It's bad in BC, but holy fuck it's TERRIBLE in Alberta. I grew up in BC and then moved to Edmonton for 5 years, and I literally couldn't believe the shit I was hearing.

Waking up and deciding not to feel that thing that you're feeling isn't exactly a simple thing to do. And loads of people (myself included) have to be reminded not to be so hard on themselves. Not all of us are naturally self-forgiving.

Sometimes that's easier said than done.

I never thought of that. Good point.

Preach. I kind of have to admit, as someone who has been raped, I find it a little odd and maybe even offensive to refer to necrophilia as rape. Is it bad? Yup. But to me there seems something intrinsically different about forcing sex on someone who is alive and (often literally) kicking and having sex with a…

My husband works and I don't. His business requires that we don't have a joint account at his bank. So he has his business account, a chequing account and a couple savings accounts and his credit card at one bank. We then have a joint account, along with my savings accounts and my credit card at another bank. I'm the…

Easier said than done for people who have to fund their own education. I live in Canada where he tuition is substantially less, and even with some help from my parents I had to work part-time during school, full-time every summer and get student loans. There was no option of taking an unpaid internship because then I…

Not if both partners are adults that treat one another with respect, no. My husband and I never react to one another like that. I'm sorry that your experience has not been that way, but that certainly doesn't make it that way for everyone else.

Both my husband and I have siblings and we both sleep like logs when put in separate beds. Like, one night at my parents' place, we only slept for 6 hours (our usual is 10) in separate twins but woke up feeling like we had slept for days.

Took me about 2 weeks to get in to see a gynecologist here in Canada. And it would have been even faster if I was pregnant. I was just experiencing menstrual problems.

Plus the (possible) added time to make the "what am I going to do?" decision. I mean, for some women it's a quick "to a clinic with me" but for others it can take a good deal of time to both process and consider.

Well, given how often these "straight" homophobes end up caught with gay porn or prostitutes, it might be fair to say that some of them "refrain" from time to time.

"If you don't only have sex with people I think it's ok you have sex with, then you clearly have no moral sexual boundaries and would be just as likely to have sex with a child or an animal as you are to have sex with anyone else."

While I totally get your intention here and agree that she's absolutely stunning, we can't insist on body-positivity for curvy women and throw thin women under the bus to get it. I'm overweight myself, but I know women who would be really hurt by that "10 year old boy" comment because it insinuates that there is a way…

Oh it's definitely the same sauce at Subway. I was just getting at those weird ketchup bottles of "pizza sauce" you can buy at the grocery store vs the jars of marinara sauce you can buy in grocery stores. The difference between those two, I think, is sugar content.

As far as I can tell. And even if they're slightly different (something tells me that "pizza sauce" has more sugar in it) she sure as hell can eat both if she can eat one. "I can't eat that kind of sauce". What??? What sort of mystery allergen would be in marinara sauce and not "pizza sauce"??

Or you can easily make your own poo-pourrri. All it takes is 2 oz of water, 1/2 tsp of a clear alcohol, and 30 drops of essential oils (citrus or wood smells work best), and a spray bottle. Then it stops the bathroom from smelling bad in the first place instead of trying feebly to cover up an existing smell. Plus it…

oh I wasn't responding to the article, but to PrinceGumball saying that people don't get ecoli from produce.

Not if they were fertilized with poop from animals with ecoli.

I agree. It's frustrating when people react to some rapes as bad and others as a "grey area". I mean, when other violence is involved that's obviously worse, or if it results in pregnancy I can see that as being objectively worse. But, subjectively for the victim, I can tell you that date rape isn't "just" anything.…
