Nope, definitely not obvious. If your orifices are coming into contact with the actual toilet seat, you're doing it wrong.

I think you're lost, child.

Yes and no. I'm not directly paying their wage, I'm paying the restaurant. But under the current tipping system, I have to intentionally decide how much my server is going to be paid. That's not a burden I particularly want to bear :|

I like when tips are used as a "thank you" and not a burden on the consumer to pay someone's wages. I suppose that's why I don't hate tipping my tattoo artist and hairdresser the way I don't like tipping in restaurants. I have no desire to be a business owner, so why should the burden of paying someone fall to me?

Oh honey, stand up straight! It doesn't matter how short your date is!

I'm an American and I don't get it, either. I loathe the tipping system. Mind you, I'm a sheep and am easily swayed by the threat of being shamed for being a bad person, so I always tip the standard amount. But yes. It's stupid.

I'm definitely not tipping for my coffee unless the barista has done something extra for me. You get paid standard wages at a coffee place (i.e., the same I got paid as a cashier at Target), and I'm not going to tip for a drip coffee.

I know that feel. I kind of had to stop internetting for a day or two after the whole kerfuffle.

Plus even if you dismiss the comment, it still shows up in your notification history :/

Hah! They let me TEACH labs at my university, and I show up with ears full of piercings and purple hair. No dress code for me. Universities are only professional environments if you work there as a professor, and even then it's pretty lenient.

So if you don't think it's offensive you should have to go be naked in everyday non-glamorous situations to punish you for thinking this way?

Do you really think here young, impressionable fans are going to go to their middle school dances in sheer dresses? :|

Aw, that sounds awful :( Good luck, I hope sexytime doesn't always hurt.

Nah, I have a pretty great sex life with my husband but I haven't ever had "face-melting" sex either. Maybe it's because I haven't indulged in drugs while sexing. Idk. I can't have more than one orgasm in a row (yes everyone, I've tried, blahblahblah it just doesn't work) so that's that. So it goes.

Or maybe she has such consistently good sex that no single incident stands out. :/ Sorry your average is so crummy?

Not to pry, but do you suffer from vaginismus? I experienced a mild case of it in my early sexual experiences and it was AWFUL. I'm so sorry if that's the case :(

Agreed. I hate when people respond to school shootings with "wouldn't it have been nice if passers-by had firearms?"

Heh. Mostly I verbally browbeat him with other people's stories (especially about gaming and how in women in nerd circles are treated) and told him that his never having seen it doesn't mean it's not there. After some hysterics once or twice about how women are conditioned to fear the world and be prepared to always…

I've been pretty ragey about this crap lately as well. Although I'm bothered by the idea that your man-person still shows you your own personal brand of sexism. I yelled that out of my husband long ago.

Oh I know that feel. I'm a Master's student, and I haven't gained that much weight since I started grad school almost 2 years ago, but it's been really hard to find time to work out and while my weight has only gone up a few pounds, my body has definitely changed. I'm anxious a lot as well, and that makes me just…
