I’m sure it does - and don’t make that assumption with your husband. I’mm 100% sure that my hubby prefers late-20’s lefty vs. early 20’s lefty. Early-20’s lefty was a neurotic pain in the ass.

I think once you hit around 30+, a 7-8 year gap isn’t creepy. It’s when you get over 10 years and start to get into “old enough to be her dad” territory that it gets creepy. When you get into 20+ years then it really gets creepy (unless you’re famous or something, I suppose, though I still find it creepy - Johnny…

Guess he won’t be issuing any marriage licenses then, since sodomy is any sexual act that is not missionary-style procreative sex and I don’t know many married people who do only missionary-style procreative sex...

Seriously. I usually watch DWTS but I think I’ll be skipping this season.

I feel like it’s probably a combination of internalized misogyny and insecurity. I think women are cruel to other women in sex work in part because they fell threatened by them in some way - just like women are cruel to other women who they may find more attractive than themselves.

One time where being short is an advantage: “ankle pants” are the perfect length for regular pants for me :-)

Confession: I love most of this. But then I’m just an old hippy in a young body, so there’s that.

Ah - crazy coincidence. The SVU episode was called “Confession” and aired in 2008. It was about a kid who went to the police to get help because he wanted to molest his step-brother, and then there was a thing with a support website where people posted pictures of kids but didn’t act on it, then someone acted on it…

I’m going to disagree heartily with your assertion that most kids “cycle” through bullying and being bullied. I graduated from high school less than a decade ago, and the kids being bullied were definitely not doing the bullying. I was bullied from kindergarten through graduation and I never bullied anyone - I mainly…

How about it being therapy-worthy offense instead? Why does the kid have to be arrested - why couldn’t someone see this and say, “You know, I bet this kid would benefit from talking to a professional.”

I’m about 90% sure that you’re referring to an episode of SVU - unless SVU got the idea from This American Life. But there was definitely an episode with that scenario.

Well, Idris is pretty much the only thing that would convince me to actually see another Bond movie, so...

Same here - I know that people say you’re supposed to have your heaviest meal for lunch, but unless the American government institutes mandatory 2:00 naptime, it’s salad for lunch for me.

I’m the same way. Ranch for dipping fried foods in? Yes please. Ranch for putting on top of veggies? No thank you. But I’m not really a fan of salad dressing at all - I’ll usually just throw some fancy olives or capers on there and call it good.

Butter lettuce, yo. No bitterness there - it’s a little pricey, but try the “live” version they have at most grocery stores (at lease where I am). So good for salad (and everything).

This guy sounds like a class-A creep and I’d tell him straight-up that you’re not interested and that if he doesn’t leave you alone you’ll get a restraining order. Do it in public. Make a scene. Don’t talk to him on the phone - make sure everything is through text/email and documented. Sorry you’re going through this.

No? I would also not have a problem ending my own unwanted pregnancy, but I personally wouldn’t have a problem with the doctor taking said unwanted pregnancy to a pro-lifer’s house and saying, “Here you go! Have fun!”

Why don’t these “pro-life” people funnel money into researching how to grow fetuses in test tubes? Then it would solve all the problems. If a woman wanted an abortion they could just take the embryo/fetus out of her, stick it in a fake womb, and drop it off at the nearest anti-abortion nut’s house to incubate and…

“Hello? Electric company? Yes - I was wondering if I could not pay my bill this month? I stood up for myself. Maybe I could pay you in self-esteem?”

Eh. Idk. The previews ruined it for me. I saw three previews and l three contained the same female character and she didn’t have a single line in any of them; she just stood there and looked cute while Zac talked at her about EDM. You couldn’t even give the cute girl a line? Nothing? Not even a witty remark? I feel…
