I for one enjoyed your perspective and am sorry that this other commenter felt the need to be so much of a knee jerk jerk.

The schooling felt kind of silly because - honestly - aren't there too many idiots on the internet for any rebuttal, no matter how clever, to seem kind of like playing pianos to pigs? But I'm glad I'm learning so much about female pirates, so thank you commenters!

People only read Classics in their mid-40s. Duh.

Wait, are we saying that the artist has no say over how the characters are posed? I think usually if you see a male character kicking some person in the face, their gonads are not made front and center of the image.

Oh true. Incidentally, this just reminded me: I had a friend with Aspergers who asked me to rate her on a scale of looks, and then to rate myself. She seemed confused when I refused, because to her, figuring out all of this numerically (ala RPG style) would just make life a lot easier.

$20,000?! Methinks the derision should be pointed at this man instead.

Ugh, can't we do away with the whole proposing thing to begin with? Why aren't we just having conversations about where the relationship is going and then acting on them? It's not like it's ever out of the blue anymore, and if it is, then maybe it's time to freak out a little about why your significant other would ask…

Feminism is about choices. You do you, girl.

How did your father react?

Professor Blastoff is so much fun! First started listening to it after hearing her on a Never Not Funny episode and now that's become my absolute fave podcast in the world

Also many times more likely to murder!

I am excited about the day when I can idly wonder "Huh! Whatever happened to that Chris Brown feller?"

Welp, if Heller reads his own comments, he'll see his entire premise completely and utterly refuted.

I would say it's more thanks to the lack of any aesthetic design and the prefab factory construction. Wages are pretty depressed for construction workers in Dubai too, you know - they truck in South East Asians by the ton.

Things like this remind me of how vanilla I actually am.

That's a lot of horrible people in one collaboration.

Yeah, I was like what?

There was a great Wired article about AA and why certain tenets of it actually trigger something neurologically that can help addicts kick their addiction. The social aspect and the acceptance of a life out of your control somehow soothes pathways that would otherwise be focused on continuing your addition... for some…

I am still swooning ten minutes after reading that.

Hear hear! I'm not a fan of cologne, but something about the smell of the skin of a loved one (not sweat, really, and definitely not BO) is really comforting.
