No kidding. I work in Century City and a subway stop would be a total game changer.

I lived with someone who was HIV positive. The drug cocktail is very taxing on your liver, so alcohol is a bad idea. Shame, because of all the people who could probably use a drink, it’s those with HIV.

OMG the bathrooms. I forgot about that. So annoying. When I was there Jax refused to take selfies. He was actually kind of an ass about it.

LA resident here - SUR isn’t that fancy. It has the atmosphere of a hotel bar where no one is a local, with lots of....plants. Like so many plants and flowers. Lots of going to da club outfits. And dear lord, you should see what these people look like in real life. I spoke to someone who I assume was Scheana, but I…

I feel like David must have had a lobotomy at some point. He’s not the most dynamic Househusband.

There’s a PODCAST?? You just made my year.

This makes me want to start watching RH of Hotlanta.

As a rape victim who experienced a similar kind of backlash, I honestly think people don’t want to believe that someone is capable of doing something that heinous, let alone the nice guy everyone in the neighborhood knows. This chick is one brave mo-fo, and needs to get herself the fuck out of that town.

UGH. I was a dancer, and when I stopped starving myself and went up to a size 4 (gasp!), she suggested I start dancing again. I’m a triathlete now, and my mom is “surprised” that I’m not skinnier. Skinny doesn’t get me through hour 2-3 of the race, Mom. Thx.

I agree. There’s a lot of Precious Snowflake Syndrome in these comments. While some people chose not to have kids or be around them, we all have to acknowledge that kids and babies exist and we might encounter them if we go outside. I chose not to have a child, but I don’t see a reason to have a shit fit if a kid is…

I have no patience for people who try to continue this “debate.” To quote John Oliver on the phenomenon of those who share their opinions on scientific data and conclusive studies: “Who gives a shit? You don’t need people’s opinion on a fact. You might as well have a poll asking: “Which number is bigger, 15 or 5?” or…

That is not correct.

Are you my first troll? I’m honored. Stop with the swearing. It doesn’t help make your point. I wasn’t saying that all Japanese women eat sushi while pregnant or generally. I certainly don’t have a problem with them eating sushi (or not) while pregnant, if they do. I wasn’t making a value judgement about Japanese…

Please tell me you also eat sushi. I had a pregnant friend who would not stop complaining that she had sushi cravings and couldn’t eat sushi. Her doctor told her not to. Are you telling me women in Japan don’t eat sushi while pregnant?? SHUT UP and eat some yellowtail.

“Victorians were really remarkably weird about a whole lot of stuff”

Absolutely. We need to dispense entirely with the idea that “good kids” don’t have sex generally. It closes off the discussion both between teenagers and adults, and also within teen peer groups. Even good kids make mistakes, do stupid things, and have misconceptions about what is acceptable behavior - not that…

Very well written. I’m sad to hear that the rape culture I experienced in the late 90’s has changed so little. I did not attend a boarding school, but I did attend an elite private school in the Southeast from 7-12th grade. I had similar interactions with our headmaster and principal following my own sexual assault…

But is the dog ok now???

I worked for a well-known producer in the film industry. I would describe him as mentally unstable, but also encouraged by an industry culture that celebrates working 16 hour days, not promoting people, and berating assistants and interns. I was once told to get a visa for a friend on 24 hours notice, which obviously…

Where is this? Looks like a great course.
