YES!  THANK YOU!  That’s what I was saying.

I seriously don’t get how the guy controls himself. Like if you’re sleeping with a human but you got full yellow sun kryptonian powers are you basically just having slow gentle sex all the time? What if he only got off to rough sex? Seems...sad.

yeah my wife asked me to come with her for most of the appointments but it was really clear I wasn’t REALLY supposed to be there from the way the staff acted. And then beyond that I was asking questions and kind of treated like an idiot. Which, yeah my wife knew the answers to the questions I was asking the doctor so…

I was expecting something different from the comments lol. Yeah I agree. I understand women shoulder this huge burden and make huge sacrifices into parenthood and that there are way more expectations and pressure on women than men. I don’t mean to diminish that. But I’m terrified of being a shit dad. I’m terrified of…

Learning about back alley abortions, catholic censorship, and talking to women who crossed state lines to desperately get the needed care.  Also strangely reading a lot of Hannah Arendt’s works on political power/oppression.

I wouldn’t say you’re doing a disservice, and I have no right to make that kind of judgement on anyone anyway.  I’m merely thinking through what kind of talking points and words would be effective.  I really like your approach and perspective on it.

I don’t think there has been a significant response, no.

Yeah but the problem there is that you could get someone who says they’re all for reproductive rights, but then someone else has a law that they say isn’t impeding reproductive rights, it just puts “sensible” guard rails around abortion to protect babies.  It sounds so reasonable that plenty of people get behind it,…

fivethirtyeight had a good podcast around this too. It’s a multifaceted issue of course but there’s a couple of key parts to this.

There’s a lot of bad that has happened in modern times, sure.  But every time someone tells me about the “good ol days” I think about stuff like this, or my own time in the hospital right after birth, and how so many lives are literally saved and made better due to modern medicine and science.

So many endings!  And the guide didn’t even cover all of them.  But it was a good guide.

Came here for the Q reference!  Was not disappointed.

well to be clear “Accounting” is completely different from “Account manager”.  Banking looks for unpaid or underpaid interns so that’s the main issue.  Someone with no college probably doesn’t have the resources to take an unpaid internship whereas someone in college may be fortunate enough to do so. 

I was telling some people about a car I really wanted.  A big part of it was that it’s affordable but also just silly.  I got roundly mocked and asked why I wasn’t dreaming of something like a rare lambo or lotus.  I mean yeah...those cars rock...but I couldn’t really afford them (maybe a beat up lotus.  Maybe...) and…

yeah account managers and account execs definitely don’t need college.  Can’t figure out why they require it.  Data entry for SURE doesn’t require it.  Lots of other jobs too in the tech and business world.

and you need to do them to get the dragon flowers to get your characters into +10 range again.  It’s an odd powercreep to be sure :-\

Fire Emblem Heroes is pure crack.  I love it.  I used to spend some money on it but I’m 100% F2P now.  The only problem is that there are SO many different games and events going on, I get really lost and I miss things.  Plus I hate Aether Raids.

I don’t think that’s true.  It’ll take some time but people will realize it’s just not worth it.  $100?  rolled into a loan?  Nah.  The trouble is that you start talking to dealers and you get over $1000 difference, so then you keep going back and forth cutting it down because you know the other guy CAN cut it down. …

Lots of people never chose to get incarcerated. And often times it is an unfair system that forces it on them in a way that others don’t get it forced on them. 

That’s pretty much the situation every time.  FWIW Toyota never charged their Prius prime either but at least hybrid mode is representative of the power you’ll get while driving.  The clarity with a dead EV is SO SLOW and SO LOUD.  Still though I couldn’t get over the Prius Prime’s lack of cargo space and lack of a…
