She was there specifically for the job offer, so she wouldn’t have known him without it. Even conventionally attractive guys can blow it if they do something assholish like this. People do meet at work and get together and even get married, but ideally, that would involve actually getting to know each other first and…

I just don’t like it because it makes guys look like they have teeny little legs and stretchy alien torsos. But I don’t mock them for it. Not to anyone but my mother, anyway. And strangers online, while hiding behind an anonymous screenname. But still! Making it illegal for men to creep people out with their elongated…

Legislature in a lot of states seems to get more time off than schoolchildren. And they make less sense, too.

Why isn’t she already in the process of being impeached?

Use a cookie cooling rack on top of the foil. More things to clean, yeah, but your bacon comes out more crisp and you can save all that glorious bacon fat to cook with, later!

Don’t worry. Everybody will assume she’s a typical rude-ass American, anyway. That is our gift to you, our Northern Brothers.

She ended the article with this perfect line, and you guys had to blow it by responding to this....

Actually, my point was your arrival on the scene with an explosion of rudeness. I don’t have a single problem with anything you said, just the fact that you came in assuming that everyone here was a childish ignorant troll. Seriously, talk about it, explain to us why you love your clients, tell us some of your…

“O Yog Sothoth, O Yog Sothoth,
We worship you, O Yog Sothoth
Who’s Santa Claus, who’s Jesus Christ?
We worship Yog, cause he’s not nice
We’ll celebrate with some stray dog
Which we’ll carve up and serve to Yog
O Yog Sothoth, O Yog Sothoth,
We beg you doooo noooot eeeeeat uuuuus.”

Have you read the other posts in this particular thread? Not a lot of hate here. Certainly no ‘torches and pitchforks’. We’re talking to other sex workers and learning about their lives and views, if you want to share yours, feel free. But please relax with the ‘fuck you’s, most of us are actually just here to talk.

It wouldn’t stop rape, but it would make sex workers less afraid to go to the police and report it. Because they wouldn’t be arrested for prostitution. That’s what she’s talking about there.

I played a single player game with my husband before he was ex-ed, and he accidentally killed me. Not ‘I lost a fight and died’, but totally screwed up his own story and killed me. But since I was playing a paladin of Illmatar at the time, he brought me back to life as a martyr and we carried on from there! Of course,…

I actually got a DM to let me get away with a Kender wizard, once! She was a fire specialist, and LE. A broken Kender, basically. She wound up getting lowered on a rope into a pit of corpses to cast Detect Magic and retrieve anything that glowed... she willfully stole a magic necklace and ring to make up for the…

I had a Kender character. She “found things” constantly! Little meaningless crap, mostly, occasionally something useful. The things she stole from the party were the things they weren’t constantly touching and using. Except for the cleric’s holy symbol, but she eventually started carrying a spare...

But you have internet and food! All outside has is sunshine, fresh air, and human socialization. Pfft. Actually, the only new people I’ve met in the last year have been because my kid is SO much more outgoing than me. And I feel terrible about that, because I didn’t know how to make friends with other parents to help…

Look, you’re way more invested in this than I am. My conclusion is in my previous two replies. Thanks for addressing my questions, but I don’t want to talk about this anymore.

How do you have time for that many people? No, actually, different question. How do you meet people? I never mastered friend-making, and all of my attempts to communicate with other Moms at my son’s classes are met with majorly bitchy stink-eye.

I can’t afford babysitters. My kid is stuck with me when he’s not at school. I know that molestation does not require a bed, but neither does being friends with kids. The fact is, being alone with a kid who’s not yours in a bed is always creepy looking. Always. And MJs family’s behavior around him when he was growing…

Are wedding costs less expensive in India? Are you having the wedding there? Who’s paying for everything? Just the thought of such an enormous guest list is dumbfounding. I’m trying to picture what three hundred people looks like, but I’m such a hermit!

Is that a thing in Indian culture? I can’t even name 50 people who I’d invite to my wedding. And I only know of three people I could guarantee would attend. Provided one of them managed her blood sugar properly that day.
