I saw a TikTok pointing out that some of the news coverage around this story has positioned LaFountain as an “older man,” likely to try to victim-blame by insinuating that there was a sugar baby sort of thing going on. Dude is 37, so yes, older, but I’m 36 and have like $5000 in savings - I’m in no position to be…

Pretty much all purebred dogs have issues, but the idea of breeding toadline bullies is just abhorrent 

Yeah, if the dog looks/sounds like it’s constantly DYING and struggling just to, idk, be alive, probably not the best breed to get.

It’s funny, in relationships, it’s been ~my~ height that seems to be the main talking and source of concern/riddicule and he is often treated like he is somehow ‘brave’ enough to date a taller woman. Back in college, I had a whole lot of encounters where I would be hit on while out... riiiiight up to the point I stood…

My former husband and I had a shtick where, whenever we were harassed (which was often, in the city where we lived), I would just pick him up and we’d saunter off. 

In case you don’t want to watch the video:

The science is that male puberty, vs. female puberty, gives physical advantages that are not ameliorated by time spent on testosterone suppressants after puberty. You will note that there is no push to allow transmen to compete in the men’s category. In light of that, I tend to come down on the side of competing in…

“Kramer, you’re beating up kids!” “No Jerry, we’re all at the same skill level!”

According to science and doctors, transwomen retain a competitive advantage for at least a year after hormone therapy.

? Like pressing an icon so the ‘uninstall’ option comes up is too hard? Wow.

I used a Galaxy 5 until the 10 came out. The 5 still works fine but my frequently used apps stopped supporting it. I think with Android there is just a larger variety of options and you have to take the time to find the phone that works best for you. With Apple it’s just whatever is ‘current’ since they’re all made by…

You’re a UX designer with two phones and can’t figure out how to TXT or delete apps from Android?

You’ve obviously not used Android Messenger in 5 years; it’s basically the best app pre-installed on the phone. Yes, it does video calls; it also handles RCS, so if I want to send a co-worker a form in PDF format, I can just attach it directly in the app. Any specific reason you don’t like Android Messages, or do you…

Sound jealous? You realize they could just buy an iPhone instead of an Android? 

I guess I just don’t see intentionally crippling the functionality with the vast majority of the mobile OS market as something working the best out of the box but to each their own.

The more I hear about iOS, the more I learn it’s not the right choice for me. I know I’m likely more techy than the masses at large but it never ceases to amaze me the things people allow companies to get away with. Being able to pick my own SMS/MMS app seems like a downright given in this day and age. I’d feel like…

Things “just work” on Apple stuff, but generally not in a way that (to me) makes sense or works well. And the limited ability to customize stuff on Apple’s OSes, makes me avoid them entirely.

You really dont know what you are missing until you free yourself from Apple’s walled garden......

I’m sticking with my Microsoft phone! It’s due for a comeback!

I could have written this exactly. Same feeling to all of it. In college and high school I’d say I wanted a nose job and now? Now I’m 45 and I’m OK with my face. It’s mine. It looks unique. I realize that if I had tried to do all of the “traditional beauty” things I’d have to get a nose job, get my freckles bleached,…
