I guess that's not really a thing over here in Britain-land. I've literally never seen or heard of someone leaving a dog outside un-caged and unattended, let alone of one being seriously hurt by a cat. Are these cats suicidal or something?

Really, people who walk their cats have a problem with them being attacked and being unable to protect their pets? That's a thing?

But who's animals are they attacking? presumably it's only the ones belonging to people who let them outdoors unattended.

Does anyone know how practical it is to put a collar with a bell on an outdoor cat? I want an outdoor cat but I'm sensitive to bird populations being hurt, so this seems like a good compromise. I'm just worried about the cat getting caught on branches or getting their leg stuck through it, or if I'll have to replace…

OK, using the absurdity simply as a coping mechanism and as a vehicle for all the more universal jokes does kinda make sense to me.

I'm a little ashamed to admit I'm having trouble decoding this. I found a lot of it funny, but I don't really understand it. So by portraying her relationship with her rapist as a romantic comedy she's...what? Saying that that's how other people expect her to act? Saying that's how she wishes she could treat it? I…

Yeah, I think the romcom schtick might have worked better if the guy was like Ashton Kutcher. But then I used to look a lot like this guy and still kinda do. And it wasn't because I was a predator (pretty much the opposite actually).

Fuck. I remember playing a little web game about trying to balance a budget on minimum wage on the US. It was pretty much exactly as you describe, except they left out the whole jail angle which makes it even worse.

You can get to groupthink by clicking on the three bars on the top left from any Jezebel page. You can either hang around till a mod gives you posting privileges or go on a topic by someone who has them and ask if they'll promote a comment on it to the main page. I don't have posting privileges so I can't do it…

Yeah, I saw another user's clarification of what that was, it didn't really make sense to me first time round.

Sure, but I thought you could decline treatment if you didn't want to pay. I guess I shouldn't be shocked, but the idea of being charged for treatment I received against my will makes me so angry.

IIRC there have been a few male victims of this but the shame and blackmail comes from the threat of being outed/perceived as gay. So it's still the patriarchy at work.

The interesting thing will be seeing what happens if she wants to do something outside the adult industry. Since most trans people find the word "shemale" offensive, yet all her pornos have that word in the title, it makes me wonder how in control of her own situation she really is.

Wikipedia has an entry on someone named Bailey Jay, but doesn't mention anything about her being active on 4chan, just that they posted a video of her. Care to elaborate?

"she was involuntarily committed to a psych ward for a month — racking up a $31,000 bill in the process"

Someone else gave some advice here about considering whether the relationship is the most important thing to him. Whether it's his priority. How much is he going to sacrifice to make this work? If she wants to join the peace-corps, or do a PHD in Europe for umpteen years, what's he going to sacrifice in his (I'm…

A lot of people discuss their mental health issues over on Groupthink, including at least one person who is bipolar. It's a pretty safe space as long as you keep your cool, though even then the worst possibility is being banned, not being dogpiled or trolled.

Have a look around over on Groupthink (click the three little bars on the top right). People post stories about street harrassment and standing up to this stuff pretty often. I think the important thing to remember is that even if you do something small (like telling a guy to fuck off) that's still much more than most…

The only advice that kinda-sorta worked for me in terms of getting over a crush on a friend was to think of them as your sibling. Try of reframe them in your mind as someone you have affection for but it's not sexual/physical. It's pretty weird at first but it takes that intense edge off things and half the time you…

Come back and do an anonymous post on Groupthink about the insanity/shennanigans of reality TV. Jezebel is so obsessed with it I'm sure people would eat it up.
