Yeah but it’s more than just people at the top (the people making money) protecting them... it is the fans too: fans who refuse to believe that their precious, superstar ____ could ever do ____ (insert: rape a woman, beat a woman, steal, murder, etc.), and will stop at nothing to make the victim’s life hell until she…

This truly happened to me, and maybe I should have contacted the police about it but I didn’t. I try not to think about it.

I live alone.

When I was sixteen I would sneak out of the house at night get high and read a book (Such a rebel, I know). There was an empty forclosed home next door, and I would get inside via a basement window well and smoke in the basement’s bar area. One night it was raining pretty heavy, and I forgot to bring my lighter. I…

My junior year in college my roommate and I had a fascination with Ouija boards. We would pull it out for every little decision and for every one of life’s great mysteries (Will I get a good job? Will I get married? Where does the other sock go? Is the coke really pure?). Every once in awhile we would get a response…

My Grandma had always said there were ghosts living in their house but I always laughed and ignored it because I never really believed in them. The night before my Grandfather’s funeral, I woke up to the sound of someone in the next room opening and closing cabinet doors and moving things around like they were looking…

Yay - I love this thread! I know three true ghost stories; here’s one:

I am still not over “Look at Me”

And have you been to peoples houses where they had a huge cd display case and everything was categorized and all the cds were clean and put in cases and they’re all “don’t smudge it!! ?”I thought those people were aliens.

lol “I have a CD Walkman.”

Not curable. Period. And I never had any issue calling out anyone who injured a child or other vulnerable person. Not being cruel or putting suspicion in play, but fact based action.

I am not any kind of expert, but I would guess it’s just a variant or particular manifestation of narcissistic personality disorder.

One episode of that show had my favorite quote ever from a reality show. A homeowner who went back to her old house, which had been redecorated by someone who must have watched the Sopranos and thought, yes, Carmela has exquisite taste, if only she just went a little further with it. The poor woman looked around and…

A point that a fair number of readers seem not to be getting is this: The problem isn’t that journalists made jokes about a grim story. The problem is that they based their jokes on pretty much all the facts and backstory of the story except for the single most salient and chronically overlooked one, and in so doing…

Yes, it very much fucking is off base to say that, unless by “known better” you mean he should have been sitting at the front door with a shotgun waiting to greet this dickbag properly. It is not in any way required or expected for Derek Fisher or Gloria Govan to make relationship decisions based on fear of what Matt…

I actually really hate all the comments to the effect of ‘he’s just a clueless douche’ or ‘I guess he was just some bro all along’. Are we really so singular in our thinking? Are we really so unable to reconcile conflicting feelings about a person to the point that we need to simply write them off entirely when they…

Glad I’m not alone. What in fuck did that mean? And I agree - when a relationship ends and one person has behaved badly and/or continues to behave badly you’re under no obligation to love them or even like them. Quite frankly, stay as far away from them as possible.
