Stop being a dick. It doesn’t make you look rational or cool or whatever, it just makes you look like a dick.

I mean, I have a bleeding heart and a probably naive take on criminal behavior, and this guy is not one of the ones who is getting the benefit of the doubt. He clearly murdered her, and is desperately making up one story after another. The best thing you can say in his defense is that he clearly has never put any…

Who amongst us hasn’t dismembered a body?

I see ghosts. You don’t.

That defense actually worked for Robert Durst. He said he didn’t kill a guy but he did dismember the body and dispose of it. You know. For reasons.

It worked for Robert Durst in Texas. Let’s hope Denmark isn’t as fucked up as Texas.

I knew that the abuse was an open secret with Weinstein (I had even heard about it, and I couldn’t be more removed from Hollywood professionally or geographically), but I hadn’t heard anything about Spacey being abusive. Was that also an open secret?

I don’t think you’re crazy at all. Proof is a request to objectify the subjective, but in this kind of thing, where it ultimately doesn’t effect anyone else, the desire to do that strikes me as insecurity. Science doesn’t have to explain everything, and it can’t. Ghosts are something that some people, like you and I,…

I believe you and agree with you. I used to experience ghosts as a child and young adult. I don’t anymore because I’m generally too busy for them. I recently had a bad experience in a hotel that I barely talk to anyone about because so few people around me believe the same way I do. The surety that so many people have…

Re: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I’m with ya, but the thing I mull over is “How extraordinary does it need to be?”

Women expire at 27...did these people watch “The House Bunny?”

Um, no. Reason I say no is my friend is literally in charge of the pediatric department of one of the major psychiatric hospitals in London, and a very respected child psychiatrist (and that is psychiatrist, as in medical doctor, not some sort of psychologist or therapist or whatever) and we’ve talked about mental…

My mother, who is typically very modern, and levelheaded informed me that “I was settling, by dating my bf”, and that “If you lost some weight in the middle, that you could meet a stellar guy.” My bf is perfectly fine, and I accept my belly.

My high school AP English teacher and my college Intro to Lit instructor informed the young women in my class that they should find a husband in college. The former went to CAL and the latter, a local state school. Both were women. I was also told that women expire at age 27. This was told to me by two male…

Let’s not attack the victim here. Let’s recognize that he remains, as a consequence of his abusive childhood, at the stunted emotional development of a young child. Let’s place the blame for his immaturity and inability to recognize other victims where it belongs on his attackers and his parents and everyone who…

 Or there may be absolutely nothing wrong with them and everything wrong with you?

It’s a very uncomfortable situation. I absolutely believe his claims, and I think that he’s been traumatized his whole life. Maybe people are actively trying to kill him. I can see his fear and desire for better security regardless.

.....is the kind of shit that people say about victims.

I am a neuroscientist with a PhD from a prestigious science university. My husband and I heard a ghost dog inside our house. After we heard the invisible dog walking up the stairs, we speculated on what could have happened, checked the whole house, all the doors, etc. Weeks later, I heard her panting and skittering…

So, in the menacing stranger category, an ultimately OK but potentially harrowing thing happened to me last night. I was walking home in the after work hours last night but the sun had gone down. I live in NYC on a pretty busy block and there are three buildings in a row with lighted awnings. A group of ladies was…
