There are legitimate reasons not to idolize Serena Williams.

That really bugs me. It’s like when people think that introverts really just need help coming out of their shell instead of recognizing that they might be perfectly happy just being left alone. Introverts are not required to cater to extrovert whims, and being in close proximity to me doesn’t mean I automatically owe…
Why, though? Maybe he’s like me and hates small talk. I’m not good at it, I don’t enjoy it, and whenever someone engages me in it, I want it to end as soon as possible. I’m perfectly content to be left alone, and I hate this notion that it’s rude for me not to sate another person’s need to talk.
It’s so weird. You’re owed attraction now? Owed a stranger’s attention because you’re fascinated with them?
Even if that is an accurate assessment of the situation, even if that is what he was thinking and Lena could read his mind, it would not be OK for various reasons. Yeah, so he doesn’t want to make polite conversation with a stranger he isn’t attracted to? And so? He has every right to approach things that way and it’s…
Maybe I’m insane, which ... sure, but I don’t think in terms of sex or attraction with every single person I meet/see/sit next too. Nor whether they’re interested or otherwise.
You know what’s funny is that you are putting the onus of starting a conversation solely on Mr. Beckham. Did it ever occur to you that Ms. Dunham could have simply started a conversation with Mr. Beckham rather than pretend that she could read his mind?
Interesting. Switch the pronouns, and you have a classic Nice Guy (TM). “Who just assumes that a random girl doesn’t want them because she’s minding her own business”
Maybe it’s not normal behavior to you, but I talk and laugh to myself all the time. I don’t use a British accent, no, but only because mine SUCKS.
That or he just liked silent women with giant racks.
I heard something from Aimee Mann that I really liked, along the lines of “people are entitled to dislike you, and their reason why is none of your business.” Maybe a person is shallow and only talks to models; maybe you have an uncanny resemblance to someone who bullied him/her as a kid. As long as someone isn’t…
The comments so far are just so bizarre. If this actually happened like the plaintiff purports in the lawsuit, then the situation is fucked up and needs to be addressed. You have a culture where someone can shout an accusation on twitter and fuck up your life just like that. And even after being found innocent…
As somebody who works at a restaurant, we had to disable the alarm portion of our emergency exit because people were constantly either accidentally or purposely going out through it. At a movie theater that would be untenable. It would interrupt movies every single night.
This whole thing just sucks so hard. I can see no reason why it would be rational to sue the theater. Yeah, maybe if they had airport level security the attack would have been prevented, but who wants that? Seriously, that is entirely unreasonable. My heart hurts for all the survivors in this case. They were looking…
I don’t think it’s legitimate to complain that a third party who wasn’t responsible for the tragedy didn’t offer enough money to its victims. I really don’t want to live in a world in which private businesses are required to maintain the degree of security that would be necessary to make an event like this impossible.…
She should have taken the deal since that was all she was ever going to get. She really fucked it up for the rest of the other people.
They offered then a pretty good settlement considering they were found not liable already and were clearly not at fault. And the plaintiffs didn’t take it.
I too find myself uncomfortable with this state of affairs. My objections come from my discomfort with a sentiment that seems to reject the notion that these cases (as should be for all criminal cases) should be judged on their individual merits. You can see it in the phrase “believe the victims” even in cases where…
For Hope Solo, I wouldn’t be surprised if “Club Season” involved baby seals.
