It’s not even that much less scary from where we are, though: America sneezes, Canada catches a cold. And we tend to follow them politically. Reagan —> Mulroney, Clinton —> Chrétien, Bush —> Harper, Obama —> Trudeau. 

I don’t recall ever using that moniker. For anyone. 

Yeah, Daddy is about the last thing I want to think about when sex/sexual attraction is involved.
*shudder* (think Ivanka/her daddy) 

Ya, me too.  Also my somewhat strained relationships with my dad means no man is getting called daddy by me.  I can’t get behind that one at all.

No doubt your experience is valid, but how old are you? Kamala’s in her 50's (as am I) and I can tell you from bitter experience that the feet become much less resilient as age and gravity take their toll.   My arches aren’t especially high, and my feet would be decimated by a three-mile Chuck stroll.

I’d also…

I can’t call anyone daddy in any context, so I’m somehow unbothered by this one.  I’m pretty happy I have yet to have this requested of me lol

People who call other people “daddy” when they find them attractive skeeve me the fuck out and raises concerning red flags.

K... but she also molested young girls along side Epstein. Why are you excusing that as a psychological proclivity? It’s a deed. He molested girls. She molested girls. Often times together!

I agreed to the extent that I don’t think there should be a rush to judgement. What I disagree about it is that there are no girls being harmed anymore. I find that highly doubtful.

I’m pretty sure they’re trying to expedite her appearance because the last guy they apprehended connected to this “committed suicide” in jail while he was mysteriously left unsupervised.

No underage girls are being harmed anymore.

Maxwell allegedly helped recruit and groom underage girls.

I agree to an extent except that these girls were trafficked to people that are still out and walking free. Do you think the only underage girls these people have done this to were connected to Epstein?  I highly doubt it.  There are more predators out there.

Sing at the top of your lungs lady! Let’s see how many dominoes go down. I’m dressed and prepped for a full on schadenfrued buffet! This is gonna be good.

As someone online wrote: it’s a shame we don’t know what happened in Germany in the 1940s because all the monuments are gone”

And “work friends” are usually different from “personal friends,” such that this group focuses on the simplistic banter as a way of bonding broadly not deeply.

I always recommend starting with an honest evaluation of yourself. You are coming across as a little Cool Girlish, and there is the risk that your coworkers feel that you are judging them as “less than.” I mean, this:

I’m quite introverted and have a pretty small circle as well. I just started meeting new people that I enjoy talking with by joining a pottery studio. I didn’t go there planning to make friends, but it worked out that there are people there that I quite enjoy talking with. Or did, prior to shutdown.

I think you need a new group of people to hang out with; it sounds like you all just have very different interests. I’m fortunate to work with women who have a broad range of interests, and even though I’m actually older than one co-worker’s parents (!), we can talk about art, politics and other topics very…
