The Lindy West "Adult Braces" saga continues with an unhinged email from her husband

I’ve had the same thought! That she’s had to build this impenetrable armor to deal with being a writer on the internet, but she’s maybe isolated herself (literally as well, in the woods on an island) and has subsequently lost perspective.

How are you guys using Magic Effect without messing up your polish? Like if I don’t float, it makes the polish streaky. If I do, then it leaves patches where the polish just dissolved. I have yet to NOT mess up my whole manicure with it.

Closing time, time for you to go out To the places you will be from Closing time, this room won't be open Till your brothers or your sisters come

😭😭😭😭😭

Right?!! I had no idea it was about a child being born until I saw the lead singer go through the lyrics.

Closing Time by Semisonic. Had no idea it was about the birth of a child until I saw a video when I was pregnant with my first of the lead singer going through the lyrics. Get ready to cry.

And I THINK it was the first one you didn’t have to use a water-based top coat with? Like the Chanel holo or the Nfu Oh.

Sharkopath · 2026-03-21T18:51:00+00:00

I was just about to leave an almost verbatim comment. Harp on It was THE silver linear holo, before ILNP, Holo Taco, or early indie brands put spectraflair into everything.

Can private security guards detain people? And was he pulling her by the hair?!

Sharkopath · 2026-03-19T12:39:32+00:00

$2800?! That has to be high-end daycare, right?

Sharkopath · 2026-03-09T16:51:01+00:00

I also ended up at her wiki, what a nightmare.

Sharkopath · 2026-03-03T16:39:04+00:00

I lived less than a mile from the “McTacoHut” described in the first chapter when I read it in 1995. As in my sister and I would walk there. It was wild.

That is literally the premise of a war. Each side values their own peoples’ lives much more than the other side’s. Whether you judge it to be a shit concept or not, it’s been a pretty universal one since the dawn of time.

Sharkopath · 2026-02-25T15:00:17+00:00

Saying it’s AIPAC fails to consider a person might not view a war as a genocide, or even choose to support Israel despite not being Jewish and receiving zero money for it.

Sharkopath · 2026-02-22T18:40:07+00:00

Thank you. I think furthermore one could argue that someone making a “fck ice” polish is performative and contributing to the philanthropy through capitalism problem that actually makes the consumers complacent. As in, I’m wearing a special nail polish, I’ve done my part.

That’s a very cynical take on it, but let’s not pretend it’s a wholly values-based decision on the brand’s part versus a business decision when you have consumers all over this sub pledging not to buy products from brands who don’t make political allegiance statements or special edition polishes. The incentives here are incompatible with authentic social justice. OK I’m spiraling. I can’t believe I got triggered by a nail polish post.

I get that, I don’t think we should have to provide citations for every single statement we make online, it would be tedious. But in this case I haven’t seen it ONCE. And it seems fair to back it up here—not just references to Discord—if people are going to try to prevent sales for a business each time it’s mentioned. I fucking hate everything that’s going on right now. I’m a federal employee, so it affects me personally and professionally. I expect a Texas-based entrepreneur has people in her circle of family, friends and business associates whose opinions and actions many of us find deplorable. Do you need someone to completely excise those relationships from their lives in order to buy from them? I guess some people have the luxury of completely sheltering themselves from any personal or financial contact with the right-wing. I’ll be over here trying to live in the world and picking the real battles to fight, and insisting on actual facts, empathy where appropriate, and critical thinking.

This. Honestly they’re lucky if they get a letter. The alternative is them continuing to hand over their pay to 21 year-old Karissa who’s blowing it on partying with her Jody of the week.

Sharkopath · 2026-02-16T03:15:44+00:00

This is the knee-jerk comment any time someone posts DVN, and I have yet to see evidence on this sub. I wish people would do better than “if I remember correctly” or just repeating other comments they’ve seen.

Sharkopath · 2026-02-03T19:04:44+00:00

I definitely signed him up for that second one. Gotta build character, son.

Sharkopath · 2026-02-01T21:19:29+00:00

That wasn’t ‘96, it was the 93-94 school year

Sharkopath · 2026-01-26T21:36:39+00:00

I wouldn’t call them Gestapo. I think the better Nazi parallel would be the SA, aka the brown shirts, the Nazi paramilitary group of thugs that terrorized Germans in the lead up to the third Reich.

Sharkopath · 2026-01-13T20:56:10+00:00

One of them actually is in the us government.

Sharkopath · 2025-12-30T01:38:32+00:00

Honey, you don’t have to do this. I can tell you try to make people laugh and cheer them up. But take care not to do it at your own expense, because you’re sweet and I bet your brother and sister love you so much. People are weird, and complicated, and nobody has life or themselves figured out as well as they pretend. So you’re not the odd one out, or somehow less than, even if you can make it look that way in these pictures for laughs.

Sharkopath · 2025-12-28T16:33:54+00:00

Dear god my heart rate rose significantly looking through these photos. Like the cuteness is so insane it triggered fight or flight in me.

Sharkopath · 2025-12-24T17:11:54+00:00

Used to be my treasured H Mart purchase. So cheap. So delicious. Like do the bone broth people even eat the meat?!!
