"We won't surrender again; we are not women; we will keep fighting."

No way am I telling them a reason! I have no idea how the other person will react. If it's a first date it's probably because I don't know the guy that well and sometimes guys will act really, really weird when it comes to dating. I don't know if he's going to get mad, if it'll spark off a confrontation, or what. …

Aaaand this sort of post is why I check the Jezebel front page on my phone before opening it on a work computer. Now, off to boil my eyeballs and hope that this is a photoshop because... that poor model. How could that not hurt?

It worked out well for me, but I also enjoy working with computers. Also make sure you go to job fairs and take any job prep classes the CS department might offer. I got an internship in my sophomore year and it helped me get a job straight out out school and kept me from having to take loans.

I can't think of anything off-hand that I wish I knew. I enjoyed my time there, I took a wide range of classes, and while I loaded my schedule too heavily early on it meant I had lots of free time in my last year to take interesting classes not related to my major/minor. I got a degree in CS, got half a minor in…

Most of the parents I've run into are pretty awesome about managing their kids. They take them outside when they're screaming and won't stop, they don't hoist them onto other people, and they don't make the world revolve around them and their baby. They just act like normal people with the addition of someone tiny…

Than what's a good way to say no? The situation is usually someone asks me out and while their chances aren't that good, I still feel it's worth a try, we both might get lucky and it'll turn out to be something worth pursuing. I don't expect anything to come of those dates, but I feel shooting down any opportunity…

I've given up. I've got a health problem and I hate how men have reacted to it, I haven't found anyone I'm physically attracted to (we'll see if dating a girl instead works), and basically I haven't found anything in a relationship that I don't get from having friends. I like my independence too much and I'm happy…

I have a fairly serious health problem too and I haven't figured out how to get past finding someone I'm comfortable with. Guys either treat me like I'm a freak and don't want to be around me or they treat me like I'm made of glass and can't leave my side - which quite frankly, is incredibly uncomfortable. I do not…

Huh. A friend of mine makes delicious pears cooked in wine and she's always careful about who gets to eat them. The pears themselves don't have much alcohol content but the juice they're cooked in... it's like drinking mulled wine. Now I'm curious as to exactly how she makes them.

It was earlier this year. I just wish I knew better how they felt about LGBT people. The only stuff I see is that they're super-religious and seem to be open to LGBT but neither condone or openly condemn. So I'm honestly not sure where they stand and don't want to find out as part of coming out.

That's total crap. It's like emotional blackmail. Why should what we are be hurtful to our own parents? There's something sick to that. If a parent was hurt their kid had red hair there'd be no sympathy for them. Some days I'm tempted to walk into my house and tell them I'm bi and dating a trans woman and if they…

Exactly. I'd probably feel different if they were having surgery (personally, if I ever had a kid that wanted to transition that young I'd put money back for the surgeries at a later date), but this? This is awesome. My parents never tried to cram me into a girl role and while I'm not a boy, I would have been…

THAT is scary. I'm so glad I've never had to have a surgery. The mere thought terrifies me. Heck, I get freaked out just seeing the blood in the line for a hand IV, much less having it bleeding out everywhere.

Oh, I agree, mistakes do happen. But I think we should make every effort to minimize the problems, like not having people work 12 hour shifts.

I once had a doctor and a nurse get fired for something they did to me. Nurse didn't follow how an IV drug is supposed to be administered in the ER and my mother - who is also a nurse - was sitting right there watching. She filed a complaint the very next day and they fired the nurse and didn't renew the contract of…

Well, do you really want to create yet another unique account just for this service? (maybe opening it up to Twitter or Google+ is phase 2) And no, that would not be a good thing. The mere thought frightens me.

But legitimate scientists don't make them feel like they're super-special for being able to see the truth about this terrible conspiracy!

This article is proof I shouldn't reproduce. I'd never think of this sort of stuff. Hopefully any parents that visit will keep their kids contained, because my tactic of babysitting is 'call the dog over and let her handle the crying infant.' Seriously, she's better at it than me. So long as the parent doesn't…

I have to wonder if *any* chocolate will do, or if it needs to be a certain kind of chocolate, like high-quality dark chocolate. I imagine the less-expensive chocolates have all sorts of other crap added to them. This is why I only keep expensive dark chocolate around the house: tastes amazing and keeps me from…
