I don’t know. I’m sure if I were a multibillionare I’d change my tune, but I’d try not to actually live like one. At least not in outward extravagance. Maybe I’d shop a lot more. But a mid-size home, being able to pay all my bills in full on time, home renos, able to take a nice trip at least once a year... that…

I don’t know that the cat one is so horrid. A visit from an animal can be emotionally meaningful in the same way a visit from a person can, and flying on a jet probably isn’t as stressful to the animal as commercial flight would be. My only question would be why the humans can’t fly to London as well.

Inspirational quotes are offshoots of the self-help culture. If you’re already feeling great they might be annoying but I think they’re sweet, like when your mom put a note in your lunch bag..

Sexism yes, but you also have to wonder who else at Netflix is connected to the Xenu Mafia who is protecting Masterson.

Yikes. I...might have to rethink whether I need Netflix in my life. I knew they hadn’t done anything about him, but I didn’t realize how committed they were to protecting him. And...why? He can’t be that important...

I’d definitely watch a Nanny reboot, but it won’t be the same without Yetta.

I hope she took the dog.

Keanu Reeves.

People like Weinstein, Toback, and Weiseltier know what they did is wrong. That’s part of the reason they do it. They know that it makes people uncomfortable and they get a thrill from it. And Mark Halperin too; you don’t fucking rub your erection against 8 women and somehow think that’s okay. You do it because you…

I used to live in a hippy-dippy community where people talked a lot about how important it was to “not hold onto anger”, about how forgiveness made you lighter and happier. After I got out of an abusive relationship with a terrible, violent man, wishing bad things upon him was what made me feel better, and it still…

Even better.

Oh, no. I’m so sorry you’re still going through that. I had an ex who would threaten suicide, and by the end, my response was, “Okay, but don’t think I’m going to stand here and cry over it.” Sometimes I still wish he had.

My rapist, pet murdering ex killed himself after stalking me for seven years and getting arrested for beating another of his exes.

Yes. YES. So much yes. The number of times I have heard how you should forgive your abusers, because only then can you move past the anger, blah blah blah. As though the anger is a bad thing, rather than a justifiable consequence of what was done to you. What they mean is “your anger makes me uncomfortable”.

Countless suicide threats can be a form of abuse.

I try not to dismiss someone’s statements because they have an “axe to grind”. Something happened to that person and I’d like to judge if I would have an axe to grind in their shoes. I’m sure that I get referred to as the crazy ex-bitch, but there was a fuck-ton of abuse that made me crazy and a bitch. I didn’t get…

I agree it comes down to values as to how the kids choose to live their lives and how they look upon others, but the other issue here is the kids’ relationship to money. As a upper middle class WASP, we did not talk about money, though I knew we were privileged and the exception rather than the rule. As a child of…

Agreed. One of the wealthiest heiresses in America is Julia Louis-Dreyfus. She went to college, married her sweetheart, did improv, basically started from the bottom and built her own incredible career (SNL, Seinfeld, Veep, etc.) and fortune. She also has a fabulous reputation as a human being and you never, ever see…
