My husband and I are currently experiencing harassment via VoIP numbers similar to what this mother used to send the deepfake videos. A man who worked with my husband for a month made a pass at my husband who told him he wasn’t interested and happily married. The former co-worker has since developed an obsession with…

When women stand up for themselves it’s labelled “you have a bad attitude”, “why can’t you just get along with everyone”, “we don’t want to upset that person, so whatever they did to you, just take it”.

You sound like my best friend (we’re both angry at the same toxic gaslighting person). What’s even more scary is that you mentioned Chicago.

Yeah. Saw the part where she says an ex stole her cat...sorta had me wonder if the ex was just a good person who felt the cat was not getting good care in that home. 

It's also well known that people who are abusive to animals (and abandonment is abusive) are often on that well worn path to abusing people. I cannot and will not be friends with those who abuse animals because of it. 

I had a bunch of toxic friendships when I was young. These friendships are generally built on faulty, co-dependent foundations. I think the author alludes to this, but excuses this based on “past trauma” the toxic friend experienced. In my case, looking back, the toxic friends were emotional vampires, who would cause…

I know this all too well. My best friend, for the last 34 years is exactly the person you described. High school was so much fun, but then, “It” started around college, when it was me just rolling my eyes at some of the guys she would date, or the fact she was going to parties on random days during the week and…

This. Loyalty doesn’t mean not challenging dumb or destructive things you do or want to do.
Anyone who would dump a dog in a field would, I sense, metaphorically dump their friend in a field as well.

You could have stopped at “abandoned her dog in a field because it was annoying”, anyone that does that has serious psychological issues and needs to seek professional therapy and likely medication. That’s such a far cry from can’t handle a pet and surrendering to a shelter which is almost as shitty, but I wouldn’t…

It’ll make it easier for the FBI to give them the same treatment they gave to the Branch Davidians.

I believe the correct term is “Dacha.”

They are very clearly trying to create a property they can rent out either as an AirBnB or a regular BnB-- at least, that was my initial thought. Why else would you make a general store if it wasn’t some sort of vacation retreat property for commercial guests? 

Pretty sure this is going to be the new Jonestown.

It’s tennis, but on a tiny little court so one doesn’t have to run around like some filthy commoner. 

I support this plan. These rich enclaves just give us a crystal-clear direction to send the pitchforks. Also, is it me or is Jared failing at even the basic human act of carrying a child? He must have gone to the Arizona State of Human Impersonation schools on Neptune. 

New scam: “Trump Feminist Self-Help Empowerment Seminar Camp School! Now With More Architecture For Better Architecting!”

I think actually a big part of the issue is this idea that the “affluent” are not powerless and voiceless.

Western culture also places a premium on martyrdom and suffering, which must play heavily into this kind of thinking—especially within the wellness community, with its strong links to a vaguely defined “spirituality.”

I think you may have stumbled onto something. Since white people are getting a little heat for their behaviors, these people are trying to deflect by saying, “No, the REAL evil is this group of people. I can root it out and save us all!”
