What, casually nicknaming your friends Hooker, Slut, and Drug Addict and cheating on your dude in the back of a minivan?

You can do all those "omg irresponsible" behaviors without pretending you're a total degenerate for the purposes of creative fiction, imo.

I used to get all the jokes along that line, or even the casual prison rape jokes, but then I realized I knew people who had shitty families or were actual former drug addicts or work in sex work and I was just o_O at throwing that shit out for the laughs

btw this says a lot about me but the only thing that actually made me angry about this was calling the dude who sells you weed a drug dealer, otherwise it seems like a certain kind of boilerplate workshop fiction I've heard a million times

The difference between twenty-five and thirty-eight is that, at thirty-eight, when a strange man says he wants to have sex with you, you feel grateful.

I don't see how anyone can read the "drug dealer" section and think that she for real considers that dude to be her drug dealer, as opposed to sensationalizing their relationship to elicit a reaction (which, btw, fails spectacularly)

Actually I am a simmering kettle of thoughts about women calling their female friends (previously?) derogatory names. I've been seeing it in a few difft capacities lately, some more defensible than others, and THAT is not something I do but the ways it's done are percolating with me right now.

YEAH my outburst of yesterday notwithstanding, this is some seriously toxic bullshit.

i think it's telling that she watched Girls and decided that it was time for a similarly self-hating narrative about ppl her age.

completely loling at you guys getting offender by "drug dealer". if she referred to a barista that way, would you be offended? or are you angry because of the borderline acceptable/illegal way weed is treated so you have to stand up for your socially-acceptable drug of choice?

Mordy, if "drug dealer" carries a stigma, why not her derogatory nicknames for the friends? Seems like an arbitrary distinction.
― hot sauce delivery device (mh), Tuesday, 10 July 2012 19:29 (eleven years ago) link
yes, her derogatory nicknames for her friends also carry a stigma is that your point?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 19:30 (eleven years ago) link
... are we just going to ignore Tracer's post, then

I'd change my display name but apparently I'm already "the dude who makes reference to sex organs in his display name" and I don't really feel like conforming to expectations right now

I see Laurel and mookieproof have covered the "38 year old women like to be sexually harassed" angle, so that saves me some time.
― carl agatha, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 19:51 (eleven years ago) link
Maybe it's "sexual harassment" meaning it's just flirting but she's married and likes it so it's "harassment."
― hot sauce delivery device (mh), Tuesday, 10 July 2012 19:53 (eleven years ago) link
Like when her "slut" friend introduced her to her "drug dealer" who gave her free drugs and "sexually harassed" her and she enjoyed it.
ugh

only slightly w/r/t this article, but you meet sort of aging party people every now and again and they are always the fucking worst.

I was about to quote Mordy for that, too.
― hot sauce delivery device (mh), Tuesday, 10 July 2012 20:22 (eleven years ago) link
The article gave me some inner sense of familiarity, then I realized with "self righteous coke snorting cheaters" that these people reminded me of my parents. Negative affect with growing up with that is you become friends/date self-righteous coke snorting cheaters, who are truly the most obnoxious people in the world.

being a vaguely-irresponsible partying not-that-hard person with some alcoholic tendencies is pretty human, thinking that it's in some way decadent or cool is pretty bad

Romanticizing this lifestyle might lead to some poor sap aspiring to it. I mean, I've met people who have read Bukowski and aspire to that lifestyle which... jesus, did you actually read it?

tbf I haven't read bukowski but that's because I was vomiting down my shirt
― catbus otm (gbx), Tuesday, 10 July 2012 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
you know what soaks up vomit really well? a bukowski book. keep it in your shirt pocket just in case.
― hot sauce delivery device (mh), Tuesday, 10 July 2012 20:46 (eleven years ago) link
so, the romanticizing/fetishizing is a "might be" bad effect.
acktually doing that crap when other people are more dependent on you (professionally, your family) is a "probably will be" bad effect
not that i want to get all moralistic about drugs and sex tho. do your thing i guess.
