I had a very close friend in college who OD’d (but survived) soon after I realized we wouldn’t be compatible roommates the next year and therefore backed out of our living arrangement. When she OD’d and left school, she told me it was my fault. I know it wasn’t, but man that really stuck with me for a long time.

She’s very tall. You can’t tell size just from looking at what you perceive to be fat distribution.

It’s okay not to watch the show, but Bojack’s depictions of alcoholism are very much NOT for laughs. All the alcoholic characters ruin their lives and the lives around them, including a death. It’s very real and very dark.

Very excited. I think this is truly one of the smartest and funniest shows I’ve ever seen. Just the ridiculous background puns are always so clever - Almost every single shot (is that what you call it in an animated show?) stands on its own as hilarious.

I don’t think ringing “20-30 times” is not giving enough time to answer- rather people weren’t answering because it’s the middle of the night and that’s a scary/dangerous time to be opening up the door to strangers

Of course there’s old and new money, but not reallylike mentioned in the book. Not anymore at least. I actually went to K-12 with a lot of old money families because I’m from upper Manhattan, but as described in the book, Americans would be looked down on as new money pretty much as a whole because the money still

Side note unrelated- having read the book, I think it's more like how titled British see themselves- I don't think any Americans could come close to understanding (maybe the vanderbilts and the rockefellers?)

Find the people who make you feel supported- you can't do law school alone because it is lonely and hard. I graduated in May and was only a few years older than most students and still felt a huge divide between my experience and the kids who went straight through. But I found my people, the ones who cared about the

Send this question to askamanager.com! Alison always has the best advice, but also might advise you DO tell someone of your worries because it can cause big problems down the road.

I'm also trained, and in NYC. We are trained with nasal spray. 

What about the good old fashioned wear a shitty t-shirt and then change in the bathroom at your destination? It doesn’t really work for me because I’m a leg sweater (standing on the subway with drops of moisture rolling down your legs is one of the most uncomfortable parts of summer), but many of my upper body

Aren’t they biodegradable? When they got big, I remember everyone saying that the coolest thing about them (aka the only cool thing) was that if you were trapped on a dessert island you could melt them down and eat them and it would be okay.

Except he's not. Instead I'd go with: you have to be a man.

Why are so many of the responses below unbelievably negative BECAUSE a beautiful woman is talking about enjoying beauty? I love what she’s saying, and having known people who knew her back in India, she's apparently a very kind and generous person overall. I'm so tired of people being rude about looks- damned if you

I think the fact that the sequel was 14 years after the first one also had a lot to do with it. We saw it yesterday and the theater was packed- lots of people clapped and whooped throughout the film at callbacks to the original.

Totally agreed.

I hear you, but she obviously has to. She’s already lost advertisers and more are threatening.

I understand, especially as a larger woman who grew up in a very thin environment with parents obsessed with dieting. But I’m talking about the book- I’ve read it and one thing that really frustrates me although I liked it overall is that Plum is ostensibly on a journey of becoming body positive but on her way to

Wait, I feel so stupid right now- is she not Latina?

They’re in NYC, which is where I’m born and raised... I’ve been freaking followed before and once got yelled at and harassed in a vey scary way for ignoring someone who was blocking the sidewalk to get me to talk to him. I’m not a conventionally attractive person, but this is standard.
