They aren’t in competition. In the world that I want, there is enough justice to go around! :) (I agree with everyone saying that the dude needs a harsher sentence that will actually mean something.)

This has probably been covered elsewhere, but I am so so sick of everyone (men, caveat: not all men) being afraid of women’s bodies. To donald trump, it’s not a whatever, it’s a vagina and you don’t need to be afraid of it. About the blood, menstrual cycles are happening 25% of the time, and for 25% of your female…

Men being clueless....it’s because it doesn’t (usually) happen to men, so men don’t think about it happening at all. I wish we (as a society) were better at putting ourselves in other peoples’ shoes.

I heart your brother.

My best friend’s father sexually assaulted me. I was 11 or 12 at the time. I told my mother, but she didn’t completely believe me. She must have believed me a little bit, because she confronted the guy about it. I learned of this because she *sent the guy to pick me up from school one day* and in the car, he was…

Yeah. She does seem excessively desperate for attention though.

Zoos are not critical in species preservation - habitat is. Giving money to a conservation effort that preserves habitat has a much higher rate of return (measured in individual animals and species protected from untimely demise).

If it were someone not-famous, no one would pay attention. I think it’s awesome that Caitlyn is using her power and influence to help raise awareness and make some transgendered lives a little bit better.

I am not understanding why you are so upset about these women coming forward and telling their stories. You must be aware how difficult it is to prove that a rape happened, even if it just happened last week, so a conviction of a recent rape is still so very unlikely. But raising awareness of it, as these women have…

Heh, those two words do *not* go together!

You go! I love being this age actually, where I feel free to ask/say exactly what I want to ask without worrying about how people are perceiving me.

I got married at 44 (first marriage). At the point that I met my (now) husband, I had embraced the fact that I would be single, and I had started going on big trips that I have always wanted to do....Istanbul, Africa, etc. I have a friend that travels with me, and we had a fantastic time! So I had told myself that I…

Thanks for this - I’m going to try it. I always have a hard time with the descent on airline flights.

I have motion sickness problems myself, but have taken a few cruises and had a fantastic time. The advice to stay in a cabin that is on a lower level and is more central is spot-on. I had the best sleep of my life on cruise ships. And those cabins are cheaper anyway.

I agree with the people calling for text rather than a video; I take in information faster by reading than by watching. The good thing about text is that if it is uninformative, you can skim it. I don’t have a good way to skim an uninformative video. I found the introductory bits of this video not terribly useful, but…

Thank you for posting this - I just had a look at their facebook page, and I love them :)

I would feel hesitant to buy a previous rental, both because I have seen many people say that they treat rentals badly, and because of stories like the 2009 Chevy Impala “deletion” of side airbags in the Enterprise fleet. The story is that Enterprise asked Chevy not to install the side airbags as a cost-saving measure…

I’m sure she *was* really scared. I feel like that is no excuse for how she treated the letter-writer. It does read as though she waited until he had done all the heavy lifting of caring for her through the surgery and recovery, then she broke it off. It seems terribly selfish of her. I like Dr. Nerdlove’s statement…

OMG, Dan is not the final arbiter on what looks nice. What a dillhole.

I think the difference between you and me might be in the comfort we respectively feel in talking about our histories. I don’t attach any particular importance to a number of previous partners (whatever that number may be, whether zero or one hundred), and I don’t have any expectation that a sexual partner of mine…
