I’m still laughing. Imagine an Indian woman moving to the US, giving herself the name Jesus Mormon, and then claiming to be a spiritual leader within the Mormon tradition. And, then imagine she gets to be successful, famous, wealthy, and plays with powerful people because of that identity. It strains the imagination…

If it’s any consolation, I was born into a Buddhist household in Vietnam before coming to the US as a 4 year-old war refugee in 1975 and adopted Christianity. I guess that makes it a wash..?

I had to look it up. It says she was born in the US but her mother converted to Sikhism and sent her to boarding school in India. So its inherited appropriation. 

What in the stinking fresh hell is this? For a second there, I thought it sounded like Brad was maybe interested in a woman of color and a Punjabi Sikh woman (who would btw be named Kaur, not Khalsa) no less. But of course, it’s a white blonde chick who has appropriated the name AND culture AND bastardized the religion…

Middleditch is a known douchebag, and this open marriage shit is entirely because he got famous after he got married, and decided he wasn’t done with casual sex now that he has some cachet.

Is a show based on Silicon Valley 🤷

Wanting to sound cool in a Playboy article, probably.  Insecurity wins the day again 

Karen was divorced from her first husband, which is in itself a big no-no according to the Magic Sky fairy, and still attending a Catholic church despite that, so she had to have gotten an annulment. I can’t find any record of their divorce, which makes me say hmmmm, in terms of possible overlapping dates with dating…

WTH was going on with the casting department on Silicon Valley? That show seems to have produced more than its fair share of horrible men.

I’m not telling you to break up with him....

A peck on the lips from Mother. Or, as Pence thinks of it, “third base”

What makes you think she chose Kutcher over her daughters? All reports were Moore and Willis did an excellent job with their children after their divorce and one of the daughters has spoken publicly about how grateful she is for that.

“Upstairs, at the Pence’s private suite—separate from the Trumps’—he tried again for a victory kiss, and again she told him to back off.”

Now i understand why he came up with the Pence rule he can’t control himself even with mother.

I think it’s good and healthy that you know what you want and you chose partners that reflect that. I also thinks its a bit of a gray area regarding coercion vs. wants/needs in a relationship. It seems unlikely, or less likely, that each part of a couple would come up with the idea to open a relationship at the same…

I don’t know that reporting that something happened is necessarily laying all the blame on a specific person. This particular bit is making headlines because it’s juicy.

This “given all her resources” line is B.S. We know that money doesn’t protect anyone from being unhealthy, whether mentally or physically. 

MAN I was so shitty in so many of my relationships. I wasn’t faithful in any of them. Granted some of my partners were horrible too, but some were perfectly fine folks who didn’t deserve my bullshit. It feels unreal to be in a healthy relationship where I haven’t been a dog but I think getting sober also helped...

I have had enough money to get the psychological care I needed. It still took a fuckload of excruciating work on my part. Trauma compounds trauma, so a person who, for instance, had a mother routinely overdose in front of her and had to give her CPR as a child, then was raped as an adolescent, and doesn’t get…

Hmmm? I have the same age difference between hubby and me as Demi and Ashton, and no requests for a threesome in our 13 years of marriage. Maybe the problem is Ashton not the age difference.

Her book details a lifetime of trauma and abuse. Regardless of age, a person can be vulnerable to manipulation, especially given the right set of circumstances.  And Ashton’s persona is certainly that of a dolt, but his success in business and entertainment suggests he’s rather more savvy than that.
