It took almost two hours and I listened to all of it.

IDK. I did the male-to-female one and it was surprisingly unsettling. In a good way. I think the other commenter is right about connecting. Seeing myself as a woman made women less...other? I don’t quite know how to describe it but I know it did something. Something positive.

Even if you don’t think trans people should be serving in the military, what Trump did was a shitty thing to do to anyone.

I think I see the problem here, which is that I think you are inferring something that shouldn’t be inferred. You are correct that it is an awfully risky and dangerous mentality. If trans people are constantly worried about their safety (which is what both they and the crime statistics are telling us), then the…

What is not reasonable is when I find out when the pants drop

Coincidentally, both running and throwing up are on my list of things I least like to do.

Let me sum up and see if I understand things aright: you’ve met a person that you’re initially physically attracted to. So you go out. You enjoy the date. You go on another. In the meantime, you’re texting and/or calling, getting to know each other better. You go out a second time, because you find you have…

So I would prefer to not go on multiple dates, so they build enough trust in me, to then tell me, to then find out I am not interested.

[haven’t read any of the books] I really like where this Bran thing is going. It might be my favorite thing on the show. That and Arya’s story.

Worse than the 49ers?

“Return” to rule of law. “Rebuild” the military. Agenda items for second term include making the sun go back to shining during the day and requiring all Americans to wear their shoes on their feet.

Maybe this is the restaurant’s way of keeping American MRA twerps out of Australia?

nailed it

All political discourse on the right seems to have devolved to some variation of “I know you are but what am I” or “Oh, yeah? Well, so’s your mom.” Somebody please tell me when recess is over; I desperately want to go back to class now....

I want to own the world. Every young person should be able to have that dream and the ability to access it. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.
