It’s not every movie, asshole. You don’t have to fucking watch this category. For fuck’s sake

I like the lights, the songs,the cookies, and the candles with “holiday” scents. I don’t mind giving gifts if it were just one small gift. I’m good with moving the holiday to January or February. Let’s put lights up at the solstice and keep them up til the equinox. And make it inclusive so that no one feels left…

I agree 100%.

Excellent point and all things I should have thought of. It just seems like in all the other reports, the allegations were made public almost immediately. I’m suspicious of everyone right now. And I trust no one. Kidding...kind of.

I wish they would give more details on the inappropriate behavior - was it a lewd comment, groping, rape? Do they only have one accusation or are there multiple accusations? I feel like any way I try to explain this I will be called an apologist. Inappropriate behavior is just so vague; and extremely subjective. …

I did too. I had focused on the “1 day after...” bit. Almost every headline reads that way though. I think it makes the firing sound fishy, including that in the headline. But, they want those clicks, so...

I agree. I wish my family also agreed. I decided to make the 5 hour drive tomorrow morning, so I would much rather not leave at 5am (one hour time difference).

I happily provide the booze and imminent diabetes for my Thanksgiving. Even the imminent diabetes contains booze - Kentucky Derby pie.

The Metra has a stop in Ravenswood (it’s been renovated and is really nice now). It’s 12 minutes from there to the Loop. I used to take it and it was fantastic. Now, I live too far west to make it worthwhile.

I tried it to brush up on French - took it for 4 years in high school and a year in college. It was great for vocab, but it sucked for conjugation. It was too haphazard for me. Plus, I need to write stuff down in order to remember anything. I’m old.

There are clear guidelines - pretend all colleagues are the same, no matter their genitalia! How fucking hard is that? It’s not at all.

This is fucking ridiculous. If you can’t be alone with a colleague who is a woman, then maybe you shouldn’t be out in the workforce. I mean, how do you even go out in public, there are SO many women! What if you’re in an elevator and a woman gets on - do you get off of it? Yeah, there are gray areas, but it isn’t…

Maybe I need to ascribe to this thought process. It might help some of the irrational anger I feel over the word “whilst.” It wouldn’t be totally out of character for me either - I have described the pastiness of my skin by saying I look like a consumptive operatic heroine.

I even do that in text messages. I also refuse to abbreviate when texting. God, I must annoy people just as much as people who use “whilst” annoy me.

Oh yes, totally correct. I just hate it. I don’t know why I hate it so much. I have stopped reading things when authors just keep using it.

When British people use it I have less of a negative reaction. Just a slight rolling of the eyes. It’s when Americans use it...it just reminds me of how Madonna’s not-British, but trying to sound pretentious AF, accent when she married Guy Ritchie. My eyes full on roll out of my head.

Eh, moist is okay I guess. Using “whilst” makes a person sound pretentious. Just use “while.”

I 100% agree. Definitely analyze your behavior and maybe see a therapist. Maybe that was the tip of the iceberg, or maybe it was a one off.

Gloat on, and revel in your righteousness. It’s an attractive look on you.
