Sell your car, put your kid up for adoption and move into a hostel. Easy peasy!

These articles don’t serve much purpose to actually helping people with financial stability.

No, no one died. No one was really pressured either, that I saw. I trained with a girl my age who didn’t do it and no one treated her poorly because of it. We were goofing around and it was good natured.

This is asking the wrong question. The question is not:

“I bet he makes cakes for people that don’t exile women from their camp while they’re having their period.

Hating pumpkin spice is a valid religious belief.

This.

I can’t wear non-padded. My nips like to sit up and look around to see what’s happening on occasion, and it makes me nervous when I realize that one’s looking west and slightly north and the other’s looking true east. It’s like “WHAT IS GOING ON IN FRONT OF YOU! OMYGAWDANDAREYOUAVOIDINGLOOKINGMEINTHEEYE?” I’m much…

Man, I absolutely love Libby. I think I found it from you guys and it’s so wonderful to have access to so many books without having to worry about carrying them back or them weighing down my bag.

Thanks for this, sincerely.

Yeah I’ve long thought Biden is gross as hell with women, but he gets a pass because he’s “charismatic” and a Democrat. If it were a stodgy Republican doing the exact same things, like Jeb Bush or someone, you bet everyone would be up in arms and calling him a sexual predator. Also Joe Biden has weirdly been…

What I find disturbing about W. is that it really seems like he could have been a good person, or at least not a terrible one, if he wasn’t a politician. He doesn’t come across as particularly sadistic or sociopathic (though a lot of the people around him do). And the thing is, most presidents over the past 50 years…

If someone came forward and said W Bush assaulted them, I of course would believe it. I just don’t think he has, but that also doesn’t mean he is immune to becoming a creepy old man. H.W. Bush, I can see it just from the generation and his boys club vibe. Clinton always had that creepy vibe, most people attributed it…

Democrats don’t lionize Clinton. If you want to see what that actually looks like, Republicans lionize Reagan and ignore lots of awful or inconvenient things about his administration. Democrats certainly don’t talk about Clinton the same way and their supporters certainly don’t ignore his sexual predation (see: this…

Hypothesis: maybe there are guys who will make a pass persistently and ruin you for not yielding (Weinstein), and then there are guys who are just persistent but won’t go out of the way to sink your career (Kennedy). If this hypothesis holds up, I can’t think of any forgiveness for the second group because how the…

I feel like Bush was just kind of an awkward-doofus guy who often didn’t know what to do with himself physically and then would do weird things like ‘uncomfortable shoulder rub’. Which isn’t to say that touching someone without their ok is acceptable, but not every odd behavior is the same.

Ew, how obnoxious. I think he might be like “Uncle Joe” Biden in that while this behavior is most definitely inappropriate, the intention is friendly. It’s deeply unnerving and sexist as hell, but I wouldn’t consider it predatory or sexual, per se.

Nietzsche is also relevant here, with one minor change, given his own rampant sexism:

You expressed that men are asking for help.... I can appreciate that.

I live in midtown Manhattan, and I’ve never had a UPS or FedEx guy lie on the tracking info and say they’ve delivered something when they haven’t, or had any sort of problem with them at all.

And it would be slightly less frustrating if the people who found their cure didn’t assume it was THE cure and stopped yelling at you about dairy, oil cleansing, etc. I actually had to use a shit-ton of stuff in addition to retinol to control it before I lost 50 pounds. Now being not obese and retinol does it but I…
