I’ve had friendship breakups at work, and it was petty and tiring and super-uncomfortable. I’d hate to have a romantic relationship breakup at work because that would have so many more expections dashed, multiplying the discomfort.

Yes, and the idea prescribed by society that women must pretend not to want sex when they want it doesn’t help. Some men reason [wrongly] that women are playing hard to get and want to be pressured after saying no or not saying yes in anyway. I’ve heard men use this as an excuse not to listen women and push them…

I don’t get how people think that other horrible people will suddenly not be horrible to you because your self-esteem planets aligned. That lends itself to victim blaming because the first thing someone will say is that you somehow had a hand in your own harassment (or worse) because of your attitude.

Yes. Most men feel the only rape that happens is the jogger-in-the-park type, and that the only rapists (or racists) are mustache-twirling villains who take joy in being evil and actively acknowledge that they’re bad people.

Ask them nicely to pull back and explain how there’s scientific evidence that tailgating makes things worse for everyone. Or offer to drive. Or guilt trip them with something like “what would happen if we got in an accident and I died? Would that make you happy? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?!” Or sing this until they stop:

Indeed. People will never care about how their actions affect those behind them. There simply is not that much empathy in a crowd mentality. Remove the cars and you still have people stopping their stroller in the middle of a walkway in an amusement park; or someone stopping out of nowhere in front of you in the mall…

I would like to remind you that without twitter, there will be a televised Special Announcement from the President of the United States at least three times a week. He will be heard. And he’ll demand it be broadcast on whatever cable channel you like. Exactly when the show you want to watch is set to air. Imagine all…

“I managed to catch Rush Limbaugh...”

Apparently, Not a Nazi = Far Left.

He looks like 10 pounds of shit in a 5 pound bag.

I never noticed it before, but that photo of Trump looks like my dead lesbian aunt. Vicky knew her way around the links and frequently found herself in the rough.

I agree with everything you said and I also want you to know that I love your cat.

And because I wasn’t clear, you need to do your due diligence with rescues as well.

Not that I’m a fan of going after 82 year old humans, but the whole thing of physically altering dogs to suit our tastes is pretty awful and we need to stop doing that.

I bet that every one of those people would be 100% behind shooting dead an unwelcome intruder in their bedroom.

OK, but in many countries, support for abortion has risen over the past half-century, from both left-wing and right-wing people. I’d bet there’s a strong correlation between that and the decline of religion as a driving force in people’s lives. one thing that can be changed is the influence religious groups are…

I guess it’s to illustrate that the person is “intelligent and sane”. But it’s a stupid, lazy analogy. I have a friend who has several masters degrees and he’s the least intelligent, most unstable weirdo I’ve ever met.

Can’t we put all the crying babies on one plane? Maybe mix in a few teenagers to scare them into birth control? Add Samuel L. Jackson just because?

A lot of the victims of airline abuse seem to have something in common... I can’t quite put my finger on it... if I think hard enough, I’m sure I’ll come up with the white answer.
