So, there is this guy in one of my classes who wears tight pants. I usually end up sitting directly across from him in the circles we have to be in during class. He sits with his legs open, crotch seam directly at me.

No, you're missing the point. I said that because that's the representation that the magazine shows for what all women are supposed to be. And that representation makes me uncomfortable. It makes a LOT of women uncomfortable and feel shitty about themselves.

Even when they do put female athletes on the front, they're sexualized and made up to seem hot rather than Awesome Person at their chosen sport. It sucks all around.

I came here to say the same thing. It pictures make me uncomfortable because they remind me of what I'm "SUPPOSED" to be, which is thin, young and...willing and available. Nevermind that I'm smart or anything else, I must be hot and naughty. teehee! ugh, yuck. And if I'm not then I'm not good enough, or something.

I've lived in a lot of older places where they just keep adding cheap paint. It's fucking obnoxious. I've had windows painted shut. Yuck! Why not keep the beauty of the original wood? Then they could charge more for rent.

When I heard about it and learned it was true (not faux celebrity death) I wished so much that I could have reached out to him somehow and helped in someway. Like others, his death hit me really hard because I've been on that precipice and it's so, so painful. I still wish I could tell him.

I work at a dog daycare. I met a new puppy today. She sat on my shoulder and looked over the world.

I am in love with Sheldon. He is my engineering spirit animal.

So does my dad on disability. So what? That doesn't mean anything. You don't KNOW for SURE anything. And that's the problem. You're making assumptions without knowledge of anything. he might have had a great job at one point, bought a bunch of stuff and then lost his job. That happened to my dad. We got new appliances…

No, that is not the case and hasn't been the case for a really, really long time.

Wow. That's so fascinating! I know you don't have more info, but I want to know more.

The phrase "creamer problem" really makes me happy. :D Thanks for that.

There are so few of us in my engineering program. There are more in biomed, though. In EE it's like me and some asian chicks.

This is sad and interesting.

So, I really like his idea on principle, but if he doesn't...change it somehow...to reflect that people are clearly struggling or not or whatever then it's kind of fucked.

Nope. However, she was undereducated from the middle of bumfuckingnowhere Wisconsin and is married to a gay man. She doesn't know he's gay. He might not either. But I was told that he was by some coworkers who spent time with the two of them. I was suspicious until one day she told me that they got into an argument…

That's actually kind of interesting. Thanks!

I know/knew/whatever someone who thinks like that.

You had me until acoustic guitar.

Holy crap. I had no idea!
