The only way I got through calling alumnae of my college was the stories some of them would tell.

Seriously, what the everloving fuck is up with people who need to be in the store at the very second it opens, or earlier? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY MUST DO THIS!

You have all of the bad food examples today!

Also teachers. Teachers have to smile all the time. It's so hard...

Hahahaha. I'm just thinking about every morning this week when I walked into the school where I'm teaching and about 70 children (a lot of whom I haven't actually met yet) screamed HELLO!! at me. I have to have my smile ready before I even turn the corner onto the street where the school is.

All of my managers that I worked under at my retail job would've been all over me for not greeting a customer. It's not that they want to bother you, it's literally their job to say hi to everyone.

Your point, however, is still invalid, because carrying condoms is not illegal. Owning condoms is not illegal. Condoms, a legal item to be carrying, are being used as patchy (and in the case of the woman in the article nonexistent) evidence of the crime of intending to prostitute oneself. So, no, the police are not…

I will say that you point is valid, but I think you could've used a better example (also, my example is weak, because it's hard to equate the emotional pain and hurt of someone cheating).

I pulled this from the article. 3rd paragraph break.

That is one saucy owl.

I wholeheartedly agree! And so, I give you lizclimo's dinosaur comics!

While pregnant, the fetus cannot survive outside of the mother's body.

But unless you are a mutual friend of the "other woman" and the wife, why would you be involved at all? That makes exactly zero sense.

To answer your final question, empathy. People feel connections to strangers, regardless of whether they're involved in a situation.

Your'e equating two very different things here. One hurts, the other very likely kills. I don't think you can claim an equivalency. If you had a friend who said " oh by the way, lately I've been stealing candy from children," you might have a moral equivalency.

Smith College (women's college, western Mass) had a series of threatening and racist notes that were delivered to a student, and we canceled afternoon classes, had a big discussion, and they're planning to implement a social justice curricular requirement (hopefully! they were seriously discussing it before I…

There is no law against carrying condoms. It's used as "evidence" of a crime, the crime being prostitution, because of a conflation of other things, such as being a woman/trans person/racial minority.

I'm teaching at an elementary school (overseas) and the amount of self-censoring of the dirty puns around the other teachers is driving me nuts. I look to my guy friends back home and some of the other native teachers for bawdy humor etc.

I want to be BFFs with BOTH OF THEM.

This is what I was thinking. Multiple orgasms (for those lucky ones out there) being counted as multiple "times" rather than the session.
