I once got very sick with a raging stomach bug while staying with my friend at her parents’ house, several states away from home. While I was there, her father discovered that her mother had been having an affair. So I was just stuck in the house, with puking and diarrhea, while the family blew up around me. The…

I don’t see a difference between stealing something outright and staying silent as I watch the cashier accidentally forget to scan my purchase. I don’t care at all about the business. I just care about being a person who doesn’t steal things. I also don’t want the cashier to get in trouble.

As a lesbian, my experience is that we are more likely to work out what each partner likes and then do that, rather than considering anything mandatory for it to be real sex, or good sex. I feel like we're more creative and adapt better to each other's preferences, since our toys don't care whether they get to be…

Yeah, whoever wrote this is familiar with blind items and worried about being figured out. So she put a bunch of fake but pointless details in there. She's not filming in Croatia. She probably wasn't an only child. She probably didn't grow up in a poor "country" but rather a poor town or something.

Vanessa also has good reason to hate Perez Hilton. After her nude photo scandal, he used to draw dicks and cum on photos of her.

My most recent meltdown was when I couldn't do my laundry because my neighbor was washing every article of clothing he owns. It was my only free night all week, and I had planned to have a couple of hours decompress time after my laundry was done. Instead, I had to keep going up and down the stairs and around the…

Wow, so that's what Christina is saying in the lyrics... I have listened to this song many times and never understood about half of it.

Because she basically said that women have been fighting for gay people and people of color all of these years, and now it's time for those groups to support women's causes. It's offensive because we actually have the opposite problem: feminism has been prioritizing the problems of white, straight women for decades,…

Nobody posted the audio on reddit or used it in the commercial. The dispatcher posted his recollection of the call transcript. The organization hired actors to make this commercial, based on the reddit post.

I got the sense that in the original article, they wrote both Dr. and Ph.D. just to emphasize, "You have fucked with a smart person who knows how to write things." It had a sort of "mic drop" tone in my mind, so it's not necessarily how she writes her name all the time.

My optimistic take is that Hollywood is trying to say something with these nominations and awards — they often make political statements by voting for certain shows or performances. For the most part, it doesn't matter who wins, and nobody remembers. It doesn't really mean that one actor is better than another. But…

That sounds very difficult and painful for both of you. It's especially sad that she won't even let you touch her. It sounds like restoring basic intimacy might be the first step, if you two can just cuddle without any pressure. Maybe you two can agree to try some simple touching, and you can promise to just keep it…

I don't think you understand trauma... it's absolutely understandable that she might tell her friends she was forced to perform oral sex, rather than admitting the entire humiliating truth right after it happened.

This is not true for me at all, but I think it's because I live in the city. By the time I walk to my car (1-3 blocks away) I'm wet, so my experience of driving in the rain involves me being wet and cold. And I know that when I get to my destination, I'm going to have to park 1-3 blocks away again, so I'll be back out…

I am the same way. When I clicked on the video, my first thought was six minutes??

Well, even with video, 28% of whites agreed with the grand jury in the Garner case. I can't find data, but I imagine the breakdown for Tamir Rice would be similar — a majority of whites thinking it was a criminal act, but a substantial minority thinking the officer didn't do anything wrong. But I still think the video…

Most of this is sad but unsurprising, however I do think it's interesting that a majority of white respondents (excluding don't knows) thought the grand jury made the wrong decision in the Eric Garner case (47% wrong decision vs 28% right decision). There are a few differences in the cases, but the main one was that…

I agree — I believe she was sexually assaulted and traumatized, but like many people with PTSD, she was wrong about the details. Rolling Stone failed her by publishing those specific details without confirming them, and now we have a "hoax!!" shitstorm.

Oh that sounds awful. If you haven't already, consider talking to a urologist about it. There are things they can investigate and try (most likely medication).

Me too. When I met my girlfriend, she was amazed at how little I drink during the day, unless we're in for the night. But if I drank water all day like she does, I would spend the entire day trying to find restrooms. I finally saw a urologist who prescribed medication, and it helps but hasn't solved the problem — I…
