I think a big part of it had to do with general attitudes by generation, though. I noticed that I got the most sexual harassment from older truckers, while the younger ones tended to be really respectful (if not a lil bit excited to see a girl in the flesh, lol, some of those rides are loooooong.) Although, one of the…

I lived on truck for about a year and never really had a problem. The key is to be at the right company and be careful when you’re out of the truck (stop at better, well lit, chain stops, park toward the front, that kind of thing.)

I know when I lived on truck, we were driving on a bridge over a goddamned MIDDLE school and in fair range of a bunch of other truckers. The CB lit up with things that dudes wanted to do to these girls. MIDDLE. SCHOOLERS.

Companies squeeze every possible cent out of you. There are DOT laws in place for the number of hours you can legally drive—you know, for everyone’s safety—and they still had to mandate the switch over to e-logs because companies pushed back against having driver miles accurately recorded. So . . . yeah.

I would not recommend this unless wrapping it with something softer, like a towel + duct tape. You can seriously injure yourself (even to the point of nerve damage) if you slip or pinch something the wrong way, due to the tremendous amount of force placed upon the contact area—especially if you are say, rolling out an…

YES BITCH HIGH FIVE

Screw the equipment; free weights all the way.

Starting Strength seconded, would also like to add the Stronglifts program.

“Girl, you do not mess with New Orleans.”

I want a t-shirt now that says “ride the disk”.

I just spent one of the worst nights of my life (Thursday night, to be exact) in a surgery waiting room, waiting to find out if a dear friend of mine would survive. We found out after she arrived that she had an ectopic pregnancy and that her fallopian tube had burst. She was hemorrhaging to death from the inside.

No joke, you made me smile and I wish I could take you out for tea.

Their goal is to perpetuate existing cycles of poverty. You can bet your ass if that if one of the rich bigwigs in the republican party needed an abortion, it’d be done quick and quiet, no questions asked. They’re penalizing poor women by limiting their access to abortion and contraceptive services

My list of places I can no longer go to grad school gets longer by the day. Like, Ohio has some great schools for my major, but they’d also probably rip out my vagina and beat me to death with it, so . . . .

Special place in hell for assholes like those.

Funny thing, I’m a property manager now. I have all sorts of crazy tenant stories, but then I compare them to the level of crazy evidenced by those in the drive through of McDonald’s and I don’t find any of them good enough to tell. ^^

I call sens——-DAMNIT

PINKHAM PICKED MY STORY THIS IS MY PROUDEST MOMENT EVARRRRRRR

My point is that you can’t “lose” your humanity. The idea of a “lost” humanity is a ridiculous concept, especially for a mentally ill 13 year old.

Holy shit, is there some kind of “humanity” particle that I wasn’t aware of? Like . . . is there a humanity meter that can measure this state of humanity? Because here I was, thinking that people were, you know, innately human, and now I’m finding out that oops, you can just like, lose trip and drop your humanity and…
