Actually, I would say the sex is biological, gender is neurological, and gender roles are sociological. The distinction is important because it recognizes that mental gender is innate.

Well, when I was 13 I was just a girl surprised by boobs and periods. By the time I was 15... HUGE SLUT. They have a very small window.

Tyra's makeovers were always sorta cruel. She would take the prettiest girls, hack off all of their hair and bleach their eyebrows. Sad...

My dog went into the kitchen once, pulled out an empty chili container from the trash and brought it back to us. She plopped down in front of us and started to work on licking out the chili leavings. Like "HOW YOU GUYS DOIN'; I GOT CHILI." When we tried to take it from her she was like "EXCUSE ME, ASSHOLES THAT IS…

I actually dig it on actual models, but it looks tragic when done on the cheap for reality TV on girls with prominent foreheads.

"I made the decision in an attempt to de-escalate the conflict, and I readily admit that it had the opposite effect," he said in an email to parents. "I take full responsibility for the decision, and I apologize for the disruption it has caused.

I worked at Outback Steakhouse for a long time, and I remember my manager kicking two customers out on the spot, forcibly removing their dinner plates from in front of them. There had been a couple seated nearby (regulars there, sweetest people in the world), who just so happened to both be blind. And they would…

You'd think any school that forces its gay students to stay in the closet would be all about beards.

My ugly face was my birth control method as a teen.

That's medal-worthy. I'm not a fan of e-sports, but in that realm, this achievement is on par with winning a decathalon, while the other contestants throw javelins and discus' at you.

As someone who had an abortion, I really am offended by this. It's super insulting and patronizing. Especially since I am a religious person who feels that God really did want me to have an abortion.

I thought the same thing when I watched this. He's more concerned with making an internet famous video than actually knowing his rights. I loved it when the video dork cited the '5th amendment' and the cop pointed out that is not what it says at all. It is an idea which has a foundation based on the 5th amendment,…

Best way to help the case here is to politely give the police your insurance and license as requested, then take your video and file a lawsuit (or join a class action) to get the matter settled in court.

You should probably watch it.

I think this is the most reasonable and rational article on the subject I've ever seen on a Gawker site.

Yeah, the concept of lighthuggers is exactly what I thought of when Sarah commented. Ultras out there aging slowly as they zip between worlds, never having a connection to the people at their destination since generations have passed between stops, and taking chances with where they point their ship since you never…

Read anything by Alastair Reynolds. You would want to start with revelation space. It has a good mix between Science Fiction and actual Science mixed into it. Science fiction stuff would be like augmentations that allow humans to have unnatural lives and people never aging more slowly when traveling the speed of…

When I was a kid, I asked my parents why giving the middle finger was bad, and they told me it meant "go to hell". But we were atheists, so I didn't believe in hell. So I went around giving the finger to all the kids in my kindergarten class, to the dismay of my teacher, who did not accept "it's okay, I don't…

Ironically, she can learn all day long at school already about Saturn and Venus and distant planets that for all intents and purposes will never be real to her
