Even though unemployment isn't the ideal compared to still having your job (nothing feels worse than being fired) and the man was lame-o, congrats on winning!

Thanks!! I'm working in a boutique as a buyer/merchandiser! It's not exactly what I want to do career-wise but I'm in the running for my dream job (online niche community management) at a start up and I'm waiting for them to be ready to hire for the position. Until then, this is definitely a good gig for me and will…

He's not responding to her, so ideally she'll just stop. I'm glad you don't think I'm crazy for my feelings because I definitely feel like a crazy person.

Yeah, he's told me he isn't interested in maintaining contact with her, that he hopes she will just leave both of us alone now, and that he's sorry that I was put in that position. The thing that bugs me is that I don't want to straight up be -that- girl that says "you need to block her from contacting you via phone…

Why did I never think of this?

Haha, that first scene where he's in his place with the young girl is so hilarious, Woody Allen happens to also be one of my favorite writers.

I think you should be okay, the tiny amount of smoke you would breathe wouldn't be enough to last in your bloodstream more than a few days to a week. If he says he won't smoke for a couple days I would just take him at his word, you know?

Wow, fuck whoever uploaded those pictures. My freshman year of college I briefly dated a guy who then dumped me for a 16 year old, then proceeded to post all of my personal info on Reddit over Christmas break. I got lots of really scary/threatening/creepy texts and calls and people asking for my home address, family…

Two things:

As a chronically overdressed person, I feel you. I like to wear nice things for myself (and I consider myself a stylish person), but it does make me feel slightly uncomfortable to receive a lot of compliments when really the outfit isn't something I made special wardrobe and situational considerations for. However any…

I knew Said would be on someone else's mind as well.

I think the only time I've had soda of any kind over the past 6-7 years has been in crown and cokes or rum and cokes, even then I don't drink those very often.

DAT BOOTY.

Actually I can suggest a great book for you! Orientalism by Edward Said, I highly recommend it, I was required to read it at uni for my anthropology degree.

Food and people, yes, I hear it fairly often. I might be more prone to noticing when people say it because I'm an anthropologist?

I was just on a kick about the word "exotic" and all of the implications surrounding it yesterday. I have too many feelings to even type them out right now. Can we also do away with the word "oriental"?

That Adam Levine - Nina Agdal thing was over so fast that this is the first time I've even heard about it.

Listen. I was not on my computer. I was on my iPhone and not at home where my full attention could be dedicated to my sentence construction. I have already apologized downthread for my error in phrasing. Focusing on one error instead of moving the conversation forward is petulant.

I don't know that having difficulty losing weight due to poor diet choices is considered an ED/weight disorder, but I've never had either/am not a physician or psychologist.

You know, even though I am biracial and multiethnic, I look like a white woman and I'm from America. I'm not okay, as an anthropologist, with westerners telling women from non-western cultures how to live their lives and taking their agency to change their culture on their own. That has nothing to do with my personal…
