You know, I’m having a pretty shitty “nothing will ever be good” kind of day... but this made it just slightly better.

It’s mostly a joke because that seems to be the way that a lot of people react to these problems. It’s women’s issue, not the dudes who do the harassing. [I don’t know if that makes sense, I have bourbon in me.]

Well, you know, if you’re a woman and you don’t want to be harassed, just don’t go online. Or outside. Or really do anything.

Were people mad at Miley? Because I feel like I remember most of the ire being directed toward Robin Thicke...

Hm. Still weirdly into Casey Affleck.

I feel like my opportunity to do this passed me by.

If only I had known this was a completely reasonable thing to do.

I feel like she probably believes that going to jail is the right thing to do. Like it somehow justifies her decisions and probably makes Jesus love her more or something.

I believe you’re missing the part about the different developers. You have not time traveled.

Is Cosmo still doing weird shit like, “Bite his dick!” and “Put a pipe cleaner up his ass!”?

That’s a good idea. I’ll need to do some poking around at the places I may end up applying to. Hopefully I’ll end up in a situation where I can be at least semi-comfortable. Thank you for the advice!

This kind of thing scares me. I’ve heard things like this before - needing to wear heels and a skirt for professional things in academia - and as a genderqueer, masculine-leaning person getting their PhD, I have no idea what to do when I’m on the job market. Is it as strict as people make it out to be? :/

Hah! First person who came to mind for me, too.

I think I was about 14 (2002?) and I was with my mom in the mall. I was wearing really baggy, huge clothing and this much MUCH older guy (probably in his 60s?) was making eyes/faces at me when I walked by the jewelry store he was working in. I still feel gross.

If I had the money, I would 100% marry a rando just to have this happen.

If I eat enough while wearing lipstick, it becomes ombre. >.>

I always feel like I'm a little messed up because every time arguments about the death penalty come up, I can't help but feel like it isn't a real punishment. That may be because I have a more positive view of death than most people (again... a little messed up), but it just seems like letting someone off the hook…

Geek Chic Cosmetics has some kind of fun lipstick type things (I have a purple from them that I love... it also tastes like cake). They're also a company that produces vegan products, if that was factoring into your desire to shop at Lime Crime at all.

A lot of that might be cultural norms though? I mean, in a country where circumcision is the norm, a lot of guys feel weird if they're not circumcised. Were you doing this in a country where most men were circumcised or where most men weren't?

My story is not great and probably realistically doesn't even meet the requirements for this, buuuut...

Technically, I think most of the current research shows that the brain isn't fully developed (including decision making regions) until about 24 or 25.
