More of this please! I'm very visual, and didn't understand the humor without the gifs. Lindy, this man clearly owes you some royalties.
I was absolutely about to make the same comment—beautiful and brave.
I agree that women shouldn't be denied for those pejorative reasons. To be clear, I wasn't denied. Knowing my medical history, my Ob/Gyn expressed reservations but was happy to do the procedure. I did research and concluded that it wasn't a good option for me, and that the risks outweighed the potential benefits.
Goliath Coffins did just roll out a triple wide (an upgrade to their double wide model)
I agree with the character of this piece, though not entirely with its content. I wholeheartedly second that "teens not getting pregnant after having sex" should be an unwavering policy position. Likewise, the moralizing around teen sex that only serves to increase teen pregnancy shouldn't be legitimated.
We are both right according to WebMd:
Totally hear you, and I think for many women, a day of severe cramping is normal. My uterus is a persnickety bugger though, prone to excruciating cramping. I worry that this makes it more likely that I will fall into the "extreme cramping for a month" category that some women have experienced, and I don't want to…
I shared a flight from Oslo to JFK with LFMAO a month ago. It surprised me that: 1) They were flying with an American carrier (all of which are much much crappier than any international carrier based in any other country), 2) They flew coach, 3) They all sat far apart from one another and didn't regroup after in the…
My ObGyn expressed concerns, but not about fertility. IUDs are generally recommended for women who have already been pregnant (as some have pointed out), because something about having been pregnant makes the insertion less painful. I've done some research, and heard some horror stories about extreme pain/bad…
Aside: I find it hilarious that the UK gives weight in stones (an Imperial unit), even though they've seen the light and converted to metric. And the US, still fiercely insistent that the Imperial system will come back into fashion, has no idea what a stone is.
Damn that bloodline has some masculine sperm.
The frequency of pin numbers starting with higher digits (i.e. 7-9) looks to follow the patterns of Benford's Law, which predicts that the first digit in number of any data set will begin with 1 30% of the time, and this rate declines logarithmically to 9, which is the first digit 5% of the time.
Yeah... but how do they look in bathing suits?
JESUS CHRIST KITCHENHACKS, YOU BLOW MY MIND WITH CONSTANT AND EMBARRASSINGLY OBVIOUS LIFE ALTERING IDEAS.
In my high school we had "Senior Slave for a Day" in which jocks were auctioned off to the highest bidding underclassman, who then got to dress them however they wanted for an entire school day.
I've found that in general, EU countries have better luck implementing systems that rely on spot-checking the honor system than the states. I've been consistently amazed at the effectiveness of transit systems, grocery stores, and homemade jam stands across the EU that are run in this manner. Here in the states,…
Rousseau addresses your points in the same piece I was briefly summarizing (Discourse on Inequality). It might help to consider that Rousseau was diagnosing the trajectory of a particular culture. Specifically, he was diagnosing the emerging bourgeois society of Western Europe. And yes, the diminutization of women…
Don't worry, the 1700s doesn't need more credit than you're giving them—these ideas really were progressive and quite cool :)
I neither said nor implied the conclusions you ascribe to my post, but I appreciate your willful misreading and mischaracterization. It's nice to be reminded that women just don't understand things like facts and science which are objective, true, and sacrosanct, and are in no way colored or effected by inherited…
