Yeah, this makes me really mad :/ add to it that breast cancer, while one of the most common cancers, has one of the lowest death rates - one of the reasons its advocacy has been so sucessful is because there are so many survivors who will walk/march/advocate on the issue, including some very high profile ones.…

Yeah - like, I don’t personally enjoy the theme, but none of the pictures posted in this article or thread show blackface. The people with dirt/charcoal on their faces are doing the Western part of the theme, going as ye old gold-miners - the people who went with the Kanye theme drew on facial hair and padded their…

Greek, Italian, and Chinese - seriously, if it was any child other than their own, they’d be in jail.

...please tell me you’re referring to the magical children’s books about mice and rabbits and such?

Especially potent ginger wine, apparently (I have a chest infection and he just offered me strong as fuck ginger wine with spiced rum - very sweet of him, but I have work!)

Indeed. In their case, it’s newsagents and fruit shops etc.

See, I’m not even sure which side was photoshopped :P Because very, very thin women sometimes don’t have an arse, so aren’t both sides photoshopped, one to have a pert, curved arse cheek and the other flat - I mean, it looks like it was sent out too early and the other arse cheek hadn’t been added in yet... I’m so…

I think it’s because of the fight for marriage equality and children - in order to get these things from ‘straight’ (cis, often white) pro-family types, gays and lesbians have had to appeal to a pro-family, stable, easily/more acceptable to straight bigots image. This rejects trans, pan, poly members of the queer…

I would say just L and G - the bisexuals get treated like shit, too.

Friends who are the children of immigrant small-business owners agree - as adults, they now express shock at how their parents exploited them for free labor, often from a very early age, in clear violations of worker rights and labor laws. But at the same time, “that’s just how it is and how it’s always been”.

My partner has some insanely potent elderberry ‘wine’ that he swears will cure all ills. That’s what they’re referring to, right?

An autistic child is also not a potentially leathel threat to other children, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems, either.

At least when I was there, it wasn’t hugely different from other menus - and they weren’t ordering anything unique (I tried the prawn burger at Maccas) to Japan, they were ordering the same thing available in Australia.

Exactly. When I studied in Japan, I was shocked at other internationals insisted on going to KFC and Maccas for every meal. I mean, I went to Maccas once (as a “I wonder how different it is” social experiment kinda thing) but that was it - eating local was way more fun, tasted nicer and was far cheaper. I couldn’t…

“Over the past several weeks we have been asking serious and, frankly, troubling questions about how infant lives are being treated.”

Yep. Like, either these things happen because the crazy people get their hands on guns, or these things happen because Americans are just a particular kind of crazy - one of those has a solution, so maybe it would be great idea to try it out. OR everyone can just accept that this is going to happen and ah well,…

See, like, bitchy opinion here, but I think her hair looks awful - over straightened, distressed, brittle and crooked.

Well, I mean, that’s MY end game as a dude, but who the hell says that’s what every woman should be trying to achieve?

I...have to agree, as much as it pains me. I’ve had a fringe (aka bangs) twice now - the first time at the urging of a hairdresser I trusted with my life (and who betrayed me), the second time because I had obviously wiped the memory of the first time from my mind.

Yes. To deny that is to argue some (weird, twisted) American exceptionalism. Other countries have young angry misogynistic men with untreated mental health issues - they are not committing mass shootings/killings. So, either the determining factor is the ability to obtain a weapon that enables these crimes, or…
