Courtney Love has been seriously demonized by a certain segment of the population. I find it pretty disgusting, especially how much of it revolves around her looks and sexual reputation.

I am aware. I was responding in reference to the fact that, at least among the people I’ve known, SR&R was much more polarizing than the pre hiatus records. As far as I ever heard, IOH and FAD were fairly universally liked.

I always think of Save Rock and Roll as their most polarizing album, but that’s because it was in my social circle. I kind of stopped paying close attention after that record because I just didn’t get it. I mean, I know they still do big venue tours and their song Immortals was in Big Hero 6, but I had no idea they…

Huh. I honestly had no idea. I don’t have cable, so I wouldn’t know about most of those things. To me, they seem very rooted in 2005-2007, but that is apparently wrong

People like what they like. I still retain a certain fondness for that time period, personally. I’m pretty impressed by the longevity of their career

You realize FOB was at the height of their popularity in the mid aughts, just after NSYNC, right?

Their drummer is intense. He’s a soft spoken, vegan, crossfitter. Tbh, the whole band pretty much has their life together, which might be unexpected

Congrats! I suspect that the way a kitten is treated when they’re very small really influences their later personality, so early training is good.

Oh my goodness...thankfully, my cousin never did anything quite like that. But he’s also 3 years older than me and boys are the worst

Toilets are freaking terrifying as a kid. I was pretty sure they were actually portals to hell

I was so scared that my feet did not touch dirt for days. I was absolutely convinced that the worms would come for me

Everything in my adult life would be the typical depressing stuff.

I mean, I never understood why kids got upset when they found out Santa was a concept and not a real person. I found out when I was about 4 as I was reading Readers Digest and just thought, “well, that makes sense. It’s just another silly pleasantry.” I continued to play along with my parents and it was a grand sort…

Here in NM, we’ve gotten a lot of lovely moisture, which almost never happens in the winter. We even had light snow in November. This is just what happens in El Niño years.

I really appreciate Stoya for pointing out that its not always an easy thing to call something sexual assault, especially if you’re in a relationship with the person who assaulted you. It’s so much easier to pretend that it never happened or that it was a simple mistake (when it clearly wasn’t) because you want to…

My parents always say, “school is your job”, which is pretty hokey, but whatever

I’m in a similar situation and I would also classify it as fairly embarrassing. I’m so, so grateful that my parents support me and that they planned to do this before I was even born. I always feel like I hit the jackpot in the parent lottery because they also support me emotionally. I wouldn’t be able to be in school…

Thank you for mentioning this. My first time was taken without my consent by a man I stayed with for nearly a year after. This type of thing is never mentioned and I very rarely mention what happened to me because I always get, “but then why did you stay with him?” in response

There’s definitely good endings when it comes to laser removal and I didn’t mean to imply otherwise. Statements acting like you’d have to be stupid to get a cover up when it’s actually a practical choice for many people like the OP’s are just rather irritating

Yeah, the scarring is really not pretty, especially the uneven texture the skin sometimes gets. I’ve yet to see anyone who came out of it with no scars. She’s a woman whose appearance is really important to her job.
