It's something called the paper, and the ESL reporter says to the head of the paper, after he apologized for how heavily he edited her story.

I watched that show and though it was pretty mid, but I crushed on that Asian actress.

All of this flashed through my head while Denise stared up at me, first with slight disbelief, followed by something like concern. From the outside, I’m sure I looked like what I was; namely, a guy from suburban Texas, just barely past his teens, attempting to ponder the fluid nature of gender and sexuality with a toolset short of more than a few conceptual socket wrenches.

Ramona...it figures.

"What is disturbing to me is that part of me wanted to go with him. The music, the pot and his big cock rubbing on my pussy had me hotter than I have been in years, maybe ever. I wanted to be fucked."

“You’re like a broken record stuck on asshole,” Chase told him. “Don’t talk about what you don’t understand.”

“Mom, I know you’re familiar with Immanuel Kant…” Izzy said, turning to me. Oh good lord, I’m about to be lectured by a First-Year.

“Yes, dear, I know Kant. History’s original 40-Year-Old Virgin. Give an upper middle class white guy a little education and he decides that he alone knows how the entire universe functions.”

“Ad hominem,” Izzy shot back, waving her hand like she was shooing away a fly. “Address the idea, not the incel."

So just to close the loop on this one, some reader reviews on the philosophy bits of the story below. Bear in mind that this was in Loving Wives.

Amazing how you made academic topics so relevant and situationally illuminating. The Marcus Aurelius/Stoicism back and forth was especially pertinent and humerous (“of course a fucking Enperor would say that”). and making Kant relevant was another inspired moment. On a serious note, the Stoicism discussion was instructive. Fully useful counsel for all of us — kind of like Caitlin Clark modeling “cognitive reframing” for us (oh, to be schooled philosophically and psychologically by a blessed 23 year old).

Really well done, layered with philosophical history that added to the tale immensely.

Too much psycho-babble, it usually comes from the therapist but from a daughter...no way

Philosophy has never been my thing so I had to struggle through that a little bit, but the ends justify the means in the story. (LOL!)

Pseudo intellectual drivel with cardboard caricatures instead of characters.

I found they way they argued about philosophy while philosophizing kinda numerous.

I could certainly have done with about 70% less physchobabble but what a warm, believable tale.

Never expected to get an intro to philosophy class here. well written characters and I can understand the daughter's desires.

I am still laughing at the incel from Koenigsberg

Excuse me, do you have a moment for our Lord and Savior? Just kidding, you don't, because according to JME McTaggart reality is not temporal and all descriptions of time are circular, contradictory or insufficient.

“I would have married you. I would have loved you.” Her whisper was like a ghost that never lived. A life that could have been but never was.
