The BDSM community has covered this extensively in books, articles, etc. that are far more comprehensive and elucidated than this article. If you really want to know the details of how this works in a safe and enthusiastically consensual way for people (as opposed to just displaying how triggered your are), Google is…

Calmer than you did.

“Beckley is one of the larger towns in West Virginia and has a Starbucks, Ulta, Olive Garden, and airport”

I am the opposite. I am remarkably healthy. I have tremendous low-cost insurance through my employer (and it was that good before the ACA). I have been paying higher and higher premiums every year because of the ACA despite the fact that I have very little cause to ever seek medical treatment.

This argument might make sense if we didn’t live in the richest country in the world. As it is, it’s pretty shit. The US could provide free abortion and family planning services to low income people, for very little money. But we don’t. Instead we force poor women to have children, then throw some pennies at them for…

The “justification” for an abortion is that the patient wants one, period. Your idea of what the “right reasons” (I can only imagine what those are in your worldview) for an abortion matter not one whit to anyone who is not you. Abortion is often PRECISELY for people who want to correct mistakes made in bed that…

My comments are directed at your comments and, since I know nothing about you, my comments are not a criticism of you as a person.

 This kind of my feeling on the matter.

And I’m sure to get hate bombed for this, but as repugnant as what she stands for might be, is it fair to say when a person’s​/group’s POV about politics and other social issues are polar opposite than yours, that all speaking engagements should be cancelled?

Dear Shygurl,

Nothing is fucked? THE PLANE HAS CRASHED INTO THE SIDE OF THE GODDAMN MOUNTAIN!

Ask any “pro-lifer” how many kids they’ve adopted. Ask them how much they’re willing to put out for the women who are forced to give birth to unwanted children—will they pay for the childcare, the healthcare, food, shelter, schooling. Pretty much shuts down the entire argument.

Nope. You can’t read. Or you’re dumb. Exhibit A; directly from the cell abstract:

Just random, no reason, no reason at all.

This is low key pretty insulting to conservatives. Like, much more so than “this thread” is. You basically said people who voted for Trump are children who can’t separate logic from emotion and can’t be held accountable for their actions.

I assume that you were too young to remember, oh...the entire 1990s, then? Rush Limbaugh and right-wing talk radio had already metastasized into Fox News before Clinton had even gotten a year into his first term, let alone before Gore ran. “Divisive language” was the conservative talk-in-trade, or don’t you remember a…

My biological family (I’m adopted) is this way. My half sisters stepmother was bloviating about how only Republicans have true values and are good people, and how Trump will champion them. Mind you, this champion of values married her husband after having a five year affair with him when he was married to my…

“Donald Trump is a phenomenon that foreign countries haven’t seen.”

I had thought that 2016 was one of the four most important elections in American history (1860, 1932, and 2000 were the other three). But now I’m starting to think 2020 will be more important.

Trump was also up against basically the worst candidate the Democrats could have put forward. No personality, decades of baggage, averse to transparency, motivates the other side against her, unwilling to change or listen to others, and spent her time running a victory lap instead of a campaign.
