100% THIS. Your body, your choice, get whatever cosmetic surgery you want to spend your money on.

This is such a real thing to say. There is an astonishing amount of fat transfer, implants, etc. going on right now and it’s so seldom discussed yet it is right in front of our faces everyday, wearing us down...I like that she doesn’t pretend. I also like that she is honest about why she did it.

“Non-corrupt politician”...what’s that again?

You’re obviously smart enough understand that this whole thing stinks.

NONE OF THIS is okay! Legally, ethically, or morally. Good thing that Cohen doesn’t really “practice law”, because his ability to do that is going to be curtailed. I’m certain of that. He’ll be disciplined by the NY Bar, and his ticket is going to get yanked.

GODDAMMIT

Nabakov hated women?

I also like Hemingway. Economy of language ftw. Also his thoughts on masculinity and pressure to perform it are actually very interesting.

Bukowski.

No jonathan franzen?? Maybe he doesn’t qualify as “great”.

Nothing has totally erased this. The issue is this encounter, where the woman willingly gave Aziz not one but two blowjobs, was a bad date, and now a fringe group wants to lump this in with the #metoo movement. When she finally verbalized to him she was uncomfortable, he immediately called her a cab.

Because maybe it wasn’t obvious to him.

“Why does that need to be the conversation?”

Why isn’t the conversation that men need to learn not to take advantage of people’s obvious discomfort
