I remember as kids always thinking he was creepy, and my sister and I would always make jokes about how weird his “love” message came off. Surely there were other kids that also picked up on this?? What about the adults?

Yeah, I was in Houston for 6 years and never felt like I was a lone brave liberal in a conservative place (lol). Then I moved to SA for dental school, and have a ton of retired military types as my faculty. Some of them are wonderful open minded people, and some of them are genuinely sexist turds, but both control my…

I agree with everything you’ve said here, but want to add that sometimes that kind of posting can be brave in and off itself, and allows the protest to reach people who might not have otherwise had access to it.

Perhaps he just a large sentient blob of fat and gas, no bones, organs or muscles.

My grandmother was Danish. My great-grandmother was Eleanor, my great aunt was Ellen, and my grandma was Ellie.

I don’t wash my hands when I pee every time, either. I get nasty horrible eczema on my hands if I wash them too much. I have to wash my hands all time for my job, and that already causes my poor fingers all sorts of problems. So sorry, if I didn’t poo, I’m not washing.

You need not venture to reddit for that attitude... its alllll over Jezebel. Every Frickin Wedding article has hoards of people falling over each other to claim *their* wedding was chillest and easiest. It places an equal and opposite pressure on weddings that is frustrating.

Its the marfans

Sadly, this song makes me tear up every time.

Hah, I was trained as an archaeologist (although now a dentist), so I thought about saying something like “ehh they can probably tell some stuff about the size and placement of her muscles” to sayitwithalcohol but didnt feel like getting into that. Especially because knowing she had, say, larger muscle attachments…

Yeah Sayitwithalcohol is super hung up on one artistic choice amongst hundreds of artistic choices. I suspect this person doesn’t truly get that literally the only ~*science*~ we have is the lady’s bones. Literally none of it other than her bone structure is more than an educated guess.

Yeah, NPR was discussing Moore/Jones with a voter eaaaarly Monday morning and he said exactly that. “If its voting for a child molester or a child killer, which would you choose?” At least that dude said his wife was staying home and refraining from voting and he was ok with her doing that :/

Is there a reason to hate her other than that she’s just... bland?

I just learned so much about lobsters. That man was so endearingly educational. A Maine Steve Irwin who only knows about lobsters.

Yeah, I commented for about 5 years under a different name and was “ungrayed” but my computer crashed, and with it went my kinja passcode, so I had to start a new account. Its been about 4 years I think? I regularly comment. Still grayed. I know its no ones fault that they couldn’t know cottagecheesewoman and…

I consider “come” a verb and “cum” a noun.

I posted something similar as well. We don’t assume MI with a woman, we assume syncope or something more benign.

I had the thought that perhaps when a person collapses bystanders are less likely to think “cardiac arrest” for a woman than they are for a man. We tend to think of heart disease as a male disease.

I’m pretty sure if you are an otherwise thoughtful and honest parent, perpetuating a silly myth once/year will not cause your kids to lose their faith in you. I trust my dad whole heartedly even though he once put half a cotton ball in the sliding glass door and pretended that he juuusst barely missed the easter…

I don’t think of it as a lie, I think of it as... fiction. or imagination. Is playing princess and dragon forbidden because LIES you will NEVER be a princess or a dragon! Nope, you can’t go play superheroes, kiddo, because superheroes are FAKE. When a magician comes around and does a cool card trick, are you…
