It was very obvious to me, for what it’s worth.

That is SO creepy that he watched you all night AND THEN LECTURED YOU?! It sounds like he was mad because he knew his usual shit wouldn’t work on you. I hope he falls down a manhole and has to live out his days as a sewer person.

The problem with what you are proposing is that readers will never learn how to identify sarcasm if it’s always made explicit for them. Words are fun, nuance is good, and being able to figure things out from context makes communication richer. Lutkin has had some odd tonal moments (The Peanut Gallery at Shade Court…

Given that she used the descriptors ‘rich’ and ‘powerful,’ as opposed to, say, ‘prestigious,’ ‘beloved,’ or ‘Peabody-attending,’ yeah, the sarcasm was pretty obvious. And, y’know, it’s Jezebel.

I’d genuinely like to know what made it not apparent to you... For me, on first read and before getting further than the first sentence, it was apparent to me that “shockingly” was sarcasm. I’m pretty surprised you didn’t read it that way, and I’d like to at least try to understand how you missed what read to me as…

It was obvious to the rest of us. Sorry ‘bout your humor.

of course not. the sarcasm is pretty obvious. lots of people write comments that end with ‘fixed it for you’ and I find it very obnoxious. I can handle getting mean tweets and being told I’m a garbage person, but I dislike it when people reformat a sentence like I should be glad they put words in my mouth. I’m sure…

When I was living in Japan it was really common for random guys in clubs to come up and try to tussle my hair unsolicited. This was my nightmare as I wear a wig due to severe trichlomania. I once threw my back out trying to swerve away from one of them.

Seriously. And even when they ask ...

I had a dude ask if he could touch me at a bar. I said, in no uncertain terms, “No.” He asked again, and I said No. He tried to touch me and I grabbed his wrist and stabbed him with my thumbnail. He was then thrown out of the bar.

Even when the ask, they’re not really asking.

Last time I went to a club this guy lectured my friends and I because apparently he’d been watching us all night and every time rando dudes came up behind us, we “ran away”. Sorry I’m shifting away from gropers. During his speech, another guy came up, put his arm around me tightly and asked if I wanted a beer. If he…

For women who suppress their periods: Do you look and feel bloated every month (or even all the time)??? The once or twice I’ve tried to skip my period by not taking the empty pills, it just resulted in a longer period by way of never-ending spotting.

Pro Tip: When on the run from the police, don’t order Dominoes. I mean, we could argue that you shouldn’t be a general scumbag and do things that would lead to you being on the run from the police in the first place, but I think not ordering Dominoes is the real take away from this story.

No idea where it's from but I like it.

Veggieburglar*

Why do criminals keep getting caught when they order Dominos? New rule should be when you're on the lam don't order out especially from Dominos.

It's a nice reminder that just because people have a strict moral code doesn't mean that they cant be major assholes.

She looks a lot like the Hamburglar here.

And she is a wicked guitarist and wrote some of their best songs.

Occasionally, I get the GoGos and the Bangles mixed up.

Belinda’s all, “Um...Jane..honey? We didn’t record “Walk Like An Egyptian”...you know that...right?”
