The dragons historically have some pretty insane scheduling conflicts. Last I heard Drogon was serving 10 months for frying a couple herds of sheep plus some serious property damage somewhere in northern Denmark.

Back in the 70's I had a chance to go to college early with a full scholarship, skipping high school altogether. The college had reached out to me and sent me paperwork to fill out, which I did, and my father took the envelope and told me that he would drop it in the mail on his way to work. I was so excited, and I…

oh, the irony — to see this article written by the same author, who chastised Sweden for not adopting the law on sex without consent as rape earlier.

Jezebel’s repeated and total erasure of the voice of trafficking victims is disgraceful. The total ignorance displayed about the anti-sex trafficking organisations and survivors who supported and advocated for this legislation is embarrassing. The changes made in mark up are clearly beyond this site’s ability to…

Nah, just leave it dissolved. If the cost of having sports is this shit we don’t need sports.

I totally feel you on this. I recently started a job with very nice people but I’m doing work that I’ve decided I really dislike, and I’m several years past the point of burn out with this kind of work. Survival is important, though, and my only advice (that I wish I would take myself), is to work on your side hustle…

Politics are one of my passions, but given the current state of things, it’s not a healthy one. I have a lot of ideas and ambitions but there isn’t a clear path to realizing them. I know it takes baby steps to build habits and get to what you want. I’ve started planning one meal a day with the aim for nutrition which…

I felt the most fulfilled when I volunteered at the local hospital, but that was back when I was a student and had a tiny twice a week job house sitting on weekends. I’m a full time mom now and miss my volunteer duties and am considering going back once my kiddos are in school. I have only worked retail service jobs…

I just need to vent. I recently adopted a puppy who is such a sweetheart, but she is very timid and shy. I live in a city and immediately next to the fire department, so being shy and afraid of loud noises is not an option. We have made a lot of progress in the last month, but she still runs away from strangers.

I’m starting to write a novel. It’s actually a story I’ve had in my head since I was about 10 years old, but I only just found the motivation to start it. Good god, if I wrote this while I was 10 it would’ve been terrible. Like, the ending was just the Battle of Minas Tirith from Return of the King. Oh me from the…

I have been absolute ball of stress for the last few months between grad school, work, and family. At times, I’ve felt truly depressed and like I would never stop being unhappy. Today I finished what needed to be finished and now I get to just rest. I hope that any of you that are feeling the pressure are doing ok and…

No, no. I’m pretty sure the rules state that you get to rape a child for every traumatic event in your life. Since he survived two traumatic events, he gets to rape at least one more child before any punishment is meted. Though to be fair, he gets a bonus child rape for making that movie with Jack Nicholson and Faye…

Usually rapist tend to think they didn’t rape.

Plus that 14 year old looked at least 16, and 14+16=30. So it should be legal!

If Mr Polanski wants to be reinstated, he should be able to be reinstated. Provided that he submit written justification for reinstatement in person to the Academy’s offices in California.

Oddly, my plantar fasciitis went away when I started wearing Vibram five fingers. As did my shin splints. I think barefoot should always be a viable option.

People who wear shoes inside the house beyond the front door are monsters.

This is true.

It’s so comforting to know it only takes 100 assaults for this to become a priority.

I’m curious if there are stats available re. rate of assaults by regular cab drivers? Is uber more dangerous or statistically comparable to riding in a regulated cab?
