a massive report on Nxivm, the “self-improvement company”/thinly veiled pyramid scheme/cult lead by Keith Raniere.

Abien Walrus? Any thoughts?

Ambien is the original Red Pill.

Filming has wrapped and she’s already engaged so his IG stuff wasn’t known during filming.

I know. Normally, I’m against shaming people based on looks, but it’s not his face, it’s his expression 

She’s already chosen and is engaged. Want to take a stab at who she picked?

This dude is an alt-right douchebag?

Whoa......I never would have imagined THAT guy is a total fuckin’ dickhole.

If you haven’t read it already, the full profile is truly something to behold. The producers apparently told him everyone would see that he was being respectful to her and honest about his feelings if he let them film it, and then see how happy he and Lauren are together and be happy for him. Your assessment of…

Kalief Browder’s story is a nightmare. Good on Annabella Sciorra for tying together the strings of racism, sexism and classism that hold up our (in)justice system.

I was naturally good enough at school that I didn’t really need to work at it, which lead to all sorts of less than desirable things, but mainly it meant that I didn’t learn the value of hard work. Because I didn’t have to work hard to get good grades. Which means that learning new things is really frustrating because…

I think you would be surprised by how little sex people are having and how many people haven’t been kissed or had sex at your age. But, like you, they probably don’t want to broadcast it, because we have these shitty messages that not having done these things means something. It only means you haven’t done these…

I don’t really have any hobbies, my schedule during the school year doesn’t really leave room for that. I’m honestly not even sure where to start with that I am just feeling very empty right now. I also have trouble picking things up because I get really (irrationally) frustrated when I am not able to be good at it…

I’m so glad this thread is here. I feel so much of this stuff and I feel we all have our own experiences with it that we can share our perspective from.

Already posted a response so sorry for another long one, but when I was young (HS/college) I also was hung up on not being the kind of pretty that would earn me instant romantic attention. The vast majority of novels/TV shows/movies take good looks as a predicate for just about everything, at least for female…

You’re really just starting out in life, it’s way too early to decide x thing will never happen for you. (1) One thing I wish someone had told me at your age is that leaving college can be very scary and sad, because you’ve been in an educational environment for your entire life, and suddenly you’re out in the world.…

So I graduated college today so lots of mixed emotions about leaving my college, missing friends and acquaintances, and no longer seeing certain people like my crush. I’m really worried that I am never going to see any of my friends again and that I am going to end up all alone. Graduation itself was so long yet so…

I second this. My mother used to insist on steaming with chamomile because it’s so soothing, along with being anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory. Once a week we’d fill big bowls with boiling water and chamomile flowers, stick our heads over said bowls, drape towels over ourselves and stay like that until we could no…

Thursday was Duckling’s high school graduation. I got a bit teary-eyed here and there (especially when we went to her old elementary school to do a walk down the halls), but didn’t break down until the end of the night, when I got a text message...
