Gotten laid.

Yeah, I don't see the commercial as being a parody of the song. This makes me sad, because I like the Beasties and the song and the commercial. But I understand that if you want to hold a copyright, you have to enforce it every time, regardless of whether the infringing party happens to be cool.

And yes, it's exactly like telling a depressed person to think positive.

This whole thread is one big "calm down, sweetie" and thus I am getting more and more pissed off.

When a man "leaps into problem-solving mode" during an argument, he is often saying, "Please shut up. I will do whatever I can to make you shut up."

1. Often people talk about "natural rights." John Locke defined them as life, liberty, and property. The word "natural," by the way, means "having a certain status by birth." Birth. The "nat" part is like in neonatal or nativity. It means birth. So yeah, it's a pretty long-held idea that people acquire rights…

I'd rather sleep with a guy and not orgasm than orgasm alone from my vibrator.

That cat reminds me of Benedict Cumberbatch.

When we started sex ed, we had to go around the room and say, "Penis vagina uterus testicles" so that everyone had said them without the giggles and thus we could discuss later on. That was a good idea. Introduce us to the vocabulary.

I did that as a child. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I did not learn what masturbation was until college. I was 17 when the Seinfeld episode aired and I went through the whole thing thinking it was about sex, which really didn't make sense.

I was taught that all STDs were incurable except gonorrhea. Syphilis, chlamydia, no treatment, no cure, you're doooooomed.

They separated us for the period talk in 5th grade. The girls got information and a pamphlet while the boys went outside and played football. They didn't separate us for general sex ed the next year.

That's terrible. Music replacement is terrible. I will not buy the "Quantum Leap" DVDs because of all the missing music, especially "Georgia on My Mind." It sucks that the only alternative seems to be not offering the show at all.

Punchable? Probably.

If "gay" was such a problem, why did the thing have to quote that line anyway? These are greeting card people. Surely they can come up with something punny about ugly sweaters?

I'm glad it's classified as a disorder, because it is one. For several months after I started treatment for depression, I found myself having hellish weekends about 10-7 days before every period. Hellish. Suicidal ideation, paralyzing depression, intrusive thoughts, lying on the floor crying. Then my psychiatrist…

Not to mention, apparently fucking is anti-social behavior.

I don't think it has anything to do with social media. I think it has to do with the overall stress level of society. Their parents are stressed. Their teachers are stressed. It's contagious, and it takes a toll on the mind and the brain chemistry.

I was 36, ladies. I think I win.

I read them all. I found them delightfully awful, though I hate to hear so many women praising Christian Grey as an admirable character, reading it as a great romance. No no no no no.
