She does not ever actually have sex with him, as far as I can tell, since he seems physically incapable.

If you're interested, follow the vulture link to the transcript I provided and actually read what she said. She makes it very clear that he was the aggressor.

First of all, you just cited Thought Catalog, which might be the first sign that you're in trouble.

This makes no sense. If you're standing any kind of distance away from a building, even perfect reflection of the urine without any absorption wouldn't do much of anything. unless you were standing right up against the wall or urinating horizontally. It sounds like a smart person found a way to get dumb people to buy…

I think it's important to say yes whenever possible, but when you say no, explain once firmly. Have a clear explanation for what you're doing, but don't get into a debate.

For many prisoners, gender reassignment surgery is life-saving. Some resort to self-castration in their cells. Others attempt suicide.

Parenting a toddler is really hard. Since you only mention a little brother, I'm guessing he's your oldest?

Unsafe at any airspeed

Some of these look great, and I appreciate the idea behind them.

A little bummed not to see Emily Dickinson and Ida B. Wells on the list.

That depended on the state. Eisenstadt made anti-contraception laws unconstitutional, but not every state at that time had an anticontraception law. To draw a comparison, gay marriage is legal in lots of states, but laws prohibiting gay marriage have not been finally declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court.

Yeah, I didn't understand the snark about open-pit mining.

I was wondering whether the Blue Peacock influenced the Doomsday Device from Dr. Strangelove. I see it was only declassified in 2004, so maybe it was only a case of great/demented minds thinking alike?

I remember reading about this several years ago. One of the Asian airlines requires flight attendants to be a certain height, and a would-be flight attendant was too short. So she went through these surgeries. Apparently, in addition to the whole stuck-in-a-bed-in-crippling pain-for-months problem of the procedure…

JONAH got swallowed, so maybe not the best metaphor?
