You should've have told her you're worried about the domestic abuse that's about to litter her stupid racist FACE. -___________-

Yep. My other big issue is that I literally can't remember most of my childhood, and I don't know if it was the trauma of moving countries back and forth several times before the age of 7 or what, and I have these memories of being held down so that my dad could punch me in the face until my nose bled. My mom insists…

I posted about this earlier, but I got hit as a kid, and all it taught be was that getting hit was the price I had to pay in order to do what I wanted. I was an annoyingly smart child, though (it's evened out since and I am perfectly average, but at the time, I was far more manipulative than anyone gave me credit for).

I was hit as a kid and honestly, the only thing it taught me was that if I wanted to do whatever I want, that was the price to pay. I doubt I'd hit my kids, NOT because I think smacking a child every so often constitutes as abuse (I'm sorry, but whoever says that has never been around a child for an extended period of…

Don't disagree with you on most things, but wanted to point this out -

It's sad that I felt the need to stop and comment to congratulate you for not being an asshole, but seriously, I'm not being sarcastic. thank you for not being an asshole. It's nice to know after reading this that at least some people are probably not secretly sociopaths.

First of all, I'm sorry for the pain that your family has gone through. I sympathize with these parents, and I certainly think it's reasonable to encourage caution when giving vaccinations to toddlers, especially when there is a family history of any kind of disorders that may be triggered by the vaccine (and I…

I'm about to sound like a total asshole, BUT... I kind of really want some of the children of these anti-vaccine types to get smallpox and measles and all those other diseases that have been effectively eradicated. I mean, I'm not saying I want actual, concrete children to get sick or die, but I guess, just... I want…

Nobody is saying that some people don't have reactions to vaccines. It's just that those reactions tend to be pretty mild and MUCH better than the disease they are preventing. Alternatively, if someone has a compromised immune system that doesn't allow them to take vaccines (because yes, they are not for everyone!)…

My fiance and saw someone using one of these on the subway. He was so genuinely confused about it ("what are those people doing? why is their phone on a stick?"), it was fucking adorable.

I'm sorry about your friend's experience. Something similar happened to me, and it's rape, and I wouldn't acknowledge it as such for a long time. Admitting it was rape made me feel like I was acting the victim, and I know that's not true now, but it was hard to process as a 20 year old.

But *which* big 10, northern school?

I don't really disagree with that at all, because I think it's pretty reasonable, as far as what makes a quality person, in general. But I think it's not fair to necessarily say that girls that go to clubs don't possess those characteristics - I think that rubbed me the wrong way. I don't think it's necessarily rare…

O...kay. Well, that doesn't answer my question, but that's cool, you can just reference how many people essentially clicked the 'like' button on the internet. I want to know what makes a "quality girl" in your opinion - can you articulate that?

What's a "quality girl"? Because I think most girls - just like most human beings - tend to have a fairly diverse set of characteristics and traits, both desirable and non-desirable, and I think that what you are trying to say is that the characteristics that you value in particular are less likely to be found in a…

I wouldn't mind. My fiance's toes look terrifying because he literally forgets about them, and his toenails grow all scary and long and yellow and oh god am I marrying a wendigo

Guys, OT, but I just found a shiny Ditto. What should I... I don't know... do with it? Do I just like, keep it for the cred?

Maybe if they weren't so busy turning their backs, they'd have noticed it wasn't jeans in the first place.
