I think the difference in violence you’re talking about is a good example of how patriarchal culture hurts women AND men - women are taught one set of behaviours, which does not generally lead to taking over federal buildings, hoarding guns, being aggressive, etc., and men are taught another set, which does increase…

Agreed. Being a paid artist is hard, but the odds are still better than being an astronaut or president.

I went to an arts school for classical music performance and then MIT and graduated a year early with an extremely good GPA.

this is how my cat talks! except she would only make bills about cheese.

I think it’s the worst Asimov thing I’ve read... the economic + psychology stuff he came up with is pretty cool, the Shelden Crises and stuff is a really really cool and interesting plot device/ philosophical and political device, but tbh the whole thing could be summarized in way fewer pages and without the…

I don’t think you sounded strident or like you were attacking Jane Marie. Very relateable frustration, resentment, disappointment, and resignation all directed at society was the tone I got. : )

I don’t think it works for anyone! I am white, 5’6” or 5’7”, and at the time I’m describing I was anorexic, eating less than 1 energy bar per day but drinking whole milk and water. I mean even with the whole milk obviously that’s not enough food, nutrients, calories. I don’t know what my body fat was, but I am sure it…

BMI is bullshit. People are meant to be built differently. My weight was still fine according to BMI when I was constantly cold, lethargic, and passing out, with wild mood swings... That’s obviously not okay, BMI be damned.

I think that’s like... the most reasonable thing about them... they were saying “Jew-dice” because that’s I guess how they americanized it, but I guess at some point enough people had said “Jew-dee-chay” because they knew something about italian pronunciation, that Teresa and Joe figured people could handle that…

I understand how the #NotAllMen guys feel when this comes up. It really is hard to resist... you just feel really guilty and want to defend yourself...

shouldn’t it be “say my piece” not “say my peace”. i think you’re quoting another publication so not correcting you, just like. it is irking me. for no justifiable reason. other than raven-symone is generally irksome.

lyme disease

This is not a correction, just curious... I have never heard anyone use horror show in this context (I mean, I understand what you’re saying), I have only heard it mean “good”, as it did in Clockwork Orange (and since then in random other parts of the zeitgeist), which was based on horosho (Russian for good, no idea…

I think he has OCPD.

I think he has OCPD.

Jonathan is gross. I think he’s my least favorite person on the entire show.

This might be a generous theory, but... in my family (and maybe others?), they’re a xmas tradition (along with regular gifts tho?), so maybe it’s a “thing” and they do it every year and everyone thinks it’s cute?

I think the phrase is more self-deprecating than self-congratulatory.

I love Too Much, Girl! They were (are, hopefully!) great. : D
