All porn. 100%.

I'm a woman who hates porn. What I hate even more is that it's not socially acceptable in most feminist spaces to admit that. I always get someone being all, "Aw, hon, you need to be more accepting of your sexuality!" Why is it so crazy that my sexuality doesn't involve porn?

But lasagna noodles are fucking huge! At that point it ceases to be a tank top and just becomes a plain 'ol shirt.

It's funny because I was raised by literal communists, but we never had that kind of openness in our family. Interesting story, thanks for sharing.

You've lived my dream. I hope you at least had the chance to meet David Liebe Hart. I'd love to wish him salame.

This was what struck me the most. She seems so dead inside. She knows she's got to keep her career going, but she feels absolutely nothing for it. Just look at the Brazil concert photos.

I'm really curious what led up to her offering to show you the birth video, because the way tell the story it sounds so weird. "Hey PorpoiseSpit, thanks for babysitting my kid. By the way, if you're not too busy want to check out a video of me giving birth?"

I felt so cold and unhappy after reading that. My father was very open about not wanting me because I am female. Being unwanted is a horrible thing to bear.

I've always said I would want to have kids if I could be a father. Being a mother seems absolutely terrifying.

This is very informative, thank you. I was curious because a female Japanese friend of mine told me that she imagines it would be easier to be a mother in Japan than in the US, which was why she planned on returning to her home country if she ever fell pregnant. Now I wonder what factors led her to believe that.

Helping me find things, and then talking about the things, and then asking what other things I would be interested in, and then bringing me things I don't want… I'm hyperventilating just thinking about it.

I feel the same way, but because then I absolutely know I will have to interact with the staff if I want to buy anything.

Not super relevant, but I am surprised that Japan is so low.

The restaurant I worked at divided tips based on seniority. It was a shit system because all the long time waitresses just sort of bummed around, while the newer ones didn't see the point of trying since they knew they wouldn't see even half of the tips they earned.

A friend of mine lost her father to cancer three years ago. She still posts on his Facebook page obsessively, to the point where her timeline is just their "communication" back and forth. I personally think this is her trying to ensure he maintains a semblance of presence in her life, and that it's ultimately not good…

You're right, but remember that there is a huge problem in Japan right now with a declining birthrate and young people (especially women) having little interest in marriage/dating. My Japanese expat friends' opinions follow a larger cultural trend which is relevant to the OP's comment.

They don't date Japanese-Japanese men. Never heard any of them express an opinion on Japanese-American men. Asians are okay. One of my friends has a Filipino boyfriend, and one has a Korean husband.

Never played Dark Souls, but Elder Scrolls games, man. Those are a goddamn time suck. I have spent an embarrassing amount of time picking and eating every flower in Skyrim, and making virtual tomato soup for my elf-wife.

Definitely, and L.R.L make great initials.
