While I do understand your unease because terrorism - in the traditional sense of the term we use it, all its connotations and racist, islamophobic overtones, and its overuse in the media since 9/11 - it still seems to me that the definition you provided still seems fitting to the context of domestic violence:

That seems like a uselessly broad definition though.

Dictionary definitions vary. Sometimes, it says “especially for political purposes.” Sometimes, politics is left out altogether and you’re left with a coercive act that generates great fear. Either of those work in most cases of continual domestic violence and abuse. The final act in this case is less obviously meant…

Well, you live in terror when you have a situation like this.

Fucking Anderson.

Dude. I’m a sex educator. Like, professionally. For a living. It’s my job to help people avoid STDs. This has nothing to do with my “issues,” and everything to do with decades of research and public health knowledge and talking to thousands of people about STDs every day. 

Of course you have the right to set whatever…

No need to pit them against each other, rather.

I fuckin’ love people like you because you think you’re being all safe and careful and logical when you say something like this.

The Cheat is to the limit!!

This is a great service!

Target sells them now, but they do seem a little different from when my friends would bring them. The secret apparently is to bite the corners across from each other and use it as a straw with coffee...

TimTams from Australia! I’ve found them once or twice in the USA at general supermarkets branded as “Arnott’s” alone, and they’re consistently stocked at my local World Market (for a hefty markup). I can eat a whole package in a single sitting without noticing, and during a brief time living in Sydney my friends and I…

While watching ‘Spaced’ with Simon Pegg, the characters kept mentioning Jaffa Cakes. I was able to find them in one store’s international aisle and they are delicious.

“Did it ever bug the hell out of anyone else that Baby and Johnny dance to a song that was clearly produced in the late ‘80s... in 1963?”

Are you kidding? Bidets are best for hairy butts. Best $30 I ever spent.

Came here to spread the bidet gospel. I bought one off of here last year and it changed my life. Definitely spray and use 1 to 2 squares to wipe dry. It’s a real game changer. Haven’t bought more toilet paper in over 9 months.

I don’t think there’s a comparable city in the United States.

Holy crap I’m delighted to learn other people that age watched 20/20. My parents thought it was a strange habit.

It’s probably slightly more likely that this person isn’t able to move abroad for myriad reasons than that they’re not aware other places exist.
