Someone downthread commented about how they made a list of pros and cons with drinking and their pro list was half a page and their cons list was two pages, and it was a serious lightbulb moment for me because my pro list is about half a page and my con list is “I am older so I am more prone to get a hangover” and “I…

This show looks 100% ridiculous and 100% like something I would watch.

“I think each person has to know themselves and the role drinking is playing in their life.”

Thanks for this. I go through periods where I really love drinking and then my anxiety kicks into overdrive and I wonder if I’ve developed a drinking problem as a reaction to recovering from binge eating, and then I un-anxiety…

I’m fortunate not to have any addiction issues, but I relate completely to sometimes wanting to dive into a wine glass to escape my inescapable parenting duties. For me it’s more the symbolism of the glass- an ADULT glass, filled with an ADULT beverage- than drinking itself. I’ve had times I poured the glass and just…

I wrestled with whether or not I should really quit for a long time. I had quit before, for long periods even, and then rationalized going back because ‘I can control it now’ and ‘maybe I don’t really have a problem,’ just flip-flopping back and forth. Then one day someone said something that struck me, hard, like a…

The person is clearly a troll, for sure. But that doesn’t actually change the fact that this idea about women’s anatomy is being perpetuated. And you might be surprised at the number of people—yes, even on Jezebel—who hold some mistaken beliefs about what your average vulva looks like. In a culture that systematically…

Also, vaginoplasty is a thing. Because women with lush labia feel bad about their bodies and pay for uneccessary surgery to reduce their bits for a “tidy” and “youthful” appearance. All of this just makes me want to scream.

CAN WE ALSO TALK ABOUT HOW THE SIZE AND SHAPE OF ONE’S LABIA HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH THE AMOUNT OF SEX ONE HAS???

Psh, I have a DEGREE in Finance and barely understand how bonds work. Thing is unless you are a specialized bond trader who does this for a living 90% of the time you try to make money off bonds you will get hosed.

When I saw the title, I was all set to be self-righteous and feel good about being really smart with money, but I have no idea how bonds work. I can budget like there’s no tomorrow, but am completely clueless about investments and such.

Why is her husband garbage? Did I miss something? I haven’t been watching recently.

Yeh. Anything to do with falling...just...ugh my stomach turns. I like being up high but as soon as I get near an edge I have to drop to my knees because the world spins. Falling is one of my biggest fears. I can’t even watch OTHER people go near edges...

I thought we all agreed that there was only one remake we needed.

I am 39 years old, neither hipster nor millennial, and LOVE Golden Girls. I watched when it first ran in the 80s and happily watch reruns today. Strong female friendships, especially amongst seniors, were a novelty on TV both then and now. Plus Dorothy is my spirit animal.

I mean, those kids have awful parents so I can understand why they’re awful too, but how do their parents not drown them in the bathtub for that shit?

God damn I miss marching band.

There is a difference between saying, “here is some information that can reduce your risk of being raped/robbed/assaulted” and saying it is your responsibility to remain sober to avoid being raped/robbed/assaulted. I believe it is a good idea for people to lock their car doors to prevent thieves from stealing their…

Obviously getting helplessly drunk is unsafe for anyone, though often understandable - many people, especially young newer drinkers, do not know their own tolerances. But yes, it’s dangerous, including in and of itself.

Luann is me.

being nervous=!trigger happy. these cops that are killing people are trigger happy, and I think you’d be hard pressed to find enough people who aren’t nervous about someone with a gun to be police.
