Here’s a long-ass post: I recently started transitioning, after decades of awareness that my birth gender felt horrible going all the way back to...age 14? What kept me from taking action for more than 20 years was the general hostility I perceived at all levels of society. I’m only doing it now because my own…

No this happens every single snow storm here, even deep into winter. People are just totally ignorant and unprepared. Our snow doesn’t stay on the ground for long (usually melts within 1-2 days since we’re a mile closer to the sun), so people think they can skate by on all seasons (and skate by they do!)

Most of the population is from California or Texas now so no, no one is.

The pic caught my attention because with the small resolution on my laptop and viewed as a passing glimpse, the scarf looked like a snake coming out of her chest.

Several studies have found at least 40% of police officers are domestic abusers, themselves.

You’re 100% right.

I’ve always felt like this is a reasonable compromise that you could probably get bipartisan support behind - the government still gets some money back and borrowers can actually stand a chance to pay them off. The problem isn’t the loans themselves, it’s the absurd interest rates. The increased tax revenue from…

Right, nobody is saying “OK, Boomer” to you because you were born in the 50’s, it’s a response to a willfully ignorant and often unsolicited advise from a time that no longer exists. 

As my 15-year-old son says, “‘Baby Boomer’ is a generation; ‘Boomer’ is an attitude.”

You’re trying to make a distinction that isn’t there. They convicted her for manslaughter based on drug use BECAUSE she miscarried. According to NAPW’s press release, they didn’t even conclusively prove that the drug use caused the miscarriage. If you don’t consider that to be at all worrisome, I don’t know what else…

Are they sure the drugs caused the abnormalities? I’m willing to say they might, but are they sure that in this particular case the abnormalities this fetus had were caused by those drugs? If they’re sending her to jail for using drugs (why not target the large drug sellers instead?) they should follow those laws. If…

And is more likely to lead to pregnant women with drug problems not seeking help.  

My wife was raised by a pair of narcissists. She’s had anxiety issues for her entire adult life, likely as a result of this. She cut off contact with her father a long, long time ago, then finally did the same with her mother. My wife was doing much better for quite a while, then received a late night phone call from…

I’m autistic and I hate their shops because of the way they smell. So many loud agressive smells that I cannot ignore, it’s like they have 20 orchestras playing 20 different tunes at maximum volume. And the worst part is that you do not even have to go into the shop (which I never do, and I have never bought or used…

oh noes she failed an impossible purity test, we’d better eat her

As I remember it, the vast sentiment after 9/11 was to wipe the Middle East off the map. If *ever* there was a public outcry of support for nuclear weapon usage, I would believe that it would have been beginning 9/12/01. This just goes to show that Bush was either 100% full of shit or worse, believes the reality he…

The real prank are the 20,000 untested rape kits sitting in evidence lockers here in Texas.

They were too busy getting Critical Rape Theory removed from all the textbooks.
