Getting fat was one of the best things that ever happened to me, in terms of my life getting easier, socially. The street harassment mostly stopped, conversations about how I looked mostly stopped, I got a promotion at work, my co-workers talk to me about work now instead of subtly trying to figure out if they can…

Yeah, I feel like high school is a proper time to get into the mechanics of birth control and std’s, but it’s a little late for sex ed. I had my first sex ed class in grade school, maybe around 8 or 9? It was very informative about how babies are made, why periods happen, what breasts are for, etc.. I went to Catholic…

Yeah, I had that same problem with 4 of the questions. I just couldn’t remember. And, I felt that should have been an answer option, rather than being forced to choose “none of these topics were covered”.

Thank you for this summary because I couldn’t stand to watch it.

I think it’s also an issue of memory. If you start asking them easy questions that don’t require a lot of mental effort, they’ll start remembering the experience and then they’ll be more mentally prepared for the deep questions.

Someone I met at a party recently asked me, “What are you passionate about?”. It’s a little difficult to say exactly why I found the question so off-putting, but maybe it’s because it seems like a question designed to make the person asking it look clever or something.

This needs to be here.

I also hate top sheets. I just change the duvet every two weeks. Problem solved.

True.

Also, maybe in consideration of your propensity to infections...it would be nice if he took a shower or at least give his hands, fingernails, and little friend a cleansing before you get busy.

Have you tried Boric Acid suppositories? If not, google that shit asap.

Thanks, ottermann. You sound cool. I think if people stopped making such a big deal about which gender does which things, and just lets people do what they’re good at, we’d all be better off.

I don’t understand. They drink by submerging their whole head? Whaaa?

Back when I used to drink coffee, I would time my morning coffee so that I always pooped at home, not at work. I used to wonder why everyone didn’t do this, it’s so convenient.

I chew mine. Delicious.

It is really difficult to learn not to internalize all the b.s. that’s thrown at us as women. But, I try to imagine what kind of asshole would judge me for being fat, and then I realize that I don’t care what that asshole thinks. And then I put on my swimsuit and go swimming. Fat thighs, fat arms and all. And I never…

I agree that your fb friend is an asshole for not understanding that his order is over the top! That being said, I really dig his order. I would like a pizza like that - a delicious gradient of toppings...mmmmm.

You say this, and in theory I agree with you, except I have been served things by “baristas” that have in no way resembled the actual espresso drink I ordered. I say this as a former cafe owner / barista. Two examples:

To me, you are a hero.

My husky was incredibly aware of power relationships and where the power lay. She would invariably sit at the feet of the most socially powerful human in the room, even if it was a group of people who just met each other. It was uncanny. And a little insulting :P
