Oh good, there haven't been enough freefloating hormones and spontaneous crying jags in my life lately, glad there will be still more after birth~! (Sorry, husband.)

I feel like I'm actually a bloodhound right now. How soon after birth does the heightened sense of smell go away?

Yeah, I personally find that annoying, but the kind of person Flami is looking for might appreciate the adherence to capitalization standards for video games and TV shows. I see that as more of a "if it's the right person it'll be a green flag" quirk.

I know exactly who you're talking about, because my work is directly connected with these cases. There are so, so many of them. A really good look on this is Kathryn Joyce's The Child Catchers if you just want to scream or cry for a while.

I am an INTJ married to an INTP. Essentially, the biggest difference between our decision-making skills is that he'll watch whatever's on, and I prefer to watch the best thing available, even if it means switching from cable to Netflix. Anger issues and micromanaging are not due to Myer-Briggs types, they're due to

I did not understand this show at all when I watched it as a kid (about all I remember were people making fun of Whitley and Dwayne having the coolest glasses ever), but the clips in this article were really powerful, especially the "no means no" bit.

I'm in a weird place on this, because my work has me involved with a lot of survivors from cults and cult-like situations — over the past week or so there's been a lot of survivors talking through the parallels between their situations and Kimmy Schmidt — so a lot of what happens in this episode and the next two is

I talk to myself when I'm alone, but only when I'm alone, and mostly as part of processing something. I've overheard both my mother and my brother having relatively lengthy monologues that seem more like what you describe. I do not really understand having the ability to drop your self-consciousness to the point that

Yeah, that was my issue too: until the middle of the second act, when January Jones started telegraphing her discomfort, it wasn't clear if we were supposed to be laughing at Will Forte or being creeped out by him. And if you weren't laughing at Will Forte, there was nothing to laugh at when he was on-screen.

Dong's statement is racist: however, the joke is not the stereotype about the Chinese, but that Dong assumed Kimmy's comment as being racist. So for the audience, we can laugh at racism without actually participating in racism.

One thing I really loved about this episode was how we were set up the entire time to think Jacqueline is paranoid/crazy about her husband cheating on her — and it turns out she was right. Women being gaslighted and breaking through other people's limits for them is a running theme in this series.

There just aren't words for how much he meant, how much his work shaped me and so many others, how much emptier the world seems now that he's not here. I'm glad he died peacefully, but this hurts nevertheless.

These are perfect recommendations for starting Discworld.

I went the reverse: my friends recommended me Discworld, which led me to Good Omens, which led me to Neil Gaiman's work, both prose and comics.

When I read the Tiffany Aching books, all I could think about was how sad I was they hadn't come out when I was a pre-teen, because I really wanted my younger self to have had Tiffany Aching as a friend.

Good luck! Everyone there is super-fun, and even if you lose (which happens to everyone who appears on the show, sooner or later), you get fun stories, more money than your plane ticket cost, and a picture of you with Alex Trebek!

But females are strong as hell!

In the show they used a pizza from an Albuquerque pizza chain that sells all of their pizzas unsliced, IIRC.

The sad thing is, my first reaction was, "which bunker?" Because unfortunately, this kind of thing happens too often.

Some actually do the opposite, or don't have any effect at all. The problem is the period of trial and error before you find out the effect it's going to have.
