“If you don’t let her go that will be the end of it. I will not pursue you, I will not look for you. But if you let her go I will find you…and I will hide with you.”
Oh believe me, I’ve missed obvious signals in the past before as well. I’ve literally had female friends come up to me and say “you know she really likes you” and I’m oblivious.
Definitely, agree with Hannah. It’s critical that we hold dudes accountable when they cross clear lines, either that women draw themselves or are just generally considered unacceptable by society at large (see Matt Lauer and Louis CK). Most guys are not going to side with someone who knew what he was doing was clearly unwanted, and if they are not they should absolutely be held accountable for that.
However, guys are not mind readers. We don’t always know if you’re uncomfortable because of us, because you haven’t had sex in a while and are nervous, because you’re really attracted to us, or you just had three vodka-Red Bulls and are just amped up. Do NOT be afraid to clearly and emphatically say “no” to a guy whenever you are feeling uncomfortable. 90% of guys will stop. The other 10% deserve to get buried under the prison.
These are all things I did at some point in my formidable years. I make no excuses and offer sincere apologies, but know it wasn’t out of malice. I was just hella awkward and socially anxious (you all know my neuroses, multiply them by 10). Some guys are predatory, but sometimes guys are just so socially stupid they cannot read basic social cues.
Yeah the only issue you’ll have for something like an alcohol violation is if you lie to the bar about it. If you just explain the circumstances, being a dumb college kid, it won’t impact your standing.
I hate even giving them the dignity of referring to them as “nice guys.” There are actual, nice guys in the world. Guys like this are just fake douches.
I gotta leave Nancy and Jonathan as stagnant, not down. The two drove basically the only relevant side plot of the whole season and as I said previously, Nancy might be the most intriguing character on this show whose name isn’t a number.
Also, you can’t downgrade Jonathan after cucking the king of high school, causing his subsequent downward spiral and rebirth, and way outkicking his coverage while doing so.
Every law student googles “law school dropout jobs” at some point. Just wait until right after you take the Bar when you start googling “JD non-lawyer jobs.”
Alternative: avoid travel and flying like the plague, and you don’t have to spend your time filling out online complaints to offset all that money you just spent.
Hey the death prognostication is already my thing! I am disappointed that Will didn’t fulfill my prediction as most likely main character to die (he did almost die though, so half points). At least deFries acknowledged that Byers is probably the least useful main character in the show and they’d be better off without him.

Tyler is hero we deserve.
Thought I’d throw something a little different for my #brand out there, but make no mistake I don’t dare infringe on deFries’s kingdom
Stay strong Rachel. Depression is a tough beast to slay, but we all believe in you.
Not sure if I should be honored or offended by the call out here
“She’s also been forced to listen to several drunken tirades against her home state of Pennsylvania after any Penguins or Steeler victories”
My man
I endorse and support all of these, especially the thanks given to our wonderful overlords–er bosses at Grandex.

Sight unseen, I knew both of these people would be smokeshows. Even Molly can’t distract you from a hot piece of strange
I’m sorry, who is falling asleep during an ep of Black Mirror?
You really trying to steal the iToliet from George?

Good luck getting back in the saddle.

Btw, was I the only one who spent a LOT of the season thinking that Billy looked a hell of a lot like Zac Efron?
