Isn’t it really your move? The streets of America are paved with gold! Come on over and start a new life.

There were so many over-the-top things in that story but the first thing that rang a bell for me was the "I started working as a waitress when I was 12 and my mom and I had to get out on time to get to our 2nd jobs." So was this restaurant owned by her mother or something, because otherwise I don't see how a…

A fake mother in a fake story?

I was really expecting them to just give her the menu, and whatever she ordered make it out of the Tapas they already had prepared, but charge her full price.

Spitting on someone is assault. If it were my child I would have called the police.

The same one who lets her 12 year old kid work in food service.

thank you for saying this. there truly has been a sea change over the past few years. but it will take some of us time to catch up!

I agree with all your comments here but my feel on “I’ll Stand By You” is that it’s a song of support, but not necessarily of the “You can do know wrong/cheating variety.” Maybe more of a paean for an addicted friend/lover/child?

I don’t know. I noticed the enlightened, feminist empowered women I was raised by (aka Chrissie Hynde’s generation) have turned into Faux News spewing backwards idiots.

I’m just going to put this out there- I have been a feminist for thirty years, and this shit would now have flown back then either.

That’s the one thing that I find cheering in all this: the fact that most people—certainly not all, but most people—will read this and think, “This lady is nuts.” Even fifteen years ago, this probably wouldn’t have been seen as a particularly outlandish thing to say.

It’s rather disheartening how many of the old school female musicians expouse such repugnant views. Between the Runaways rape denial and Joni Mitchell with her weird racist stuff and now Chrissie Hynde...

Oh yeah. Joe Dante did it that way to make fun of the concept of sequels. The best is John Glover’s character.

RIGHT?????

The fun of Gremlins 2 is that it’s so over the top. I fucking love that movie.

Yes!

a perfect example of why straight white men should probably shy away from using the word unless they’ve been trained by a professional.

Did you read what Kara wrote? Because this response, too, is also very white...

She made an absolute statement, one that most normal people would also assume, but there is no actual proof that no one has ever cut their nose off and eaten it due to poppers. Someone could have had a psychotic allergic reaction that caused them to do it.

Finally, someone with the courage to stand up to Big Shitty Vegetable.
