I fully agree, and I say this as someone who’s in love and really happy in her relationship. Whenever someone says, “I’m so glad you finally found someone,” I’m always like, “Man you never know what can happen. I just enjoy the time we have now because I never know if I’ll end up losing it.” I know what it’s like to…

The luck of the draw! So many seem to think they’re somehow entitled to a spouse, and when they don’t find one it’s unfair. Sure, I think it’s great to stay open to meeting and dating people. But I believe it’s important to make peace with singlehood because there’s a very good chance I will never encounter someone I…

But acceptance doesn’t equal happiness. You can accept a truth you wish weren’t true and be healthy and relatively content while still wishing for a different outcome.

I will never forget the sighs of relief when a crazy fucking nutcase I dated for THREE months proposed to me a few years ago. He did it in public and I was so shocked that I said yes (only to say “oops this was a HUGE MISTAKE” two weeks later) but I was so put off by my best girl friend’s reaction to it. Like instead…

Ah. Well I am also old. Ours was a “calendar year” cutoff. But that was back in the 70s.

He did, thank you!!! 🙂🙂🙂🙂❤💫

Edt: WE FOUND HIM. I’ll try to respond to everyone, but in the meantime, thank you. Thank you thank you thank you. Jezzies, I came here in hopes that readers would make me feel less horror-movie plague-infected depressed, and you came through. Love you all. ❤❤

I adopted a kitten years ago, and within a couple of hours, said kitten vanished. Just...disappeared. Scoured the outside and every square inch of the house, and thinking that poor little guy had gotten out and been killed or ran away. I was crying on the couch when I heard a little rustling noise. Kitten had wedged…

I hope he turns up. Sometimes they manage to get into places that we humans can never think of.

Ah, yes, tolerance for the intolerant.

That’s why they are democrats not republicans. If we abandon the high road we will degenerate into what we despise.

Yeah, I feel for you, no question. I’d bring up ways to discuss the topic, but it really sounds like she’s at that level where no kind of light gets in. It’s unfortunate that we’re seeing that with so many evangelicals these days. I think it’s really going to be a generational conflict.

I’ve run into this issue on a number of instances and always try and point out that tolerance is something we have for people, not ideas. Ideas need to be justified via logic, not simply accepted because someone believes it.

I always feel so sad when I hear that. Because the tolerance of liberals is for things that are intrinsic to people—their gender, their sexual orientation, the color of their skin, their deep spiritual beliefs about the very nature of the universe and its higher powers. What these people are saying when they say, “Why…

The problem with that is that a lot of people (like my mother) will start shouting “What about the tolerance you keep wanting? You’re not being very tolerant of our beliefs!”

The best case scenario. Sweet sweet oblivion.

My current working theory is that god is a vicious cunt filled with internalized misogyny.

I’m not crazy about having a third type of verdict, which is what you’re suggesting (“more guilty” or whatever). Even DNA evidence can be wrong.

It’s more expensive for us to kill them than to imprison them for life.

I remember a classmate who briefly lived in Saudi Arabia talking about how barbaric it was they held public executions and corporal punishment, which you couldn’t really get out of watching if you were in the area. Personally, I think it’s a far more honest way to go about it. If individual states and the US are going…
