Well isn’t that a facile thing to say from someone who was never threatened in the first place.

Why do people seem to think that “I made this work” translates to “Everyone can make this work.”

When I was about three, my grandmother was making baked potatoes, and left a few wrapped in foil on the edge of the stovetop. She told me ‘HOT’, but I was all ‘I’M THREE AND YOU DON’T TELL ME SHIT’ and picked one up.

I’m also a 6’ woman, and yes. Doing a lot of prep work like cutting veggies on the counter, or scooping out cookie dough or something like that where I have to bend over just enough to work with the counter, can be torture. Washing dishes is awful, which is why a dishwasher is now required in any apartment I live in.

Same here, I guess I need to start checking my 5’7” privilege...

5’ 6” here. Everything has been pleasantly situated. I feel like an ass for not realizing.

My chiropractor says yes, that is indeed how life is for the rest of us.

Yep. My mother had the benefit that my father built their first home, and the kitchen was made for her height. The drawback is...she’s 5’3”. Until I moved out, I had to operate in that kitchen...and I’m 5’9”. My sister lives there now. She’s 5’7’. She’s learned to deal with it.

Yes.

Very much so! 6’0” here and in pain if I have to wash many dishes by hand or work consistently on a regular counter. One day, when I have my own home and can refurbish a kitchen, I will fit it to work with our tall family (hubby is also 6’0”+). It is pricy, but not to the point that it won’t make up for avoiding all…

Yes. Our dishwasher broke and I was washing dishes by hand for a month while we waited for the replacement. By the end of it, I was a) convinced that I’m a privileged little asshole and b) convinced that kitchens were not actually designed for their theoretical users.

Um, so I take it ‘Spazz’ is not considered offensive in the US? In the UK it’s considered offensive same as ‘Retard’.

Oh my days, someone actually called this in the comments on the story about the pregnancy reveal.

Yes! This is such an important point to make. Orgasm doesn’t indicate consent at all, and consent can’t be constructed after the fact.

Many members of the Galactic Council still think of humans as lesser sentients. Even if they won’t say it outright, they show it in their dismissive attitudes towards issues that affect the lives of Earthlings and in their failure, year after year, to put humans on any meaningful galactic committees. This is why we…

Except Humanism is already a different thing.

Yeah the word you’re looking for is egalitarian, not humanist. Humanism is a belief system based on the belief that humans can sort themselves out without rules from a divine being & focuses on rationalism and empiricism over deism. Egalitarianism is the correct term for people that believe everyone needs a little…

Can we ban people who don't effing know what humanism is from using the word in conversation or nah?

I want to watch a buddy cop show about her and Rachel Dolezal. Rach is the tough, take-no-shit, blackface cop. She doesn’t need a gun or badge; she’s got her bow and arrow and her race card. Belle is the freewheeling hippie cop with a tragic secret: she’s dying of fake-ass cancer. Together, they must team up to fight…

Basically.
