I took this to mean that Rich wished it didn’t take Moss being violently beaten in a manner that “if a visible man were depicting doing it, it would likely be too extreme for the mass audience this movie is attempting to attract (and I seriously doubt the MPAA would have let it pass through with an R rating)” for…

a 6F .. lol took a second then my web design training kicked in.

I started to question the necessity of this piece, then remembered President Bone Spurs and his mouth-breathing followers...

Honestly, even a white person would most likely need to be careful asking such things. Cops have shown that they are not above putting a cap in white folks too, if they feel that they can get away with it with the worst punishment being they need a new job...which some police department in a few counties over would…

I too am surprised that she is (still) a US senator.  C’mon people of Maine, get it together.  It’s time to take out the garbage.

Dear Muggles: Please stop thinking of us as a human shield to use as a buffer for socially acceptable women against creeps and monsters. Because that is a super fucked up way to think about other people, which is what we are. 

Right?! Misogyny, rape, and violence toward women ARE NOT BECAUSE OF FUCKING BLUE BALLS. Getting laid doesn’t magically turn men into nice guys! IT IS NOT SEX WORKERS’ JOBS TO MAGICALLY DEFUSE DANGEROUS MEN. Jesus fucking Christ.

He was deemed a “Moderate Risk” of violence and he was let out into the community... yes the Canadian Justice System at its finest right here. Then he was sent by an Officer of the Court to engage in sort of illegal acts (prostitution law can be complicated) with a woman who due to engaging in illicit activity was…

Honestly, this is also why I get angry when people suggest that the way to deal with incels is to send them to sex workers. Sex workers are human beings performing a service; we shouldn’t condone having misogynists anywhere near them. Can you imagine if men did this to other service workers too? Would you take your…

Always make a point to at least toss out a counteroffer. Doesn’t have to be a serious one, and you don’t have to persist, but not haggling or even doing one counteroffer can sometimes been seen as contemptuous or insulting.

“Bargaining with vendors in the markets was an even more stressful event than trying to avoid consuming tap water. I hated the “name your price” game and often ended up paying more for items that other people in our group got for a fraction of the price. I wasn’t built for it.”

I had no idea that the Year of Return was a thing until it was a thing. I’m glad y’all had fun, Marge, and made connections. I truly want to visit West Africa one day. (Especially, Goree Island in Senegal.)

Like porn previously was for Eve, Julian is forbidden. He is 19 years old and a former classmate to her son and the object of his bullying. Yet, she is drawn to him because of (maybe I’m projecting but) his tender eyes, awkward gait, and trembling half-smile.

The city is wrong for that.

Seconded. I was about to tell him that anyone’s plans about children isn’t his business!

You said it much nicer. :-D

Best way to go there is to let them go there first. Since you like to talk about stuff like that, it won’t be awkward for you.

Damn, you’re really nosy xD

You recognize that you get to the big by going through the small/that relationships build over time. Intimacy isn’t 0-60 in 3 seconds.

So odds are the problem here is actually that you think your preferences (disliking small talk) are more important than other people’s comfort and that you have a right to ask these questions as long as you just figure out a way to make them palatable. They’re... not palatable.
