My husband has the problem with his classical station that it keeps trying to play choral shit but there's no way to just say NO SINGING BITCH, they should consider that setting.

For sure, but I think sometimes people try to go "straight" and choose more fitting, kind partners but those patterns can be hard to break so the new partner has to be willing to take the chance of trying to rehabilitate the bad relationship pattern haver out of that pattern. Okay, I'm just basically talking about…

Exactly. I have done a good deal of online hooking up and talking about dominance/rape play scenarios with dudes (I'm female) and while plenty of perfectly normal, cool guys are into it, the way they talk about it is telling and if you get a bad feeling, just cut off contact. If you aren't expressing any interest or…

Now, I agree in general, that there's no need to jump into active drama, but I have been in horrible on-and-off again relationships (some abusive, not as bad as your story, which is awful and very sad) but eventually figured out my shit and am very low drama. Those relationships were all when I was in my early 20's,…

I wouldn't worry about it too much. She's an adult (right?) and she knows there's always a chance that a straight man she encounters could be attracted to her and could give her biased advice, I would assumes she is talking this out with other friends as well so you're not the only point of view she's getting. If her…

I would also argue that "nice guys" aren't always conscious of this. I believe they think they are "nice" because they are beta guys who have a complex about not getting women in the same ways of more confident or traditionally attractive men. Typically those guys aren't as nice -in the Nice Guy narrative- they are…

It's true! And you'd actually think I would be madder at Kevin since I actually like Patrick and don't want for him to get hurt but Kevin remains adorable while I fucking hate Desi but also hate Marnie so I'm like you're perfect for each other because you're both the worst!

While I mostly disagree with you and like beards, I don't like guys with beards who are thin and probably have a perfectly fine chins. I like a fat guy with a beard, because I know they have a double chin under there (I mean, I have a double chin and as a lady I can't hide it like that so I'm maybe just jealous) and…

He is possibly best known as the pudgy grey haired guy puking excessively in Jackass.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing, I was pretty sure I remember seeing a Blake Shelton Musical Comedy advertised!

I think it was a combo of a bad wig (purposely bad, she was supposed to look haggard), sleevelessness which we don't see on her often (I got big fat arms myself so I can relate), and the fact that she appeared to be in some kind of corset in the dress which really just pushes your fat around (again, I have experience…

I was getting Martina McBrice realness from Kate….not giving him an Alan Jackson mullet (mirroring Blake's real mullet he's famous for having in the 90's) was a missed opportunity.

I think he had to be in on the joke, he may be from Oklahoma but he's not dumb. And I think it was skewering just what you mention but even more specifically the 90's country version of that (Like "The Little Girl" -check it out, it's a hilarious example that also always makes me cry) so he's a little more removed…

The whole dang time that dog had been the boot!

It makes sense because people fucking win when they are either already country and he amps it up or turns them country like Casadee (that name spelling, tho.) And I am a Texan and I like country music- old stuff, and new crappy stuff, stuff from the 90's that sounds a lot like The Wishin' Boot- but there is something…

Effete for sure but we won't know how that shakes out sexually until he hits puberty. People do seem to bend over backwards to say that kids who gender nonconform in some ways might not be gay but also you hear all the time that many (most?) know they are different (gay/trans/queer what have you) as children because…

I mis-read that last like as "would someone kill you to make a "serial serial serial"" like their murder mystery would then be fodder for a new podcast…I was like that's funny but also terrible, she doesn't deserve to die for inappropriate laughter!

Smells like a party!

Yeah, she didn't seem bothered by the leering, possibly thought it was cute since she was so out of his league, at least that's the way they played it (although really his parents need to talk to him about not creeping on women/girls who are just sunbathing in such a flagrant way!)

It did feel gratuitous and it's not even like she is a particularly mature looking 15, she really looks like a dolled up child which is extra creepy.
