That is an excellent combination of my two favorite strategies.

I have gotten good at either hiding in bathrooms when I think it is going to occur or getting so shit faced that I do not care about anything.

I can’t even imagine. I freaked the fuck out when my anesthesiology professor put me on the spot and hooked me up to a blood pressure and heartrate monitor in front of a lecture hall, but that... that would put me in therapy for years.

Yes, why can’t we have both? I have the opposite problem. I am ridiculously long waisted, and low-rise jeans make me look like I have stunted tree trunks for legs stuck onto the torso of a giant.

From what I can tell, it’s more like a commitment, like you wish yourself a virgin real hard and make a commitment to save yourself for marriage, and POOF magical virgin or something. Like, I’ve gone without sex waaaay longer than she had at the time, but since I lacked the commitment, apparently I wouldn’t qualify.

Yeah, this, because my number would be either really, really high or pretty low depending on how you define this.

Or worse...preachy born again virgins. After a college acquaintance started dating a religious guy and she decided she wanted to marry him, I learned more than I ever wanted to about “secondary virginity.”

Although many will probably tear their hymens from riding the unicorns. It’s like the catch 22 of the Unicorn Cavalry.

I tried to count the number of ways that photo is in appallingly bad taste or outright offensive, but my brain felt like it was going to explode, so I’m going to console myself with kittens and red wine and back away slowly.

Not just anti-birth control. It always amazes me that almost 100% of the anti-choice people I know also oppose things like paid maternity leave legislation and support for working mothers and economically strapped families. Also, they are judgy about people having kids out of wedlock. I feel like if you really want to…

Sadly, we have them in NJ too, so even blue states aren’t exempt. I took my 4 yo niece to the farm fair last summer and was accosted by a very determined woman with little plastic fetus dolls.

I’m morbidly fascinated by that. It’s actually better than the ones a lot of the anti choice people use because the feti in the kit are more accurate in that the early ones look like aliens/ generic mammal feti rather than eraser sized full-term babies.

I really wish I hadn’t read that. The medical and legal double talk is...staggering.

Lol, nope. I just had the Oxford comma beat out of me by a contract assignment with a medical firm that had a strange anti-Oxford comma fetish. I thought I’d never learn to leave it out, and now, I’ve just stopped.

My sister’s in laws are like this. I barely tolerate hugs, and they want to kiss everyone on the mouth. It weirds me out and then, they make it worse for teasing me about it. I avoid parties with them.

Wow! By the same logic, I can generalize all the things I learned by talking to my 3 yo nephew to all adult male politicians. Hmmm... okay, that would mean men throw temper tantrums when they don’t get what they want, refuse to urinate and defecate in socially acceptable places and have trouble with abstract concepts.

Yeah. I actually am a veterinarian. I was actually talking about vets not human docs not having to do a residency unless they want to specialize. You don’t usually do a formal residency for GP jobs, and TBH the economic structure would need a massive overhaul to make it feasible even though it would be a great idea.…

The actual school time is the same which is what we were discussing. A residency is currently not required for all GP jobs but internship and residency are required for specialties

I rarely eat meat and use legumes as a major protein source, so paleo and I could not work, but it generally does not seem a terrible diet. What sends me into screaming fits are the proponents who spout faux evolutionary nonsense. This makes the anthropolgy major and former paleoanth TA in me wants to hit something.…

Yeah, I was in a lavish wedding with 8 or so, and it lasted almost 2 years.
