You’re conflating thoughts with actions. Thoughts and feelings may just happen, but threatening someone’s life and family is not an involuntary reflex, it's a decision that was 100% within their control. No one is holding anyone “responsible” (weird use of quotes btw) for thought crimes here, just for the stupid…

Eh, except one of those is linked to core values and one is not. People vote for candidates who share their worldview - if the candidate who appeals to you (not you) is saying and doing things that also appeal to neo nazis, you are associating yourself with them (the candidate AND the neo nazis) and what they stand…

You’d classify “we know where you live and where your kids go to school” as a prank call?

Man, I just LOLed at crinkle dick. I appreciate you.

I would totally invest in this.

Fuck yes. I love that you could give those assholes a tiny smidgen of what they actually deserve (and that nothing terrible happened to you).

My boyfriend grew up with a friend group like this, and hanging out with them used to fill me with anxiety. I just had no idea how to line up “hanging out and talking shit to each other” with my idea of friendship. They’ve fallen out of touch through the years, for which I am silently grateful.

I have an immediate gag reflex re: the phrase “make love with/to me” (same goes for “falling for you,” just, ugh).

I haven’t watched it yet, mostly because I was afraid it would just be *too real* (I’d rather forget the days of pretending I was just really IN to oversized t-shirts and mom-style bermuda shorts). Those Delia*s catalogs were like a dagger through my teen heart, just like trying to shop at Limited Too was as a tween.

BUT, their love of profit is tempered by the possible stigma attached to catering to plus-size people. I think some brands truly believe that their ~*~fashion~*~ cache will be diminished if fat people can fit into their clothing.

Same! I’m right on that size 12 bubble where you might be able to find something in the straight sizes, or you could end up crying in the dressing room with one arm stuck in a tiny shirt. Fun game!

My school had uniforms, but we were allowed to wear navy/khaki dickies for the bottoms – I still remember how embarrassing it was to have to try on the adult man dickies because the cute flared girls ones only went up to a 9 :( :(

He still just kind of looks like an asshole here, but a really really foxy one.

I got in to one of these the other day, too, and it is still fucking with my brain to know that you can present these people with cold hard facts that they think they can refute with feelings and blog posts. At the end, she asked why we couldn’t just “agree to disagree and respect each other’s opinions” (because your…

I’ve heard this advice before, but I can never follow it because being with someone who loves me more than I love them makes me feel too guilty (is that bad?) I’m more of the WH Auden school of thought – “if equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me”

I’ve started ordering only from places I have literally seen/driven by before, I'm so paranoid

I feel EXACTLY the same way. It’s like he ruins everything just be being

I had to break the cord between my coddled bf and his Mom a few years back and it wasn’t pretty .

She doesn’t have the capacity for self-reflection, it seems. Negative consequences are never because of what she did, it’s just because people can’t “handle her truth” or some shit.

This kind of person is usually also incapable of any kind of self-reflection or acknowledgment that what they said was terrible. Any/all negative reactions can be attributed to a) haters or b) people who can’t “handle the truth.”(lol forever)
