Plus, since when is being calm & self contained superior to expressions of deep feeling? Oooh, we’re so inferior for being passionately upset about this serene asshole & her stupid beliefs & actions! MWW thinks like a troll with this “u mad bro” bs.

Thanks for the reply! I don’t think it’s inappropriate at all in education for the Title LastName. Preschool, the nephews did Miss/Mrs FirstName & I thought that was cool. And then in college, I think whatever the Prof wants is cool, just Professor seems easiest to me, but there’s probably a range of what people…

Except: I am the only actual auntie to my nephews, dammit! I guess I’m pretty selfish, but I want them to know that I’m special that way. They actually just call me by my first name though. :)

As a retail worker, I have a name tag. It has my first name on it. So am I less respected/respectable/deserving of respect from the dozens of strangers I encounter everyday? It seems like I’m being lowered in value according to this paradigm, because I am a customer service worker. :(

Thank you for letting me learn random things today :)

I’m curious about the ‘cutoff’, though. Like, should/would a 15yo call a 25yo Mr/Ms LastName? That is technically a child/adult dynamic. And then there’s the situation of people growing closer over time. If I started by calling someone Title LastName, but then our social relationship grew closer, when if ever, would I…

This made me think of the new(er) captain on Castle. She instisted on being called Sir instead of Ma’am, which I thought was a little weird at first, but then it was awesome and makes a lot of sense, since there is still that stupid hierarchy.

I’m weird too! I kinda love that film. Eerie, emotional, great acting. I think it is better than Signs (though I haven’t watched either in a while)

Not to mention, humans have emotions for a reason. ‘Logic’ without emotion is just as harmful as emotion without logic.

Opposite, is... opposite!

Although I don’t share your preferences, I love your ocean analogy!

I did not know what distaff meant. Thanks for adding to my vocab!

Have you had others smell your asparagus pee? Hve you smelled someone else’s? In addition to some people not producing the smell, there are those who cannot smell it! (there is overlap: you could be one or the other, or both)

I do that every damn time :/

It is really weird that it makes other people so uncomfortable. Good for you for bucking that trend!

Coulottes! Just as comfy as a shirt, no thigh touching. I’m sad I only have one pair :(

I hear that! I do tend to shave it intermittently in the summer, cause it seems like other people are embarrassed about it (thanks sis). Luckily I’m not very hairy, so I can go quite a while, and it’s all electric razor for me!

I do love pools, but it is honestly my [one attainable] dream in life to have an outdoor shower of my own one day.

Don’t forget he “took” this lion. Like, out for a date or something? Grrrrrr >:(

I’d join a gym just to use that machine. I’m not saying I’d work out on it, maybe just ride it shouting weeeeeeeee!
