yeah, this makes even less sense. you don’t ‘detox’ from not using anti-perspirant anymore. 

I want Ruth Bader Ginsburg to die in peace so Uncle Joe it is. 

Are you sure you stopped stinking or that in 2-3 weeks, you just got used to your stank?

I’m not Black so I’m not going to tell Black people what to think about this however let’s also remember Uncle Joe’s been putting his foot in his mouth since the start of his career, it’s kind of his thing at this point, and I would say this is somewhat comparable to a man telling women that women who vote for Trump…

This is amazing.

I think the Jezebel/millennial feminism definition of exploitation is kind of unreal. You’re not entitled to cash because your court case wound up creating a huge legal precedent. If not her, lawyers would have looked for another plaintiff. Not everything you do or that happens to you entitles you to compensation. If…

This.

Yup. Conservatives figured out ages ago that the courts are how you enact social change in the US. And they’ve been throwing millions at bringing cases to court since. Americans need more Liberal Kochs and the like throwing their billions at the culture wars. George Soros can’t do it alone. 

I think there’s a technical term but I call them victim-narcissists. Drama always follows them but it’s not their fault! If something bad happens to them, it’s not just a regular bad thing, it’s a special bad thing that only happened to them. They’re always involved in some kind of conflict with someone but it’s…

What’s the point? Why not focus on helping to get him elected since the main goal is (or should be) avoiding a Trump re-election? 

The idea that McCorvey should be compensated in some way for being Jane Roe is a complicated and fraught one. Certainly many benefitted from her decision: the American women who earned the right to safe, legal abortion, absolutely, but also movie studios, celebrities, legal teams, and, ultimately, evangelical…

I think he fucked up by half-confessing, half-lying. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too. After he cheated, he either should have come completely clean, or not told her at all. And if he was so sure he wanted to stay with her and that the cheating was a one time thing, he probably should have just shut the fuck…

This. Though his real mistake (aside from cheating in the first place, of course) was telling her at all 4 years ago. Unless it’s a serial cheating situation, if the cheating partner wants to stay in the relationship, and is committed to never cheating again, they should just shut the fuck up and not tell their…

Dude, did you not read my post? I’m a realist, I don’t give a fuck about moral/ethical/ideological purity, and I don’t give a shit if getting rid of Trump requires hypocrisy, machiavellianism, bad faith, or anything else that most adults just accept as politics as usual. Humans suck. All you can do is try to pick the…

Interview with the Vampire is and always was what I like to call high-class trash. I mean, it’s Anne Rice, so it’s not like the original material is exactly highbrow, but the movie did a pretty great job of bringing the story to the screen. I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable but the I was a teenager in the 90s so…

Yeah, I thought that was just Jezebel and their impossibly ridiculous standards for minority women artists? 

I thought that was just Jezebel and their impossibly ridiculous standards for minority women artists? 

I loved it. I binged it in one sitting and laughed and cried like an idiot. And I never warmed to The Mindy Project but this is way better, funnier and more complex. And McEnroe narrating is a stroke of genius. 

I mean, it was in 1996. It’s now 2020. Unless he has continued to be accused of sexual harassment in the ensuing 24 years, it’s kind of hard to muster up any kind of outrage over this...

Yeah, that’s basically my experience as well. It’s part of who I am, the good, the bad, the ugly. I made this same point to someone else upthread - she’s basically just talking about self-acceptance and learning to live with how her brain is wired. And yet people feel the need to take an absolutely innocuous statement…
