The car was in locked garage and she did not have keys to the garage door.

What felony was Marisa Alexander accused of committing when she fired a warning shot to protect herself from her abuser?

Can I share this comment to Groupthink?

Yes! Listening to a member of a group is so much better than a manufactured experience designed by people who may not have any experience with living as a member of that group themselves.

How does it hurt the airline if someone does sell a voucher? It's still only used once.

I wanna be called "Lady Sybil Nonstopera!"

I would love to see that literature review. I guess I could make an email account just for that purpose and post it here, and if you have time and feel like sending it later on when you have permission, that would be awesome. Thanks for taking this so seriously.

That is the way it is in the original stage show. Weird, I know.

Just in case of a leak, you don't want to be wearing your cutest pair.

It's not ridiculous to work for healthier food choices for everyone, not just fat people. It's not a bad thing to encourage and empower everyone to move, not just fat people. Make it about health for everyone and not about fat people and it is a whole different ball game. And it has a better effect on health than…

I always think mine isn't that bad too, but there is a personality type and a pattern of behavior that a lot of these guys have in common. You're the only other person I've heard from who got out because you recognized the warning signs. I used to say I started seeing myself on Oprah. I think we were both lucky to…

Oh, it's been a lot of years since then. I forgot to add the encouraging bit, which was that it was mostly just breaking the habit of being with someone that was difficult, and it really wasn't hard. The threat came out of the blue near the end. The phone thing had been like a month before. I really couldn't believe…
