Nobody says warm condolences. It’s not an expression. There’s deepest condolences, and warmest regards. In fact, if you google warmest condolences it is JUST people going “who the hell says that?”

I’ve decided the only conclusion here is confusion. He knew it went with something that ended in -est, as in deepest condolences, but couldn’t remember the word, so went with warmest? I’ve run a few scenarios here and that seems to be the only one that isn’t just it being deliberately weird and off key.

Ok but you haven’t answered the question. For it to be rape there must be a perpetrator. Who here is “doing” the raping? Who, specifically, is being raped by whom?

So... who raped who? If they are all children, and all the boys are having sex with the one girl, and none can give consent it’s rape by... the monster? Who’s being raped in this scenario? Everyone?

In Stephen King’s ouvre men and boys are raped in Different Seasons, The Library Policeman, It, The Stand, The Shawshank Redemption, The Shining (if you consider non consentual sex with a ghost rape; also the rape of Dick Halloran), The Green Mile, The Dark Tower series, Salem’s Lot.

He’s a horror writer. He writes about horrifying things. You are meant to be horrified.

So you think of the poor treatment of heavier women and the association of heavier weights with poor character as a particularly French thing, do you?

No, just expected to stay a healthy weight and hopefully not starve themselves. That particular law was triggered by a model who died of anorexia and another who fainted on the catwalk. They are just being asked to remain within healthy limits. And people here are talking a lot about BMI but that’s actually only one…

Employed as a model. Not employed in general.

Yes, anther commenter mentioned this. I suppose it’s all about how you look at it. I doubt the people saying “I’ve been dreaming about this since I was a little girl!” were dreaming about tax breaks, but I appreciate that is a factor to the adult decision. For the rich and famous I’m not sure it matters. I doubt…

I see what you’re doing here and I commend you for it, but as someone who has commented here for nearly a decade I can tell you it’s not going to make any difference. No matter how many Brock Turners, or Bill Cosbys, or Hugh Hefners there are, when Polanski comes up the conversation quickly becomes ‘The French are…

And is apparently running an underage brothel. This commenter has some interesting stories to tell but is either just randomly trolling or is refusing to elaborate. Which is a shame. I’d rather hear this than the bizarre and mindless Europe bashing going on up the page.

I hear what you’re saying. I think in ScarJo’s case it still seems weird to me. I’m always a bit weirded out when people talk about celebs like they are the close friend of the infamous close friend who revealed things, but she does seem to have always been fairly open about preferring to be single.

That all makes sense. And how awful for your friend. I’m sorry to hear about it.

See above. I think Americans tend to automatically marry long term(ish) partners in a way that just is no longer as common outside of the US. I’ve had a number of long term relationships. I assumed, while in them, they were “forever”, but I didn’t marry. I’m 41 and have spent most of my life either in Europe or…

No, I don’t think this is a Hollywood thing, I think its an American thing. The whole “dream wedding/ marriage” etc is not a big a deal other places. It’s really just not.

Fair, but then why marry them? She’s had two 3 year long marriages already and she’s 31. It seems like if she wants to play the field just do it, but then again I’m not American and I know marriage is a fairly common “finalisation” of dating there in a way it really isn’t in other places.

I dyed my hair blonde for quite a long time (in fairness, kinda peroxide blondge so there was no mistaking it for natural) and I was treated differently by men. Initially I was like wow people are so much nicer to me this is great and the I slowly realised wait... this isn’t “nice” this is something else. Something…

She also spells sleazy “sleezy”. I love this game. Now she’s set herself up as The Best Ever At English I’m just sitting here, licking my red pen.

You cannot school me on grammar, colloquialisms, syntax, or word use. I do it for a living, so pick another battleground.
