I was not “willed” to eat it, no. I was given the option of not eating, or eating what was provided. I grew up on food stamps, CCA, food banks and the like.

“Well, if you want to be pedantic”

You’re certainly a fan of hyperbole. No, I am not and did not suggest to “force it in his mouth.” Nor did I state that children don’t have food they dislike. I also never stated a lack of understanding that children will over time grow to like different foods. So, since we’ve covered the things I didn’t say, I’ll…

I’m in no way trying to tell you how to parent, but “won’t” eat? Heh, that’s just completely foreign to me. I guess it’s due to growing up and being told “this is what we have, eat it.” Other options weren’t simply provided because we didn’t “like” something, so the idea of telling my parents I flat out wouldn’t eat…

I’m assuming the hand gun/rifle that every geologist I’ve met carries just won’t fit in the pack? What about a lighter? Matches? Snake bite kit? This setup really seems like they are out for a day trip with their car less than a mile away and expect zero wild life.

My brother does R&D on electric vehicles at the Stuttgart Daimler complex, I’m forwarding him this piece to see how much of a laugh he gets out of it as well. He’s been saying for a long time that he wishes the German side of the company would get a English/colloquial teacher to help out with inter-company and pr…

Any professional suggestions on a “I am going to leave the country for a couple years and need a laptop to replace EVERYTHING I do on a desktop, including gaming, streaming, and it can weigh whatever” laptop? I have about a year to keep an eye on deals/new models, and with the new 10 series laptop video cards that…

You aren’t the topic of the discussion here.... the subjective “you” in my statement refers to those who are eligible in the future to be drafted.

The draft only applies those who turn 18 after Feb 2018. So while you remain draftable until 30-32, this will only apply those women who have recently turned 18. Those who turned 18 prior to Feb. 2018 are not grandfathered in.

Everyone needs a hobby.

The guy who made the new shadowrun games is the same guy who made the original tabletop battletech games :)

Reading a good portion of these replies of women commiserating regarding terrible guests makes me; a male, completely confused on one point. Why do you invite these terrible people? Why are they allowed to attend in the first place? I fully expect to have no say in my wedding; if I get married, but the whole idea of…

Having worked for Verizon as an interim job a few years back, I became familiar with a lot of subcarriers for Verizon. While working for verizon I was issued their first iphone, the iphone 4. But I found that using a nationwide-mom and pop subcarrier was still half as expensive even with my employee plan. The nice…

Has there been a position available prior to this that a trans person was the best person for the job for?

Would it be nice to have had an extended diversity earlier in his tenure? Absolutely. Do I blame him or place “criticism” upon him for not hiring someone purely for the sake of diversity? Nope.

As mentioned,…

There’s an aderall dispensary at the student center where I adjunct. It’s a far larger issue socially than just esports.

*Alleles dunno where that typo came from.

Nah, just an urban myth. The situation is the same with redheads. There’ll always be a chance for someone to be blonde or ginger so long as both of the parents share the same alles with the required trait. By people more frequently breeding outside of their societal norm, you’re actually spreading the blonde/ginger…

Here’s your mic back, you must have dropped it by accident.

A rape kit is merely used to collect evidence to support that claim, it does not automatically make the case a rape. No one has been arested or charged with rape at this point. The case is being handled with the charge that they can SUPPORT based on the immediate evidence at hand. Once a case for rape can be made, the…
