yes to this - that "homewrecker" trope is my least favorite way that people (usually male people) get to abdicate all responsibility for their willies. I couldn't help it! She STOLE me!

Aren't Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer in an actual open relationship, though? Not sure what that arrangement entails, but people on Tumblr are always asking him why he isn't jealous about stuff his wife does

So true. There is really nothing more gratifying than a living being being SO happy to see you (even when you're late/grouchy/hungover)

Same here! My ASMR is only triggered by voices when it's unintentional (some of the voices in stories on programs like This American Life, or audiobooks) - these whisper videos make me feel a bit sick, maybe because it feels like they're staring at you/putting it on.

I once dated a guy who gave me essentially this exact justification for not deleting his Plenty of Fish profile after I found it open on his computer TWICE - once 2 months in and once 4 months in after he said he "just wouldn't check it anymore." IMO (and in my experience), the actual existence of the profile isn't…

So basic, but still so necessary to say. Made that mistake as a 21-year old law firm receptionist, but by a stroke of incredible luck he quit the next week and moved to a firm in San Francisco. (It wasn't because of me. I think.)

Please stop calling women females.

It's so shitty to have to live our lives this way, isn't it? I live in LA (with a car), but I only have street parking at my apartment. My friends get miffed when I beg off after-work happy hour in the winter, but uhhhh if I get home after 7 pm or so, I am definitely parking at least 6 blocks away, maybe more. And…

My mom took me to one of those in 3rd grade (I suspect she had no idea what it actually was). 15 years later, I still occasionally have nightmares about the Hell room where the girl who got an abortion had to writhe around like she was burning [for all eternity] all night

TRUE. I just cringed and thought, "Damn. Not the glasses, asshole!"

Nigel Barker is THE grossest. I wasn't Mr. Jay's #1 fan, but he is was better than that skeezy British weirdo.

Oh, I think I like you. Nigel Barker, however...

I know a girl who I thought was smart, funny and pretty all-around cool, until I discovered that she self-identifies as a "Chivette." There goes that friendship.

I'm crying. This really does read like the adjective-heavy writing in my early HS notebooks. Really overwrought stuff.

Oh my god. As a writer of internet copy (which is frequently cheesy/embarrassing because it has to be), this made me cringe HARD. You can't be a Belieber in someone whose last name isn't Bieber (and you definitely can't be a believer "of" something)

I totally know what you mean! I've also been both skinny and heavier, and there was something almost comforting about being a bigger girl. I never had the reverse experience of receiving "negative" attention from strange dudes because I was heavy — creepy eyes on the street just glossed right over me like I was…

EDIT - wait, nevermind, figured out the syntax there.

I'm in the process of losing weight, and as I've gotten smaller I've noticed the frequency with which I get hollered at has increased (which SOMEHOW does not motivate me to go to the gym)

Or an Austin. I have met so many d-bag club dudes named Austin.

You definitely have a point that it's hard to know what is considered offensive in religions that aren't your own, but after the Ganesh sock snafu, UO should have maybe remembered the whole "don't put this particular deity by your feet" rule, right?
