Oh I’m glad I was able to help! Good luck to you! You WILL make the right decision and you’ll feel good about it! You can DO this! And if you decide to take the opportunity, don’t forget that important people will stay in your life and you will see them again! Oooo...and one more thing. You have no control of whether…

First off - love your user name. LOVE it. I totally get where you’re coming from. Here are things to think about:

I have exciting news for those who have been following my posts about being in an emotionally abusive relationship. I signed a lease for an apartment yesterday! It’s been a mix of emotions (celebration, sadness, guilt, optimism). I looked at a ton of apartments and finally found one that could feel like home. Since,…

Is he declawed? Cats often pee on clothes when it hurts to stand in litter, and this is really common among declawed cats. You can try wheat litter; that is much softer on paws. Cats will also pee outside their box if they have a UTI because they associate being in the box with pain. A trip to the vet is definitely in…

I got my cat 10 years ago and now my mom is making me give him away because he’s peeing on clothes. (I live with her). I’m really classically depressed about it and can’t get out of bed.

Pedophiles in Hollywood?! You mean the industry that took Shirley Temple to bars so much they named a drink after her and never blinked at J. D. Salinger’s 15 year old girl friend and keeps putting 12 year olds in hooker outfits in movies and music videos has a problem with pedophilia?! No fucking way!!!!

If Target is actually at least paying lip service to pushing off Christmas until after Thanksgiving good for them but they’re waging a lonely fight.

Good god, chill. The “meek protestations” of this “dross” you’re referring to are in your head; the man clearly was tormented by this experience, tried to fill the void with alcohol, and realizes that no matter what he does will never have the ability to make amends. What’s done is done. He’s one of ‘those’ people,…

I dunno. When I was growing up, it was just no means no. In the last, oh, 7 years or so is when I remember enthusiastic consent being talked about. And weird shit went down when I was in college and kind of everyone was OK with it or glossed so much of it over. I think not knowing about consent, but waiting for a no…

“Who knows, you might not even be fertile?”

“Who knows, you might not even be fertile?”

I’m confused about this advice column. Is it supposed to be bad? Am I just missing the joke?

LW 1-I’m interested in the fact that you spent more time talking about your father than about your lack of a girlfriend. And even then, the lack of girlfriend thing seemed more about how you worry that your approach will turn you into a guy like your father.

*Reads answer to LW1*

I’m of the view there’s no appropriate time to release a film like this and maybe we can stop making films that pedal the fantasy that any teenage girl would be interested in gross older guys altogether. The fantasy is entirely ONE-SIDED.

There are strong arguments that people shouldn’t breed dogs, period. Her standards may be high, and I understand that it would result in no longer having show dogs, but there is a massive overabundance of dogs who need homes. They will be euthanized if they don’t find those homes. I would encourage breeders to think…

Why not outlaw new clothing (on the off chance that it was sweatshop-made) and force everyone to shop at thrift stores?

She also gave the best speech about music piracy ever.

Are we having a spooky stories thread this year? I am itching for it!
