"Why would I be discriminating? I'm not discriminating at all. I'm just asking which washroom would they use? How can you go into a men's washroom dressed as a lady, how can you go into ladies washroom when you're a man. That's the difficulty I have."

But isn't part of the character's entirely storyline that she is like the ultimate case of someone being influenced by her experience with the Doctor? I mean, maybe she didn't change that much during her time in the TARDIS—though I don't really think that's entirely true—because she had been fundamentally, radically

I just realized that it's likely that there were two Rories and two Amies living in the UK for a while. If at the beginning of the season, it had been two months since they last saw the Doctor, then it was two months after the end of last season. But he must have brought them back to a time before that—and given them

Oh! Thanks. I couldn't remember what Petrichor was.

She couldn't know any other regenerations of the Doctor—otherwise she'd have known that Eleven wasn't his last body, and she'd have known that he doesn't actually die in Utah.

But was it devastating because they told you, or because they cheated? I mean, it's not like you not-knowing actually made a difference in how they treated you.

Apparently going sunbathing topless is helpful if you plan to breastfeed. I remember reading in my college's alumnae magazine once (women's college—it was a long article about breastfeeding and the pressures women feel about all things breast-feeding/formula-related) that a woman who got pregnant when she lived in

We got a carpet-covered cylinder with a section of wicker-like textured surface. The cats use that more than they use the rug-covered part. It's not just cardboard, it's actually like woven wood. They also love my beautiful wicker shelf, sigh.

Make sure the cats have lots of space above the reach of the dog. We have no cat-only areas in my apartment (it's not really feasible given the layout) but there are plenty of shelves and chests and such that are accessible to cats but not the dog. My dog rarely chases the cats, but sometimes he mixes them up with

I am allergic to cats, but I live with three of them (I frequently snuggle my face in their fur, because I'm nuts). Flonase has been amazing.

What would happen to the dog when you weren't home? I don't understand how you could have a dog only half the year unless someone else was taking care of it.

Gender might influence something like humping—my dog (man-dog) humps other male dogs, and humps some female dogs, and male dogs hump him, but I don't think I've ever seen a female dog hump a male dog. But a dog's upbringing is going to have a lot more of an impact on its behavior in an aggression-sense than it's

Actually he could have already killed people, but nobody knows about it (yet).

I know this is slightly off topic but I feel compelled to point out that Edison was a total douche and let's not use him as an example of people bringing goodness into the world because he was a total albatross hanging around the neck of innovation and Truth and Beauty and all that is Good in the world.

It just seems like it would be hard to enjoy work that explicitly endorses bigotry in itself. As n3onkn1ght pointed out, OSC's work is mired in his own hatred and psychotic issues with various groups ("Rose the Nose" etc). So I just can't imagine actually enjoying a book whose existence hinges on antisemitism and

It's not quite like, "It doesn't matter how good or true the statement might be, if Hitler said it, it's wrong."

Yes, you could say that all men are schrodinger's rapist. That's why the phrase exists. And it may be broad, but it is certainly not an unhelpful stereotype. Certainly not unhelpful to women, who tend to get raped.

OMG. "What if it all led to something that Moreno thought was consensual?"

All cops are schrodinger's rapists. It's not like there's been one case of rapey cops—it's not an uncommon thing, cops breaking laws and abusing their power—and women can't expect cops to keep them safe.
