Only an incel would think John Waters is an incel. 

Yes, John Waters the long known incel...have you ever SEEN a John Waters film or look at the rest of his list?

Has there been a culling of commenters or are less people just commenting because they writing here has been sliding to trash over the past couple of months after all the good writers left?

I think a lot of the disconnect here is between people who are the friend that often gets unloaded on, and people who are not. I am the type of person that people trust with their problems. I feel honoured by that and I want to always live up to that trust — but sometimes I can’t. If I’ve got 5 people telling me all…

For me, it’s more like “Damn, that’s super shitty. I wish I was in a better headspace to help you, but I’m already in The Bad Place and can barely keep myself functioning. Can we talk when I have some energy and can really focus on you? I love you and am so sorry that everything sucks.”

IDK. Tweak the script as needed? I mean, for non-NT people and people dealing with their own trauma and their own shit, having a script can be handy, and it’s stressful enough to say no when you can’t/don’t want to discuss what’s going on with you with the person reaching out. I really feel like some of us can’t win…

This, so much this.

I think it’s also important to remember that 10-12 years ago, no one was available for constant texting, Facebook messaging, or video chatting. We’re now all suddenly supposed to be expected to drop everything for anyone the moment they reach out through any channel (and there are many!).

I came here to say this. Many of my friends suffer from anxiety, depression, dating problems etc. And as a friend I always want to listen to them. But I also have those same issues, and sometimes I can’t handle dealing with it. Being low on spoons takes a toll.

That’s not the point at all. It’s that all of us are already carrying a certain amount of emotional burden on any given day. There is nothing narcissistic to recognize their are moments in which we don’t have the bandwidth to safely carry other people’s.

Yeah, you’re completely wrong. Sorry you don’t understand raising children with issues but I’ve quite literally been dealing with this since I was 3 years old and you’re simply crass.

“His justification reminds me of Thomas Middleditch, who recently outed himself as someone who coerced his wife into an open marriage.”

Demi Moore made a huge impact on me when I was younger, and I always felt she was under-appreciated as an actress, and the impact she made in pop culture in the 90's with the choices she made.

erh while I can see how what they said can be interpreted that way the language they used was far better. It puts a lot less pressure/responsibility on those coming forward and a lot more on Twohey and Kantor. 

.... He did it again on a show that aired like 2 days ago...

I know the use of the word “karma” has been appropriated and subsequently misused by Western society, but its origins might help clarify the actual context. Try this:

When I first saw that Jeep commercial, I assumed that Jeremey Renner was intrigued by the girl in the Jeep and was intimating to his bandmates, “catch up with you later, suckers, the Ren-dog is gonna fuck.”

I’m looking forward to finding out which quote from this upcoming film will be appropriated by a new generation of right-wing assholes to indicate their awareness of how the world, like, really works, maaaan.

Except there’s 10 and we wrote about the 3 best and 3 worst.
