It may not have been part of that challenge, but sadly there are a number of pro-suicide chatrooms around, and people in that frame of mind will find them if they go looking.

This too.

Unfortunately, BitterSweet has nailed it. All too often, places/events that are billed as ‘women-only’ then go on to discriminate against transgender women.

I have to ask though, will trans women be allowed?

Absolutely agree. They are all beautiful pieces, but it’s the robot in a hoodie that made me stop and take a couple minutes to really appreciate the details.

Is there any level at which Trump’s version of events makes sense? “A tabloid is harassing my family and myself. I know, I’ll call the POTUS to get him to stop it!” Does anyone actually think that way, and is that seriously the narrative that he’s trying to push?

Canadian here. Near Vancouver. Call it 2.5m people in this area. We’re seeing four deaths per day locally on average, due to opiate overdoses. Police, paramedics, first responders of all kinds are issued naloxone kits to try and prevent some of these deaths, and they’re reporting that a lot of the time they need to

Is it me or does the still of that Fox news clip look like the guy is interviewing himself? I’d almost swear that if you parted their hair on the other side, swapped glasses, and changed the lighting, that they’d be virtually indistinguishable.

I can remember, as a 4-5 year old, my dad effectively waterboarding me because I had a nosebleed from picking my nose. (Holding my head upside down under the tap to ‘wash out’ my nose, while he yelled at me.) I can remember him yelling more, when he found me playing ‘dress-up’ in my mom’s clothes. I can remember the

*Cough* Trickle-down economics. An extreme interpretation of a ‘faith’ the 1% believes in, yet is forced upon the rest. Proof it can happen! /s

I’ve had people argue seriously that Asexuals (and Aromantics/Agender people) weren’t ‘discriminated against enough’ and so didn’t deserve to be part of the acronym, while defending including Allies. Just... no words.

WOW! I have witnessed two people start out at odds on a Kinja post, then step back, discuss things like rational adults, and come to amicable agreement! It’s a Pride Miracle! Who says Pride can’t bring people closer together? :P

Woohoo! Ace pride!

Don’t worry! There will also be the smug bastards who want to point out how none of this would have happened if they hadn’t screwed Bernie over in the primaries.

I’m gonna vote with a number of others in the comments.

Interestingly/ironically, pentobarbital (Nembutal) is still available to those who wish to end their own lives....

This. It’s about sending a message. A message that you are not welcome in society. A message that open bigotry, prejudice and attacks upon certain people (in particular, trans women, non-passing trans women, TWOC, anyone who’s gender non-conforming.... the list goes on...) are perfectly acceptable.

See, that would be my fear, if you weren’t allowed to read it yourself. I could easily see people arranging for ‘dates’ where they agree to fill each other in on the details of what’s in the other person’s binder. Of course then you still have the wondering if they were completely honest about that...

100% Team Binder, then.

In which case, would we be allowed to read our own binders, or would it be strictly for others?
