That’s... not what I’m saying. In fact it is the opposite. I am saying that while there may be no defined gene for sexuality or gender identity (like hair color), our current understanding is that it is “caused by combination of genetic and environmental factors that we do not yet understand completely.”

Meh, yeah, “monsters the entire lot” is reductionist, but I don’t think they’re saying republican candidates do this, but rather, like I said before that rhetoric we hear from the conservative media encourages a small minority of conservative christians who are otherwise violent/aggressive people to act in the name of…

OK, I just went and read all the comments (ETA: on the original jez article), lol, because procrastination is a way of life. Sorry, there really isn’t anything vitriolic. Lots of “how was he able to get a gun with a history of violence,” and “where are the right wing presidential candidates denouncing extremism now,”…

Nah sure, I’m sure there are some, although I didn’t personally read anything that denounced every christian as a violent extremist -it is definitely stretching it to say there are “lots” or act like everyone t/here hates Christian people.

I mean, they currently believe that gender presentation is caused by combination of genetic and environmental factors that we do not yet understand completely. On the one hand, that means in the absolute strictest of definitions, people are not “born that way” if it is not written directly into their genome. On the…

My interpretation of their “no scientific data” thing is them saying “science does not have a 100% complete understanding of gender, and so we are going to pretend that means there is not ANY data to back up currently accepted ideas.” Basically it’s the same straw-man they use to say that we can’t * prove * evolution.…

Mmm. I saw the PP attacks and denounced a political climate that encourages radical christian thinking and self-victimization. I do not think the vast majority of Christians in America condone violence. I did not read anything to indicate that in the gawker/jez comment section. I do think the rhetoric we hear from the…

Isn’t he moving to Oman? I thought that was a fairly liberal country... I know a decent number of my Bf’s coworkers have moved there with their families for work and everyone basically enjoys it.

When shopping for sports bras at 14-15, my mom kept picking out padded sports bras. I thought that was dumb, as the purpose of a sports bra is to strap you down, and as a result most people get that your ladies are... strapped down. I tell her I don’t want a padded sports bra.

My grandmother once told me as like a 10 year old, “I can tell when you are older you will wear a LOT of make up.”

This is how I feel about Jemima Kirke on Girls... she lets her dark circles shine! It makes me really happy because I am so self conscious about mine.

Add a contact named “Fuck fuck” and Fucking fucking” - bam! It knows the word.

Right!? The last time i got a manicure the lady kept repeating “So short, so short...” Lady, I wear gloves all day with my hands in people’s mouths, do you want me poking people!? :(

I disagree. “Young” is a descriptor on “adult.” They are adults - 18 or over. But they are young relative to other adults - 18 is very young relative to 40, 50, 60. If you want to describe someone under 18 who is taking on adult-like characteristics, you could say older or mature adolescent. You could say teen, or…

United is the biggest shit hole. I have been delayed 12 hours multiple times due to technical errors. And they never reimburse you. I try as hard as I can to NEVER fly United.

Thats a sleep disorder? This happens to me all time... I thought it was normal! Does it affect your ability to actually fall asleep?

I think its fairly common for dying people to see the people they love around them... at least thats what hospice told us when my grandmother was dying. She kept saying she was seeing faces. “Look at all the faces! Do you see the faces? I see Adam’s face (her grandson who had passed away 30 years before). There’s a…

Me too, man :( I hate waking up in the dark!! I would take waking up in the light over an hour of light at the end of the day... any day. Lol.

Yeah, my boyfriend does all of our laundry, mostly because he likes to do it like... every two days and i like to do it every two weeks (lol), and he would come in and ask me how to wash stuff all the time. I’ve told him probably a dozen times - if you do what the tag says, i will never be mad. Easy peasy, man!

It coooould have something to do with the fact that youngins are moving around a lot between 20-30. I tried to vote last year, got to the voting station, and my registration for my new county hadn’t been processed in time.
