I read the article without watching the video and agreed with all of this. Then I watched the video and almost died at how embarrassingly awkward it was. That wasn’t even a you did a decent job “It was dope!” but a full-on are you seriously going to make me comment oh god lemme try to pretend not to hate you “It was…

Right. Anything Questlove said in that moment was under professional duress.

Timberlake and Fallon are, like, an object lesson in how Hollywood will take anything that is kind of charming and drive it into the ground until you not only hate it, you hate yourself for ever having liked it.

I haven’t seen it yet, but as someone who’d be a huge Black Panther and Marvel MCU person, I’d be stunned if it was not as appropriate as Star Wars. The worse you may see is probably gonna be a not as bad as anything Kylo Ren did. Plus I fully believe Lupita and the Dora Milaje will give many black girls a strong role…

Their happiness and excitement made me unexpectedly burst into tears! Their joy makes me so happy.

OH MY GOD I’M SO EXCITED FOR THOSE EXCITED CHILDREN!!! how fucking wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do comp analysis as part of my finance/ops job and 1.5% is pretty meager, even for a cost-of-living adjustment.

Before scrolling I thought you were being a little judgmental. After...

Here is an image that is ideally suited to slowly scrolling down the screen. Starting from his head, at first I was like “well, sure” but then came the finale...

Right there with you - emotionally and physically abused by my Dad but still loved him (he passed away a number of years ago). It’s complicated but know that someone else does get it - you’re not alone.

I know what you mean. Abuse in families is really hard to navigate. My parents abused us and our relationship is complicated for that reason. But I still love them and want to maintain a relationship with them because, well, they’re my parents and I still want their love, too. I completely understand why some people…

science says we all actually change how events played out in our minds as time goes on

Armchair detective here. That Wagner is a poi makes me suspicious as fuck about him.

Same. My now-boyfriend got mad at me twice before we were “official”. The first time, he went radio silent for 3 days. On the third day, I texted him that I hoped he respected me enough to give me an explanation (I had no idea what I did) and if not, it was nice knowing him. He explained, we apologized, and things…

I may be biased, as I am divorced, but I am a way better partner because of my marriage. I got married young (23) and divorced after 5 years. I’ve been with my current partner for 2. I often joke that he gets me, version 2.0: “new, improved, and takes less bullshit”. I know what is important to me and what I can let…

You’re onto something. I’m an almost 34 single woman. I don’t want to date men in their 20s because ugh they are young and dumb and haven’t been broken in. I look at men in my age range and I think three things: socially awkward man child, internet “nice guy” or OMG he’s divorced and this is actually a thing I don’t…

You do you! The real question people should ask themselves is not “do I need to be married?” but rather “am I happy?” If you’re happy and single, then it’s working for you. And MANY people who are married can’t answer that second question with a “yes” btw.  

For me - being divorced/no kids is kind of a sweet spot. Guys seem to like the fact that I’m not just looking for a ring. I’m very clear that I’ve been there/done that... and I really don’t care if I get married again (like I can take it or leave it... whatever). I have no children, and I don’t want kids, so my…

I know you know this, but that guy did NOT deserve you. Dating is so fucking hard, so I can really empathize. But he seemed to just want to keep his options open and not commit, which is fine if the person is actually open about it. Dating apps have made everyone think they should just keep looking. It’s weird, I…

What about women who are older than you? I’m a 47 year old divorced woman and men in the 37-42 range are my sweet spot. Based on discussions with my cohorts I’m not alone in this either. But dating ladies like me means giving up on having kids of your own, since that shop is closed.
