This right here.

It’s astounding the mental gymnastics *one* would have to go through in order to be comfortable with this.

I understand, I do. I’ve had to pull myself back from online commenting, because about 6 months ago I realized I was amping up my anxiety over things I couldn’t really solve. I’m a lot less vocal in online communities these days, but I feel more stable.

They’re the ultimate “femme initiatrice” that the surrealists just loved.....their only value to serve as the pontifex to the noble artiste and his journey into the Deep Art of life.

Thank you for this. I got a similar reply to my comment, and didn’t want to even validate it with a reply. But you said it perfectly: I can think about more than one thing at once, assholes, it’s not hard.

My thoughts exactly. Dude, you’re not good at this.

I also love the careful use of the third person. Of course “one” thinks about it. But did SHE think about it, truly? Did she ask herself if she would leave her daughter alone with him? Did she look at the facts, not the rumours?

Wow. Reading this it really is evident how hard his people worked to spin the big picture message that most people get. Because I always believed her and knew he was a POS, but had no idea how far it went and how clearly he was implicated by the courts.

Men have a really, really hard time understanding rape and assault, particularly those committed against men. I’m sorry it happened to you and I’m sorry it was dismissed. Strength and peace to you.

I’m neither American nor a specialist in your history, but even I have heard the recording of that speech and I do not recall anything that would make me transcribe it with an exclamation mark. It was a solemn and stern proclamation.

Right?! “all women should be believed, but *I* don’t want to think of myself as a predator in any context, and I have no sense whatsoever of how that makes me part of the problem”. Fucking unpack that privilege, mofo. There’s a lot in there.

True, but even with that I really didn’t expect them to move on it.

Exactly.

LMAO perfect response

The other day my toddler totally schooled me. He was playing with a little toy polar bear cub. He said, “what’s its name, mama?” And I said, “what do you think it should be called? Is it a boy or a girl?”

Because this fascinated me when I learned about it: there’s research to show that milk consumption produces a morphine-like substance, casomorphins, thethinking is that the subsequent triggering of relaxed and happy feelings encourages baby animals to come back for more milk (obvious evolutionary win). Cheese however…

I’m surprised! I really didn’t think Netflix would step up on this one. I can’t *wait* to see what stupid hissy fit the Scientologists throw now. Those fuckers.

I like your style.

Oh I agree! but, this Canadian thought she understood how your houses work and now I don’t. Doesn’t one have to pass it before it goes through the other? How do you reconcile two different votes on different pieces of legislation?

Wait, what? There are two different bills? Why? How does that even happen, let alone work?
