ugh, i had a big discussion about this with a fellow redditor and it annoyed the shit out of me. his argument was that by being cautious we were unjustly “treating them like criminals”, that some guys were like that but not most, not him. i explained that we aren’t assuming that all guys, or most guys are, or that he…

hey, a friend of mine called her son malachi. i think its a neat compromise, provided you dont hate “malachi”, of course, because you can call him kai all you want and if it gets weird or nonsensey, you can switch back to malachi, or mal, or some other syllable that pleases you.

i know we have programs like that in my city, but lots of them are done by volunteer. you can volunteer to be an escort who takes people to doctor, shows them how to encounter the bus/the grocery store, even cook in our kitchens (depending on the level of technology theyre used to, i guess?). you can help with…

“men just dont SEE mess”

i was thinking the same thing. its not, “your culture is bad, our culture is good, fix yourself”, its, “no matter what was ok there, these are the laws here and if you choose to make your home here, you are expected to comply.” a lot of group membership contexts involve both benefits and responsibilities, its not akin…

im canadian and was recently looking at a job posting through a social services agency in which one, with the help of interpreters, leads seminars with newcomers (immigrants/refugees) on canadian parenting values. my first impression was: doesnt that imply foreigners don’t know how to parent, that there is a cohesive…

“whats the sense in hurting my pride”

i dont really get this argument. the act of clicking on and reading something negates your ability comment on the content? like others have said, i read it because i thought it sounded like it could be interesting. turned out to just be “blogger mistakes self-deprecation for self-congratulation and petty…

are you actually suggesting that the fact that our society sucks at dealing with rape and rape victims means survivors are dumb for coming out with the truth?

wow, thats the first ive seen of him since the report. not....good. his political stuff sounded somewhat like old him, just slower and toned down, but the dressing room bit was cringe levels of unfunny. is that the cost of taking over for letterman, blandly unfunny and fallon-esque? or was that just a particularly…

thank you, my thoughts exactly. people, its cool if you want to reproduce, thats fine. no, youre not a hero. no, your child isnt a miracle. no, the world doesnt owe you because you made what is the inherently and fundamentally selfish choice of reproducing. this is part of why abortions need to be available and…

its not about her being “ugly” or anything. If her hair was vibrantly. freshly dyed red and she tried to blonde it with a box dye, it would be brassier orange, not gentle blonde. she would still look like her, but her hair would look like she tried to do a professional task with a box from the pharmacy, like the rest…

hey now, we canadians call it “pop”. its not an affectation, just the done thing. people who call it “soda” here stand out and will likely be mocked... unless theyre actually foreign.

the thing about a rating is, you dont know the quality of a person whos giving the rating

beh. i’m the first one to shit on our “universal healthcare” in canada for how lacking it can be compared to other countries with systems like that in place...but good god this makes me feel grateful for being canadian. i’d still be on the hook for the cost of prescription meds if i didnt have insurance, but i could…

i like “going all night” in a fuck, chill, fuck, chill-type situation. lots of short and hot sexy times interspersed with hang outs and smiles with your gentleman friend. marathon sex is the woooorst in both a boring and an increasingly physically unpleasant kind of way..

i agree! i was raised catholic, and even though i got the shit out of that faith at the earliest possible convenience, and have always been pro-choice, for many years i harboured the lingering “safe, legal, and rare” sentiment. it took me so long to realize that i was approaching abortion as a kind of “necessary evil”…

uh, durr. literally just look several comments above on this very thread where u/noble renard clarifies how much of the video was sketchy edited garbage created to portray mistruths. the lawsuit does indeed “do something to discredit the information they gathered”. in fact, to make it easier for you, ill just…

I STAYED HERE AND DIDNT KNOW ABOUT ITS HISTORY TILL NIGHTTIME. we went out for sushi and for some reason were reading reviews on the hotel we’d checked into that afternoon and FOUND OUT ITS A MURDER HOTEL. then we had to walk home in la in the dark and go up to our room in the murder hotel and sleep there. exciting in…

i trust youre referring to the dratch-and-ferrell-at-the-weshley-arms pronunciation?
