I was going to give you a big thing about how some people are raised in such diversity that they are brought up among and closely related to people of other races. About how some people see color but it doesn’t cause them to make judgments or assumptions. Then I remembered how suspicious I am of the motives and…

I went to Virginia from Michigan to stay for a week with a guy that I dated when I was 20. We didn’t talk for about 10 years, then spent 10 years occassionally texting, and then decided to rekindle the flame at 40. I ended up visiting 5-6 times over 2 years before it fizzled out. My sister lived 90 minutes away, so…

Very interested in the verified accounts. I’m tired of guys using 10 year old pics.

I think “urging” and “encouraging” should be replaced with “demanding” and “ordering.”

That’s crazy - all these years and it happened literally in the town next door to me.

This really resonated with me - the childhood background, everything except the post breakup behavior. I managed to take care of that aching physical rage with Effexor and tend to go scorched earth after breakups (poison the well, sow the earth with salt, and burn all the bridges) but other than that, I am a mess. I’m…

This is what I believe the standard should be as well. They want to be seen as heroes - the ones risking their lives for our safety. Then risk your fucking life. 

It’s bizarre. My brother was in Security Forces in the Air Force (like a cop) and they had a strict series of escalating steps. Like if you see a weapon you can unsnap and put your hand on your gun. If the weapon is raised, you can take out your gun lowered. If the weapon is pointed at someone, you can aim. These are…

I can’t be alone in a house without dogs. Even with everything locked. Because ghosts and aliens. 

How does your mouth just automatically not sing that part if you are not Black? I grew up with Black cousins and even as a kid, surrounded by the word at times, it was always clear that it was not a word for me to say. Ever. I don’t even remember having to be told. 

They have never had my size in stock in any of the styles they recommended.

I don’t know, maybe that’s what happens if you don’t opt out before the 5th. I’ve always opted out and just bought stuff whenever I wanted.

I do realize that, but since you have 5 days to opt out every month, it’s not been an issue for me. I definitely acknowledge that its a system designed to get $50 from you monthly, but as long as you opt out before the 5th of the month, there is no exchange of funds.

It’s not like they’re charging $50 a month. They automatically will send you the featured VIP box each month, you can decline and pay nothing or do nothing a pay $50 for a curated set. If you forget to opt out every month and don’t want the set you can return it and have a $50 credit.

I don’t know, I feel like cops love busting poor people. If you’re driving a beater and get a headlight out, you will get pulled over every day. But if you’re driving an expensive car with a headlight out, you will never get pulled over because they assume it just happened and you will get it fixed ASAP.

It’s so strange, my 9 year old nephew has never left his property without an adult. I walked to kindergarten by myself. By 10 I was disappearing all day on my bike and calling mom after dark to let her know where I was staying. And that was just standard, my friends had the same life and we all had good, attentive…

I don’t know, his mother realized on the plane that he was gone and still had to wait 8 hours for the flight to land. Then she got on the quickest flight she could get back to the US (Dallas and then Scranton - I looked it up) and then had to drive to Chicago, all during Christmas. Kevin was alone for 3 full days. She…

I always tell everyone that I’d consider marriage if it was normal to live apart. I can not handle the idea of sharing a house with someone all the time.

Is there a reason that you use cornstarch instead of coating them in the starch you just soaked out? That’s what I was taught to do when making good latkes, soak out the starch and then coat the shredded potatoes in it. Just curious, not criticizing - plus I don’t want to buy cornstarch.

No one is saying TS can’t do it, just that it didn’t serve her well to do it so close on the heels of B’s performance. Being that you evidently read Jezebel, I can’t see how you could have failed to notice the unbelievable fuss that was made over the Coachella show, both at the time and when the documentary came out.…
