I’m much better about dealing with this now than I was years ago- which, apparently, is in no way a universal thing for guys as they get older- but the part of my brain that thinks this absolutely continues to light up every time I start having a conversation with a woman that is very friendly and which- this part’s…

“Don’t be obtuse. You know what I mean when I say “high school student”. A 25 year old should not be dating a 17 year old whether that teenager is in school or not.”
Very well said. It’s pretty rare someone says what I was thinking so thoroughly I can’t add much to it.
No, but it tends to mean skills that don’t earn you as much pay.
“he’ll explain that he had no intention of doing it but didn’t want to disappoint me by saying no when I asked”
Holy fuck. “For every 100 degrees of Fahrenheit that men are afforded in the workplace, the average woman gets only 77 degrees.“ Kinja only lets me give you one star, but for that line alone, I want you to know that in spirit you’re getting this many.
Amplified toupee stand.
It’s not totally indicative of the present day. I freely acknowledge potential bias as an MMA fan, but the sport is substantially different than it was in 2003. Back then the paychecks were awful and very few people were involved because it was a reasonable choice of career for a talented athlete- they were people who…
As rslwn says, it is his legal name. Which should give you an idea of his general mental status, but it’s true.
Of course. We can’t have him die that quickly.
The issue of domestic violence may not have been properly handled by the NFL until recently (and only under extreme duress at that), but players have been getting it drilled into their heads for years that they are very public figures and they need to take care with how they behave due to the fact small things are…
Mm... it seemed like she was specifically referencing the issue of looks and requisite attractiveness level. She says “some forms” of sexism have become more prevalent. And, hell, what other forms of sexism could have gotten worse at this point? The roles they play? Lack of opportunity? Having to be however hot is…
Yes. Which is why I keep saying she needs to be the next Doctor Who. She should have been this one (and I don’t mind Peter Capaldi).
Someone above explains it better, but briefly, it seems her lawyer from years ago made some type of error that left the documents unsealed and that’s how the NYT managed to get them. Which, y’know, still not her fault personally, but scum gonna scum.
Reading that, I’m blown away by the idea that a cop who feels the need to stop an intoxicated man from driving away (which in itself is reasonable enough), either by personal judgment or because it’s what he’s taught at the academy, shoots the man rather than, say, his tires. I would love a solid explanation as to how…
It might not be splitting hairs in the sense that 90’ is triple the original distance of 30’, but it is splitting hairs in light of the actual reality of caretaking- if anything happens, Mama’s gonna cover that ninety feet in about five seconds. If someone tried to run off with the kids, it wouldn’t exactly require…
That’s where the epic prank comes in. I got a female friend of mine to jump on the new headset before I ever spoke, ten minutes before a raid, and pretend to be me. I listened to the conversation on a second set of headphones and fed her all the answers when they tried testing her. Eventually she said, “Do you guys…
If it helps, that was recognized as pretty much the worst thing about D2 and hardly any games allow for that type of shit anymore unless they’re clearly PvP-based.
I did the exact opposite thing, or maybe better said, the exact same thing but gender-swapped. I had a female main character and no headset, and never specified one way or the other except to a handful of people I spoke with regularly, who I knew wouldn’t care.
