Why is this something we joke about? Basically, an old man married a deeply insecure and probably abused teenage girl to skirt laws about minors and sex and consent. To me, that's pretty goddamned horrifying.

SHALIMAR. The perfume that your office receptionist is wearing is Shalimar. On one or two people, it smells like a strong, pleasant oriental fragrance. On the rest of humanity, it smells like death, baby powder, headaches, and funeral home.

Has it only been two years? Because I feel like I've been subjected to news and whatever about these people for a lot longer than that.

I don't actually post food myself (because I don't have a smartphone, gasp shock), but I must be the ONE person on earth who loves seeing other people's meals. Seriously. I find it so interesting. Like, the most interesting thing on facebook.

I have a friend who often makes vague posts. Sometimes it's just "Wish me luck!" or "Big day ahead!" and others are the more passive aggressive "SO thankful for having THE RIGHT PEOPLE in my life and cleaning out all the DRAMA."

This!! There's one girl who I'm friends with who I like a lot, but she is constantly posting anti-gmo stuff. I don't want to hide all her posts... I'm waiting for the day when fb allows us to filter certain topics out of our newsfeeds. So that I can block anti-gmo posts, and stuff about football, and other stuff that…

I no longer see people who constantly post anti-GMO stuff, people who are always asking people to do things/give them things for free, people constantly posting image memes about how much they love their boyfriend/girlfriend, or "vaguebookers."

Almost as fun as the passive aggressive posts where they always say 'a certain person' and the comments are asking whom only be told 'I'll inbox you'.
It's not fair, I want the fucking dirt!

I agree 100%. And the people who "leave" Facebook often make a huge procedure out of leaving, announcing it to all and sundry multiple times before taking action. And then, in many cases, they are back again within a few months. I say if you're going to go, just go! If you don't like certain people, unfriend them! If…

I seem to see a good handful of people on Facebook having social media meltdowns lately. They feel like it's consumed their lives and is too full of 'drama' and they decide to deactivate their account.

My mother apparently had an extremely attractive friend in college who dressed up as Nosferatu for Halloween (bulging veins, bald cap, white makeup, etc) and said she found it an incredibly liberating experience because she could walk around in public without getting catcalled.

No, I won't get over it. My meals have been cut by $11 from my already-stretched budget. That's an entire days worth of meals that I now either don't get or have to pay for out of my own practically non-existent budget.
Just to preempt your inevitable welfare shaming: I work with kids in a failing urban school for 60…

I was going to be a dad with my former fiancee until we found out, around 20 weeks, that our baby wasn't developing properly and that he would likely never survive to term, much less survive for long after birth. Do these "pro-life" folks think that by forcing the woman I loved and I to have to watch her belly grow,…

You think her first pet was a dog named 'Gwen' and the street she grew up on was 'Derringer'?

I'm so surprised at all the poo-pooing here. I just don't think it's a big deal - it's simply woman writing about an experience that I'll bet most of us have fantasized about, even if we would never ever do it. I was entertained, and I'll watch the porn when I want the juicy bits.

Your last sentence is me - I like my job and am good at it but I cannot do what is needed to move up the ladder as the cost to my family is too high. But coming from someone with her resources, it sounds patronizing.

Aww, what a cute family...is it bad that I'm shipping Melissa and Sandy as an IRL couple?

Methinks Gwynnie has never had a screaming kid in one arm and a smartphone with a screaming boss in the other, while trying to make it home in time to beat the school bus, cook dinner, and get out to the middle school orchestra concert on time, all while knowing that you have a memo due at 9 AM the next morning that…

When my department does a sex sting, many times the bait is an online character who pretends to be a woman looking for a "teacher" for her way underage daughter/ niece. Someone to "prepare her" and "show her the ropes". (I apologize because I know this is causing a lot of us to feel like we have slugs crawling on…
