I completely agree. A few years ago I was hit on while walking down the street and it wasn’t creepy because I could tell that if I said no then he would go away. That’s literally the only example of that I have. Women get really good at recognizing creeps. Be polite. Express your interest. Accept her response. No…

Yes. Also squirrels are just muscly rats. Don’t be fooled by the fluffy tail!!!

Agreed! I leave a pair of flat shoes at my desk just for days when my calves are killing me... No way does some safari park mega boss not have something more appropriate than stilettos hanging around.

My sister and I were always reading ahead of our ages, but my dad read to us right up until I was probably 12? He read us all the Narnia books and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I have a somewhat rough relationship with him now, but those memories have gotten me through some of the tougher times.

Yeah, I wish they had done it differently, like interspersed it with episode 6. I liked some of the stuff we learned, and agree with someone above about Eleven needing some space to make her own choices, but it could have been much less boring.

Those are the same numbers I was looking at but you can’t add 14 and 6 to get the total proportion. If 100 boys and 100 girls are molested, there are 20 female offenders, but there are 200 incidents, which is 10%. Now obviously there are probably not an equal number of boys and girls, but girls are more likely to be…

Women are only about 10% of offenders. It’s absolutely true that it gets downplayed when the victim is male (he should be happy/proud to get the attention), and I don’t in any way condone that, but when 90% of offenders are men I think it’s fair to say that sexual abuse is a male problem.

So. Many. Screens. I have screen envy.

As someone with a minor fear of stuffed toys this is not my favourite desk.

This somehow looks exactly like I would imagine an EA’s desk would have. So prepared and organized. I’m jealous.

In terms of usefulness I think your duct tape outweighs a lot of my collection. I’m enjoying all the pictures of people’s desks - thanks for starting a trend!

Iron supplements, hot sauce, nail polish, liqueur, off brand icy heat, and a tea pot. Ready for anything.

Agreed. It’s got more flavour and I like the texture.

As a former journalist who didn’t even have to fully transcribe I definitely have respect for this skill. All I needed was a couple of good quotes and I’d want to shoot myself by the end. I hate transcription with the entirety of my being.

This is my mother in law’s actual house. Also bland pastoral scenes and angel statues.

I own a skirt in that exact material and I am SO MAD. She doesn’t have the right to own something that cool. :/

I think these different effects are highly personalized. Red wine rarely gives me a hangover, but some beer (and I don’t know which until I try them...) will leave me dead the next morning, even if I only have a couple.

Yeah, the sugar does me in. When I switched to gin and soda instead of gin and tonic my hangovers essentially disappeared unless I truly over-indulge, and the rarity of those nights makes the hangover kind of worth it. Makes me feel young again.

Good point... this is the most likely explanation. People are hardly ever actually thinking about you when you think they are.

This morning the part of the changing room I was in was completely empty and this older woman in a towel came and stood right opposite me, using the same bench, and proceeded to strip completely, then apply moisturizer, perfume, I don’t know what else because I was purposely not looking but it felt really intentional.…
