"My two cents" - so, in other words, "my knee-jerk reaction."

Well that's not as bad then. But that still leaves about $800,000 out of $2 million that didn't go to charitable purposes. That is not a good percentage for a charity.

I teared up a little bit reading this.

Harry Potter is not a mystery novel. You're not *supposed* to know exactly who Voldemort is at the end of the first book. That's not the point of the series at all.

And better for storing stuff I needed to bring to a second date.

If you live in NYC I can virtually guarantee you've been around a trans person at some point but you just didn't realize it. I know two trans people from the years I spent living in Oklahoma (albeit in Norman, which is a semi-liberal college town).

I think a lot of things are fascinating about trans identities, the…

What would you give to charity, and which ones?

Maybe they're supposed to be totally random, but they shouldn't be. A 1-game playoff after a 162-game regular season just doesn't make any sense at all. There's already a lot of random variability in a best-of-5 series just because every starting pitcher's different. Staking the entire season on one game where 3 or 4…

Those customers sound legitimately terrible, but I have to say . . . if you're an Apple store and you run out of iPhones, you're doing something wrong. Particularly if this happens to you every day.

By "bad" I mean the harm done to rape victims would outweigh the benefits to accused rapists, and by "unnecessary" I mean the bill serves no practical purpose since major news outlets do not publish rape victims' names unless the victim specifically allows them to (as Erin Gloria Ryan pointed out). The fact that I am…

You are totally wrong about Symphony bars. I grew up in New Hampshire - both sides of my family are from there - and I saw those all the time. So, you can definitely get them on the East Coast.

I thought I read someone else saying in a comment (on something else) that they had a friend whose attraction was based mostly on biological sex. I think they said their friend was bisexual but wouldn't date trans people? I can't remember for sure. And that seemed to me to be what HS was describing in her friend as…

I'm not judging HS's friend. Just trying to understand. And I think attraction that's mostly based on gender identity and attraction that's mostly based on biological sex are (probably?) both things, but I don't know the proper terms for it.

So she's open to dating anyone, regardless of their gender identity, who has a vagina? I don't know the language that would be used to describe it but it seems some people's orientation is more based on gender identity and others' orientation is more based on biological sex.

In my limited experience, very few gay guys actually have long hair. It seems to be much, much more common on straight guys.

Thank you so much! That actually worked. I am now Specialist Snowflake.

I understand that headlines need to be provocative and interesting to attract readers. What I can't stand are misleading headlines or headlines that don't tell me what the story is about. I shouldn't have to read the story to gain a sense of what it's about.

You can make some good mixed drinks with it, but vodka by itself is not good, IMO.

Wait, what? They go to England together.
