Mine does this to! Mostly when the door is shut and he's frustrated...he somersaults forward into it. I keep reminding him that trying to batter the door down has never once worked.

Actually, humans do have it more difficult than most other mammals. Four legged critters have gravity to help them out, where humans usually give birth on their backs. Also, the result of our oversized brains is that the head is unusually large and has trouble passing through the pelvic girdle. That's why the rate…

Oh, I am so very many...

Anyone else read the book My Tiny Life? This heavily reminds me of the opening...basically a look at a virtual 'rape case' inside a MOO and how the community and individuals responded.

As a fellow IBS sufferer, I feel ya (the book Eating for IBS saved my damn life, but the IBS diet doesn't mesh very well with stereotypical 'healthy eating')

I adored that show but it, ah...does not live up well.

I'd actually be kind of annoyed. I mean, if he slips and breaks his spine into eighty pieces, does it affect my home owner's insurance?

That's not what the OP was arguing, though I don't agree in any case. Community service is brushed off by most people as no big deal and I don't believe it does much to detour repeat cases.

Well there was no real fanbase for Guardians, there *was* a huge fanbase for Marvel movies after the success of the others. That combined with the awesome trailers and I'm not surprised at all that it's done as well as it has. Here's hoping it drives Marvel to make more unusual, awesome movies! I am so sick to…

I absolutely would be in favor of that (I would go as far as to say retest every 5 years. The difference between my mother with her memory loss and irrational thinking occurred in much less than a decade.) I would also still be in favor of enforcing traffic laws. However, I would say I would support rethinking and…

Um...no, I don't. My mother is a properly licensed driver and if I wasn't here to drive her everywhere she absolutely would have killed someone by now.

So we shouldn't punish violations of any traffic laws so long as an injury didn't occur that particular time?

Three days is hardly throwing the book at someone.

My mother is 69 and I'm 34, and I would absolutely call her elderly (though she wouldn't use the term herself). But then she has major health issues and weighs about 80 pounds and looks like a stiff breeze would shatter her

...now I can't unsee it

I like open worlds...at times, and only some of them. I loved the open world aspect of Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but quickly got bored with it in Skyrim and stopped playing.

What if your partner cheats?

Hmm. That reasoning actually makes sense to me (that people would be less likely to get tested. But if mandatory disclosure isn't required legally...how can this guy be charged? Is there a certain of number of victims that has to be reached? I'm just curious about the laws governing this sort of thing. If…

Shit like this is why I'm glad I'm asexual. While some people will *say* you should insist on having a clean test before consenting to sex, I think the majority would actually find it offensive to be asked (especially after two years of seeing each other.) I'm betting the number of people who would cheerfully submit…

Not really a story of finding out, I suppose...
