I just want to say that for all the snarky, rudely written articles I’ve endured on this website, the tone of this one is now my least favorite. Even the title comes across as incredibly insensitive and mocking towards her very real pain. As someone still mourning the death of my dog, who was the most precious

At the risk of doxxing myself (who am I kidding, I’m in the greys), I was at a party where the host and others were dressed in a group theme one might call “shark attack.” One person was a shark, one a ship captain, and the other guy was the victim. His leg was “bit off” and he had blood all over it... Fast forward an

This was during later college years, so later 80's. Went to a house party of a friend of the person I was dating. We went as Zombie Jackie O and Dead Kennedy (always fond of Halloween costume puns). As DJFK, I had fake blown out brains and blood on the side of my head, and wore a cheap consignment shop suit in which I

I hosted a Halloween party on Halloween proper, which fell on a Saturday that year. About 60% of the guest list also went out costumed bar-hopping Friday night, got shit face wasted and were too hungover to try again Saturday so they all last-minute cancelled their attendance.

Halloween needs to be the last Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the month.

I was working as a cocktail waitress in a topless bar, and it was exactly as tedious, gross, and demoralizing as you would imagine it to be. One night, I went to close out a table of older men, and when they started talking in front of me about what to tip me. One of them turned to me and said “Honey, here’s a tip for

The accused lives their life and the survivor pick up the pieces every single day.

Well now I’m crying.

you seem like a great person!

That’s what’s so gross about this. For this in particular they’re screaming 1) parental rights, and when that doesn’t fly 2) that kids who need medical exemptions won’t get them. The problem is that with the current law, CA doctors are SELLING fake exemptions for bullshit things. Like if you spike a low-grade after a

I’m on the board at my temple. It turned out that (a) we didn’t have an official vaccination policy for the summer camp because most of our congregation isn’t stupid and (b) someone in our congregation is an anti-vaxxer and was trying to claim a religious exemption.

Ther Brits would absolutely love Piano Sex Island.

BraGa Ra Ah Ah BraGa Rah Ah Ah

Even if a Gaga/Cooper coupling never happens, Piano Sex Island is a bankable reality show concept. Make it so.

This is the only comment that matters.

It’s because he’s experiencing a bit of a career renaissance with the John Wick movies (specifically the third one coming out). And then his cameo in Always Be My Maybe was all-time funny. And he’s in the new Toy Story. He’s everywhere right now.

I’m with you here. The biting tone doesn’t really fit for this piece.

And it doesn’t sound like *he* expects special adulation for being mindful of others, so there’s something that comes off as mean-spirited in that suggestion.

Wow this was a completely unnecessary article. Not everything has to be hated on. He seems pleasant. People are excited by a pleasant person. Why the handwringing? 

Counterpoint: Maybe we’re getting a little TOO cynical when we have to question something as innocuous as Keanu Reeves being a nice guy. Anyway, if Keanu Reeves is the “truly low standard” for being a good man, I can’t even imagine what the high standard is.
