you give really bad, dumb advice

All you need to know about Christianity was learned on 11/9.

Exactly. I’m no longer LDS but I know plenty of LDS people. I wouldn’t confront them about their religion out of no where, no matter how awful I found being a member

Does Barbara Streisand have a choreographer? Does Cleopatra have a choreographer? Does Sirius the brightest star in the sky have a choreographer?

Stop!!!

Yeah I mean I guess it would have been easier to shoot her.

I feel like a good reason for getting divorced is just realizing you don’t want to be married. It’s their marriage, lol. They don’t need a “valid” reason to not want to be married anymore.

What’s wrong with not wanting more kids?

That’s like the sweet spot for watching it on VHS a million times.

I’m curious...what would the compromise be? Half a child that they share with another family?

Listen: I am the biggest sex ed advocate I know (I literally founded a pro-choice group in one of the reddest, Bible-thumpingist parts of the country), but I don’t think it really requires advanced sex ed to realize green shit shouldn’t be oozing out of the tip of a dick.

You know what is dead? Love.

Megan Amram is a national treasure

500 DoK was just DUAN for Gawker, and it had the best comments on kinja. I never get this weird hate for it.

Smoke em if you got em!

I feel like to be a good advice columnist (my personal favorite is Dear Prudence), you need to have a large amount of empathy and while Jane Marie’s I Don’t Give a Fuck attitude might be an attractive writing style in other instances, it does not work for advice.

Honestly, I was so confused by the response to Letter #1 I thought I scrolled too far and was reading the wrong response. I had no clue where “loving drama!!” or “you’re lonely and need a hobby” came from.

I was pretty put off by the tone of response to the first letter too. Yes, she should probably remove herself from the situation for her own mental protection, but saying she’s just involved because she just “loves drama” or “is lonely”? What about maybe she just cares for her friend? Or she’s having PTSD from seeing…

I admit I’m not a fan of Jane Marie personally (not since the reactions to her articles about flying with her daughter or trying to get a neck tattoo), so I’m biased, but I have to agree with you here. This was really not very good advice.

I really feel like this person should not be giving advice. Letter #1: obviously she can’t pull away because she’s seeing abuse but the response was incredibly insensitive and never touched on that. Letter #2: the first thing you’re going to do is scold them and then suggest more therapy? Also, I get not calling…
