I know people wrung their hands about Hillary Clinton calling Gabbard a Russian tool because something something establishment something feminism.

How exactly is “moral panic” relevant to this discussion?

Jameela is correct, your liver is your detox.

I think one of the unfortunate truths we have to come to grips with is that most art is made by fundamentally broken people. Fundamentally broken people often do things we find morally problematic. Reconciling the love of the art and the abhorrence of the actions is never going to be cut and dried. Sure, there are…

I don’t see any reason why they can’t continue being artists. Now, whether they’re popular artists or not is up to the audience.

And if he is sleeping with her and she hasn’t even had a first kiss, then the story is even more romantic.

“Reminds me of when I was a loser...” is enough harshness for one post. :)

Yeah but if someone is doing something that impedes my focus they don’t have to accommodate me unless its hugely inappropriate. What they choose to put on their feet is my problem to deal with if it ruins my focus.

I feel the same about feet. They don’t gross me out, so if they don’t smell and you’re not putting them up on something that I may later be touching, like a table, then why do I care? A lot of the concern seems to be about how unsanitary it may be, and while I get that using a public restroom in bare feet is nasty,…

A) Shoes pick up germ too, that’s why I compared feet to shoes and not other body parts. Because it’s bare feet instead of shoes, not instead of other body parts.

B) If feet smell that’ rude. It’’s also rude if your shoes smell. Smell is it’s own issue.

C) Do ugly people need to wear masks for you too?

How is it unhygenic for anyone other than the barefoot person? I’m sure her feet have fewer germs than my shoes. She surely washes them more often than I do my shoes.

How is it unhygienic? Are feet picking up way more dirt than shoes do? How is it rude? Because you don’t like it?

Everyone. Needs. To. Get. Over. Foot-phobia.

HPV is so incredibly common that it is entirely likely that she encountered it before she married him. Or if he gave it to her he didn’t get it from the woman in Panama. 90% of the adult population in the US have HPV at some point. You may never know you have it because 70% of people just end up having their immune…

Totally agree. Stuff like this makes me really think of how differently we’re raised if people like you and me see this as a pretty easy thing to do and some others are acting like LW is put upon. Yes, distance yourself from your mom because she expects you to write cards when you get gifts. Sure, she’s the difficult…

I am so grossed out that you know all that stuff about your niece.

that’s how that works if two people are on a joint lease where you have both agreed in writing to pay a certain amount? also how it works in the land of people who aren’t a-holes. i have many friends who designate similar agreements upon move-in in the event of a breakup - either the breaker agrees to subsidize rent,…

It’s concerning to me how many people respond to this with “Who cares you’re dumping him byeeee!” Going through a break up isn’t a reason to be a shit person (unless your S.O is abusive) and karma is also a thing.

Because that’s not what the discussion is about. They aren’t debating staying together, she’s being courteous to somone she’s spent a decade with. They are also “best friends”. You don’t cut out on someone after that long. He wasn’t abusive. You be an adult. Deal with it, and then make arrangements at the same…
