Another Non-American who definitely feels that Trump happened to her as well. Apart from the inescapable geopolitical ramifications it’s also super demoralizing to watch him and his ilk get away with all this bullshit. You just know his “success” is giving our own home-grown assholes the wrong idea.

Ah, the whole catholic thing is another issue. Honestly, “born remorseful” doesn’t sound any less awful to me - what they hell do I have to be remorseful about before I even got a chance to do anything? The implication of some intrinsic flaw (original sin) is there just as well. Seems to me, the problematic part of

Maybe you’re thinking about shame?

I almost hope he doesn’t get impeached before he can get snubbed by the Royals. Almost.

Non vegetarians and non vegans are also known to often enjoy vegetarian/vegan options. Just because you_also_ eat meat doesn’t mean you want to eat meat always or even mostly. I’ve been to a couple of events already where the person in charge of the buffet had to remind non-vegans/vegetarians to stick to the

I don’t care if LW1 might have ulterior motives, I think his concerns shouldn’t be dismissed so blithely. Sure, it’s possible to come up with a scenario where all of this is no harm no foul, and none of anyone’s business. But there are a number of red flags worth keeping an eye on if you care a about a good work

That, and sunk cost fallacy. Still, there seem to be health benefits, for men at least.

Maybe people who met through online dating are less likely to get a divorce, because once they’ve been through the horrors of online-dating they really can’t face the prospect of having to do it all again?

Kidding, I don’t actually have any bad online dating experiences. I just found out that I apparently need to watch

I really feel the photo to illustrate this should have been of a guy....

Like, obviously I’m not saying that no woman ever talks too much, but they’re clearly over-represented as examples when it comes to discussing that problem.

That said, I too have a strong suspcion that the letter-writter is a woman, because all

Oh, I would never rely on market forces alone, I’m for a mix and match approach. Quotas can work (they are already working - studies show that in domains where quotas are used nowadays- eg in the public sector in certain countries - , the average qualification of everbody goes up as mediocre men are crowded out; at

The times they are a-changing ... Point is, nothing about this is natural, god-given or otherwise inevitable.

If you don’t like tax credits, we could also organize boycotts. The Mark Pence way of doing things might soon find itself out of demand. It’s not like these guys are hard to replace.

It’s a character building exercise.

To be fair, lots of people on that bus were really into it. At least I totally bought into them being genuinely into it (lots of very earnest, idealistic people a decade younger than me) and found that almost infectious, which was also a weird thing to experience. Like, I have this

Really? You can’t fathom any possible reason why behavior that is acceptable within the context of the kink-community might not be automatically appropriate in the context of a professional relationship?

On paper, a Christmas party can be a welcome opportunity to talk to colleagues one doesn’t get to interact with that often throughout the year, which can be quite useful sometimes. In my experiences it’s perfectly possible to have that without the whole thing devolving into a night of booze and general debauchery.

I’d be curious to see how consistent the Mike Pences of this world would be in applying such a rule once it’s the woman who’s higher status and they’re the ones who’d stand to benefit from the networking opportunity....

Let’s introduce a tax credit for companies with 50/50 gender split in management positions to the

I used to be a teacher in a former life, and the “explaining stuff, again and again, as long as necessary”-aspect was actually one of the things I really liked about it. I’ve always had a bit of a didactic streak and generally enjoy opportunities to share my knowledge. For instance in maths, I was maybe third or

Loss aversion. It will be a rough transition, but things are bound to get easier once we get them used to it. People eventually get used to anything. No way out but through.

I used “rape” as a a synecdoche for torture. If he’s actually Voc pretending to be Tyler, it’s likely that all of the torture was part of the lie. If he’s Voc brainwashed to believe himself to be Tyler, all of the torture might have been probably real for increased authenticity. Even if Voq consentend to that before

Lovely creation! Kinda makes one want to prostrate and call out Cthuhullu Fhatagn, doesn’t it?

I guess I’ll be sticking to the cucumber sandwiches. (But to be be perfectly frank, I shouldn’t have pinned that on mum; I’m the one who really doesn’t have a face for hats in this family).

I’m not sure how much of that fight was staged - I think that L’Rell main objective was to make it look as credible as possible, even if that meant risking Cornwell’s death. But the preferable outcome might have been to merely knock her out and win some time for a new plan, and who knows, maybe that’s what happened?

I
