The men who do that are part of the feminist movement, which was formed precisely to talk about and try to fix exactly those issues.

“Everyone is or should or can be made into a soldier” is news to me, too, so I suppose we’re both deeply surprised by each other.

In that case, none of this should bother you. I really like humanity, which is why I am deeply upset by the impact this is going to have on some of us.

Right? It sounds like the Italian lady knows her win was a combo of playing her best and not meeting Serena on her best day, and is proud of the job she did while acknowledging that. We can be happy for her and sad for Serena at the same time.

Yes. Why don’t they just go back where they came from and fight?

a staggering 42% of all Americans still ascribe to a creationist interpretation

Imagine also that like most Americans, most of these people are even less prepared to drop everything and go than you - if you’re not a regular camper, you’re not going to have stuff lying around that would make staying in the wilderness easier. I lived in Sudan for a while, also, and I can say that there, camping is…

Exactly. These are people whose lives were largely the same as ours, until they were upended by situations the individuals had nothing to do with. They grabbed exactly what any of us would take if we had to run from our home or office.

There’s someone else on this thread saying they saw something similar more than once as an employee, so I’m going to say it probably happens more than you’d think. If a company is willing to bend over backwards for the upset customers who get the wrong thing, it’d be pretty easy to keep it quiet - it’s only when you…

Right? I mean, obviously most people who aren’t gunning hard to get noticed by People of New York aren’t going to wear these all at once. But it’s not like they can style for the runway the way we style in real life, by throwing some other brand’s plain black t-shirt over that blue floral skirt from the second picture…

I never had terrible periods (very heavy, but not particularly painful) but I like using the pill to choose when I have one - I schedule it in around vacations and things. A few times, I went multiple months without one, but eventually I would start to get that pre-period ‘something is stirring’ feeling regardless,…

Depending on how evil you are, you could drop the “secret” into a relative’s ear and time how long that little nugget takes to travel to the parent’s ears. Hopefully it’ll hit just as they’re cutting the cake, or right before the toasts!

I’m very excited about being 30, because I feel that’s the age when I won’t have to explain away my age in arguments - I’m not just a dumb kid, we just disagree as equals.

I work for an organization that administers the national test for a licensed profession, and I can tell you that while multiple-choice tests are common, not all multiple-choice tests are equal. A lot of people pay SAT-prep companies, for example, whose main job is to teach them how to take the test rather than…

I submitted my answers, and was dismayed with the results, until I realized that the site had failed to record my responses to some questions, despite the fact that I answered all of them.

Eh. Act like a whiny child in public, get treated like a whiny child by the grown-ups. That doesn’t constitute censorship, but I suppose I can’t fault your consistancy in the whiny childishness game.

Then may I suggest that the grown-up internet may not be the appropriate place for you, and point you instead in the direction of the McDonald’s Play Space?

Jesus, people must be fucking delicate.

Also, if Cathy doesn’t have a job, and Mary couldn’t sign for her loans, who the shit is paying for this wedding? If it’s Mary, she should pony up and pay the loans of the irresponsible kid she raises, to spare her sister the consequences. I mean, my dad did a school project for me once in 4th grade when I was…
