Nobody saw them being shipped off to play in Europe until they were good enough to try for the NBA draft? OK, buddy,.
WTF take me out of the grays please. I am offended.
Man, me and Stephen Crockett called this in Slack last week. And I just said to him, a dude with no high school diploma and one with less than a semester of college. THIS SHOULD END SPLENDIDLY.
I love weed.
THIS IS THE GUTS
If y’all don’t grasp why I, a journalist for Gizmodo Media, can’t call Steve King a racist in a headline, I don’t know what to tell you.
Damn. This was honest as fuck. Thank you for sharing.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
I wasn’t catty or rude to her. I never said she owed me anything, in fact the entire article says the exact opposite of that. Also? This article specifically addresses a nonmonogamous sexual relationship. A relationship that was pure sex and nothing else, which I also clearly state in the article. Polyamory was not…
Yes. Note the “being in love” or “romantically” involved. There is not very much romance or love in any of Nola’s relationships if you think about it.
It’s interesting...I find that the people most experienced in “the life” so to speak tend to agree with me on it’s definitions and norms etc. Many of us read The Ethical Slut when it came out and operate under those guidelines and parameters or something very close to it.
You are reading way more into it than is there. My response to her was respectful. Nothing I have said here is ridiculing her. If you are personally feeling some type of way about it because of experiences you have had in the past, I get that, but again, that’s not my issue.
But she knew she wasn’t in a committed relationship with him. As I stated earlier, it seemed she was just more shocked to find out who one of the other women was. That’s something different. That’s a thing she would have to work out on her own time or with him, not me.
I did not owe her a thank you. She didn’t provide me with any information I wasn’t already aware of or already assuming. I knowingly went into a nonmonogamous sexual relationship with someone. I assumed (correctly) that there would be other women. I acted accordingly. Protected myself. All of that.
Knowing that we were nonmonogamous, I already assumed he was sleeping with other people, so what was she really informing me of? I didn’t feel a need to know who she was personally. She was reacting from shock, and I get that, but that wasn’t my cross to bear. Nor should it be.
She wasn’t in a monogamous relationship and she knew she wasn’t. She was feeling some type of way about finding out who one of the other women he was messing with actually was. That’s entirely different than being in a monogamous relationship and finding out your man is cheating.
I didn’t ridicule her, and I am not bashing her actions. I knew what I was getting into, and I took the necessary precautions. I gave her the best advice I could and moved on.
I like how you did this, sis. I love you.
IT MEEEEEEEEE
