This is correct, except for the first movie. No one knows what happened in the first one.

Ah, my son. We meet again. I see Xenu has you in high spirits.

I can understand this sentiment. I have a relatively rare neuromuscular disease that has a few treatments but receives little funding, and it certainly is frustrating and heartbreaking to see pharma passing on investigating drugs for us because they don't deem them profitable. It sucks, and I've definitely been down…

Oh dear! Do you have any ideas of situations where you could have maybe been cruel? It's just hard to look back on that age with an adult eye; everyone says offensive things in their lives, especially kids who are just trying to figure the world out, and it's hard to

Yeah, I guess I had never thought about it that way. I was pretty viciously harassed by this one girl in high school (which I mentioned in another thread) and looking back, I really don't place much anger with the bystanders. Sometimes I do wish my friends had stood up for me more, but I can understand their not…

Also that picture of her from the Grammys is either photoshopped or highly misleading. I looked up other photos of her from that same red carpet and she has her normal shape in those.

I dunno, this looks photoshopped. I saw some other photos of her from this same red carpet and she looks exactly the same as usual.

That's an insult to slugs; they would probably be much better at hosting a talk show than this guy.

YES!!

Well, I'm around 30 and I'd be utterly devastated to lose a parent at this point, so FWIW I think what you went through was pretty traumatic. I haven't lost a parent yet, but it's probably #1 on my list of "awful things I dread ever encountering".

Thanks! I'll have to look at my settings again. The last time I adjusted it, the only option like that was to approve before tagged stuff was posted to your wall. I did that, and it still kept automatically posting stuff to my wall! Bah humbug. But maybe I should go back and look again.

Yeah, I have this idea that it would help renew my faith in humanity, but I dunno if that would even happen. About 7-8 years ago I saw her on myspace; I was seriously tempted to send her a message just saying "hey just wanted to let you know that you really hurt me back then" but I didn't know how I could send such a…

I'm glad to see other people admit to these feelings of regret. I was on Jezebel a few years ago (different username) and commented on a bullying story with this same kind of sentiment, only to have a bunch of people coming down on me for being "just as bad as the bullies". I can certainly see where they were coming…

Seriously, this entire interaction is awesome. There was a girl who absolutely tortured me in high school, and I've spent the last decade occasionally fantasizing that maybe she'd send me a message like this someday. Alas, I don't think this level of humility is possible in her, and I wouldn't be surprised if she…

I have been thinking about doing this for years, for a girl I went to middle school with. I wasn't close with her and never participated, but still feel completely terrible for the fact that I never stood up to defend her. :(

Blood doping.

Are exposed ankles going to be the new major trend for dude pants soon?

I have been wondering this as well, and am still not sure how to proceed (although Burt's advice here is pretty brilliant). My main problem is one which cannot be solved via unfollowing or restricting, although those help. I have a really annoying self-aggrandizing aunt who gets offended VERY easily and is VERY…

This is amazing. TOTALLY doing this, thanks!

I'm really glad to hear these explanations, and kinda felt like an ignorant ass after I wrote that comment. And when I think about it, you're right - I've never read the comics and only seen (recent) film adaptations, and he has always been just a total snoozeville. It's like, "he can fly and he's super strong! but…
