Is it any help that Hollywood doesn’t help the average male with dating advice, either? I went to college thinking that I would need to act like an asshole to get a woman’s attention, and then “turn into a nice guy” later. (See all movies from the 1980's, although a lot of guys never did change, and the woman just…

Also, a transperson not communicating their status to a partner until clothes are being shed is decidedly NOT a good idea. That’s how people get killed.

“Mean Girls (2004), for instance, didn’t at all ponder the implications of an adult having sexual relationships with minors”

I repeat: I honestly didn’t think much about these scenes or any deeper implications they might hold. They’re cute and goofy, and I’m an adult woman who’s traded in high school crushes for a far less cute dating hell. But they certainly stuck out to Michele Meek, author of the new book Consent Culture and Teen Films:…

I don’t see how Oklahoma could have any such law (21 OK Stat § 21-1283 (2020) [1]); I mean, law enforcement would have to achieve a preposterous mixture of bad at and ain’t doing their jobs!

Social media and the immediate and endless thread of news which glorifies violent headlines and makes something tragic in California cause anxiety for someone living in New Jersey

While I don’t doubt that giving medically accurate information to other inmates didn’t contribute to this round of solitary, it seems “Miserable Murray” really likes putting Kwaneta Yatrice Harris in solitary.

I feel like he’s either deeply closeted or on the spectrum. Every photo or video of him seems like he just doesn’t know how to use his body in the way he thinks it should be used. He’s either constantly second guessing how a straight macho man would move, or he just doesn’t understand people in general.

A less cynical me wants to believe his dismissal was part of the settlement.

Well, there’s a job opening at CNN (see: Don Lemon, also ousted today), and I honestly won’t be shocked if Tucker turns up there. He brings in a LOT of (vile, angry, ignorant) viewers.

I think there is some serious incriminating evidence that will come out about Carlson and Fox wants some separation so they can throw him under the bus.

This has the feel of truth for me. I wouldn’t doubt that Carlson had a bunch of stuff lined up for his Monday show that would put the settlement at risk or open Fox up to more litigation, and he couldn’t be dissuaded to keep his trap shut. He may have been their biggest draw, but once you become a liability to the…

None of the reasons people are offering for her behaving this way are that compelling. No VC/consulting firm is going to find her particularly compelling as a hire because she’s made painfully obvious colossal mistakes of late that haven’t even really resulted in anything big happening.

.....so badly that Biden coasts to re-election—not because I love him, but because his presidency would mean no national abortion ban.

THE REPO CODE!

“Also, judges can’t tell the FDA what to do.” That’s simply untrue, and directly contradicted by the article. The issues the article is raising largely center around the problem of the judge telling the FDA to do illegal things, like exceeding its authority or not following procedures congress explicitly legislated.…

Because we all know burglars always ring the doorbell to warn you that they’re coming in, apparently.
