I was in college, chatting with a guy I'd just met in a kind of empty bar. I think it's relevant to know I went to college in a rural Midwestern town. I forget what we were talking about, but somehow the topic of hunting came up. Then the topic of hunting squirrels. Then eating squirrels. Finally he just got out his…

Thank you for this - I have been so irritated with all the MRAs all over other sites saying "well this is just like Taylor Swift". Uh, no it's not. Taylor Swift is just like tons of other singers since forever writing breakup songs that are rumored to be about other celebrities.
Robin Thicke's behavior in this really reminds me of my very abusive/controlling/manipulative ex when we broke up. My ex was not, of course, an successful singer, but he too did over-the-top gestures and heartfelt professions of how sorry he was (he was never, ever sorry before) while refusing to give me any space. I…
This is exactly how I feel about it! I came here to say that but I think you summed it up better.
This is very true! I see how strangely-naive I was being in assuming someone who had really read up couldn't espouse those views - but there's nothing like a biased "expert" is there! The personal and extremely hateful attacks are also interesting to me, but I definitely see it echoed in those other groups you've…
She has definitely been on here with a different name in even earlier threads (I think it was also a female-sounding one). I'd go through any Islam-related Jezebel topics because she's probably on all of them! I'm kind of fascinated with her because she is so, so mean and really sucks people in. She says just enough…
I think that's part of why they get so many responses - initially it seems like maybe they aren't a troll? But after having a few nonsense, very personal attacks from them as responses (with a smattering of real-sounding Islam "facts") it's pretty clear. I usually don't get really annoyed by trolls, even…
That commenter is a really horrible anti-Islam troll. They post across other sites too, and have used other user names here. It's best just to ignore and not engage, but s/he is really inflammatory and it's hard not to.
OMG - same. That book is not a great choice for high school girls, without discussions of healthy relationships and social context!! I thought Heathcliff was some kind of ideal, if abusive, loner. Blah.
I think she is a workout junkie! There was a brief period where she posted treadmill pics on her instagram....
I really like Rita Ora - I follow her on Instagram and enjoy living vicariously through her! I also love that she sang in her English accent here. :)
Honestly this cover made me completely forgive all of his Alex Jones conspiracy theories I heard him say on the radio once. My cat and I love Billy Corgan now.
I know. I totally think the job sounds horrible, but I regularly deal with colleagues who do not do their jobs. It sucks relying on these people, and she should have quit ages ago if she planned on not actually doing any work.
Sounds wonderfully professional all around.
I was all about butterfly clips. I was addicted. If they come back I might not be a functional member of society again.
I had it! Do you remember how the foam smelled? It was very distinctive even though I can't describe it now... maybe sweet?
I figured you weren't *really* trolling when I got no response to my comment. Usually such an open-ended phrase like "better conversation" leads to a never-ending, afternoon-wasting troll argument. :/
If that's your takeaway from either person mentioned then ok, yeah. I think there's probably a better conversation to have about the juxtaposition of the two, though.
With all the conspiracy theorists and "truthers" I've met or know, they all seem to have a few things in common:
