I have never been happier to have an IUD. We need to fight for abortion rights so much, but while they’re in flux, also fight for contraception. (Yes, I know you can technically get pregnant with an IUD in, nothing’s perfect, but it sure as hell helps avoid unwanted babies.)

I knew it! I knew I was always scared of roller coasters for a reason! THEY WILL FUCKING KILL YOU.

We didn’t leave jeans for blue collar working men, we won’t leave weird big heels for strippers. Clothes are just clothes.

Yeah no. We need to stop restricting clothes, not police people harder.

Please, no. I’m already short enough. Teen girls these days are already taller than me en masse. I don’t need to have to wear these things just to compete.

I’m of two minds about this. On one hand, mocking people for how they talk is crappy. Just let people say things how they say things. On the other, I absolutely cannot stand baby talk. Basically, I will not stop anyone from using abbreviations, but it makes me wince a little depending on which one.

I love kayaking, but those things are so damn hard to transport...

Fire ants are even invasive. They *need* to die.

Southerners eschew seat belts more than you think. There was a prevailing belief when I was growing up that pickup trucks were immune to that law.

Yeah this is definitely one of those survivor bias situations, in a way. Like with the airplane full of holes that lands at the airstrip -- it survived, because it wasn’t shot in a crucial place. When there is a fatal shot, the plane crashes, so you don’t see them return full of *those* holes.

People expect killers to look a little unhinged. Wide eyes, a blank or angry face. Tattoos. Big and male. Maybe a bit disheveled, with unkempt hair and old clothes. Basically, imagine “crazy dirty homeless man” stereotype, and that’s what they want to see. It gives them the impression that people don’t just snap, or…

I think I’ll have to settle on White Houses by Vanessa Carlton. I know it’s supposed to be about a girl losing her virginity, but it fits so well with the social explosion that destroyed my friend group a few years back.

Didn’t have this problem, but I had friends who did back in school. They were private about it, but even so, everyone knew it was period stuff because they would end up absent a couple days a month...every month...around the same time. Other girls were talking about it behind their backs. I felt so bad for all the…

What’s wrong with Ryuji’s shoes?

Honestly, yeah. Put a bumper at the start that is like “this is not the Nazi swastika. (Couple sentences of detail here.)“ Done.

Sounds like it was a good time for her to suck it up and go cold turkey on the lung cancer sticks.

“ she asks the viewer to consider whether they’re “in it for the hustle or in it for the accolades and praise.” ”

I quit because of the preachiness. I feel like it probably has some nuggets of truth, but I don’t need a Weight Loss 101 class.

The magnetic thing makes me wince. It’s just skin oil, people. Anyone can stick a spoon to their nose or a washer to their arm. If it doesn’t stay, put a bit of lotion on before you show your magic trick.

That is a phenomenal amount of strength and resilience you’re showing, both with the shots and with pregnancy. Jeez. Also probably a bit of insanity on the latter, but hey, you seem to have your shit way together XD
