No. Specially at 18, when she started dating him.
I’m an old now and can smell all kinds of bullshit and really subtle controlling tendencies after a life of dating and meeting all kinds of people. But at 18, I think most of us who avoided controlling and violent relationships just got lucky.

I don’t know the details of the transaction, but if Cher put half the money, and the company that sell the bottles put half the money, they’re actually making a profit, even if they give it at a wholesale price. Right? I hope I’m wrong, but I think you can keep hating on bottled water.

Seems like a joke.

Something that happened to me was that since I was the strong one in the relationship, I’d fight his battles. I’d confront people for him all the time. And when the relationship ended, guess who was the confrontational asshole?

I read Jezebel, I even read the story of some kid who guessed that name on Twitter months ago and still had no idea what “Saint West” was when I saw the headline (assumed it was a famous band I should know). Sometimes things make no sense out of context.

Yeah, I thought local stores would lend them dresses in order to have their brand name appear at the end of the transmission or something. But maybe I just saw that on a local channel a million years ago and assumed that happened all the time all over the world.

The quoted box was written on a later e-mail.

DSAfadsfadsf. I’m in Germany and it’s blocked here. Tried Dailymotion and installing different blockers but nothing works. Any advice? I *need* to watch it!

This made me think about the Weezer joke by Hari Kondabolu.

Lindy West wrote about hipster racism on this same site YEARS AGO!!!

Yes.
I think it’s the normal-abnormal thing. If there was petite - medium - plus or some other different set of categories, it’d make sense, but it’s the “model” and “big model” thing that otherises them.

Hahahahahaha. Dude...

Not only did they think they were “god’s fucking gift to women”, they were also delusional enough to assume women wanted something serious with them (“She caught serious feelings for me but we navigated it”). Zzzzz.
I’ve had this happened to me with guys I’ve literally called “dude” and “fuck buddy” and whom I’ve…

Haha. But there are plenty of immature grown up women to choose from. :)

Exactly!

I’m in my 30s in if some guy I like starts his “looking for” age range too low, he immediately goes to the hidden profile pile. I have this idea that they’re into manipulating people or treating their partners like infants and that’s fucking creepy.

I don’t know what Crowbar meant exactly, but I think it’s similar to this joke:

I liked how Cruz picked Rosa Parks because she “helped remedy racial injustice.” So apparently that problem was fixed more than half a century ago.

Still, she panicked enough to only kick an older man with a kid and bags on his hands, and two tweens, but somehow wasn’t afraid enough of men who could have pushed back. How convenient!

Of course that colonisers would ignore the problems with colonialism. And kids love Zwarte Piet!
