Somehow I was able to read it a while back after borrowing it from my ex when I didn’t have anything new to read. I’m pretty sure I gave myself brain damage

I don’t understand this.

Agree completely. I mean, I still think the Stones are one of the best bands ever and his work is amazing. But as a human being, it seems like maybe he’s kind of a garbage person. Maybe.

Yeah, I remember that. I had never considered previously whether or not I respected Mick Jagger - he was a fact of life, like air or gravity. When he pulled that on Jerry, it occurred to me for the first time that this was a person, someone I could dislike and hold in low esteem. And that I did dislike him and hold…

It’s so interesting to read that many female saints entered religious life to avoid the constraints of domestic life given the Church’s role in keeping women out of public life.

Yeah, the Big Short was great. I suspect that the HFPA wanted to give Ridley Scott a trophy and that’s why they put The Martian in that category. I appreciate that Scott called them out on it in his speech.

It kind of bothered me that The Martian won for best comedy. Spy And Trainwreck were both more deserving.

God, I have a 12 year old so I feel your pain! And she is currently in the throes of Black Veil Brides and I think to myself “okay, I know that I lied and cheated and stole and slept with my ex-husband’s best friend (but AFTER we got divorced, I swear) and became a heroin addict but STILL, what in god’s name did I do…

LOL!!! I love you so much! My 11-year-old says this all the time and I've just hated and hated it and am enjoying your comments with unbridled glee.

FUCK i thought it meant worship, as in “I worship this couple together.” Jesus I am SO FUCKING OLD and now I’M FURIOUS

It might be because they did that, that you now have a messy bedroom. My mom was always on my case about picking up and my adult defiance to her as I've learned is to HATE tidying up.

I say there are men who are objectively beautiful but not erotically stimulating.

“If I squint, maybe people will think I’m cool like my Dad was”.

yup—as someone who is permanently “socially nonchalant” due to autism, i can testify to this effect as well.

since i’m pathologically incapable of treating people differently or with deference for such things (i don’t do well with authority figures for the same reason, can’t defer and those who get off on their authority HATE ME for it), i would have to say i agree with you and have witnessed the same confusion from…

That’s how I feel. Like some people’s faces are so perfect and symmetrical that they’re actually kind of bland. I tend to prefer faces with more... character, I guess?

(This is not to suggest that I am not perfectly shallow. I am perfectly shallow. There are many superlatively pretty people whose faces I gawp at).

They’re much less boring if you imagine them banging each other.

The weird thing is people that pretty are so used to getting treated special that if you ignore it, often they’ll be sort of attracted to you and want to know what you’re about. Like, “how come my freeze ray doesn’t work on this plain looking chick?” and then they try harder because they’re confused.

Yes. When someone is so beautiful it becomes pointless. Like what could I possibly do with this? Same feeling I get when a desert is too cute/pretty. Can't eat it. Maybe that isn't the same thing. I'm stoned

I think some people reach such a level of handsomeness that they go all the way back around into undesirable.
