Growingly conservative Gen X? Citations please. While anecdata isn’t really something to rely on, my fellow Gen Xer friends, who are spread throughout the country, are trending further left.

Well said.

You’re already in the blacks, so I won’t be bringing you out of them to reply. Though I’m normally in the greys, I have no interest in elevating the troll/dishonest responses, so I guess you’re the one I’m going to respond to.

And personal forgiveness does not mean you have to agree to give people back the life before they committed their offense. I am friends with someone who is a registered sex offender (for like a real crime, not someone who has sex with his 15 year girlfriend at 18). I met him after he got out of prison, I see how…

Aretha Franklin was notorious for being a controlling perfectionist.

Until a person who has committed an offense has actually acknowledged what they’ve done, apologized, and made every effort to make amends, I refuse to accept them as a fellow human. I don’t care if it’s cutting me off in traffic or murder.

Your first sentence is why your second sentence does not make sense. All women are shaped differently, regardless of size. This is why we have clothing that flatters different shapes as well as different sizes. If everything goes to plus size, there will be still be some things that don’t fit. But it is no more…

I am normally the first to defend famous people’s right to privacy but I swear that if we do not get high quality photos of this dog soon I will single-handedly topple the British monarchy. I will trade you every single photo of any children this or any other royal couple has or will have (from baptism to wedding to…

He regrets that Courtney Smith spoke and Brett McMurphy reported it.

I posted video to the root over the summer. I was confused on whether or not I don't right thing, and wanted feedback. I had an incident that happened on my front stoop over the memorial day weekend. I had to call 911 on a drunk guy weilding a machete. I felt conflicted. If I call 911, and he’s still swinging when…

I don’t know if anyone outside academia understands how uniquely terrifying it is to go up against the machines of institutional power there, especially as a grad student. You pour your entire life’s work into your degree and (if your advisors are unscrupulous) put up with all types of abuse because you know these…

Do we stop the vindictive retribution before or after you punch that woman out?

What you just said was the nice way to say it.

I don’t come away from this hating RuPaul at all, I just know that if it was me on a show in close proximity to an idol of mine, I would gush a bit, and if Pearl was crushed by his response, I would have been too. I am sure it was not meant to be harsh and that Ru probably just wanted Pearl to focus shining bright on…

I love that guy. I don’t believe what he’s saying, but I do believe that he believes what he’s saying and that he’s passionate about it. It doesn’t really hurt anybody so, for the most part, I’m cool with it. Giorgio Tsoukalos (the hair guy) went to my daughter’s university campus a couple years ago to test out…

Yeah, I have a gf (late 50's) who briefly tried online dating after her longterm boyfriend ghosted her. The male/female ratio is highly skewed in that age group, and a halfway decent-looking man over 50 is going to be popular with age-appropriate women. Too bad he’s going to want a woman 20 years his junior.

There are also an astonishing number of dudes in their 20's who think every woman over 40 is a cougar. I know this, because they tell me about it everywhere I go online.

Four words: Wrinkly old man testicles. Wrinkly. Old. Man. Testicles.

I’d say keep it buried. There is no real artistic reason to release the footage the film was complete without it as the Director intended. So unless there is an artistic or historical reason for the footage to be released I say just keep it where its been for the past half century.  All else is just voyeurism of a…

Same. I just love drilling down to a high level, for the benefit of stakeholder buy-in. That shit makes my day.
