Btw did you hear about the similar one in Germany in the early 1900s? eerily similar circumstances and both stories are just downright creepy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinterkaifeck_murders

Agreed. He was young and stupid.

To be fair, I’m sure he is now older and stupid, but it was a different kind of stupid when he was 20 and inexperienced.

I like 3000% relate to this

My jaw hurts.

I have a list on my phone of all the things I dont need more of (blankets, sheets, books, etc.) which I always check before actually purchasing anything. I’ve avoided buying (and accumulating) so much stuff!

Wait, but do you have a boyfriend??

1. Automate most bills - I read Ramit Sethi’s book and setup a few bank accounts. One for direct deposit, one to pay out the bills, and a third to use with my debit card

69% of women between 65 and 80 believe sex is important to a relationship at any age

Spending every night from 8-who knows gaming seems hard to do if you’re employed.

See, I actually prefer The Virgin Suicides to The Bling Ring which was a) awful, b) problematic, and c) awful.

Agree it’s gross and fetishizing, but I felt that it was playing into that intentionally. And, okay, it’s always really murky territory when you get into intentionality, but Eugenides was reworking ancient Greek tropes and the fundamental fascination with/inability to see into the women’s quarters. They boys made…

Agree that the perspective is gross, but I don’t think the movie (or the book) ever tried to justify it. It was just a lens. I felt like it actually added to the mystery because you know those boys were looking at the girls from a very specific POV.

That’s not true. Some of us resent authority but are also way too lazy to want to deal with other people’s bullshit.

Counterpoint: how old are you? Millennial men absolutely do not woo, court or do anything else you’re describing. (Which I’m not complaining about for the record, just noting.) I’m in my early 30s and don’t know a single American couple that got together following the man’s pursuit. On the other hand, I moved to…

I am trying hard to understand what you are saying. Are you saying that it is emotionally laborious to ask a pretty girl to go get coffee with you? Is it laborious for you to ask this creature of light on a second date? A third? Certainly, no one likes to be rejected, but I don’t see how worrying about rejection is…
