Focusing everything around booze creates a huge barrier to recovering addicts, religious abstainers, and voluntary non-drinkers.

Yeah, I’d like you to break down for me how you interpreted this to mean that women only wear makeup because they have low self esteem:

I had a huge crush on Depp way back in the day. I’ve skipped most of his movies over the past ten years, but I never stopped liking him as a performer. What I’m saying is that I’ve got goodwill for the man going back decades and I have zero fucking problem believing he can be abusive, especially under the influence.…

Maybe because he realized it would make him sound like a guy carefully crafting a skin suit in the basement? That detail is so fucking creepy, I actually believe it is true.

It was that, if people don’t know what faces look like without makeup, maybe they shouldn’t act like they do.

Congratulations on winning the hard-fought contest for dumbest fucking response to my comment. I responded to someone wondering why they have to repeatedly explain how the no-makeup makeup look works. I addressed that specific point. I didn’t introduce the makeup topic. And I made it as clear as possible that I don’t…

Let’s review:

Condescension would require me operating from a superior position. I kinda doubt you would spend all that time putting makeup on if you didn’t know it was an advantage. So so very sorry I didn’t play along with your narrative where all that time you spend on makeup isn’t a choice. (It is a choice, asshole, and fuck…

Once again, not asking any men to know anything about makeup. Only asking them to shut the fuck up regarding that which they do not understand, i.e. makeup. Can I say that more slowly for you?

I’m sorry, but unless you are wearing a sign around your neck that says “my face is a magic show,” it is ridiculous to expect men who never use makeup to recognize makeup that is FUCKING DESIGNED TO NOT LOOK LIKE MAKEUP. This is obnoxious. You can’t have it both ways. You can’t work your ass off for the no-makeup look…

Pretty sure I’m experienced enough to get qualified as an expert to evaluate on sight the level of inebriation of college aged white guys, and he’s basically at the perfect level of “drunk enough to convince himself that mounting the passed out girl is ok” but also “sober enough to know immediately when he gets called…

I generally agree with the move away from publishing mugshots along with crime stories, but I’m not gonna lie... I’m not above enjoying a pic of drunk, privileged white guy shot through with adrenaline as he comprehends for the first time in his life that shit truly might not go his way.

This is a natural and predictable result of so many women refusing to appear in public without makeup. I’m not trying to sound like an angry second wave feminist, or claim that anyone owes it to the sisterhood to forego foundation and concealer, but as someone who does forego those things, it’s hard for me not to…

That’s a believable 44. (But then my regular source of casually comparing faces to listed ages is the visitors section of my OKC profile, so I’m accustomed to guys allegedly 5 years younger than me looking 5 years older than me.)

I want to try a twist on Scheherazade and tell you that you can’t kill yourself until you master sarcasm. Because I have faith that given concentrated effort to the task you will fall in love with darker humor and it will comfort you.

I want you to know that I chuckled and rolled my eyes on your behalf at the people who corrected you after you acknowledged the error. (idgi, were they so excited to correct a mistake they didn’t check to see if someone else had done it first? Do they think it’s such an obscure bit of knowledge that only they could’ve…

As far as I know they’re synonymous terms. It sounds like what is happening is that Stanford’s Department of Public Safety has its own booking system/jail, which is where he was taken the night of the crime so they’re the people with the traditional “I just got caught” mugshot, and his first time in custody of the…

Um... either that guy dresses for frat parties exactly like he dresses for court or that’s the photo of when he was taken into custody after conviction, not the photo taken of him the night/early morn he was arrested.

Today in “figuring out how kinja works,” it would appear that gonegirl2 has managed to dismiss entire chains of conversation, but I guess we can still see and respond to each other as fellow dismissees?
