That’s an excellent point! You are absolutely correct.

I mean, I am mostly being glib- it’s very easy to not sing a karaoke song. And there’s no gray area with R. Kelly, he’s a disgusting human being. As for football, I am pointing out that this is a thing I struggle with. I am not looking for absolution, just think it’s conversation-worthy. I guess I am saying, sometimes…

BUT YOU DONT REALIZE HOW FUCKING GOOD I AM AT THAT SONG lol

Ugh thats my best song though!!!! Even more than A Thousand Miles or Part of Your World or Semi-Charmed Life (i LOVE the 90s/early 2000s) i absolutely KILL IT when I sing that!

Ugh why won’t it let me edit my comment on mobile?? Argh

This is such a well written and absolutely important piece. I love the comparison between Louis CK harassing someone vs. Joe Schmoe doing the same at a normal 9-5, because you're right there is no difference- only in how some people perceive one as "work" but not the other.

Okay, you don’t like it, that’s fine. Sorry that you didn’t. But I think you can be less rude about it.

That tip didn’t change the trajectory at all, even the guy who tipped the ball knew that didn’t do anything.

As usual, Al Swearengen on Deadwood says it best: “I don’t like the Pinkertons. They’re muscle, for the bosses. As if the bosses ain’t got enough.” And then later, “Pinkerton himself that cocksucker, I hate that bastard.”

Ahhhh right!

Shouldnt it be 117? They had 25 yards of penalties, I thought. Although maybe I’m wrong!

UMMMMMMMMM........

I think I’d go with being a baseball star. I’d still be making millions of dollars, and all without having 300lb linemen trying to decapitate me! The marginal difference between 5 million and 7 million, for example, is relatively small, quality-of-life speaking.

Nah, Draymond is very awful. I still do think Warriors hate is overblown, but he is a SCUMBAG.

As my friend L said on facebook when I posted this: “Yoooooo.” Then about 30 minutes later: “YOOOOOOOOOOOO”And then finally “I HAVE FEELINGS ABOUT THIS!”

Absolutely. A lot of my guy friends were shaken by it too- which is definitely a good thing.

Both stories, it’s like she sees through peoples’ souls!

A lot of my friends had that reaction. As a guy, who *thinks* he is a good ally, reading both of these made me cringe. Because I have definitely had the kind of self-congratulating inner monologues here, all “oh yeah you’re not SO BAD Zukka, youre just waiting for the right time to dump her!” So, it hits home more…

Completely unrelated to anything here, but I just read this short story (about an hour long read) and..... GODDAMN.

Definitely agree. Depending on where the restaurant is, in terms of proximity/ease of getting to, maybe go a couple times. But does that seem creepy too? Probably actually, now that I think about it.
