It is my hope that any female who gets sexually assaulted will go to a hospital and insist they do a rape kit. I know it's never going to happen at the rates the assaults do, but I can dream.

I want to punch the parents in the mouth (each). Is that too strong a reaction?

So... what about something for those of us who can't stand bourbon or cloves? And are sort of meh on mezcal?

I agree with shop local. I tried David's Bridal and nothing fit well, and finally after looking around online I tried the local bridal/prom dress shop where my dad lives. I think it was the fifth dress I tried; it was on the clearance rack so I had to get it altered a little (it was too big), but it was very nice on…

I read that article myself and reacted pretty much the same way you did. I found it hard to believe someone could blame self esteem for what seems pretty clearly not about that at all, unless she subconsciously meant the self esteem to finally stand up to an abusive parent. The article itself seemed incredibly…

Someone who wants to give their kitteh a clearly inferior foe to train against. This Tiger kitteh obviously embraces that fact and will continue to subjugate the adversary for as long as it is necessary.

JR always reminded me of that aunt who no one thought was funny or even really tolerable, but no one spoke up because she was family, so whatever she said was met with half-hearted laughs at best. For years a friend of mine has been a big KG fan, quite probably because she herself cultivates the 'kooky redhead' vibe,…

I saw her on TDS the other day, and when they mentioned what show she was on... I just sighed and hoped her dad was self medicating with a bottle of Smirnoff or something.

I find it disheartening that so many people DON'T know of the risks. I'm honestly more frightened of fecal transmission bugs than STDs, even as a faithful married person-thing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal-ora…

My mother, who was born *before* the end of WWII, told me several times while I was growing up that she did not like chickens. Finally a few years ago, I lived on a farm for a while, and took care of chickens myself while the owners were out of town. Holy shit, I get it now. I'm not scared of them because I was an…

Wow. It's a bird. A big one, with a large beak and claws, to be fair, but for FFS, you can kick it without hurting it probably. That's amazing. OH GOD, A WILD BIRD A TENTH OF MY SIZE HAS ME PINNED. I'M TRAPPED. SEND HELP.

So many responses... so little time.

I realize this is mostly about Dragon Age, but since you threw in a smattering of Mass Effect, what about Skyrim? Granted those character interactions aren't as in depth, but it's still fun to figure out the options. I'm probably unreasonably happy about the fact that my female khajiit is married to Ysolda, and they…

Fire ze missiles!

But... I am le tired...

Lupe! Quit hogging the Doritos!

You must be new to this feature.

If... she's posed not to show her nethers... then why is her hand there? *ponders*

Rawr. I recently 'met' a photographer in an enthusiast group I joined, who seemed normal until he started complaining about how his new job's salary would be reduced once his ex found out about it, for child support 'because she's lazy and won't work'. Mind you, I have never met him face to face, and he's complaining…

I get the reluctance about stereotypes, but the one and only Indian guy who ever messaged me out of the blue... was looking for spank material.

I met my husband through online dating, but there were definitely a few duds before him. However, I also recently was put in touch with someone who makes hard cider professionally (brewer, specifically for brewing questions), and despite being introduced online by my good friend who interviewed this guy for the local…
