Your parents sound not cool. Not cool at all. If my kids every told me they saw shit like that, I would be all over it.

I just had to say how much I love this story. The idea of loved ones waiting to help us cross is beautiful. 

Movie producers, this is the one you want.

I thiiiink I told this story like ten years ago here, but it may have been somewhere else. Anyway, here it is again!!

I could write off the first part as a night terror. But the second part? Nah, fam. Horrifying.

Your story gave me a very clear mental image of something shaggy and vaguely humanoid creeping backward on all fours, and that image is terrifying!

I rarely tell this story, because people just chalk it up to the weed and wine, but I was pretty clear-headed when it happened. What I saw may not qualify as a ghost, but it was something. Anyhow.

This happened when I was around seven and living in a small farm town outside of Chicago. Each night I’d go to bed and from the ceiling above me a little girl, in the shape of a shadow, would watch me. I recall she had this curly untamed hair and no facial features, but she definitely read as a little girl around my…

To be fair to Lizzie Bennet, she lived in a totally different time where women’s literal survival depended on attracting and locking down the wealthiest mate possible. She did not have the option of earning her own living, or, regardless of money, living an independent life without marriage. Under those circumstances,…

“What is: Shit that was not written by a woman or a man who has interacted with them, Alex?”

FWIW: God only knew that Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge when He/Her/They saw the humans clothed and “ashamed of their nakedness”.

This is what happens when cisgender, heterosexual women are kicked out of feminism, and for evidence just look at the Kardashians, the Real Housewives, the moms of TikTokers...but, SPECIFICALLY, their legion of fans.

I can’t think of a single friend whose man was doing his share before they got married though. There isn’t a single case where they can truly say it’s a surprise that after they got married he totally changed and stopped helping out. I mean, if you’re already buying your boyfriend’s mom her birthday present when…

You just said a mouthful, all of it wise.

Right? Like we all have things we’ve got to vent on. Someone did something dumb. Someone forgot something. Cool, vent away.

“I have always been surprised by the number of people I know who seem to actively dislike their spouse and/or children.”

Every once in a while my wife will come home from hanging out with a married friend and thank me for not being terrible. It’s kind of a joke, but only kind of. I’m out here earning points for not…

Its SUPER cringey how much old humor was basically “oh boy, I sure do HATE my wife, I hope she dies, or at least I can die to avoid her!”

The quarantine experience was definitely a red pill moment for a lot of couples. 

I have always been surprised by the number of people I know who seem to actively dislike their spouse and/or children. The societal pressure was strong, so they got married to someone who seemed good at the time, bought a house, popped at 2.5 kids, and generally distracted themselves from the conveyor belt of it all…

While I do not doubt that women have bared the brunt of this pandemic, especially when it comes to house chores, child rearing, etc; there is something about this line that irks me:
