Found the skrull.  Everyone calls him Marty.

Thanks for the recs!  If I ever get enough free time to read again, I’ll have to look into it! T-T

Ooh!  I would’ve loved to have been a part of that class.  Admittedly, I’ve never read any of the Bond books and have only ever seen the films.  I enjoy them for what they are and try not to think too hard about the sexism.  I admit they’re problematic, but still enjoy them anyway.

I absolutely agree.  This is a very good take on the same concept at a much more macro level, and I am all for it.  I was just talking with my girlfriend’s family yesterday about how much I love the James Bond films, but will never include Connery in my top Bonds because of how sexist his films are.  This is…

I am pro-porn, but I do think that porn can exacerbate this kind of thing. The taboo of getting off on non-consenting people is glamorized in certain porn genres. The whole voyeur culture and the power fantasy of being able to rape someone who is basically your doll against their will (time stop fetish, being…

That article is from 2016, and even then it seems like they’re tied for the #2 spot of chocolate companies trying to reduce child labor in Africa by engaging with farmers and helping to make those communities more self-sufficient. So, it seems the issue lies more in Africa’s economic state and reliance on child labor…

I had a similar incident happen. I was driving home from work, and I was stopped at a light next to a cop. When the light turned green, I accelerated quickly to get/stay ahead the other cars, but threw on my cruise control to make sure I didn’t violate the speed limit. The cop came speeding up behind me and started…

I feel this so hard. I’m agnostic bordering on atheist and I want hell to exist simply to burn all of these fuckers for eternity.

I don’t clean the bottom of my shoes, but I make everyone take their shoes off when they get inside my apartment. I don’t need that (potentially literal) shit getting all over the inside of my apartment.

They don’t need it, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier.

It’s right side up for me, and oh my god what a beautiful face!!!!!! It looks very nuzzlable.

I’m really, really sorry that you’ve been through all of that. That’s a lot for any one person to deal with. I’m not going to patronize you and tell you that you shouldn’t take your life, but I do genuinely hope you find a reason to keep going and that things get better for you. After all, your dad is still alive now,…

I think Usain Bolt should be, yes. The fact is that there are outlying human specimens that are going to break the standard mold.

I, too, was at work, and it was a much needed distraction, lol! ^_^

Fuck you and your judgmental attitude. I have ADHD and as a kid, it caused me to have impulse control problems which meant I was more prone to violence. Not once was it ever used as an excuse for my behavior. It was an explanation to why I was reacting the way I was, but in no way did it excuse how I behaved. It did,…

Actually, it’s a great idea. “Hi, do you identify as a woman and have you been living as a woman for the past 6+ months? Great, welcome to the sport. Try outs are over there. Best of luck to you.” This would solve the trans issue as well.

I’m genuinely glad we had this talk. I think it let us both come to a better understanding of each other while better explaining our initial points.

And as you said, RDJ made a point of cleaning up and getting his act together. We both wish that everyone took his path. The fact remains that many people don’t get help, or don’t complete the help they’ve been sent to get, and even after given opportunity after opportunity, they’re still not in the right place to…

No, I fully understood what you meant. Maybe I was the one who was unclear.

Most of the times where a famous women is incapable of doing so points to underlying issues with the woman that are inescapable.
