You aren't alone. We have a St. Bernard who despises water and who we've also had since she was a pup - so, definitely no history of water torture. It baffles me.

I can't even front, I have always found him to be ridiculously sexy.

Exactly. And there aren't enough conscientious consumers to make an impact. Do you think Walmart gives one fuck about my refusal to shop there? Are they missing my money? No. And likewise, the NFL will see zero impact from their treatment of women (cheerleader pay, domestic violence tacit approval), as the few…

Was it? I honestly don't remember this.

But most people aren't willing to abstain from enjoying the products or any other varying convenience. I despise it, and them, and corporations in general. But they're right.

I am so over the use of "authentic" as a descriptor for ABSOLUTELY FUCKING EVERYTHING lately.

Where did you live in Indiana? Inquiring minds and all.

I love this so much! When I was in grad school, I spent two weeks driving from Chicago to Seattle in a U-Haul helping a friend move. On that drive, I developed a dream of moving to a small town in North Dakota and opening a coffee shop/bookstore and converting an old barn into a home. God, I was an insufferable…

God damn it. That link is beyond words.

I was just going to say exactly this. If it wasn't horrible to read the first time, it certainly seems worse upon repetition.

I really try to like her, but everything she writes just seems so overly wrought and affected.

Preesh!

If he "popped out of the womb that way," he did so only in as much as your average sociopath/psychopath does so, at which point his sexual orientation becomes arbitrary in light of his psychology.

On it's own, that's a fair enough statement. But looking at their ratio of employment between whites and African Americans speaks volumes. It is fucking abysmal.

The intertwining of sex and power is fine, so long as all parties are consenting adults. This shitstain was not seeking consent and was relying on shame to hide his crimes.

Made me squee! Thank you! Maybe you have to be followed to post them. I don't really know anything.

Maybe I'm being really naive, but I don't think anyone could claim rape as a sexual orientation. I mean, I just don't see it considering that orientation has to do with attraction toward a particular group, or lack thereof in regards to asexuality. I guess I could see the fetish argument - not to say that I agree…

Or, how will we simultaneously watch Law & Order (seat-back style) while crushing mad candies (phone) and pinning (tablet)? It takes three screens at all times.

Interesting.

"Robertson said when she pitched a story about an African-American model who'd been killed, Gleick told her the victim looked like a "slut" and the magazine wasn't interested."
