Mia's treatment of Soon-Yi is seriously disturbing and messed up. I didn't know that she said half those things about her daughter, but good grief, I can't even imagine how many levels of fucked up you have to be to say these kind of things in public. Shame on her. I hope she was a better mother to the rest.

I take it you're not an introvert? We don't work like you do. Don't assume we do.

"Uggos," REALLY???? Do you go around gossiping about "uggos," with the other mean girls?

I think this is really sad, actually. This guy hit the jackpot with his random little game, and the internet has bullied him into the corner.
How psychologically and emotionally exhausted must he be to give up 50K a day?

This is so immensely fucked up, I don't even know what to say. Jesus Christ.

I don't know enough about cheerleading I guess. I never saw it as a stepping stone to acting or dancing jobs but that could be because I don't know enough about it. My point was that internships at least have the premise of giving you experience and training or being a resume builder, and those things can lead to a

But usually internships are usually short term—something you do for a year or so when you are starting out, which sometimes allows you to get your foot in the door. Cheerleading doesn't lead to a permanent or more highly paid job in the NFL.

I go to a different university in Canada and the thinking is that you're an adult, so you can choose whether or not to show up to class. If you don't learn anything you fail anyway, and if you do learn it and pass the exams, why does it matter if you attended the class?

You know, I've sat in the first lecture for a class and gotten the distinct impression that spending two hours every week sitting there for the next four months would be overwhelming. I reacted by dropping those classes and quickly signing up for something that seemed more tolerable.

Um, "netting negative calories" is how one loses weight

You know, Jesus Christ was a big-nosed, money-grubbing, probably red-haired Jew. Plus he was from Asia, so chances are he was a Jawa too.

To be honest, and I say this as a burger-eater, wouldn't that be a death sentence on 99% of the population? Excluding militant vegans we all contribute to some really horrific shit regarding sweet, innocent, adorable little animals. This story's terrible but the logical side of my brain is saying "Yeah, and you just

I'm only slightly ashamed to say I'd do the same thing for $250k.

"She's also an outlier in that at 5'4" and 105 lbs, her height-weight combination put her slightly below the threshold doctors who use the BMI scale would consider "healthy." She's also below what Weight Watchers would consider healthy for her height."

Interesting. So when it comes to overweight people, BMI is garbage

Oh man, is that ever fucked up.

Wanna bet the kid has an extremely opinionated, "vocal" parent?

But that all changed after a male student followed her into the girls' bathroom on multiple occasions, charging that if she had the right to be in there, so did he.

I agree. I think it speaks to general moral turpitude, a need to be in a position of power with respect to one's object of desire, and an inability or unwillingness to understand or accept family dynamics, taboos, and boundaries.

While I think you're definitely right that that contributes to Woody Allen's creep factor, I think it weakens the support for Dylan to suggest that we have to take Soon-Yi into account for her to have credibility. There's plenty there that's pretty damning without having to bring Soon-Yi into it.
