’s before they closed up shop). One time she and I were going on a school trip to Italy and she planned my wardrobe down to each half-hour excursion. I was dressed like a middle aged housewife,…

“I don’t know what you would have done if we hadn’t adopted you- you wouldn’t make a very good prostitute”. (Adopted as a child from a communist country. It was a true statment, but vulgar coming from a parent. Emancipated shortly there after).

As she was putting the turkey on the table for Thanksgiving dinner, “It’s a Butterball, just like Missy.”

My mom is an incredible woman but suffers from alcoholism. Sometimes she is a very mean drunk and during those times she has said the most cruel things about my appearance- seizing on my insecurities I had shared with her and throwing them back in my face. But the worst was when she sarcastically said my rape was hard…

In my day, if you wanted money, you put on a Catwoman costume and tickled a guy’s balls with a riding crop. That’s called EARNING IT.

“The way these guys got rich and successful is so abstract and bizarre. It’s internet-based, it’s not like they worked hard their whole life and pulled themselves up by their bootstraps,” she says. “They fucked around and made a stupid app and now they have a ton of money. It’s such a weird version of reality, that I…

I’m running out the door, so I don’t have time to go into detail, but this whole article seems pretty dismissive to me, and don’t even get me started on the illustration, which fucking sucks. I don’t like the infantilization of the submissive man in the image. Obviously, if age play is your kink, fine, but the idea…

When did progressive become a bad thing? So she’s anti progressive politics? She wants political regression? I’m so confused.

I too hate to be “that guy”, but I’m disappointed with the encouragement of bullshit stories associating the homeless/ mentally ill with demonic possession.

I think i believe in ghosts even less after reading these. “My entire family is psychic, hawaii is a hotbed of psychic activity. Here’s the ultimate proof: Once, a crazy man on a bus said “oh you can see me”, after i stared at him for 30 minutes. I freaked out, screamed at him and threw up.”

Happy Halloween!!
