Thank you so much. I utterly agree that management is the problem. As a black woman in tech I recently had a co workers who was big on the “can I touch your hair” microagressions. When he was leaving I told my manager out of curiosity as to whether he would have done something about it. His response “what do you want…

The advantage of Da’esh is that that reportedly they hate it.

Thank you so much for this summary I had started reading them with my son and he’s very soft hearted so he would have hated this so much.

I am not sure that it is inate but I wonder if it is learned early. My son watches “boy” cartoons like G I Joe and ‘girl’ cartoons like ‘tinkerbell’ and the ‘boy’ ones never or hardly ever deal with friends and emotions and the ‘girl’ ones deal with those even in the adventure stories. Maybe the starting point is to…

This is possible. I remember the moment I became pro choice it was just after the first time I had sex and I realized there was no way I was going to derail my life if I got pregnant.

In my experience the racism in the UK is different than in the US. The UK seems to have 2 types of racism one very in your face and harsh but non violent “Climb back up in a tree you monkey” and one which is just an understanding that ‘we’ are better than ‘those sort’. America by contrast seems to have the super…

Suppose you just had a fight, or you’re going through a bad patch or your partner is experiencing depression or your partner is very drunk and then the other person makes a move. The response of your partner might be different then even though normally they are totally trustworthy. It just seems easier for everyone to…

Are the dinners and drinks in a public place like restaurant and bars or in a private place with no one else like hotel rooms or another single person’s home? I am guessing that the hotel room scenario is what is meant by totally alone and I also admit to not being comfortable with that because if nothing else the…

Either call the police or leave the body at the side of the road so it would be found in a day. Which one depends on whether or not I think the police/judicial system would railroad me. Second part is impossible for me since I have only been drunk once in my life and never go out drinking without a designated driver…

No way that is way too good for him. He should suffer in prison for the rest of his life. Nice respected guy like that will hate prison.

Look at it this way if those ‘God fearing folks’ are right and heaven is real then they will most likely end up in hell with that ‘Christ-like person’ because Christ had a lot to say about people like that and none of it positive.

Is it a teen thing? I went to high school in another country where we all had private changing rooms with a curtain. However in college and now in gyms yes there are always people walking around naked. I always find it strange and end up changing in the bathroom or shower because I’m just odd that way.

You should check actually whether he can. I know in some states the man can do this the same way a woman does on the marriage license but on others he’ll actually have to go to court to legally change his name. I think CA recently changed this so men can change in the same way as women but it would be worth doing a…

Maybe try the solution a lot of latin americans do where the kids have both parents last names? Forms do have first/middle/last but they will let you have more than one on a drivers license, social security etc. I have 5. my son has 4 because British tradition is two middle names.

I don’t know 100% for sure but mine does and I use it all the time. In general there should be no reason that one would not since Paypal can connect to any bank account, debit card or credit card so if your credit union can provide one of those you should be set.

Switch to a credit union they will at least let you disable the feature

Thank you so much for writing this. I am trying to make sure that my son understands that this default assumption that I find prevalent in American culture that the poor are just lazy or stupid or somehow to blame for their situation and that those who are better off somehow deserve it is sickening and wrong. I’m…
