Yes, in the case of cats they climb, groom, walk, balance, and defend themselves largely using those last joints. It’s significantly more physically impactful (debilitating) than a human having the last joint of their fingers amputated.

A lot of that is tied to medical tech breakthroughs, like sonograms and heartbeat monitors. Doctors (and more importantly, hospitals) began tracking fetal growth/movement/etc. more thoroughly as new tech was made available. Once people could see a “heartbeat” — and by the way, it’s not that simple, but it’s made to…

Since you’re focused on personal opinions and anecdotes regarding division of household labor, here are many, many personal anecdotes—annotated and organized—about exactly this subject.

His shorts smelled like musty penis

This concept of finding the lowest acceptable level of comfort puts the onus entirely on Fairboxie to compromise. In your effort to find a common ground, you over-correct and go entirely to the other side.

Thanks, I checked out his post history. I think he might genuinely believe what he’s saying (even if he is way stuck on it). Since he was already in the black, I figured there’s no harm in responding in good faith, and I was in that kind of mood.

Yeah, men judge women primarily based on their looks. Why? Well, if men are expected to pursue women, that really is the number one thing we have to go on.

There are two main things that aren’t translating in your discussion here.

Aww!

Because they were wearing camo, and in his backyard. It was their responsibility to identify themselves in order to not get shot, not his. Their ridiculous cover was not worth his life.

It’s definitely true. He got in a bad accident and had extensive plastic surgery.

It’s kind of amazing, now that you bring it up. (I like husky dog eyes, and yeah, she has eyes like that.)

I feel bad for this young woman because she is just now learning that the same groups that have been “supporting” her choice to not have an abortion are about to turn on her entirely. They do not care about her or her future or her child’s future at all. Even though anti-abortion groups are pressuring the school to…

I think that Part I, Season I of The Get Down was electrifyingly good, but I binged it over a weekend, which I think probably makes a huge difference in terms of keeping all the expansive plots together.

I find it interesting that you consider the conversation you linked to “getting flamed.” People are often culturally conditioned to believe that women are the more emotional gender. Growing up in a conservative household, I often heard this bias: women argue with feelings, men with facts. While that in and of itself…

The majority of the cases quoted in this article specifically mention traffic misdemeanors — things like having lapsed insurance, not having a seatbelt buckled, or negligible speeding — not the DUIs you’re bringing up.

I don’t know if you realized, but my comment was not in support of Comey. It was very much a criticism.

Comey is Ned Stark. Very misguided, much at fault, probably trying pretty hard.

Of course, my argument is against you—you didn’t make any salient points about American Gods. (Saying you think something has “bad writing” without any examples of writing to back it up up is meaningless.) That’s why I ended my last comment by noting I wasn’t even getting into a critique of the show.

Fair warning: CanYouFeelTheLoveTonight is a fool who loves to argue in the defense of nonsense disguised as genuine opinion. I wouldn’t expend too much time on trying to convince her of anything; she can’t hear you through the echoing inside her head.
