They actually have been working on a vaccine but they can't test unless there is an outbreak. Lucky us, we now have an outbreak.

Exactly. I can give you countless stories of people who met offline and through friends/family/work and still acted in despicable ways. Some people are just asshole and the internet just lets them meet more people.

Yeah, her shows are quite soapy but I am so happy that Rhimes is killing it because it proves that audiences do like female leads and diverse casts. And that those shows can earn a ton of money.

I had a red-eye a couple of years ago that had two really inconsiderate chatters on board. One row in front of me these two middle-aged women decided to have a 2 hour long conversation at normal talking volumes. Worse, one of the woman did not have a seat in her friends row so she stood in the aisle making the sound…

I think a big thing is that physical abuse is always coupled with psychological abuse. The abuser makes the victim feel responsible for the abuser's actions. The shame that victims feel is immense. Add to that that the abuser often isolates the victim from family and friends so reaching out for help becomes more…

This is pretty much how I feel. I just don't enjoy the sport anymore for all the reasons you listed.

I'm a woman and I like the Sansa chapters but find Daenerys pretty boring. I enjoy Jon Snow even if he is a GOT Holden Caulfield. Also, I find Stannis a thousand times more interesting in the books than I do in the TV series.

It's also too shiny.

Yeah, I don't like traveling with my laptop and I don't own a tablet (I don't generally travel for work, just leisure). I don't want to have to carry that shit with me when I have long flights and am staying in hotels. And I hate watching stuff on my smartphone.

I think it's the non-consensual/violation aspect that they like. They are voyeurs and that's how they get their jollies. My mom (and other female neighbors) dealt with a peeping tom back in the 70s and the police told her that peeping is just the beginning for these types of offenders- they often escalate to sexual…

There was a NPR Storycorp addressing this very thing last week: http://www.npr.org/2014/08/15/340…

I laughed so hard at his kid's Christmas list and hope that becomes a yearly regular.

I'm below the line crew and 5'6" and I'm the same height or taller than most of the male stars in the films I've worked on. I tower over most of the female leads.

Yeah, if I invited my friends kids we'd have another 30 people at our wedding which we can't afford. Plus our venue is not kid friendly- lots of places to get hurt, not place to safely run around and play. I completely understand when someone can't get a babysitter or can't afford one, totally fine to decline. I have…

She's picking a fight. She could just handle hurt feelings in private and say the same things. Instead she's challenging people to fight her. It's like she's saying, "Dear enemies you are not invited to my wedding for reasons." Most people who talk shit about other people don't like those people so likely wouldn't…

Yes, I agree these people are being unreasonable. I'm planning my own wedding now and it's adults only. Some of our friends can't come because of childcare issues and that's totally OK. We told them not to worry that they'll be there in spirit. If a guest had last minute childcare issues, like a babysitter canceled,…

Some people look for a way to have hurt feelings though. A friend of my S.O.'s is getting married. We weren't invited- which is totally fine. We're friends but not close and people just have to make cuts somewhere and sometimes that means us. Anyway, our mutual friends who were invited got all offended on our behalf…

This has nothing to do with being rich. If you don't want to or can't afford to get a babysitter and decline the invitation I think that's totally fine- an invitation is not an obligation. It's having the expectation that your kids get invited that is wrong. On the flip side, the bride and groom should be…

Sounds like you are making unfounded conclusions.

I think the bride in this article is way out of line. My comment here is about how the ridiculous behavior can also be perpetuated by guests.
