You'll be fine! Better than that, you may even enjoy yourself!

Okay, relationship question. Went on a date with a guy back in November. We went on two more dates since then, which is slow, I know, but we're both really busy. We've texted back and forth a bit over the past two weeks, but haven't met up. I asked him out on the last one, so I kind of feel like it's his move now. …

I love oysters... in both the euphemistic and literal senses

It's even better, actually— it's 100% more! (increasing by 50% would mean there are half as many men as there are women, and now I have to apologize for being a nitpicky math major, sorry) Go out there and get some!

You can't resell diamonds anyway. Here's a pretty interesting article on how the industry was created, and why diamonds aren't an investment at all: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/1982/02/have-you-ever-tried-to-sell-a-diamond/304575/

AND the use of "transgendered" in the headline.

No one gets to use my bodily resources without my consent. No one gets to use my blood, skin, organs, etc. without my permission. That includes a fetus.

She also based a hero off of a sociopath who murdered and dismembered a child, then…

I know I'm late to this party, but I did this yesterday. It was fucking horrible.

Haha, yeah, remember that time when I was a teenager and this guy broke my trust and psychologically abused me, and then I lost all my friends and people told me I should die? High school was RIDICULOUS, man.

Good for you! But you have to realize your experience is COMPLETELY different from hers: you voluntarily took a job exposing your body to others; the writer didn't. You weren't victimized; the writer was. Taking that into account, it's easy for me to understand why the writer feels more ashamed of her mistakes and…
