No kidding. I WISH it was a choice because I wouldn’t chose men, lol.

Yeah, the door my ex tore apart was a FB memory once (yes, I posted a pic of it on FB). Thanks, FB, I really liked finding that in my feed.

You do realize that there is color blindness, color weakness (especially with red and green) and that color is very cultural. Some cultures don’t identify distinctions between the same colors as we do, some have more colors than we can distinguish.

Fuck being un-grayed! Sometimes the world is unfair and we have to accept that being in the gray is our lot in life.

My dad would get angry when he bought a product and saw the instructions in French and Spanish; he’d be really enraged if it was some Asian language. It didn’t matter if I tried to explain to him that the companies sold those products in other countries and maybe the same set of instructions were included for all…

It’s not that much different than my dad talking about where he was when Pearl Harbor was bombed or when people talk about where they were when JFK was shot. These sorts of events are seared into our memories in a way that most days aren’t.

Snopes is responsible for getting my inlaws (now EX-inlaws) to stop emailing me all their stupid, mostly republican-god-amerika, shit. I would send a reply not just to them, but to everyone in their chain of stupid. It didn’t take long for them to stop including me.

Amazingly, I have enough ridicule to go around. I can ridicule this because boys are never given this message either. I grew up in an xian house, went to xian schools, so I’m quite familiar with these sexist expectations.

“beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit” isn’t misogynistic enough for you?

Damn

Yeah, this deserves all the criticism it gets. Sorry if it hurts your pride.

My father died about a year and a half ago. He was very religious and I obliged that by arranging a very Southern Baptist funeral for him. There was a preacher, a full blown sermon, and hymns. I’m an atheist, but this was my father, and I respected his wishes.

My local Walmart has it.

Does no one see a problem with the government using illegally released data for this?

Ah, the whole, “all rapists are monsters or animals” trope (which also means that women should be able to spot a rapist in a minute, from a mile away). Nope, some of them are the bros in your frat who think they have a right to violate women and that women owe them sex for whatever reason. Putting up those signs show…

Sure, they’re manageable, but it’s still expensive and there’s a level of hassle and discomfort involved. Just having a thyroid condition means I have to take a pill every day, wait to eat, get more expensive blood tests every year or so. There are more doctors visits, often to a specialist. I’ve had to have an…

Then why not force everyone to give body parts to a dying child? Why should a woman be forced to carry a pregnancy that could potentially cause her death, affect her health for the rest of her life or prevent her from carrying a wanted pregnancy later? Women are much more than their uterus.

Yes, I’d like to live in the Star Trek universe. I’d like to never face another serious medical crises again. I’d like to not watch my mother struggle with the affects of her stroke. If I had kids, I’d want them to be healthy. I’d also want to know that they could be independent adult someday. I’m sure any parent of a…

I was thinking the same thing until I got to the part where his family didn’t intervene and calmly unpacked, then ate, the food.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m the only child of older parents. My mom had a serious stroke when I was 35, my dad died when I was 40 (he was 89), and now I’m going to be living with my mom at 42.
