Do you not know anything about how manipulative and charming abusers are in the beginning of a relationship? They lead you to believe they’re an amazing person who’s overcome so many troubles so that you feel like they are loving and truly vulnerable. In your metaphor- imagine a skunk could do make you see it as a…

I see my comment to the very sad individual below has disappeared.

and unable to handle “hot-tempered” LaBeouf’s method acting.

I think bookNends sums it up pretty well - working on a movie together about his troubling past was probably emotionally intense and created the illusion that he had any kind of self awareness/recovery. If you read the original article from the Times, she also talks specifically about how he exhibited classic abusive…

Putting this here for Knope Grope is Last Hope in case they decide to flag my comment again:

Louis CK’s apology didn’t do one of the specific things I pointed out that LaBoeuf’s did, i.e. “cast vague doubt on the accounts of his victims.” But it was a masterclass in deflecting bullshit. To start, the very first sentence after “...this is true” is a (very clever, incidentally) attempt to minimize his behavior…

It’s the hair, the glasses, and most likely binge drinking as I know someone who has a severe drinking problem and also looks about 10-15 years older than she really is.

Also as a spokesperson for “the crazy” please don’t blame the mentally ill for awful behavior and assholes. Our lives are already hard enough what…

I was raised Republican and (for some of my childhood) evangelical, so I’m only doing what I wish others had done for me. My cousin can be a bit brusque or dismissive, and I think I can be a little more gentle even if I’m worse at debating than he is.

She doesn’t believer it either, she’s just another lying cultist trying to get in on the grift. You can tell by how she whined about people being mean to her and losing her job and shit.

I always say “do not interrupt your enemies while they are making mistakes,” but their mistakes seem to have no effect so I’m unsure of how to proceed.

I mean . . . it’s possible she’s lying about her age in addition to everything else.

Can you please post the number for the Suicide Prevention Hotline on articles like this? It should be standard practice, even on a site that’s being actively dismantled by an herb.

Just more proof that there is no such thing as cancel culture.

It’s not even that. The House has sent multiple covid relief bills over to the Senate where they are gathering dust on McTurtle’s desk. McCarthy is once again, like always, presenting a bad faith case.

I don’t recommend the way I finally got over an asshole ex — I was in a dreadful car accident and almost died. While I was in the hospital, I realized that I’d been wasting my time caring that he wasn’t in my life any more. He wasn’t worth it. I was alive, and that was good, and there was no way I was going to waste…

I won’t argue against any of their findings, but I think we can all agree that 2020 was a cheat year for not pickling our brains and livers.

You are so right - those “insecurities” are her survival skills. It is not normal in a healthy, mutually trusting and respectful relationship to have a secret app on a dating site. She is not “insecure”. She is justifiably wary, distrustful, and hurt. The onus isn’t on her to fix those feelings. The onus is on her…

About a year before we broke up, I found out from a friend that he had a secret profile on a dating app. I tried to forgive him and restore trust in the relationship, but I couldn’t overcome my insecurities.

The ol’ “It was a joke!” story. This guy’s stand-up routine ain’t worth the two-drink minimum. But seriously folks...this guy needs to be prosecuted! And what’s the deal with fascist voter fraud schemes, amirite? Heyooooo!
