Totally. But 2 Buck Chuck is always bad, people.

Life is too short to drink shitty wine. It really is.

I make it a policy to burn bridges hard after breakups, so I never got to find out what the exes who matter thought. When I found out my ex-fiancé had gotten engaged though (a couple years before I was happily committed), I went and got drunk and talked mad shit about him and his bride to a sympathetic friend.

No way. Your relationship with your ex ended. There’s no need to work your new relationship around your old one, it should be independant. If kids are involved or you and the ex stayed very close friends then that may warrant a more personal announcement - akin to how you might tell your parents, since you presumably…

No. You aren’t dating them anymore, they aren’t family, and it’s none of their business. Why would you?

Here I thought you were going to say “abbreviated story telling.”
Because that is what this show is doing way better than he is in the books.

You rang?

The way I read it:

I might have had your back if you hadn’t snuck the White privilege snark in there. Now I kind of think you’re just an entitled asshole with no self-awareness and that your kid is likely to be as well.

I don’t think he’s bisexual, just that he experimented and realized he was not into dudes so he stopped. But I feel like the vibes there took a tone that is frequently used at Bisexuals, especially Male bisexuals. This borderline machismo shit. Remember when few days ago Cate Blanchett pretty much said the same thing…

THE GUY WAS FROM THE TORONTO STAR. Wow, the reporter who asked Tom Hardy the stupidest and unfunniest question is likely Canadian. It was however very gratifying to hear the blaring silence that followed his question. He is drowning in “estrogen” at home? He needs to die choking on his own dick. Also, why the fuck is…

Well said. But there’s also something about the conservative Christian response that bugs me. ALOT. They act like men are thinking about sex & rape ALL. THE. TIME. They act like all men would molest/rape if they knew they could get away with it. One of the Duggar in laws seemed to imply that all men would have done…

It blows my mind that anyone can compare the two. A seven year old is not thinking about their body or anyone else’s in a sexual way. BUT HAS ANYONE EVER MET A 14 YEAR OLD BOY??

The article glosses over it, but I would argue one of the biggest victims here is Ruth. Catfishing sucks, there is no doubt - but Ruth has had someone seriously stalking her life and endangering her - imagine if a jilted boyfriend managed to track down Ruth thinking she was Leah, and got violent!

.... Raffey?

At the request of Lucille Booth’s favorite breakfast, here’s a reply I made downthread, to counter the WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY arguments:

Not sure what makes me feel older: Letterman retiring or two members of Nirvana performing in tuxedos (non-ironically)?

Sorry, low-paid Global Studies professor here, so this one hits close to home. It’s not difficult to shop ethically on a budget—but it does take more effort. It means cruising high-end consignment stores, it means checking labels, and shopping fair trade shops (like globalgirlfriend.com)—many of which are way cheaper…

Oh, Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn, Kaitlyn. You can’t violate Rule Two* of The Bachelor/ette’s weird internal morality code: nothing beyond kissing, at all, before the fantasy suites, then, once in the Fantasy Suite, sex is not only expected but is sacred and intimate and necessary to your “journey” and must be respected as such…

Yes, I would agree with that. When you’re faced with a death, a physical one, you are faced with accepting a new reality. The reality you had lived in is gone, even if that person, physically, is still there. Accepting that new reality takes time, and people do go through the stages of grief in accepting it. What a…
