Yeah that’s really not the response I expected! I’m always kind of discourged by the assumption that everyone is or should be on hormonal birth control. For me it caused way more problems than it was worth, and it was the kind where you are only supposed to get a period every 3 months, but it never did work that way…

I think around 2005ish he went through a short period where he looked his age. Like in the movie The Departed I remember thinking he finally looked age appropriate. I feel kind of bad for him honestly, you look like a child until you’re thirty then suddenly you age like 40 years?

I can’t get my mom to vote for Hillary but she isn't going to vote for Trump either. I’m so thankful my mom is more reasonable than the others. I mean I knew they were republicans and that we disagree on a lot... but to support Trump... it’s discouraging to say the least.

Most of my family, coworkers, and some acquaintances on facebook continue to support Trump. Sometimes I feel like I’m legitimately losing my mind because to me Trump is so horrifying that I can’t imagine anyone supporting him. Yet so many people are supporting him and acting like he’s some breath of fresh air guy,…

Anyone who struggles with how to tell their kids about gay people should actually be happy to see gay couples on TV or in books. If your kid grows up seeing gay couples on TV, they will already know they exist, and you won’t have to tell them. Problem solved!

When I was 17 I was getting harassed at my job, my very first job, and I thought - no! I’m a strong woman! I won’t allow it! I reported that shit then and there.

Definitely a reasonable goal! I don’t have any delusions that I’ll ever be fluent like a native speaker but I really just want to learn as much as I can. I have a really long way to go. I’m still really terrible at understanding spoken French, unfortunately I don’t really know anyone who speaks French.

I use duolingo for French. I studied it in high school and did one semester in college; I would really like to be fluent some day but can’t afford an expensive course right now. Duolingo says I’m 44% fluent but I’m not sure how accurate it is? Or how they actually determine that.

I honestly only stopped using a VCR to record stuff maybe 5 years ago? That’s when we got HD cable with a DVR. That probably makes me sound old but I’m only 27.

Yeah I have had similar conversations with various members of my family. Some of them seem to honestly think that children starving in the streets is a necessary evil to teach the parents a lesson.

I’m 27 and struggle with anxiety rather than depression but otherwise I’m in the same boat. I don’t know what I’m going to do but it’s at least nice to know others are dealing with the same thing and people have gotten through it.

I find it so creepy and gross when people talk about the elderly like they are toddlers. Like everything they do or say is “omg sooo adorable isn’t it?”

I would like to get Lasik at some point in the future but I’m afraid of it. Just seeing people’s red eyes after Lasik makes me think about it and freaks me out. I’m a queasy fainter though, I can’t look at needles going into skin either. But I still get shots and have my blood drawn when needed!

Some guy the other day was crying about how “it’s never been harder to be a white heterosexual male in this country than it is today” and it was almost too funny to be mad at.

Aside from looking at the numbers and seeing that black people are more likely to be shot even if the total number of white people shot is actually higher, these people aren’t taking into consideration the REASONS people are shot. Black people are being shot for things white people would absolutely never be shot for.

This is so obvious but so many don’t get it! The people worried about #bluelivesmatter seem to honestly believe that police lives matter MORE than other lives. To them it’s ok that innocent people may be killed because police officers have a stressful job and want to live to go home to their families. If you can’t…

I absolutely have heard this advice, if you think someone is following you, ask them for directions or the time or something like that. It’s supposed to scare them off but it certainly sounds risky to me.

Yes I think so. Sadly I have even seen this line of reasoning with women who have been raped, and I think it’s like “well I was raped because of ____, if I don’t do that again I won’t be raped again.” It is hard to accept that some things are totally out of your control.

My cat has a microchip but all it does is give my information if it’s scanned, a GPS tracker would be way more useful. A few weeks ago I had to chase him all around my apartment complex until he decided to stop in a nearby ditch-like area under a large fallen tree. He refused to come out and I had to crawl on my hands…

Anything that doesn’t make sense you are just supposed to accept as an act of God. It’s not our place to question God or his ways, and obviously God could make this boat float and hold all these animals from all across the land. He’s God, he can do anything, how dare you question him.
