“The bad traits sort of melt away into the overall picture of who the person is.”

Don’t frame it as desperate; say that you are actively looking. When I’ve dated, I just say “I’m at a place in my life where I’m ready for a partner!” Ain’t nothing wrong with that!

Kentucky is one of the poorest states. There are women for whom simply paying for the procedure is too great a burden — never mind taking a few days to drive up to Cincy (assuming they can even get an appointment, since that clinic will be SLAMMED if Kentucky’s all closed), stay in a hotel during the damned “waiting…

Is anyone else watching 13 Reasons Why? I haven’t read the book, FWIW.

Just because you do something different from past partners doesn’t mean he doesn’t like you. He may just be noticing the difference between past partners and you, plus you may have way bigger boobs than his past partners and its ore comfortable for you to sleep in a bra because of that. And thats ok! But if you don’t…

You mean like THIS LIL BOSS BABY:

Anyone else hopelessly fixated on that nostril?

As someone who is Gen X, trust me when I say: guys in their 20s and 30s, whether Boomers or GenX or the current crop, have always been the fucking worst. It is known.

I can accept choices. Doesn’t mean I have to agree with them or can’t still view them as wrong and verbalise that feeling if I choose to.

Ban the wedding registry. Seriously. With the average age of people getting married slowly getting higher and higher and a majority of women (because that’s who the registry was originally for) have already lived on their own for a number of years anyway, wedding gifts and registries are a fucking joke for all the…

My ex-mother-in-law was shocked - SHOCKED - that I didn’t want a wedding shower. For multiple reasons, really, but chief among them was that I felt it was in poor taste to ask people to a) throw me a party (particularly when people were already insisting on throwing me a bachelorette party), and b) to get me gifts…

Leggings aren’t pants. There, I said it. Leggings are not pants. How fucking lazy have we all become? And I wear my Docs when I fly as they are too heavy to pack. Oh no! 2 additional minutes to put them back on.

Employees with uniforms being required to be dressed smart-casual+ when using staff services (air staff on jump-seats etc) is totally, completely, and utterly standard, and the same for next-of-kin extensions.

eh, when i was working in the industry, it never was that strict and i’ve never seen anyone get booted (because they knew the rules). my airline was collared shirt, non-ripped jeans were ok, but no sandals. i didn’t like it, but i thought that was the lowest possible bar to get over. is it that difficult for people…

Yeah, I think we are essentially on the same page, no worries!

You are right, but my point is that we still have it as a last line of defense for putting those new bills down as unconstitutional. So, while I totally get your stance (and share your frustration and cynicism) that it’s been rendered essentially useless, in reality it isn’t (not yet, at least) and I fear that if we…

90% of counties don’t have an abortion provider, so in reality the Supreme Court decision doesn’t matter. Most women don’t have access.

And don’t forget that when you become a mom “you finally know your purpose, you feel a love that is so much bigger than yourself, you don’t understand how you ever lived before you had the happiness that is hatching a human.” Sorry, that kind of talk pisses me off too, like non parents are wanting in full emotions and…

This is yet another reminder that having a child does not suddenly make you an expert on literally anything, and that the act of birth is something that literally billions upon billions of people around the world, both very smart and incredibly fucking dumb, have done throughout millenia.
