Everything they said before me. I found them riveting, and I'm not much for thrillers. Funny story: my extremely religious, conservative MIL recommended them to me, so I absolutely did not expect the gruesome violence within. Like some of your other responders, I had to take a little walk after reading a couple of…

Are you fucking kidding me. That is a bundle of sticks (dealer invoice: $Free) wrapped in embroidery thread (dealer invoice $0.50) selling for $28 fucking dollars before tax and shipping. Next you're going to tell me the sticks were gathered by children who get a single grain of rice for each stick they bring back to…

Not gonna lie: sometimes this closing-in-on-middle-aged married lady gets a kick out of the young men in obviously-too-tight pants flashing their wares. I think they're silly and trying way too hard, but I was and I did too when I was their age.

Is this an appropriate excuse for getting out of coworkers' nightclub birthday parties? (I work in entertainment and people go out after shows)

This actually aired while I was in a waiting room. I didn't know it was this guy... I just thought it was one more addict being exploited by that asshole Phil for TV. I didn't have them courage to change the channel myself, but it was so horrible to even listen to, I pulled up a super-technical trade magazine I'd…

TIL what pegging is. Knew it happened; just didn't know that was the name.

I'm not a journalist, but I'd love to see more about the things they mention at the other schools. Might be able to show a concrete pattern that could help the case of the hazed-to-death kid.

oh gawd. I loved that guy in the before picture!

Thank you for this. As a musician who has studied an array of genres in depth, I know that borrowing from other musicians and cultures has existed since the beginning of, well, culture. I often wonder where the line between influence and appropriation lies. (It's one of those things I've always wanted "askreddit" and…

I'm with you - I find the high end stuff by him at secondhand stores and I wear the sh** out of it. My first designer suit was one of his: bought it for $35, looked it up online and it was $1200!!! It fit like it was made for me, no alterations, and the drape of the fabric made me finally understand the meaning of…

First of all: Thank you, Kate! This is by far my favorite new sub-jez.

This survey is so dumb and obviously purely for advertising. I'm not gonna waste brain space formulating questions to disprove their methods and results.

Thank you for reading my mind.

I scrolled down specifically to find this comment, which I was sure someone else had had. I kept hearing him scream, "Dammit! LIVE!!!"

Girl.* This is my life, minus the nuns. Don't think my parents read my diary until I was a teen, but they sure knew there was something wrong. Ugh, I still have the one from second grade which is, I guess, when I "found my voice," ha. Still makes my chest constrict to think about/read it.

I like your sense of humor, Marsupial.

A perfect beginning to my evening off. Thank you xp and Otherhand.

Oh wow. I stand corrected. Thank you for the link!

Yeah, and that's when those supposedly natural parental instincts should kick in, like, "ok, is my child now a commodity or are they enjoying this for themselves?" Up until the late 19th century/early 20th, people were less emotionally involved with their children, due to the high child mortality rate, so that…

Yeah, but it's a swearing in, which is clearly not a casual social situation. How many politicians even do that to their wives in public? And yes, I know lots of married people can't stand each other, but that's not the point here. I think no matter what their relationship is behind the scenes, it was very…
