That’s where I was going with my statement. People have this notion that someone “IS” one thing for all time, when in reality people shift and change at a moments notice. Identity isn’t real. Even our memory is faulty. Nothing can truly be trusted except for what is in front of us. So when I talk about the people I…

Right. Exactly what I was trying to say. People are refuting me by saying: “No, they were just bi all along and didn’t know it.” That kind of thinking takes the agency out of the person experiencing it and forces a concept in linearity onto identity that doesn't exist. Like, I was a punk rocker when I was in high…

Shhhh. Don't let the bigots hear that!

Total bullshit. Though I do think there’s a rigidity to the “Born this way” narrative, for idiots like this pastor and the cruelty of her parents, it’s best for them to just let it sink into their thick skulls that sexual orientation is a trait in the same way eye color is - inherent and immutable.

True. I had a similar experience with it. I just felt that I was living and reliving my victimhood each time I went. Everyone else in the rooms were too. “I did this because my daddy did that” again and again and again. And lots and lots of crying. I think I just got tired of being a victim. I should say that I went…

That’s not entirely fair. I don’t like the 12-steps, but I understand why there’s an appeal to FAITH.

It’s not that AA doesn’t work... It’s that the rational of always thinking of yourself as someone branded an addict who always needs to avoid is problematic. If it works its because people find a new community where they are loved and accepted without curing social alienation with substances. All the research coming…

Trump doesn’t even practice Trump speeches.

Trump - on the same cognitive level as a 9-year-old.

I don’t know how you young people do it. Unfortunately, I’m forced into your world and so I have to ask the same inane questions - are you fucking people other than me, do you want to fuck only me, how many J-dates can I juggle at the same time. Y’all make me depressed.

I know, I heard the same thing he did... I even listened to her own upload of it on Youtube turned up to the max to see why he got all teary. He clearly was experiencing something I wasn’t. I thought the girl with the hiphop track was more powerful, but what do I know.

I was in dance classes as a kid and this is the first I’ve ever heard of it. I wonder how far back this “tradition” goes. I would have been in dance classes in the ‘80s.

I'm American and this is the first I've ever heard of it. Maybe it's something new? I'm almost 40, though. Maybe it's something that started more recently

“Becky”?

People should say hello and at least be polite. This is not a hotel. I am not as pissed with this fellow as I was when I wrote this (obvi), but it became one of my criteria: “be polite, be comfortable around other people, we’re living together in this big nasty city, we might as well get along,” and I found a great…
