hey i know you wrote a bunch and i’m sure a lot of it is smart analysis but if you put ‘over-amped sjw’ in the first sentence, even if you’re right, it makes you look like a dink.

Or the fact that it’s still 90+ fucking degrees in many places.

That message is incredibly obnoxious. You don’t know why they’re there instead of outside. There are any number of reasons why people choose to work out in a gym instead of outdoors, like disabilities or illnesses or just plain preference. 

Maybe another reason he won’t face backlash for this is because he didn’t attack the women accusing him, silently (after initial statement) waited for the investigation of his employer(s) to clear his name, and then we all moved on because we believed those women until his name was cleared and now we’re allowed to…

feeling cautiously optimistic about that i can still be a fan and that he really was telling the truth, given that investigations by the museum and two networks cleared him of wrongdoing.

Yeah, it was a poor decision. But why do I get the sense you feel some glee over it?

Tbh I think all of these replies are fear-based, in the same way most “it could never happen to me!” responses are. There are all kinds of reasonable scenarios where something shitty like this can happen.

Hello fellow 80-lb greyhound guardian! I too have 80 lb greyhounds, 3 now, six total over the years (I love my big greyhound boys), plus innumerable foster dogs. I used to be smug like you but then I got a pair of spooky rescued racing greyhounds from Ireland that broke all my expectations. Wait until you meet your…

You’re an idiot. 

Kanye west is a garbage dumpster. Please cry a river for his millions of dollars. He’s fine. 

People here just hate her so they will excuse what was done to her, if it was someone they liked they would be outraged about the violation

She could be 1000% in the right and you people would find a reason to shit on her 

That is not at all what the song or video is about, and all the ways Jezebel stretches and flat out makes up things just to hate on Swift is getting way out of hand. And sidenote: if that is what the song was really about, would all those LGBTQ icons be in the video? You think they wouldn’t see that a mile away?

I get the conflicted feelings Celeste and Bonnie have. Bonnie because no matter how terrible a person Perry is empirically, she did kill a fellow human being. That’s gotta stay with you, especially if you can’t talk about it to another living soul.

Until you remember that he said he wanted to die in the arms of the woman he loved. That’s exactly what happened, so he did get some good out of it.

Lifehacker should do a post or series of posts on how to plan for long term singleness. I’m about to turn 32, so this is like starting to get more and more pertinent for me.

All this! I just keep telling myself they are a smug asshole right now. But, in a few years the kids are going to have lives of their own, hanging out with their friends, etc. And, this poster and their spouse are going to realize that they have no friends or hobbies, because they weren’t willing to put in the least…

You’re coming off like a smug asshole all over this comment thread so I’ll just reply to this one.

Thank you for writing this. I have been single for five years now, and only started caring more about it since last fall. I was very busy with grad school and work for two years, then focused hard on my career and only occasionally dated, and I didn’t have romantic interest in anyone in my social circle or interests.…

Yes, but I don't think you graduated with essentially a debt equivalent to owning a house. This from a baby boomer.
