Drawing yourself can be hard! It's weird to look at yourself from an artistic perspective and include little details that either you didn't notice/think were important or things that no one else noticed and you did. I didn't even notice a major scar until someone else drew it. Now I always notice it.

Man, I feel like every comment I make on here is like, crapping on someone's fun. I'm the Anti-Fun Brigade!

I'm an American who lives outside the country, too, and honestly, the self-hating Americans drive me just as batty as the patriotic ones. It's kinda silly to buy into the stereotypes of "people from X country are this way,", including your own. Trying so hard to convince me you're really different than all the other…

Oh, yes, absolutely true! Like I said, I don't think there's anything wrong with working those jobs at all. Work is work, and you do what fits into your life and what's available. Some people are perfectly happy having those types of jobs, and even if you don't like the job, it doesn't mean anything about you as a…

I think you've nailed the dilemma perfectly. I can't really even add anything, because it's just repeating it!

That attitude is just so weird. Of course, it's elitist and shitty, too. There's zero wrong with working as a cleaner, server, whatever and no one should feel like less of a person or ashamed of a job. Work is work.

Holy shit, that's horrible! Yes, I certainly can't imagine why anyone would assume that staking out a person's house and knocking on windows while the occupant hides and calls the cops would indicate that they weren't wanted! Definitely, you should have opened the door and told him to go away! There was no possible…

I think that's exactly right. It's just "funny". Like, it's the same thing that little kids do when they think it's funny to get you riled up by repeating back everything you say, the "not touching you" thing where they hover their fingers a centimeter from you (but they aren't touching you, so don't get mad!), etc.

I have a seething, nearly irrational hatred for "cuppa". Like, if you write, "I'm going to make myself a cuppa tea,", it's irritating, but whatever. Compared to, "I'm going to make myself a cuppa,", which is somehow infinitely worse.

Haha, it can! I'm certain I'm not alone in it. Some people even have the labia trimmed surgically (labiaplasty). That can be for aesthetics or for function. Labia minora that are longer can sometimes get caught during sex and get pulled, and that can hurt!

If a woman has inner labia longer than her outer labia, the same thing can happen. The outer labia are structurally equivalent to the scrotum, but are generally not long enough to get stuck on anything (and of course, most scrotums hang lower than long inner labia). But inner labia, since they're hairless and...…

I agree. I was just saying that both she and Kristen Stewart get a lot of flack for being plain, boring, unexpressive, etc., and it's a little funny, because they're playing the same character. I don't think they need to be more smiley or animated. They both seem to be perfectly fine actresses working with the…

I loved Pacific Rim, too. I have always been a giant robot/giant monster fan (they are ridiculous, I know, but they are so much fun to me), and that movie really stood out as people who were also big fans. There were so many funny little references and allusions to the genre as a whole, so it felt like it might have…

I really dislike the purpley-prose style of writing that a lot of open letters take on. There's this weird, very dramatic way of writing them that makes me feel pressured, almost. It's like talking to that one friend who really, really needs you to see things his/her way and there's an undercurrent of aggressiveness…

As a trans person, I can totally see where you're coming from. It's really frustrating to see people are "supposed" to represent you be done so badly.

It really bothers me when people assume that others know that they're "safe" somehow. No, people don't know, and that's something that you, oh great ally that you are, should know. People who assume that they are "safe" people often cross lines that they shouldn't, because you're supposed to know that they'd never…

I think lots of movies have different voices for the singing parts and have the actors lip-synch if they can't perform the musical numbers. I don't know how common it is anymore with autotune and fancy post-production techniques, but it's done to get the "right" actor for the part, even if they aren't a great singer,…

I absolutely hate responses like that, because there is no good way to actually respond to it. If someone says you're just jealous, you're too uptight, etc. (any ad hominem attack, really), you can either ignore it (which then they say proves them right) or try to disprove it (which suggests you're insecure enough to…

I was born there, too! We left a little before my second birthday, I think, but I ended up living there again as an adult (and moved after a few years). It's kinda nice to see my home area have something nice written about it.

I know it probably doesn't help to hear it from a stranger on the internet, but really, I doubt that you've messed up your son for life or anything. Even if he does have a language delay (which, as I'm sure you know, is so common in multi-language households), it doesn't mean a delay forever. Some kids stall for a…
