You could become physically ill less if you would just, u know, not ghost.

Yeah, I’m pretty close to that. I call myself confrontational because I know that I can be blunt and matter-of-fact at times, and some people are put off by that, but I also don’t mind using a term that has negative connotations if it’s more accurate.

My first boyfriend broke up with me by ghosting. It was freshman year of college, we dated for 4 months, and I look back and shrug but at the time I was super hurt by it. But what I always wonder is - what did he think would happen? I mean, we weren’t just “hooking up” or whatever, we had had the talk and very much…

In relationships (established) or attempted relationships (dating), if the ghostee is:

I’m too confrontational by nature to do ghosting. I can see the need in certain situations—namely, hostile/volatile ones, where actual face-to-face interaction has the potential to turn violent—but in practice, I hate it. I’ve been ghosted before with no cause/reason (as in, two days prior, we were pleasantly…

How about ghosters grow a fucking pair and just relay what the problem is or that you just don’t want to date anymore? After that initial explanation you don’t have to talk any fucking more but have some fucking decency you ass wipes.

What?? No, it is way harder to be ghosted than to do the ghosting. The ghoster is in control of the scenario; the ghostee is in the ghoster’s (metaphoric) hands, running around wondering what the hell they did wrong when really the fault is that the ghoster does not know how to communicate clearly with someone or take…

Car broke down? Have a cup of tea. House on fire? Have a cup of tea. World ending? Have a cup of tea? Out of tea? Have a cup of... dammit...

I’ve changed my panties like 13 times reading Scalia’s dissent

I, too, was confused by this. Why not go to a Christian “college” and not have any scary new ideas to contend with?

I don’t know what it’s like at Dunkin’ Donuts, but at Tim Hortons that means that the cup is about half-filled with sugar before the coffee goes in. I like a little cream in my coffee (though not sugar), and roll my eyes at the people who insist that unless you take it black, you shouldn’t drink coffee—but at some…

If a guy ever asked me if I had “Daddy Issues” because he took an hour to text me back I would happily respond that my Dad always texts back quickly or apologises for the delay. That is because he is a good person who taught me that I deserve to be treated with respect.

I didn’t quite understand why he assumed she looked the same way all of the time.

Yeah, this piece just made me think that it was the therapist who couldn’t find love-he’s clearly never lived with a woman. Most women can get super dressy when going out but other times just dgaf.

What the gallery owner seems to be missing is the chasm between the artist’s *legal* obligations to credit the original work, and the artist’s *moral* obligations to credit the original work. What’s effed up about this is that the derivative work isn’t cool because of his dumb grafitti on it, it’s cool because of the…

A decade. To me this is yet another anecdote that goes into the pile of “talk therapy is a scam.” My own experience provides the bulk of the pile.

i feel like I’ve heard this kind of thing before somewhere....
