OMG I’m sorry this happened to you and I agree with everyone else in this thread. I’m just jumping in to agree goddessoftransitory above to say that I am also ENRAGED on your behalf. Make a noise, make a LOT of noise.

I can relate to this and everything in this thread. My former boss was compensated with a fully paid, family trip to Fiji on a private yet for reducing wages and cutting staff. lol Oh the irony! Also, there were constant threats made to employees about saving money and reducing waste - but since I actually worked with…

And this is one of the many reasons to hate insurance companies. I feel like I have nothing productive to say except to brainstorm (crappy?) options, like a) see if there’s some place that does TMS for a sliding scale fee, and b) continue to do it, just do it less frequently. Both options suck, but maybe there’s a way…

If you’re talking about a commenter with Dan in his name, he’s a constant troll in these types of articles. Very MRA, very concerned with how various things will affect the poor white male.

If NBC were putting out a Christmas Special and Gwen was like, the MC and not the central singing star, it would still just be okay, but this just doesn’t work. No matter how much I loved Tragic Kingdom, I do not think of Gwen when I think of stellar Christmas pipes, nor do I think of her as the central figure on…

Same. Have a friend who is obsessed with his stand up, and kept trying to convince me to watch it. I watched parts of one of the more recent standups (not sure which year?? The 2010's). Anyhow, as I mentioned to someone else above, once he started talking about the creepy daughter stuff, I noped out.

“Until he followed that with the creepy daughter material” - the creepy daughter material was a full stop for me. Granted, unlike a lot of comedy fans, I had NOT seen all of his stand up routines. I gave that one a try and noped out. 

A question that has yet to be answered in these comments: what’s with the obsession of these type of guys (Weinstein/CK etc.) to want to be watched while masturbating? What is that weird dynamic about? What is the allure?

Damn this is well said. Deserves a star plus a comment because I only have the one star to give.

This is funny because my parents would actually give people the thumbs up when they did something terrible on the road, kind of to confuse the other driver. So if someone had clearly cut in front of my mom and dad, my parents would have smiled and given them the thumbs up. It always makes the clearly aggressive other…

I don’t know if anyone will see this at this point but - what is it about these guys in power all wanting to masturbate in front of women??? What is the allure? What level of confidence do you have to have to think that someone wants to see you yank on your junk?

Can’t we have both? Lobster AND cracked crab!

Maybe she just likes acting - actors presumably get into it for the joy of it (unlike, say, accounting. Not that there aren’t people who love to crunch numbers.) And it may be that she doesn’t have that many options for roles, and she also genuinely enjoyed working on the series, so is it really that strange that…

Are you trying to argue in favor of employees being forced to be available and on the clock 24/7?? Because I agree with Will and Harry here. I mean, you can make a separate argument about how privileged they are, without roping the rest of the workforce into on-call positions.

I don’t know where you go to parties, but I’ve had plenty of places to sit and put down drinks in open concept house parties. Maybe your friends need more furniture.

Yes. Also, let’s be real, all open concept means, really, is that the kitchen/living/dining are open to one another, and there’s better flow between the rooms. It doesn’t mean you don’t have privacy, because never does an open concept mean doorless bedrooms or dens and so on. Crazy idea - but you can have open concept …

I don’t have children and I love open concept. “The reasons people give for open concept are insane” - no, they’re preferences. Otherwise this would be true, “the reasons people give for closed concept are insane.” <—-case in point, people who want closed concept want to keep their dirty dishes hidden. What if you…

Anybody named Skip and Muffy wanted closed concept, as the age of those names would suggest.

“And most modern house have small bedrooms now.” Where do you live?? This is the exact opposite of everything I’ve seen in modern homes, and I’ve toured new developments every spring and fall since the year 2003. (As well as spent most of 2016 looking for a new house.) Modern bedrooms are not getting smaller (In the…
