My access to the Hollywood game has been blocked since GDPR came into force last May so I wouldn’t have been surprised if that one was closing down.

I can’t even. And the thing that gets me - other than obviously his feeling ENTITLED to her attention - was the wanton destruction of books. There’s a special place in hell for people who destroy books.

The story with him destroying Amber Heard’s books because she wasn’t paying attention to him filled me so so much rage that I’ll never be able to find him hot again.

I’ve been using my cats as an excuse for years, but they’re all gone now. This morning I luckily got an assignment that’s due at the beginning of January and will have to work through X-mas break anyway so now I have this year’s excuse. ;-)

Thanks! I’ll be glad once the season has passed.

I know, right? I don’t think my MIL is narcissistic, but like my own mother, she was the child of a narcissist and learned a lot of toxic behaviors growing up. Add in both evangelical fundamentalism (my younger BIL and SIL and their spouses) and strict catholicism (my MIL and the rest of the family) and the drama is…

Yeah, I reached my limit the year after the surprise wedding. My new SIL was pregnant and she asked me why we hadn’t had kids yet (we were in our late 30s/early 40s at this point). I’d just recently found out I was infertile, so I told her, adding that I was OK with it as I own a business that fills my life. Her…

OMG, that reminds me of the time my SIL got me a “suit” for X-mas when I started working outside of the house for the first time (I’ve been a freelancer since I got married and this was a second job). It was a lime green velour suit (she wasn’t being intentionally mean, she just lacks taste). The pants were…

The worst giftgiver in the family was my former stepfather, who had a habit of giving extravagant (and frequently stolen) gifts at Christmas and birthdays and then later demanding them back as they had only been “lent” to us. We always refused to return them and this was one of the rare points where my mother…

It still sucks for them, though. A lot of these kids have turned to streaming and other social media content production due to a lack of job opportunities in the world of traditional employment for their generation, showing a lot of imagination and initiative in the process. I hope they find something that sticks.

Eh, learning that you have to play along with certain rules to succeed in life is the epitome of maturing.

Wow, what an asshole. This has killed any remaining interest in him completely for me.

It sounds like it’s supposed to be a bypass.

I’m in my 50s now and I just cringe so hard when I remember how smug and clueless I was in my 20s and 30s. Even 10 years ago. Jesus.

That mother is a piece of work. It sounds like a kind of Münchhausen’s where she intentionally sets up the kid to be bullied throughout her life so that she can get attention by accusing people of being mean.

I predict a future in which the kid changes the name as soon as she’s legal and goes no contact with her mother, and the mother will have no idea why.

That will be the main bright spot of the rapture.

I did buy a couple of things at Amazon, but I went looking for new online shops for the bulk of my purchasing, as well as Etsy.

So much for liberal Illuminati Freemason deep staters who want to destroy pure Christian/Republican principles! They’re supposed to be on our side! Much disappoint.

The r/ProRevenge subreddit is full of people getting revenge by reporting people to the IRS. That’s probably why they think it’s effective.
