I think you get to have opinions on vaccinations considering that affects everyone.

Babies are really basic though. They don’t do manipulation until they are much older. They don’t have a sense of you as a separate person to manipulate until they are 9 months or more (which is when separation anxiety kicks in, and they realise you leave sometimes). They just want milk/reassurance/to get back to sleep…

Otters are generally playful non threatening creatures. They’re shy , not aggressive.

lol at the “Honey, it’s Saturday.” comments. Some people work weekend shifts. It kind of sucks. :(

you're not my mom

I’m not, I assume the guy who wrote this email is not too smart/hasn’t been to many places. Further evidence is his awesome “If he were a single guy I could see it being understandable” line.

“A Single guy, drunk, we can possibly overlook”

you're my only friend in this, Cat :)

the Hissing of Summer Lawns, particularly the track "The Jungle Line". Still sounds ahead of its time.

Carol is the best character in the show.

Then all plea deals would be coercion. The same principle exists for all plea deals. The defendant has the ability to go to court, possibly win, and walk free. The prosecutor has te ability to shorten or change the sentence based on the likely of the defendant winning the case in court. They both have bargaining tools.

Oof. When I was applying to grad school, I was told "If you can imagine yourself doing anything else, don't go into (my field)." 6 years later, I wish I'd listened. The market for academic jobs in my field is a disaster, the people are kind of all assholes, and finding a non-academic job has taken me 2 years of…

I'm a PhD student. When I graduate I will be at the top of my field. Great reputation, many publications, countless presentations. HOWEVER, my physical and emotional health has suffered. I spent two years in therapy, took anti-depressants for a year, almost failed out (or so I thought), and gained 40 pounds. It's…

Do not do the PhD. It is a miserable living with no guarantee of employment when you leave. Remember: MAs open doors, PhDs close them - your ability to move back to the private sector is greatly reduced once you get the doctorate, and there are far from enough academic jobs for all. The bubble burst is coming soon -…

I'm really depressed. I broke my ankle really badly a month ago and had to have surgery - 2 plates and 13 screws. I'm non weight bearing for at least another month, probably longer. I can deal with all that but the worrying is killing me - is my bone going to heal, am I going to need more surgery, will I have chronic…

You side with sex workers every time, but also immediately assumed the woman who said she was forced to do it was lying? Yeah, you're a wonderful advocate.

You may just decide to discount this research (many do), but it's Melissa Farley et al.'s Prostitution and Trafficking in 9 Countries, which you can find by googling. It is of course impossible to once and for all accurately determine how many are ok and how many aren't, because the numbers are going to fluctuate…

You are, though, not that I have much sympathy for the delusional third wavers who have ruined women's issues. You go along now and light some incense in front of your shrine to Belle Knox. Just please stop calling yourself a feminist. You're a traitor to our gender.

The WHO is mostly, not surprisingly, comprised of old white men. Sex work, and prostitution, is the temporary suspension of a woman's sexual autonomy. It should be illegal everywhere. Civilized countries that have tried legalised prostitution are moving to make it illegal again, finally.
