No app needs your location when you’re not using the app. Even freaking maps. Only ever allow location services to be on while an app is in use and even keep that to a minimum. Not just because of this. Just generally.

That’s the bit that leapt out to me. “abortion of a quick child” That’s a pregnancy that you can feel kicking, right there. Even this Hale dude didn’t consider a fetus alive until that point which google informs me happens 16-25 weeks into a pregnancy.

If she winds up opting against UT-Dallas, encourage her to make sure they know why

FWIW, if you’re a US citizen, your kid will be one no matter where they’re born

I am not at all sure about pants that short with shoes that high.

Eh, it’s less of a gotcha and more of a “would you temporarily put your own desires and preferences aside to alleviate a major source of suffering for literally millions of people?” Oh, you wouldn’t, Ted? Shocking. What’s that you say? Your own disgust response takes precedence for you over the ability of others to…

Just emailed everyone who represents me asking them to introduce legislation protecting the right to privacy in one’s personal life, both nationally and specifically in my state (because if it winds up coming down to state laws, we gotta be ready) And, really, when you put it that way, who is going to object to having…

He’s still a dumb piece of dog shit though.

Yes to back flexibility! I can put my hands flat on the ground no problem and most of the stretch that lets me do that is not coming through my hamstrings, it’s coming from my lower back. I think a lot of people over-focus on stretching through the legs for that one.

Same, clit stimulation is required! The first time touched myself during sex, the dude immediately lost his erection. Not encouraging! However, since then I’ve found guys who think it’s hot! Those are the keepers! With my current BF, I told him I need clit involvement fairly early on and the next time I came over, he…

Right? This is way bigger than contraception. They’re saying the federal judiciary shouldn’t be able to overrule state judiciary, which functionally would mean that federal law couldn’t overrule state law. They’re arguing for the breakup of the country.

I grew up in an indoor shoe house and the best way I can explain why it was like that was kind of the idea that to not have shoes on is to not be fully dressed. When you get dressed in the morning, you put shoes on and you don’t take them off until you get undressed at night. (we also didn’t do different…

I wouldn’t trust a rando off Tinder if he said he was using it, but a lot of sex happens in the context of relationships too and this would probably be more useful there. Like, I’ve got an IUD that’s good for several more years, but my BF is getting a vasectomy next month anyway because he wants to be sure (and he’s…

I swear I heard about this sperm-blocking gel being in human trials in India like a decade ago with promising early results. What the heck is the hold up?

Extremely true. On Prime video my “recommended for you” list is all stuff related to the last thing I watched. Want to find something related to the second to last thing I watched? No dice.

Glad you included My Dinner with André. I feel like this movie was endlessly mocked for being boring because it’s just a couple of guys sitting around talking, but it’s a fantastic conversation! One that you’re glad you get to eavesdrop on!

Honestly, becoming a bog body is goals. There’s a bog near a place that’s special to me. When I go, wrap me in a sheet and chuck me in.

For out-there perfumes, check out Etat Libre d’Orange too. Their Jasmine and Cigarettes does exactly what it says on the tin, but in a good way. I haven’t had a chance to smell the Annee 69, but apparently it also does what it says on the tin. You can get a bag of, like, 30 samples from them and it’s all crazy shit.

God, I wish people actually learned the subjunctive in English! Was/were and similar are a huge pet peeve.

Yeah, but it’s a Wisconson company, not a French company. The Croix part is a reference to the St. Croix river, which is pronounced “Croy” because midwest. Don’t try too hard on this one
