Any apology she deserves would be from a dead man (or any family that was aware of the truth). But that’s a completely separate issue from the apology being discussed in this thread.

I reeeeally liked ‘Randy Taylor’ when it seemed to me that no one was talking about him at all. It was like a half second before he was on all the Teen Bop-style magazines and definitely before he was referred to as “JTT.” When that happened, I progressively lost interest. Was I a little hipster before it was cool to…

Hmm I think he might be right. Like I knew of this one woman who got so emotional when a former coworker said some pretty basic things about her that she thought thought mean that she went on facebook and passive aggressively threatened the coworker’s life... No wait, now that I think about it, that was TI.

He elaborated on his intentions:

The fact that it worries you and you’re consistently taking positive steps is a huge indicator that you will all be okay. While I do appreciate people who are able to recognize they have genetic traits they don’t want to pass on, I don’t think it’s at all selfish of you to have kids. If only people without any issues…

Yeah, I’m gonna have to disagree with your sigh.

“eff feelings” or just say it. Unless I misunderstood your question.

Umm... What about Malala Yousafzai? She was only 15 when she was shot for her activism that had started many years previously. It is and can be a thing.

I always struggled with this as a kid. Calling a teacher Mrs. or Mr. felt appropriate, because it was a structured environment with set expectations (i.e. - Though I doubt most schools have a specific rule for it, everyone knows that you don’t take your shoes off and prop your feet on a desk mid lecture. School has an…

No, that is helpful! I’m just looking for suggestions of what I can try out. Okay-freezer-pizza isn’t the worst thing. I do still plan to eat real pizza as a treat, but right now I probably eat pizza on avg ~3 times a week (I’m gross - I’ve embrassed it).

Anyone have any suggestions for good vegan cheese to top a pizza?

I like you!

I agree with everything you said. I don’t, personally, think there’s anything wrong with allowing the context of who a person is/was to have *some* influence on how you view their words of wisdom. And I believe how a person exits the world can be a factor in that. But as you said, it’s unfair to allow one piece of the…

Very sad, but very true. And it not only furthers the stigma around mental illness, but it creates a barrier for loved ones to take the most likely route to get help. One might want to do “whatever it takes,” but when that means a felony charge that will follow that person around long after any potential recovery, it…

Interestingly, I have a similar yet almost opposite problem. I was born outside of the US with an immediate duel citizenship. We moved to the States when I was around 2, and I’ve barely been outside the country since. I am also biracial, but I look white. And now I live in LA which is such a transient city that “Are…

Eh, I don’t know. I feel like all these “no one would ever consider that fat” responses are somewhat knee-jerk and rooted in vilification of fatness. I think a reasonable person could possibly (though not definitively) consider that “fat.” I just don’t think a reasonable person should associate that with any value…

Well... I mean... she’s a court clerk... so I gotta imagine she was there in the first place for... you know... her job.

But more specifically (and less smartass-y), when she refused to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples, a court order was issued stating that she must. She disobeyed the court order and stood…

Just to clarify, I did not mean to imply that all marriages are monogamous in nature. This guy’s clearly was and most are assumed to be, but it’s definitely not the only way to do it. I didn’t elaborate further in order to keep my point from getting any wordier than it already was. But I hope that point was clear: sex…

Totally! A commitment between two people can change over time, but one person can not just secretly change it without telling the other person and pretend that that anyone who judges them just doesn’t get it. We get it. It’s wrong.

This! So much of this.
