Yea, I feel bad for his daughter too but she seems like a cheerful enough kid (she’s 15). Maybe he’s different with her? Honestly I know what it’s like to have a dad who throws grown-up temper tantrums (mine still does and he’s 65) but the difference is my dad also has his very happy, upbeat and enthusiastic moods.…

Yea. I’m not sure she can do much more than she’s already...like she’s tried to “explain” to him that he’s being unreasonable but, well, he’s not a reasonable person. I think he doesn’t understand her reasoned arguments (or mine). I did basically give his shit back to him a few days ago and told him he was being…

Yes, his wife and I were friends before I moved in, which makes things super awkward and shitty for her too (they’re both 20+ years older than me by the way, but I know her through mutual interests and she’s sort of like an older sister type of friend). She doesn’t blame me but she doesn’t seem to find his behavior…

Hey Jezzies, seeking advice:

The spirit room jumps to mind for me too.

Same. Man, those movies had so much in them that I liked. I get why people don’t like them as a whole, but they are so full of interesting things...haha I just watched a really good fan re-edit of I-III recently and now all I want to do is dissect them all over again...

Personally I have favored the Pilot G-tech for 10+ years. If they ever discontinue them I’ll cry.

While working at a bookstore I learned that e-readers are actually very popular among the retirement-age crowd because you can increase the size of the type - would never have thought of that! Large-print books are actually pretty hard to come by compare to just buying an e-reader.

I think Padme is under-appreciated as a character. She is a talented politician, can fend for herself in violent action-y situations and has the best wardrobe I have ever seen either in sci fi or in real life. And of course it’s not NP’s fault all Padme’s good scenes were cut from the third movie and she was left to…

God I need this today. I am currently trying not to beat myself up over a fuckup with my living situation, which is certainly not wholly my fault, but it’s hard not to feel shitty about it. I am moving in a month, but still have to spend a month with this person who told me I am the “least friendly person he’s ever…

I think my resolution is to get better at appropriately dealing with condescending people. I look young for my age and I don’t have a “big” personality on first impression so I seem to encounter them more than average. I’m tired of just ignoring and accepting it, however I don’t want to respond by being an asshole,…

I think it must be different for everyone based on personality/ circumstances. Maybe for some, female friendships really are more complicated. I wouldn’t really know; they’re the only kind I’ve ever had. I didn’t have a lot of friends as a kid, but those I had were girls. As an adult, I wouldn’t have a first clue how…

I don’t think there is one—I mean, regional cultures, yeah. I’m originally from the east coast of Canada (which is very white) and my cultural heritage is pretty much flannel shirts, bagpipes, kitchen parties, and frowning upon anyone who “puts on airs”. But I’d hardly generalize that to all white people, lol.

Yea, I’ve known women like this. Their needs are pretty simple and essentially come down to 1) expensive clothes, 2) exclusive parties, 3) someone to give them attention. If that’s what you want then I’m sure Leo fulfills all three.

I’m just a lowly almost-30-year-old, but I think one of the most useful things my retired dad ever told me was “the only people my age who actually still need to work for money are people who have been divorced”. I realize that’s a fairly privileged outlook and there are lots of people both single and married who have…

I’m not totally alone, just had a lovely dinner with the people I live with, but they will be away tomorrow and I will be alone then. I’m kind of unhappy that none of my friends in my area have invited me to do anything on Christmas day. I know they mostly have family stuff going on, but I feel like at least one of…

For some reason I feel like every year Jezebel or Gawker (when it existed) had some kind of “fuck this year” post. Maybe that’s not actually true and I just made it up in my head. But I’ve definitely seen posts on here in the past listing all the bad things that happened in a given year. I understand that some people…

Yea, the gender dynamics felt very OT with Leia being the female lead surrounded by dudes.

Yea, I noticed the sausage fest thing too. (NO complains about Diego Luna though. NONE AT ALL.) I do appreciate films that feature a woman as being part of the struggle and respected by the men around her. However, I really wish we could get more action/ fantasy films that prominently featured relationships between…

I don’t watch a lot of shows because I’m really picky but if you haven’t seen it yet, I recommend Sense8, I loved it. I also just recently started watching Incorporated, there have been only three episodes thus far but if you like vaguely unsettling dystopian corporate futures, it’s pretty good. So far each episode…
