I’m a Guardian ad Litem volunteer as well. It’s tough. Lack of transportation, lack of education, lack of family members (or financially and emotionally stable family members) to help out, make climbing out of the system and completing a treatment and case plan very difficult.

So...I was a Guardian ad Litem (volunteer advocate for the children in these cases) for years. Often, the parents would tell their friends and family members that the kids had been taken from them for just a “light” spanking, or that they had left their kids alone for “just a second” while they went next door.

I know, but do you like to get fucked by groups of men calling you a filthy bitch until you prolapse? Have you actually seen any of the vile, misogynistic, humiliating garbage that passes for regular porn these days? I get that people like different things, but the fact of the matter is that boys are coming of age…

Is it really hypocrisy for a porn addict to want a public awareness campaign to state that porn is addictive?

Would it be hypocritical for a closet heroin addict to advocate for awareness of the dangers of opiate addictions?

Now if they were preaching that porn watching was “Evil” and that only “Evil Doers” do it. Then…

I get what you’re saying, but I think we also realize that individual responses to systemic injustice aren’t enough. I am against human trafficing, but I don’t buy sex, so therefore I am not part of the problem and those women need to figure it out for themselves. I am white but not racist, therefore racism isn’t a…

I’m no fan of Jenner’s by any stretch, but she didn’t “literally [get] away with murder.”

She’s making walking look hard

Soo I should ask my boyfriend and guy friends why they bother to shower, shave, comb their hair/put gel in it, wear deodorant and cologne on their day off. Irritates me that liking how your face looks with makeup on is supporting the patriarchy, but men liking how they feel when they put in effort In their appearance…

Girls stopped putting work into their walks, because having presence and personality became a liability instead of an asset. A lot of commenters are missing the point, lamenting that this generation of girls is weak compared to the supermodels of the 90's. If designers and casting agents thought a good walk was…

lol, nice try.

I don’t know shit about walking a runway, but she looks like she’s simultaneously stomping and about to snap at the ankle

-improved sleep
-improved mental health
-the physical health to carry out daily activities
-any one of a dozen other non-sports related benefits.

Or, y’know, health. Looking good in general, not just for the club. Physical activity being key for mental health for many people. Being able to lift your couch if you need to. I’m not a gym obsessive, but there are many, many reasons to work out.

Not dying in your forties.

Okay, I’ll bite: the point is that it’s fun. I did crossfit for a while and now do an Olympic lifting class. I sit at a dumb desk all day so going to the gym after work and moving my body and chatting with my gym friends is like having recess at the end of the day. I like that the only person worrying about how well I…

Maybe they like the mental and physical feel-good benefits?

Can’t it just be to feel good/be healthier?

The point of training is to be better at an activity

Judgment free zone. Unless you’re trying. Then you’re a “lunk” and require facility-wide mocking.

Based on comments from friends (and commenters here) who have looked to adopt a pet , I feel like the pet adoption game is ridiculously and counter-productively fraught with barriers and stress and the only people they let adopt a pet have huge homes, huge yards, no job, no young children, no other commitments and…
