Yeah. I belong to a few sites that use it, and most end up with house rules to make it work.

yeah, I’ve been contemplating being more.. active at Wonkette, especially since Pinkham started. Right now, though, Kinja’s a little easier to use on my phone, than Disqus, and I’ve been here for YEARS (I had a star, well before the BIG kinja switch), and would feel... something. I dunno.

But he came out in favor of marriage equality in 2009, 4 years before Clinton (not decades), and is on record as opposing DOMA on procedural grounds.

I think HRC supporters are desperate to discredit him anyway they can.

Again though, that might just be my perception.

That makes sense. It just sounded classier than “the dude I made out with at a bar and then made plans to see a show, and he turned out to be an idiot.”

Ugh. I’ve bitched about people and their “preferences” to some friends, and the general response is that physical chemistry is really important and people have their “type.” What baffles me about this is that this, in my experience, has almost universally come from dudes who have very little to offer. Unless what they…

I’m 35, and my dating life has been rather shitty, despite being constantly told that I’m good looking and a “catch.” Tonight, I went to a burlesque show that one of my friends was hosting and was supposed to meet a new beau, who didn’t text me until after the show started and who proceeded to talk to me as if we had…

That just baffles me. Like you won’t be able to love a kid because you didn’t shoot him out of your pecker/tutu. Which then makes me wonder if said person would be a good parent, if they can’t love “someone else’s” kid.

I realize it’s not for everyone, but it’s like adoption doesn’t exist in America.

The gay male version of this is “I’m 45 and can pay all my bills, but I’m not ROLLING in money and guys under the age of 25, who have six packs, just make me FEEL young! I’m sorry to everyone else, but I’m only REALLY into white guys under 25, with rock hard bodies. It’s a nature thing and I’ve tried to change it, but…

I get it. Hell, it took me a LONG time to even admit that I was violated.

I would hazard a guess that since “acquaintance” or “date” rape is so prevelent and a common denominator in so many people’s lives that people want it to stop, as opposed to being explained away as not that bad.

I think a good chunk of that is that since it’s happened to SO MANY people that a lot of people are really uncomfortable calling for the jailing or castration of a shit ton of dudes out there, especially since it’d be he said, she said, and the court of public opinion might not think that the above case was rape,…

So, what word SHOULD we use? I’ve had three sexual encounters that are VERY similar to this. I froze, and just let the person do whatever they wanted hoping that it would be done, asap, and we could move on. Looking back, in at least two of them, I would say that the person violated me. The third, the guy recognized…

Ah. It was from the 70's, and there’s a lot of .. bad anime that came out of then. Though, the Japanese, apparently, ate it up.

Are you talking about the Japanese series?

Possibly. Focus on the Family has this series of radio dramas (I know! Don’t judge me! I didn’t pay for them!), and one of them is Anne of Green Gables, and I hated it, despite liking the production value, so I’m wondering if it’s a cultural thing

Her performance is the worst acting the show has ever seen.

I used to work at Starbucks and had an Irish customer get really excited when I spelled Fionnuala correctly (I also had a French customer who was impressed when I wrote Etienne, without asking, as well).
