Also given the content of the article, I can imagine that her "counselling" to these at-risk young girls is "you'll never find a nice husband if you don't stop dressing so slutty and talking back."

I think "at risk" means they come from a poo poo homelife and they're most likely to get teen pregnant, become junkies, or otherwise gently caress up their lives

Len posted:I think "at risk" means they come from a poo poo homelife and they're most likely to get teen pregnant, become junkies, or otherwise gently caress up their lives I know what the term means in general usage, I just don’t know why it’s in quotes there. I don’t think it usually is? so adding them makes it seem like either an error or a strange dog whistle. Like if I were to put up a sign that says “‘fresh’ sandwiches sold here,” you’d go “wait, why are there quotes around that? are they not ACTUALLY fresh?”

Can you even imagine trying to read aloud in a crowded bus? Must be a masterful orator to make yourself heard over all the other random people on the bus - especially the ones telling you to shut the gently caress up after you get like two sentences in. Or is this the bizzaro world where random people on the street enjoy listening to some nerd stutter and mumble through literature unprompted?

I like to imagine the "yes I did" added on at the end is said in a defensive outraged tone because of everyone instantly saying "no you didn't" when they heard her telling the story in person. Also I've rarely seen a book I wanted to read less after seeing that title, cover and review excerpt and the type of person who wants to show off that they're reading it (the stdh author).

Where I'm from, if someone reads out loud on a bus, or even sings, people prefer to ignore them completely. You don't wan't to mess with a crazy person for 15 minutes of quite time.

Yeah I haven't seen anyone read out loud, but i've seen many drunks talking to themselves and walking up and down the tram aisle. Most people do one of two things: stay as still and silent as possible like they're a tyrannosaurus rex that won't be able to see them if they don't move, or get up and move or even get off at the next stop. Engaging the crazy person is never a good idea.

I'm still confused as to what prompted the "loving bitch" comment. Was it because they were taking up extra space on the crowded bus by the way in which they were reading the book? How the gently caress would you even do that with a tiny novel?

If you read down far enough of the twitter people eating the story up and suggesting they should build a statue of her for doing that (not joking), yeah it was about taking up too much space with their elbows. Calling her a loving bitch is obviously way over the line but I'd be pretty annoyed too if somebody's elbow was in my space.

The elusive "femspreading" finally discovered  Bitch was probably laying in a goddamn bubble bath with a dozen lit candles while she was reading that book, took up at least three seats.

I was confused about that too, but my assumption is that the implication is that the guy wanted to talk to her but she kept reading her book.

Considering the story she made up, I'd completely believe she was elbowing people in an attempt to make her reading as conspicuous as possible.

If my husband ever called either of our kids "my sweet honey comb" I would punch him in the dick. Like sugar poodle is bad but that's up there on the summit of cringe mountain, yodeling. Edit to add some stdh from an article about autism: quote:James has a talent for voicing thoughts. Once in a doctor’s waiting room he exclaimed, “Mom, that loud TV is making me nervous, and I’m here to get my blood drawn, so I’m already nervous enough.” Several people applauded, and I asked the receptionist to turn off the TV.

Labes for days posted:If my husband ever called either of our kids "my sweet honey comb" I would punch him in the dick. Literally nothing to applaud, just a kid demanding a television be turned off. Could have at least said it was Trump/Obama giving a state of the union address on the TV to show how enlightened the child was.
