I would guess there is a fairly large difference between your parents' income when you were growing up, and their current income? Because that is pretty common behavior in such circumstances, in my experience. (See: my fiance and his little sister.)

Why should you have to be upset by hearing liberal opinions?

a lot of what's encouraged is kinda... rapey.

Not decoration. Investment.

No difference... from what? There is no difference between that and the meat sitting right next to it in the meat display. There may very well be a difference between that and meat purchased at a different establishment that is specifically marked as hormone-free or "free-range" or whatever hippy-dippy cost-adding…

As I have that knowledge, I will kindly continue to comment. (However, your comment leads me to believe that you do not.) Please notice that you just cited a statute. The statute defines rape. It defines a wider array of behaviors than would be included in the common law indention, which I just gave. Rape that is…

Well, technically, it is statutory rape. As in, not common law rape, or unconsented penetration achieved through force/fear.

And the fact that you needed to put "legally" in front of "consent" shows exactly what that the term actually is when used in reference to willing people under the statutory age of consent — a legal fiction.

No, it is not illegal, because of these little things called personal autonomy and liberty.

I wonder where the researchers are getting the coke they are using for these studies, and it's purity level. It seems relevant because about 7 years ago, there was a huge spike in the prevalence of a certain cutting agent that was being cut in before the drug crossed into the US. As in, the cartels were doing the…

It does, sort of. Not so much happy/euphoric in an E way, but definitely awake, alert and "alive." Until it starts dripping down the back of your throat, making you sick to your stomach, and you realize that every twenty minutes you are saying " is it time for more yet?"

Are you arguing that Cosmo could, in any way, be an "essential" item?

Based upon what principle?

When they are spending money on *nothing* but basic needs such as basic food/housing/shelter/ and basic transportation and is still legitimately unable to provide for those needs.

Someone... like a someone making minimum wage working a cash register in a craft store?

How about the context for the "BAM" paragraph? Like the part where he says what he did was really fucked up and it makes him afraid to date? Or is that context not important?

No, it is not informative. Not in the least bit. It is parody, and farce. It is theater of the absurd. It is verbalized cartoons. His analysis has a kernel of truth to it — that is what makes sarcasm and parody funny — but it is not even remotely educational, or informative programming. In fact, often it is…

This guy sounds like he feels entitled to blurt out everything he doesn't like about his girlfriend's body with no regard to how it makes her feel.

You don't think the person who you're dating your have an opinion about your body? Or, more accurately, that they shouldn't share it? I disagree.

Except when you're being interview about your opinions? One can speak then, yeah?
