Okay. I'm probably just lending too much personal experience to the scenario. I see what you're saying.

Yeah. Seems like it's more about the illusion of safety it gives to concerned parents.

Time for an intervention. "You're my friend, and I love you. But I totally didn't need to see your vagina."

That is positively lovely.

Yeah, we definitely agree with each other. I was trying to tie into what you were saying with the bit about "balance."

I didn't say there was a causal relationship there. But when I hear "suicide" I think that's a red flag. Also, even if he were definitively diagnosed with some kind of personality or mental disorder, it's not a get-out-of-jail-free card. I'm not saying "this isn't his fault and he should be released." Not by a long…

I would say the reverse is true too. Balance is needed, so don't completely neglect your own wants and needs to make your partner happy. It took me years and years to realize that if I was feeling resentful a lot, it was because I wasn't setting any damn boundaries and it's OKAY to sometimes say, "I'm too tired to do…

I think he can be both. Someone who attempts suicide (not as a form of euthanasia) is mentally ill.

This guy is seriously mentally ill. He needs intense psychotherapy and probably medication, which I doubt he will get in prison. And like another commenter said, it seems likely he will try to kill Mack again once released. This whole thing is horrible.

It's the new "five-second"rule: the 90-day rule.

Is she wearing Aristocat panties?

Um. It sounds more like Dan Powell is the person to thank on this one. He took the initiative and he was the one who would probably have taken the heat. But maybe the idea originated from her? Although it just says her "staff" in the article...

I can't tell if he's terrified or delighted.

The anecdote of that dude touching your hair is truly disgusting. I am so sorry.

Yeah. My friend is apathetic about most things to the nth degree. It's fairly frustrating.

Looks like powdered matcha on a giant greasy pancake.

I can imagine someone making this as a pure sort of culinary thought exercise come to life (i.e. for the lulz), but the idea that someone actually may have eaten it is seriously perplexing to me. It really can't taste very good, can it? If nothing else, think of all the saltiness inherent in that monstrosity.

I thought this (and the one next to it) was Fancy Stew. That is, stew served in a martini glass.

I...I can't tell if I'm being made fun of...or maybe the History Channel is? Oh well, I still like you either way. Your comments are usually pretty great.
