Hey, sometimes, you gotta let the gods decide for you, my friend. Best of luck, either way.

I think there's a problem in how we talk about these things. We act like once you make that decision, you're stuck. No take-backsies! But that's not really the case. Companies, relationships…we make a decision, get halfway through, and if we're like nah, this was the wrong choice, we go "but I decided, and I've…

Well, all babies pre-1960's or 1970's were born with their mothers swilling beer and smoking. That alcohol/tobacco thing is pretty recent.

My favorite I didn't know I was pregnant was a skinny Irish lady in a rock band who gained about 5 lbs during the pregnancy that her bandmates attributed to chips and beer. She had always had irregular periods, and spotted occasionally during the pregnancy, so that combined with the lack of weight gain ... she had no…

Not the only one. I reread it like 5 times in shock til I read it right.

I think he'll actually have to kill a cop, not just harm one. He got a free pass for threatening to kill FBI agents already.

At which point he'll become Hispanic for sure.

George Zimmerman is walking, breathing proof that you can get away with anything in this country, so long as you only aim your crimes at people with fewer socioeconomic privileges.

Yeah, I read that and was like, "what do you no consequences"? I mean, there are consequences of rape far more extensive than what happens to the rapist—namely: pain, anguish, shame, emotional scarring, and psychological issues for the victim. I mean, if you say that there are literally no consequences (including…

Just to touch on the subject of "men don't understand rape"... I've been thinking lately that they really don't, on a physical level.

I know you're not on here asking for advice, but if I were in your position I would do both. Having a child while going to school is hard and far from ideal, but not impossible either. It might be insanely difficult, but only in the short-run. If you can somehow get through it, in the long-run you would have both a…

This is exactly how I got raped. I was hooking up with a friend of mine. I have vaginismus and a whole fun host of issues (and at the time, even a positive HIV test, which he knew about. It was a false positive, but he didn't know that at the time), I said no penetrative intercourse.

thank you for strengthening my resolve to never do the dishes.

I think that's important to note, because if we're being honest, there's a SLEW of awful, terrible and illegal things I would do if I was assured there would be no consequences. I have a small number of people who have deeply hurt me who would be deeply hurt (or worse) themselves, I would obtain money through force,…

Righhhht. And if you rape someone, you're a rapist. Despite what you think you are or what you think you feel about women.

One day I was in a big hurry to get ready for my shitty retail job where my boss would bitch at me if I was a minute late. In the process of getting my jeans on I managed to step on the tail of my meanest cat, and she attacked my leg. I finished getting my pants on and ran out the door, not really feeling any pain. It…

I once severed my tongue (did you know they could reattach those?) in a library, on the first day after their renovations (I ended up volunteering there 15 years later, it was apparently legend.) I tripped and bit it clear off.

I want this on a really, really long bumper sticker.

One of the biggest lessons I got of my adult life is learning that, unless a choice will kill you or hurt you physically/mentally/economically in a way you can't come back from, all the stress over choices is silly.
