Amy articulates so many of the problems I had with the media coverage of this election and the direction the media has taken in general. To sum, they’re awful and they’re not bringing you news anymore, just a parody.
yeah - I remember that CDAN blind too. And I’ve read a few other things in a few other places that would support that theory. Also when I read an article about Anna Faris and how she cheerfully eats dinner under all the many taxidermied animal heads from her hunter husband that line the walls of their dining room?…
You can trick your Trump supporting friends and family into watching it by telling them they’ll see Amy Farrah Fowler and Bernadette Rostenkowski-Wallowitz without their glasses*.
We sound so similar it’s kinda scary, lol.
I have always disliked my brother-in-law. While he was dating my sister, there was just something off. He made me feel uncomfortable with things he said to me that were sexual in nature — and when I brought this up to my sister, she ignored it. When they got engaged I tried to talk her out of marrying him, and she…
I sometimes think that people are so insistent that “she knew” or “he must have known” because it makes them feel more secure in their own situation.
Well, the relationship certainly does not move beyond something like that. We did counseling briefly, but the fact that he put my and my daughter’s health at risk (since I was breastfeeding, anything he could have passed to me would have been passed to her) was something I was unwilling to move beyond. In terms of…
Yeah, that’s not being a good friend, that’s setting someone up for an STD or worse.
I had a boyfriend for three years who was so smart and funny and had such great ambition...but he could never seem to get himself out of debt. I didn’t understand because he had a really high-paying job and was extremely responsible (on the surface), so I chalked it up to him maybe supporting his parents or something?…
Omg I found out the same way! Gotta love assholes and their sloppy email. One of the doubters told me I must have suspected something because I snooped in his emails. The truth is, I was presented with an opportunity and I was just being nosy. *shrug*
Oof. I had a very similar experience with my ex. To make it all the more disturbing, he was also meeting people for anonymous sex while I was still breastfeeding our daughter. I had zero suspicions until he used my computer to arrange one of his meet-ups and didn’t sign out of his fucking hotmail.
Yeah, “red flags” are easy to spot in hindsight, but so often they are perfectly consistent with innocent behavior. You can’t go through life just assuming that every slightly odd behavior is something dark and nefarious. There’s an implicit trust you just have to have in people that the things they are doing…
THIS! How is that not a fucking huge red flag??? My daughter’s school has had THREE in TWO years and they constantly pat themselves on the back for the suicide awareness bullshit that they do, which consists of DECORATING FUCKING DOORS about how suicide isn’t the answer. My GOD how are these fucks the ones in charge…
The detail about not being able to hang the anti-bullying posters the day she died is especially sad.
That’s possible. I was bullied a lot as a kid. A quick perusal of Facebook indicates that, like me, friends who were really bullied tend to not have any kids, while every single person who bullied me does. One of them has 6 kids.
The school system is so fucking bureaucratic now that everything has to be investigated and approved before anything can be done. Goddamnit. We just failed an 11-year old. She couldn’t hang a fucking poster??
From another article:
I know a guy who falls off the wagon all the time (and works as a sober counselor!). When this happens, he drunk dials me and proposes marriage, claiming to have been in love with me for decades. Sober? Radio silence. But I digress. Last time he called he had a REALLY bad English accent that was all over the place…
