That’s not really comparable, though. People of color have extremely few roles in Hollywood and mainstream media, so when a role that people expect to be a POC goes to a white person, that loss is significant. The same is not true in reverse, there is a metric ton of roles for young attractive cis white women.

This is a tremendously disappointing article. The study you site is contradicted by several other articles which have found that the fluid expelled during squirting isn’t urine, though I suppose the fact that it’s inconsistent with most other research isn’t surprising given that it only included a sample size of seven…

I honestly don’t understand this point. Obviously this is highly subjective, but if we’re discussing credibility implied by format rather than content, it seems to me that a written argument seems much more credible than a filmed one.

I wonder if the moment everyone graduates from high school we forget what an “essay” is. The essay is a persuasive format, meant to convince the audience of the thesis, and your thesis should not be a fact.

It actually only includes one romance option, the others are basically location-based flirtations, except for the women, who exist to 1 Be catty and jealous or 2 officiate the wedding.

So I don’t want to be cruel, I know a lot of work went into this mod, and I was actually really excited when this was announced! I got into modding in the first place when I discovered romanceable NPC mods for Baldur’s Gate II, I’ve always found it kind of immersion-breaking that PCs and follower NPCs, attractive…

That is kind of a tired trope, but it’s a remake, so you kind of have to judge it in comparison to the original.

My boyfriend was out on a business trip during the election, got back Wednesday night, and it was the first time ever that he’s come back and we haven’t had sex because we were both too depressed.

Those states are not “safe” IMO. But take it up with them! Not third party voters in actual safe states. There’s a massive difference no one is acknowledging.

I had (emphasis on the past tense) a friend who wrote in “Bernie Sanders”, saying he couldn’t vote for Clinton because “The DNC betrayed Bernie.”

Probably. Also part of the ~50% of the American electorate that didn’t even bother to vote.

I supported Bernie in the primaries, and I was as upset as anyone when he didn’t win the nomination. But I voted for Hillary, and I would do so again a thousand times over.

In fairness, if someone in the household actually has a gluten intolerance, that gets very difficult if there’s still gluten being eaten by other people in the house. My niece has Celiac’s, and we (children included) switched to gluten-free while she was with us just to make things safer for her. It’s easy enough to…

Don’t apoligize! Thanks for encouraging my head-canon.

Honestly, I never minded their romantic past in Batman Beyond. In BTAS, I think she was a teenager and Bruce was at least in his mid-twenties, and that’s just plain predatory, but after several years, once she’s an established adult professional who’s been working with him as an equal for a decade or so, that’s a much…

Of course people can’t make up their own rules: no one’s arguing that convincing someone to commit suicide should be legal, but there’s a reason many people are considered not guilty by reason of insanity. Once again, I’m not one of her psychologists so I don’t know whether this applies to her, but once again, comprehe…

So I like going hairless (no judgment if you don’t, it’s your and you can do with it what you like), but I totally don’t understand the groom-before-doctor thing.

I’d guess that she’d legitimize him (if he wanted to be legitimized, he may prefer to keep the Stark name), but I doubt she’d be willing to give up the throne.

Jon may be the only son of the heir, but since the heir wasn’t king when he was killed, succession might have gone to Rhaegar’s younger siblings rather than his child. And the last Targaryen King’s only living (legitimate) child is Dany.

Not necessarily. Not to get overly technical, but giving birth is the greatest natural cause of oxytocin in the brain, and one of the primary effects of oxytocin is to cause and strengthen bonding. This is not to say that the feelings of the woman aren’t incredibly important, or that there aren’t women who resent…
