My super sweet kind empathic 1st grade teacher somehow ended up with a anarchist-libertarian-shoot-anyone-causing-issues-navy-seal.

Ick. As a reason for having a kid, that pretty much ranks right up there with “because we’d have such pretty babies!” It also shows a total misunderstanding of the nature of parenting, which is to give 800,000% of yourself while generally getting very little back (the cuddles are nice). If you can’t at least go into…

If he'd been literally anything else other than white, we would have gotten his arrest record and mental health history complete with "a history of violence."

Rita and Tom were two of the first public faces of Covid; we were all grateful that they both had relatively mild cases, but apparently their good fortune had some sort of weird side effect on their son, who seems to have suffered the brain damage that they avoided.

Nope. Her modesty talk/slut shaming during MeToo makes her a dumpster fire pairing with the “no preggo models” guy.

Really? No mention that she’s using her neuroscience degree to push snake oil caffeine pills to unlock your brain power, or has had a bad history of anti-vaxx sentiments?

She’s not a great choice either. 

LaVar Burton was robbed! He’s perfect for that role.

Ross was a terrible, awful person, friend, and boyfriend. His controlling, insecure attitude was disguised as “cute.”

That is a LOT. So so glad your sweet kitty is doing ok!!!

The issue I’ve seen is that if there is a grey that’s “below the fold” so to speak-beyond that 5-comment limit- then there’s no way to get to it to star it or dismiss it or whatever.

Yeah, I can’t get into my pending comments to dismiss a grey twerp replying to me. The system is absolutely borked.

I only read the good ones where the heroine has a real mouth on her and they totally bone before shacking up.

I’m very confused by the people who think you should break up with him over this. When I’m over at my boyfriend’s I’ll pick weird videos and go “I can’t wait to see what this does to your YouTube algorithm” and it sounds like your situation is even more subtle than that....I hardly think that is anything egregious.

When Trader Joe’s opened in Wilmington, they had this ginger cake that was flamazing, and then they never had it again. I kept going to the store specifically to look for it and then finally asked after a year or two. It was just a one time thing.

I am a food server, and I never even approach the customers or my co-workers personal space without letting them know first. I’m going to set this here, take that from there, behind you, etc. It’s great you are acknowledging their body autonomy. I think knowing what’s coming probably makes it less scary for them than…

“Black and white, young and old, straight and LGBTQ...friends, strangers, people I meet on the street.”

Fortunately, I am English and was privately educated. This has had the immense benefit of making me utterly repressed, such that I would never consider touching someone with whom I am not intimate. Nor do I desire others to touch me. Ever. Problem solved!
