It wasn’t so much unexpected because I had read the novella, but the end of The Mist was absolutely brutal, and it took the entire credits to get myself together.

My year was actually pretty good as well. Spent most of it getting my master’s and living in London. Now comes the hard part of coming back to reality and living in the suburbs of Philly and trying to find a real job again. Womp. First world problems.

It’s not crappy at all, it’s good advice. What she wrote makes it sound like she’s extremely serious about herself and that’s almost always going to lead to disappointing years. I’m someone commenting on an article she put out on the internet for anyone to comment on, that’s who I am to tell her that.

There’s this yoga instructor on YouTube that I like and she has a lot of free videos. She's actually kind of funny too. Just search YogaWithAdriene. You can do it alone by yourself in your house. I’ve been doing it for almost a year, twice a day and have no interest in going to a studio to move with others. It’s more…

‘Triggering’ is a bunch of metaphorical bs to describe natural emotions. Limiting exposure helps no one recover.

How is “a woman afraid of what society thinks eventually overcomes that fear and does what she wants” not an improvement over “a man roofies and rapes a woman who just wants to get home to her family”?

That was EXACTLY the conversation I had with her. She made sure I knew that she, her boyfriend, her boyfriend’s sister, her boyfriend’s sisters, brother, etc., all went to Ivy League schools. And that her family name is plastered all over buildings at different “prestigious” universities. And that she and her…

I don’t know if she’s a troll I really don’t think she Is one from what I’ve seen BUT I do agree with you on what you consider a troll. Just because someone’s an asshole or you don’t like what they say doesn’t mean they’re a troll.

I don't know about funny but several have been playing the "long con" recently (hadn't thought of it in with that term until you just said it). I couldn't believe how long it went on, and it wasn't just name-calling - it was them acting as if they were making a lucid argument that was really ridiculous, and everybody…

Oh my God, is ladyology a known troller? I got into it with her months and months ago with this incredible exchange that started with her saying that Tufts was her safety school when she was applying to college and if she had ended up at Tufts it would have been horrible. She was extremely condescending in a very…

omg i’m sorry but people who are this upset by who is internet commenting a lot on posts (if they’re not a huge troll/asshole I mean) need to figure out other things in life. DON’T CUT DOWN TOO MUCH BAE (did I use bae right?)

Yes.

I have been gray for like 6 years, and this site has always seemed like a mean girls clique to me, so, more assholes the merrier?

You of all people definitely shouldn’t be.

Can you please present us with every example of asshole-ish commenting, so that it can be evaluated and dismissed as little ladies overreacting anyway? kthx irl

That’s the thing about having the approved commenter vs. greys system. A smallish number of people end up being much, much more visible than almost everyone else, and lots of good commenters are stuck in the greys. The only way to make up for this is to go through the replies and pull the good ones out whenever you…

Combined with the way the site has started going full-on click bait for some articles and that article this week with the super graphic pictures of a possible in progress rape, I’ve actually cut down on even visiting the site in general. I’m pretty sure that I’ll be completely gone soon because every time I do check…

I am going to make myself really unpopular here, but hey, here’s an idea: what if we-the-world-at-large stopped dressing up female musicians/performers like glorified sex dolls?

But I mean again...I think you are picking up some of the inferences of the blogger. It is not at all unusual for people to travel from Seoul to LAX, in fact there are several direct flights now per day practically per airline. The relationship between TSA and Customs is a little bit like, internally, the relationship…

Yes, I agree. I am going to the U.S. for the first time in years in February, and I am already dreading the TSA/Customs/general hassle experience. I have flown the long way (across all of Asia, the Middle East, and Russia) to get home several times just to avoid the stopover in LAX.
