Please tell me you’re not one of those people that also think rich folks who want to/can care for children should be the only ones having sex.

I can’t speak for what your BIL’s experience is, but I can say that for me, it’s really hard to go to your parents and say “I need help with these things” when they’ve gotten SO ANGRY at you for acting in irrational ways or losing your shit that they’ve turned around and spanked you for it. Because it’s basically…

Poor wee lamb... seriously, though, he does seem to come by the whininess/temper pretty honestly. I can really only hope that our reaction to him is pretty much the exact point. It does seem to be pretty easy to forget that we’re shown he does have some pretty remarkable control over his abilities (the frozen blaster…

My parents: spanked me for not handing in classwork on time.

I can’t blame my particular mental health issues on anything but genetics, because they’re genetic, but on the other hand, none of my complete picture of mental unwellness was ever helped by growing up knowing that my parents could and would hit me. Or the fact that it actually took me a long time to unlearn the…

“Hey, like, I just had to kill my dad! And Uncle Chewie shot me! And then I had to chase Rey and that traitor Stormtrooper through the cold forest! And then I had to try to kill that Stormtrooper! Rey’s not THAT great! Whine, bitch, moan, et cetera! Dammit, I’m posting about this to my tumblr.” - Kylo Ren

It’s either fear her, or fear for her, for all the same reasons: Luke is told that he has to “unlearn all that he has learned”—he learned a lot of particularly biased stuff from Uncle Owen, so he doesn’t take to the Force all that easily, as much as he still has the Jedi reflexes/intuition with flying and mechanics.

Oh, I’m sure! My brother’s an engineer, whereas I was always more language/arts/history-minded. So while I can’t think like an engineer, I kind of get it.

Dude, I hear you, and I’ve been saying those things and asking those questions (and their ilk) for as long as I can remember, so the actually religious kids barred me from sitting at their lunch table. Well, for those and a whole host of other reasons, but... *shrug* I got nothin’. Anybody who can create anything…

Maybe if you had embraced it harder, more passionately, more... more... look, all I’m saying is, you clearly didn’t TRY hard enough to keep it in one piece. Just think: planet earth could still have a supercontinent if it wasn’t for your lack of enthusiasm about hugging Pangaea. God knows I tried, but I’m just one…

Eeeuuughhhh, yes. God. These people!!

Oops! I missed that you posted it. La. Sorry about that. :)

Ugh, that sucks. I’m sorry.

Don’t apologise for the length of your comment. These stories are all important. I am so, so sorry for what you’ve gone through.

Upon reflection, it’s all just very insidiously anti-sex. Women are the visible sacrifices to the something something Bible something mumble ahem for daring to open her legs even to her husband, but EVERYONE must be punished for humanity’s decision to engage in something that is perfectly healthy adult behaviour.…

No, no, you silly woman. Of couse conditions like poly cycstic ovary syndrome and fibroids and whatnot exist, but there are OTHER methods of treating them besides birth control. I won’t tell you what they are, and naturally your doctor would never suggest them to you instead of just putting you on HBC, and you…

And he even sat down with some geeky folks and played a half-hour session that was filmed for Geek & Sundry and Nerdist as promotion for the movie. I think he’s so adorable.

Dude. He really does look like a Khajiit like that. Okay, I could use some moon sugar for totally legitimate purposes, and a few empty soul gems. I have this Daedric Sword of the Inferno to trade and—

This really deserved to be brought out of the black. Poor you, and your poor parents. :( These kinds of stories—the kind of harm we actively do to others when we try to police their actions and choices when they aren’t harming themselves and others—need to be read and heard.

Please tell me your friend at least yelled at those people until they cried or something. My God. They murdered her pets.
