That’s true. I sometimes moderate on OKC and that’s one of the big things photos get flagged for. I suspect those accounts are people who want to use the site anonymously for some reason. Without posting a photo you can’t view anyone else’s photos, so it would make sense to use a stock photo or something of the sort.

I think it’s more likely that you’re an unfortunate victim of the bizarre gender roles of online dating. As a woman, I ignore literally 99% of the messages I get from men because that’s the behavioral norm when I’m not interested in someone. Men know the whole thing is a numbers game and message any woman they find…

Yup. I can’t feel any difference when I squirt and didn’t even know it happened the first time until my partner said, “holy shit, you’re a squirter!” My partners have historically enjoyed it way more than I have since for me it basically just feels like a normal, pretty good orgasm. I’ve never encountered a woman who…

Hair dye help please! I have flaming ginger hair that I’m planning to dye purple for burning man, but I don’t want to bleach it because my real hair is so darn puuurdy. I did a test strip and it came out pretty dark, and I’m a little worried it won’t look great without bleach. I’m going to use Manic Panic and would…

Pretty sure the Aurora shooter came in through the emergency exit. Checking purses isn’t going to stop someone with a semi automatic weapon. This is as stupid as making people take their shoes off in airports and is clearly aimed more at giving people peace of mind than at actually preventing murder.

That definition of burner kids is actually hilarious.

I was raped during my time at a different prep school and didn’t know enough to identify it as rape until years later. The sex ed I had gotten was so lacking that I literally didn’t even know what constituted rape. It doesn’t excuse what my rapist did, but I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have identified it as rape either.

Burner kids are the shit, I’m kinda mad my parents never brought me. Also, radical inclusion includes burners of all ages.

The potential move to Utah is unrelated to the bugs, people are taking two rumors and assuming a connection that doesn’t exist. The talk of moving the burn has to do with new taxes passed in Nevada that are specifically aimed at burning man, which are part of a long list of regulations that might be avoided if the…

They’re supposed to be under strict supervision, but there’s only so much that can be done. The teachers who live in the dorms have other commitments like teaching and coaching and the dorms are frequently left unsupervised throughout the day. Everyone knows how to break coed and everyone knows the spots around campus…

It’s because people love being cynical and it’s a super easy stat to remember and throw around. Plus it makes everyone feel better about themselves—if you’re still married you’re beating the odds, and if you’re divorced it’s no big deal because the odds were against you anyway.

I agree on the entitlement issue and the fact that weddings aren’t the most important day of anyone’s life (pretty sure that conception, birth, meeting your partner, having children, etc., rank higher than a symbolic commitment ceremony). BUT, the 50 % stat is total bunk and most people actually do only have one…

Feathers in general are strongly discouraged at Burning Man. Whoever was in charge of this either doesn’t know what they’re doing, or is intentionally catering to idiot burners.

“Stir fry,” which really just means whatever sad veggies I have in my fridge chopped up, cooked, and seasoned with some cumin, maybe over some quinoa if I’m feeling really ambitious.

No, but adolescent brains lack the maturity to fully understand the consequences of behaviors, and these girls also evidently couldn’t fully differentiate fantasy and reality given that they believed they were carrying out the murder for a mythical being. There’s a reason children aren’t allowed to do things like…

Yes, because all the details of this case scream adult level cognitive processes/judgement.

Nah actual science confirms this. The idea that women are the ones who fall hard and fast and beg men to stay is a total myth. Men have been shown to fall in love much faster and stay in love long after the woman has fallen out of love. Women are usually the ones to end relationships.

I have that same one, and her postcards that I like to color and mail to people. Even the postcards take me a couple hours each! They’re all so pretttyyy though, I just couldn’t resist.

I lucked out too and got along well with all the dads I worked for. I can’t imagine how awful it would be to work for a skeeze ball who’s always making passes or blatantly checking you out or something. Sometimes I’d stay late and hang out to chat with the moms or both parents together, but I always felt like it would…

Oh yeah I didn’t mean to say that women are less upset if a man cheats with a less attractive woman, but rather that women don’t get jealous/worried that their husband will cheat with someone he knows who’s less attractive. I’m not actually sure which is more upsetting—being cheated on with a less attractive or more…
