My friend and I left a party in brooklyn together, and I forgot my coat or something, so I asked her to hold my dog’s leash while I ran into get it. I ended up speaking with the host for about 5 (literally 5) minutes and when I came outside, my dog’s leash was looped on a fence and my friend was gone. we both had…

Alright, alright, alri-ight

Based on my sexual history I’m with you on these points. I guess it’s important to point out that everybody is different. But generally it starts with a touch, moves to a kiss, then tongue, then touching, etc. In my experience the only verbal questions come with actual penetration and whatever else you object to, you…

Everybody’s different. God only knows what’s happened here. But in my experience, new partners ask in some way before penetration, but other acts just happen and if you’re not into it, you move their hand or say “nah”. I guess there are people out there who feel like they can’t object? It begs the question, did she…

I had the same thought.

It seems that her plan was not to have the baby on her during her speaking role. Also, it seems that the baby is not in the classroom with her during her classroom lectures - the anecdote has the baby brought in and taken out for a question about gender. I can’t take my baby to work because I don’t have a private…

I feel like you didn’t read this piece. There are plenty of work environments that don’t allow you to bring a babysitter that can quickly shuttle a crying baby away but hers does.

I don’t understand what you’re saying

Right. Like I had favorites when I quit too but it’s not the end of the fucking world. I don’t know why people are so entrenched in their affection for things like fucking bacon. And ok, if you love it so much, what’s wrong with just eating LESS of it? There’s nothing you could suggest that wouldn’t just be too much…

I think people are going to tear you to pieces based on the other threads but I’m glad you’ve posted cuz I have a similar story. I was with someone for 12 years, an incredibly close and rewarding relationship during which time we both grew up and went through several really defining experiences. Unfortunately the…

How dare you suggest that we may have some kind of obligation to make responsible food choices. This is a war crime.

I swear though, all the other responses on here will be like gun nuts responding to a post about gun control. People are out of their fucking minds when it comes to what they put in their face.

Yeah people will balk at a plate that has no meat on it.

In order for all meat demands to be satisfied “ethically” and sustainably, people will have to limit their consumption. I think that’s the point being made here.

Quit talking sense. Don’t you realize that fish tastes good? What you are recommending is criminal.

Yeah I came on here to say something similar: if you limit your meat consumption to a reasonable amount, you’ve done everything you need to do to control your intake of salt, cholesterol and often, fat. Using low-sodium stock in your soup is gonna do way less good than just eliminating the beef from that soup. Meat…

It is sometimes like this, but not always.

You’re a college girl right? You sound like one! WHERE DO YOU LIVE

The narrative could be pretty different. My mom had a way she presented the family, and it was nothing like how she actually ran the family. And she blamed all our rebellious behavior on mental illness to cover for it. Keep that in mind.
