He’s not actually wrong about child sexuality, but he is deeply, deeply wrong about notions of “intergenerational sex”.

Unless he’s a serial killer, that there gesture was his get-out-of-purgatory-free card :)

Oh nooo, I would have *loved* that solution, that’s a really cute and heartfelt effort...

I agree, so-called “universal” health care (as it’s currently implemented in Canada), is not a panacea so no, it won’t solve all health care problems in the US, it would just be a (great) first step.

We have medically trained and government regulated midwives in most Canadian provinces/territories too (as well as specialized Aboriginal midwifery programs), they have legal partnerships with hospitals and ob-gyns and fully equipped birthing centres for the more hippy-minded. They’ll even come to your home with all…

They’re only a “mad complicated” problem if there’s no comprehensive, patient-centric, non-profit health care system in place to manage them. Over a 5 year period, two of Canada’s *most* rural regions (northern territories), had NO maternal deaths - but two others (PEI and Yukon) had the highest rates (which likely…

It’s all good, cheese cake fills in the wrinkles better than botox :)

I’m 42 and look less corpse-like...

It`s a descendant of old war games/training exercises - totally stupid (sorry/not sorry, football is booooring), but def not for kids...

My (recently deceased) cat went through phases, we picked him from his litter because he’s the one that came and fell asleep in my hands, purring like a maniac, when all his siblings were more interested in wrestling. Then he turned into the craziest, funniest kitten, constantly in trouble (like would get locked in…

I don’t get that need... I mean, I posted about my cat being killed but it was a week after it happened, and was more to let my friends know why I was mopey and maudlin about their damn cute animal posts :( I have never posted anything about my dad’s death (which still affects me), and that was nearly 20 years ago for…

Critical faculties still intact over here at 42! But then, I live in Canada, so maybe the colder air in the winters helps?

My dream house includes a fully kitted out, cedar lined Japanese bathroom with separate muscial WC! Someday...

Or the reverse, you can get your period immediately post partum (I had a break of exactly 6 weeks after my baby was born yet breastfed without issues for 15 months), and not be ovulating... The long and short? If you don’t want to get knocked up immediately after having a baby, get thee an IUD stat, regardless of…

Oh I’ve definitely done the extra flush to prevent any, er, untoward incidents, and I should caveat my comments with an acknowldegment of those with genuninely shy waste dispostal systems... but if you’re flushing that much you’re not shy, you’re just unhealthily obsessed with poop :)

And so weird - I loved it, and my very cool Japanese friends who showed me even weirder stuff :)

I lived in Japan for a couple of years in my mid-20s (a while ago now), those toilets were hilarious, most of my friends and I were first introduced to them in the conference floor washrooms at the Tokyo Hilton and there were a few squeals as we experiemented with various buttons ;p

My 4 year old daughter calls them dinosaur cacas and makes me and her dad come look at them ;p

And be far less olfactorily (totally a word) obnoxious frankly...

Huh, I had the exact opposite experience working in a hotel. As the one responsible for the main floor dining room/bar lounge bathroom, let me tell you, men are fucking filthy!
