There is a theory that Cal is Dr. Manhattan? Based on what? Serious question.

Having a google alert for yourself isn’t inherently wrong. But when having a google alert about yourself leads a person - in this case a best-selling author - to pick a fight picking a fight with a college student over a quote in a publication no one would otherwise know about, that is a bad thing.  It led her to…

Damn.  That’s even sadder.

Yes.

Sounds like she has a google alert for her damn self.

Thank you for taking the time to post this! This is exactly what I was looking for. Gleaning what I can from your post and others in this thread, I’m starting to get the picture. The idea of separating the art from the artist, the belief that the primary allegation against him is rooted in American Puritanical hysteria…

Lots of Americans and Brits have supported him over the years and certainly supporting rapists is something in both the U.S. and U.K. However, he hasn’t had a production involving Americans or Brits since 2011. So, while they might support him privately, they’re not caping for him in public.  Meanwhile, he’s continued…

Jesus Christ. I hadn’t heard Marianne Barnard’s story until now. That was two years ago and here we are again.  Like, I get why this nasty old fuck is still shambling about due to statute of limitations, but why isn’t his shit considered toxic waste? Anyone have any insight into the French perception of the…

All of this horrible, but none of it is shocking. There are good programs out there, but disordered eating is incredibly common among elite athletes. It’s changed somewhat over the years as science starting bearing out that training in a starved state is not optimal (you would think this would be common sense, but…

This sounds like a headline from a newspaper published in the world, not as it is, but as it should be.

Yeah, this may have everything to do with IG and FB being uncool with vaginas but it has the neat side effect of preventing women from being bombarded by ads for nonsense that is, at best, completely unnecessary and, at worst, legitimately harmful to their health.

Jesus. “Overbearing” is putting is really mildly.

You are incredibly kind and patient to have written out this thought experiment. The guy you’re responding to is being a willfully obtuse troll.

I recently noticed the same thing re: Courtney Cox. However, I don’t think I noticed it at the time because, looking back, she wasn’t anywhere near the most extreme example of what was considered the ideal body in the late 90s-early 2000s

Gosh, I’m shocked that a guy who said cunt was his favorite curse word would be an abusive asshole.

Click the heart icon.  By default it is set on the likes, comments, follows you’ve gotten recently.  At the top of the screen, click “Following” and you’ll see what the people you follow have been liking, following and commenting on.

Seconding that most people have no clue it exists. I just can’t imagine the dudes I know who have accounts that are super heavy on images of their wholesome-as-fuck families would be liking booty pics all the livelong day if they knew it was being broadcast.

Yeah, those are all things. One of the biggest pet peeves of people who use IG to make money or build followings is the idea of people repeatedly* viewing their content and then not following and/or not liking. Apparently it tanks their engagement(?) score or some other metric that companies look at when deciding…

I don’t much care about Duritz’s new look, but it was weird that he had dreads to begin with, so I guess I’ll consider this an improvement?
