“Honestly, I feel like I’ve been lied to, and I suddenly wonder why so many people like me grew up thinking that Airplane! was a generalized parody of 1970s disaster movies like Airport and its many sequels.” 

No. I will happily admit to watching Friends and The Office, but The Big Bang Theory is unwatchable for me. I have attempted to give it a chance.  It feels painful.

Nobody I’ve ever met who went to USC was super into school. (And I live in the LA metro area, so that is a lot of people.)

What’s funny is how you don’t link to Chelsea Clinton’s supposedly Islamophobic rhetoric.  Probably because it would become immediately apparent that her rhetoric is not Islamophobic.

“When you make it down to the root end, don’t you dare throw it away—slice it off and save it for stock instead.”

“Imagine a Real Housewives franchise where half the cast goes Nazi.”

Michael Jackson and the Catholic Church certainly have this in common: for my entire life (born in the early 80s), it has been common knowledge that both regularly sexually abused children. And for my entire life, every couple of years, there would be new “SHOCKING ALLEGATIONS!” about both, and people would pretend…

Yeah, I’m coming to terms with the slow death of a college friendship. She was my bridesmaid, and we’ve visited each other’s cities (it’s been awhile), but the past few years, she basically just rarely returns my texts. I had a baby, and that should be good for at least the bare minimum of feigned interest, but she…

I Love You, Man, and Bridesmaids are both so good about the difficulties of finding and maintaining friendship as an adult. I actually cried during the Bridesmaids scene where Melissa McCarthy points out all of the ways Kristen Wiig is pushing away new potential friends while at the same time complaining that she…

‘But she is skeptical that the Nordic model—what NOW-NY has described as a “middle ground”—further marginalizes sex workers, despite evidence to the contrary.’

I don’t either, but if we’re going to rank them, being forced to marry one’s rapist seems worse than not being forced to marry one’s rapist, so his rankings are wrong regardless.

“CARLSON: Because when a 13-year-old boy is 35 he can barely remember the girls he slept with when he was 13.

“The reason they don’t vaccinate is because they’re stupid.” A contributing factor may be that they love their opinions more than their children.

For the first few years I would likely care for my daughter, and then when she went off to school, I would paint and read and listen to music and watch movies.

I’m trying to remember if I’ve ever had a crush on a pop culture bad boy. Probably Gale Harold on Queer As Folk. Oh Brian...I wonder what he’s up to?

I’m the only one of my big group of friends to give birth vaginally. A lot of them were told by their doctors near the end that their babies were too big for vaginal delivery. I wonder if we tend in the use either to give birth to bigger babies, or to overestimate birth weight at later prenatal visits.

Bernie should stay the fuck home.

Everything here, yes.

Some bots definitely hang out here, and have for some time. Back when Wendy Deng was first reported to be dating Putin, after being married to Rupert Murdoch, there were a ton of bizarre, “Good for her!” comments on here, as though the thought of sleeping with Murdoch or Putin doesn’t make any decent person want to…

“89 stars so far for a comment that basically says there’s no such thing as misogynoir or hijabphobia.”  Do you think lying about what others have said makes your point stronger?
