My ex was a nurse anesthetist with a great job offer in Huntsville, I managed to snag a gig as part time admissions counselor at a local college. I was gonna be a stay at home parent long term and it seemed like a genuinely awesome place, but we couldnt muster the will to move from the DC burbs, where we lived all our…

Yeah, but with some degree of threat behind it. By that I mean real changes that could have been made in the 10s, 20s and 30s. By the time the 40s came around it was just fearmongering.

My uninformed speculation is that ballhawk controversies get the attention every summer because we need something to talk about. NBA free agency has died down, NFL camps haven’t started nor have NFL domestic abuse investigations progressed to the point of indictment. White knuckle pennant races aren't in the final…

Ugg, sorry you’re getting flamed. Use the ignore button. I got what you were saying.

Yeah, fair point, but so is checking for your closest emergency exit and hands at 10 and 2. If someone official-seeming tells me otherwise I’ve been known to turn my brain off because I’m human.

My dad just educated me on that phrase this morning. You’re in the know. Until this I just had a vague notion that his uncle piloted one and said they were shit, I didnt get the danger of them. My son is 4, and we go to the National Aquarium a lot and it’s right where the duck boats go into the Baltimore harbor. He’s…

He seems to have some demons. I do too. I can’t imagine his life, it has to be stressful, but I do feel for his daughter more than him. Yeah she’s living a dream, but sometimes I think those people are billionaire inmates.

I've been pretty shocked that he's threaded the needle for so long on this shit. I strongly feel theres a racial element here...not the race of the perpetrator but the presumed race of the victims.

Yup, what IonizedDare said. The downward angle is what gives the illusion of height. If you look at the south asian and east african cultures that do the ringing that makes one’s neck look extremely long, the actual length of the neck and vertebrae only changes by like a centimeter, the visual effect is achieved by…

Thanks, much appreciated. Not to be hyperbolic, but it’s kinda like Eichmann. His defense was that he was looking at maps and population counts. To an extent I believe that. It’s really hard to see human beings when your job is to see numbers and efficacy and beneficial outcomes. That’s why the law has to change.…

That was supposed to say stage3c. Sorry, if that was confusing. (i also suffer from non-compliant fingers)

Pretty sure she'd be a Domme. Obvs, a lot  of people go the opposite way in scenes than in real life, but I get a vibe.

Most kinksters I know are pretty vanilla in public spaces because you don’t want to get your kicks from some innocent persons eyeballs. And while chokers are pretty tame and worn by non kinky people and the public at large wouldn’t care, if you had a friend who knew YOU were into BDSM  but wasn’t into it themselves tha…

American health care is causing a lot of strain on my family right now. I have heart failure, a blood clot in my heart and mental illness and my mom, who lives with me, was diagnosed with Stage4C breast cancer just 3 days before she was ready to start Medicare. Medicare and Aetna spent 2 weeks fighting about who would…

My working situation 2o11-2015 was at an company that had grown and managed irresponsibly for 10 years. We were losing vendors and clients left and right. I started out as a staff attorney, basically the last they hired before the bottom fell out. While everyone just dump sticky repeat problems on me and busted their…

Childos?

I know this is late as fuck, but I just really want to congratulate you both on your two day conversation about dog poop.

He loses me with his persistent animal cruelty shit. The rest I can write off as an addict in a spiral. Taking time from to hurt and abuse dogs repeatedly, means he's probably shitty on the inside.

This is the point I have to make over and over again to people, and by people I mean men, if you want to send a dirty picture, why not ask first? I usually am pretty interested in seeing your dick, and if you ask, I’ll probably say yes. If someone says “no thanks” maybe you can still come back from that. There’s no…

You made me spit my coffee out. Well done.
