But “Reality TV” started it, don’t you think?

There was a LOT of truly classy af fashion in the 80's. People only show the awful stuff as though it were the standard. Boo. At least we got rid of “bell bottom” (flared) pants for a while.

I’m so damn curious. I would love to see your JS. Is it like a camo look? Is it trendy or are you fabulously original? I’ll have to google it.

He’s just smart. He promotes her = he’s a great guy. She get’s plenty of work = he has to pay less support? He get’s more work cause he’s a “nice guy.”

They are sexist AF. Ours is run by men -”Pillars of the Community” and women who have deeply internalized misogyny. Also, they still lean very hard on the “Christian” in YMCA.

Never. That would be like him saying “I have always been a dick, everything I have ever said is wrong, and I am a monster.”

I still don’t use it, and I don’t live in a cave either. It was, I believe, one of the last “cultural updates” given to us by Yuppies. You know, that and bars full of hanging plants:/

Don’t know about you, but one way or another, I feel his lunatic rage blowing down MY neck all of the time.

You’re a good parent. Maybe you should dip into the swamp to see what’s going on so that you can be better prepared.

Maybe that’s the joke: why they were all so incapable of real introspection. There seemed to be a lot of unconditional love, but maybe it was all just enabling behaviors.

I think it’s above average where I live. The males are incredibly over confident. Seriously, I’ve had to put up with this shit in a grocery check-out line.

Not to mention despair and bullshit.

I’m afraid I have to disagree. I think it stems from a deep fear of insecurity about being ACCEPTED by our potential peers. We are afraid of being judged by folks LESS tolerant than we are.

Lord, if we can’t get an honest take from someone like that, what are we to do?!!!

This is the awfulest, best story I have heard in a while. It is both hilarious and horrifying.

ID. You really rock my insignificant world.

For a second there I thought “no-FB” was some NEW kind of Facebook, and THAT is an interesting prospect. Like, would everyone advertise how bleakly normal they are? Post snaps of family feuds and their kids acting bratty?

Seriously, I’m guessing they aren’t no-shows because they are doing something “better” or secretly don’t like you. From what I’m picking up from social media, people WANT to go do things/be with people, but they are literally too terrified to actually do it: “OMG, people will be prettier, more fit, happier, have…

Shit, We moved less than a mile to a new side of town and can’t find friends. Of course, we couldn’t find any before either so....

So are you saying that people yearn for the kind of (honestly) beautiful, heartfelt and generous experience you provide, but when it’s offered them they can’t even show up and allow themselves to enjoy it?.
