thanks for the rec. i bought it right now bc i do the same shit the writer does lol.

Ugh, yes. They're gross.

I straight up do not give a shit if people think crocs are ugly. Crocs aren’t meant to be fashionable - they are mostly for function. Do you know how amazing it is to have nice wide shoes when you have to stand on your (also wide) feet all day for work? It fucking hurts to stand all day on a thinly carpeted concrete…

She remembered that he's a big strong guy who's capable of causing serious injury?

All those fucking New York/Jersey transplants living in Myrtle Beach. Ugh. Boston's probably the #2 team around there, too. Sorry you thought your goddamned cities were so insufferable you had to move to the Redneck Riviera and complain about every goddamned thing, asshats.

I found out I was pregnant my senior year of college. When I told my son's father (also a senior in college) he cried for weeks. He cried more often during my pregnancy than I did. Neither one of us were financially or emotionally prepared for a baby. His father pushed for abortion, even scheduling an appointment at…

Yeah, the "unable" to "overcome the difficulties" language is pretty disquieting. "Unable" to stop hitting women? He has a "problem and a circumstance and a situation?" Fuck, Coach, lead some young men here. How about, "It doesn't matter how good a football player he is, if he hits women — if anyone hits women — it's…

"I still think he's a good person,"

but Tymon was part of this.

I really think we folks have this part of weddings right!

No - Oisin Tymon was certainly under orders not to speak to Clarkson.

Yeah there seems to be no dwelling on the fact that he's a thug, a bully and a liability and that shitty behavior in a decent society should not be rewarded. But carry on. It's pretty debilitating. Forty seven comments in and yours is the first asking about the root problem.

I guess I don't understand the overall sentiment here. The story breaks down as follows - asshole star verbally abuses and assaults subordinate, and is (justifiably) shown the door for his actions. If this happened anywhere I worked, I would be happy to see the jerk goes - and not be wishing for him to make bank by…

I got some of the coolest wedding gifts from folks who "went rogue" and purchased off-registry: matching Orrefors bowls and candleholders, a cut lead crystal bud vase, and a huge modern design Waterford vase that has held every flower arrangement in my home since we received it.

Because wedding gifts are meant to help a couple set up a home together. And if you already have a a home together and all the stuff you need, then don't register. People will likely give you cash and you can spend it however you want. But asking people to fund your honeymoon is tacky. Sorry. Y'all can call me bad and…

Because it's rude to ask people to pay for stuff like that. Bottom line. It's an etiquette issue.

Exactly. I don't want to be hit up for a trip.

In that same spirit, weddings are not about getting stuff, including trips. Your wedding is not an excuse to have a vacation funded by your guests, or to get people to fit out your house. Gifts are not an obligation.

No, you're not. You're invited to a party. You're coming is the gift. There is no obligation to give anything, and people who think there is are greedy assholes you don't need in your life.

Well, you're assuming that the party and booze are free (not always so, as someone who has paid for travel & lodging for weddings with cash bars, in addition to sometimes needing to take time off work for the wedding and various wedding-related events, plus the cost of a new dress & shoes) and that weddings are super…
