um

Also, star this comment if you went to Catholic school and still remember how much fucking time you'd be spending in chapel this week.

I was surprised how far not being a dick got me. Like, I would have dates where I was super awkward and there was no chemistry, and the woman would still tell me it was one of the best dates she had had because I wasn't a dick.

Here comes the lunatic fans who are going blame everyone but Clarkson. Reading the comments yesterday was disturbing.

No one threw a plate at an old man. I have a feeling you didn't do well on the reading comp portion of the SATs.

Why is every asshole's first friendly tip that we should all go to college?

This is making me think of a story that I have heard about repeatedly for my entire life. In a way, it has shaped my life, because it certainly shaped my mother's life and made her into the person she is. She had a life long best friend that was 'courted' frequently by a young man throughout high school. Her name was…

I agree that of course everyone's main concern is for themselves, my point is just that in this particular type of situation (man relentlessly pursuing a woman despite her protests) there seems to be a total lack of awareness that this person is someone with equal agency and personhood. To continue with the dazzling…

I doubt anyone will see this because it's way down in the grays, but as somebody who was, in all likelihood, not terribly dissimilar from this boy when I was in school many, many years ago, I have to say I wish this video existed back then, because this is exactly what someone like me needed to hear.

We need more parents of the "rejected" male to have this conversation with their sons.
Before they all turn into Gamergate-tards, and MRA asshats.
You don't have a "right" to go out with someone you want to boink. You don't even have the "right" to boink someone.
Turn that obsessive gaze inwards and work on what you…

I was just stating truisms that would help a teenager move on. I think in terms of loss, having someone reject you can be healed with time and self-reflection. I think that if there are soul mates we absolutely have more than one (because if we had one and they lived in Alaska and we didn't we might never meet them)…

Some of us need to drink to make being around people like you tolerable.

Reminds me of a joke I like telling Harvard students when I'm near campus:

I don't know how much of a douche Tyler is beyond complaining about a lack of parties in a dorm, but I get the sense that the guy that wrote this e-mail is way douchier.

I'm guessing "someone like this" means "someone this fucking stupid"

No one is offended by the concept but, speaking for myself, I'm offended that anyone is taking this 'plan' seriously. Mars One is an attempt to get a reality TV show deal - they do not have the money, resources, money, know-how, money, willingness, or money to launch anyone towards Mars.

Eh, we don't know how nasty or persistent the parents have been. I think we put a little too much value in always handling awful people's feelings with kid gloves. At some point, if you* didn't take the graceful exit given to you by "actually, I don't want to talk about this", then you have to deal with the anger and…

I'm really glad I like my parents.
