So weird. A white dude who screws over a black woman is totally forgiven while the black woman is permanently blacklisted. WEIRD. Who would have thought?

But...Benghazi!

I mean, this scenario has come up in the past. But only when I was playing Cards Against Humanity.

That’s so awesome! I am happy for you, internet stranger! I’m learning so much about open communication from my partner, but I can totally relate, I have that same underlying assumption about trust that I have to constantly remind myself about.

Same.

Holy shit! I can only imagine the conversation at home that evening...

Yeah my rapist/abuser was a self proclaimed feminist. Fuck it is so disheartening. I’m so sorry that you went through that.

Oh man that is so rough. I got nothing, other than a lot of guys are really cool in many ways but are unable to really try to put themselves in a woman’s shoes.

Agreed. I added blue streaks to my hair in February than in June needed to look professional. Unfortunately the best I could get even going to a salon even 4 months later was greenish streaks. Oh well. I got the job anyway.

She is utterly loathsome. Ugh. Shut up already.

Same. At 38 fell HARD for a guy. For the first time in my life, I am interdependent on someone, not totally independent. It is wonderful and weird.

It is a little thing, but the aggregate of all the little things is what makes or breaks a marriage I think. I would rather have time together to let all the little things unfold than have the occasional big thing, you know?

I relate to this so much. I have always dated/was married to emotionally distant men; that felt safe to me. I fell hard for my partner who is totally open and vulnerable and emotionally present. It is frightening and wonderful to be so open. And that openness has allowed us to negotiate living together in a way that…

I understand. My first marriage had a lot of emotional distance, and a few years ago I would have thought that Judith Light’s solution was the best. But with my new partner, I cherish the closeness, I love working with him to fold the laundry or do anything. There is an intimacy, a peaceful zen to it.

Damn it you beat me to it. I was just going to post that along with what about the destroyed earth they will live to see? The lack of health care? What about their risk of being shot at a concert?

This is an interesting premise, that makes sense to me. People are terrible at risk assessment, all the data in the world won’t have the impact that some vivid photos would.

I don’t understand the weird attachment Americans have to their guns. And I am an American who grew up in a rural area with a hunting culture. I have a friend who is a combat vet, a marine, who isn’t seeking mental health treatment because he is afraid they will take away his gun. I know multiple people who think that…

I don’t disagree with the message, but they do a poor job of effectively communicating it out. They need strong, succinct sound bites that they agree to.

Can I join you? I’ll bring more wine?
