If a child is masturbating, and has discovered that they can pleasure themselves (sans external influence) what are you to say that they cannot be left to enjoy themselves. I masturbated when I was 5 years old, and no adult was involved. I see nothing wrong with this as there was no harm done to me or anyone else.

Dude, I discovered pool jets when I was like 5 years old. Definitely NOT molested. Why is it so weird that adults think that it’s weird for kids to actually touch themselves and get enjoyment from it?

Um, most of these people are millenials, so we’ve all “been there, done that”, I guess. Hurrah, minimal income! This is like the affordable step up from renting shitty apartments4life.

Only on international flights. On domestic North American flights, you have to pay for alcohol. And food. :/

This is the crux of the matter. If the plane did have unexpected turbulence, or if it did have a seriously miscalculated landing/take-off where a seat belt would have prevented people from flying out of their seats, that child would have been severely injured. Honestly, United should absolutely NOT get off so easily…

And what does gluten have to do with lactose intolerance?
Talk about non-sequitor.

You must know only white people. Lactose intolerance is a major issue for people who come from parts of the world where milk has not historically been consumed beyond infancy. Most other animals lose the ability to digest the sugar lactose because the enzyme lactase is only expressed during infancy when a baby would…

There is, just not in parts of Western and Eastern Europe due to the fact that these populations have historically for hundreds of years consumed milk products, so fewer people lose the ability to digest lactose. Some people are aware. I lived in Germany (I’m Canadian) for a few years, and still found the milk…

this looks like a badly repurposed Klan mask. o_0

I definitely did, when I was ten yrs old. We also sold chocolate chip cookies that we actually baked. I also totally bought lemonade from a kids’ stand last summer.

Don’t forget COPS... and that one weird moment in our collective histories where Scully and Mulder a la X-Files combined with COPS for an awkward chupacabra episode. Yes. The 90's were fucking weird.

When I was four years old, I was hanging out with my cousins and I got so thirsty that when one of my cousins handed me a bottle of bubble-blowing liquid (for blowing bubbles, of course), I tried to drink it before realizing what I was doing. Thankfully that stuff is basically just dish soap and nothing worse. ;)

I think the point being made here is that you can have all of your protein, carbs, and veggies/fruits in different meals, so long as you’re getting them throughout the day. If I eat cereal with milk in the morning, I’m only getting protein and carbs and that’s totally fine if I have veggies in other meals like lunch…

Yeah, remember the ‘good old’ days when we thought all shooters wore black trenchcoars and listened to Marylin Manson. They may have also been white. :/

I visited Sicily a few years back. Upon arriving, I was greeted with the words, “Welcome to North Africa”. There is still a major rift between northern and southern Italy. Those old European prejudices still hold strong. Ask any Brit, German, or French person about their thoughts about the Brits, French, or Germans…

And Martin Shkreli.

I plan on hopefully seeing Hidden Figures in theatres tomorrow. I’m still debating whether I should take the day off. I’m the token woman in an all male lab and I’ve been working longer hours the past few weeks. Been feeling burnt out lately which provides an ample excuse.

Apparently, 30 % of the hotels in Amsterdam are infested with bed bugs. You’re welcome. ;)

There is also a LOT of denial regarding bed bugs - people actually feel embarrased to admit that their house is infested. My mom used to work as an at-home-hospice nurse and one of her patients definitely had bed bugs because a few weeks later, she noticed that she had an small infestation at home (we caught it quick,…

My 7 year old sister managed to accidentally knock over my Grandfather’s stone after she stood next to it, wrapped her arms around it and leaned back - I don’t think she realized just how precarious it was. If a seven year old could do it, then... :/
