I’ll also add that we both have what is considered :good” jobs for our area. His just never offered insurance. We’ve never needed to be on public assistance, but we absolutely could not have saved enough since being together to prepare for this. Our bills total both of our yearly incomes for the next 2 years, plus if…

My husband was diagnosed with cancer in November of last year. He had gone two years with symptoms before I could talk him into going to a doctor because he knew it would be expensive (though he didn’t know just how bad it all was). He didn’t have insurance until January of this year and it’s pretty crap insurance,…

When you pray, you believe God is listening, not that he is speaking to you. It’s not a conversation. Conversations involve two people actively speaking and responding to one another. If only one person is speaking, it’s not a conversation. Your condescending and incorrect assumptions about prayer really show that…

Call your local health departments. If you don’t have insurance, they usually have free or reduced price flu shots. The county I work for offers them for free to everyone, even if they have insurance and are from another county.

I never tell anyone about my engagement ring, but if they ask about it I tell them the truth. My husband got it from his grandmother before she died and we were too poor at the time to afford anything else. I love the sentimental value more than I think I could ever love a store bought ring, but that’s just me. I’ve…

I said imo, as in “in my opinion”. I don’t think we should be encouraging people to fuck things that even vaguely resemble children.

This is how I feel about it. There’s nothing inherently wrong with using a sex doll if that’s what you want to do, it’s the maligned feelings of ill will (and downright misogynistic vitriol) aimed at real women by these men because for some reason they feel owed sex by the opposite gender.

You would think so, but no! All it does is serve to normalize that kind of behavior. Same (imo) with loli and shota type hentai. I know it says they’re 18, but they look 10 and it’s creepy as fuck that you find that sexually attractive. I could see it help to satiate some urges, but honestly those are urges that…

Maybe try and be a little less disparaging. This isn’t the Suffering Olympics, we can all be equally upset at how we have been treated regardless of when it happened and how it happened.

It’s homophobic because the only insult he could some up with was in regards to his sexuality, which means he thinks being gay is insult enough. 

I wouldn’t want to pick a fight with Rotti Largo. He’ll kill everyone you love and make you think it was your fault.

I don’t advocate for mass murder either, but what exactly do you propose we do about people who’s entire belief system is rooted in mass murder?

It really is, though, because you’re telling him to be rational and not feel how he feels when you yourself have no idea whatsoever what it’s like to be black and in a bi-racial relationship. Neither do I, for that matter, but I’m not going to tell someone who is how they should feel about the situation because that…

Have you ever complained about anything in your entire life? You do realize someone out there always had it worse than you, right? And just because that is a fact doesn’t mean you have no right to complain/wish for change in your situation?

Someone on my Facebook was calling for these men to be fired. I just can’t understand how people REFUSE to understand the actual reason these people are protesting. Like...you can be a cop and still want change in the police force, just like you can be an American and still want change for the country.

YESSSS I have a friend who is EXACTLY like this. He thinks everything “profound” he comes up with is a hot take like no one has ever thought of it before.

So he’s too smart for his own good, is what you’re saying?

Sorry, you don’t get to decide what does and doesn’t offend or trigger other people. Maybe you should consider that and then move the fuck on.

Sexual education is so, so, SO very important. I wish we’d go about things like this in the right order.

I hate seeing the phrase “just get out” or “just leave if you don’t like it” because instead of 1) acknowledging the issue or 2) attempting to fix the issue, you’re placing all the blame and all the effort to make change on the victim.
