It’s ok - I give my partner A LOT of shit for being a misogynist. It’s entirely cultural (he grew up in a very conservative Italian Catholic family where women got married and had kids and stayed in the kitchen while men had lives) and he’s much better with it now that he’s been living with me for years. He does still…

I think set-ups are pretty awkward and, of course, have a fairly low chance of being accepted. If I innocently saw a cute guy on my friend’s feed along with the information that he was going to X event, I wouldn’t think it was particularly creepy to show up and see if I could meet him without awkward friend…

Wait people think this is creepy? I genuinely thought this was a normal part of how people use facebook...

I’m a woman and I don’t know that I’d find it cute, necessarily, but not off-putting. I don’t think it’s creepy... no creepier than googling someone, which is something I think is completely understandable and inevitable. People are curious!

Anyone who is scared of a spider is nuts. Why just the other day, one was helping my wife do dishes!

As a counterpoint:

She could have, and nearly did, cause her own child to die. Over a spider. But, yeah, go easy on her.

I’m shocked and amazed that a CEO actually got convicted of something, anything in this country. I hope this is the beginning of a trend.

I wouldn’t worry about it. He’s 10. At that age, being grounded for a month feels like being grounded forever.

He’s probably heard something like that from his parents for years and has internalized it. or is just parroting.

I think they should have added time just for that “what happened.” I would have gained a tiny shred of respect for him if he had said “what I did.” Fuck him.

I’m actually amazed that, in this country, a CEO would be sentenced to jail for business practices that endangered the public (and even killed some). That’s actually sorta progressive and just.

I think I’ve got Shitty Apology Bingo!

“It’s been a seven year nightmare for me and my family”, you know, none of whom died. “I’m truly sorry for what happened”, which I won’t take responsibility for or admit guilt for, despite the fact that, DUH, it’s actually my fault.

We didn’t always say nice things, and sometimes we were downright mean. Sometimes I just vented about frustrating experiences in an immature, hateful, and foolish way. It was in particular a breach of trust to post intimate details about lovers. I was naive enough to think it’d stay anonymous, and I was wrong.

As the gf/author of the thirsty waitress (so glad there is a term for this now) I wish I had let her have it. But at 17, I was a chicken.

And Elizabeth.... thought he was an arsehole and decided to stay well away. What a success.

So much truth! It’s like the nicest men I know, don’t go around proclaiming they are the nicest guys ever! They discreetly do nice things for people because it’s the decent thing to do.

I have a theory about pick up artistry having one actual benefit to a certain type of guy. I want to run it by everyone. Keep in mind that I am a well known moron so if what I say is stupid, please let me know without hurting my feelings (I’m not an alpha male).
