    It is ok. It is an awkward situation whose overtones feel really fascist and awful, but if you think about what actually happens (cup peeing, the end), it is not a problem! You will be ok.

    like, this is a cell with a string in it, and you're trying to pull out a date out of the middle of that string?

    How do you guys feel about platitudes?

    Let's say your family member is sick. You're telling me about it and you conclude with "I hope everything works out."

    Would you rather hear "I hope so too" or "I'm sure it will."

    Of course, I'm not sure about any such thing. But what would you rather hear?

    I hope so too, of course. I'm sure it will is kinda annoying. Either it really means "I hope so too", in which case that's what you should say, or you genuinely think the world tends towards nice outcomes, which would try my patience instead of reassure me.

    That is a classic look for that 12 year old

    This reminds me of every traumatic childhood Easter I had to be photographed through

    Really, though, I had a traumatic flashback last christmas. My cousin and her husband had their two-year-old kiddo in a little lederhosen-y doll outfit and it was super adorable. But he also triggered all my suppressed family dress up memories. Everyone on my mom's side got those exact same cutesy outfits inflicted on them as children. At one point pulled my cousin's husband aside and say "listen, this is so cute now, but just so you know it's only going to last a couple more years. Because he is going to learn. He is going to learn and he is going to fight. Because he is a HUMAN BEING and not a DOLL. YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO A HUMAN BEING." And then I blacked out and it wasn't christmas anymore.

    For a less traditional look, Barneys New York carries a $859 Comme des Garcons short suit trimmed with chiffon panels. We think it looks pretty bizarre.

    I mean, the cut is terrible

    but I would like to explore more of this semi-kilt suit look with feminine elements for men pls

    Not with that shirt and jacket, but a skirt like that with less dorky shoes would look really good on a guy.

    Technically, the suffragettes did eventually die, so

    I did say during though

    dunno, it'd be interesting to find out...I know in the US women were beaten and raped for trying to vote

    Yeah. I know a few went on hunger strike.

    I can't seem to find anyone that died from it, like, as a direct cause.

    Looking just at Britain is finding me less results than general woman's suffrage too.

    Hrm. My brother posted something opposing California's SB 1146 bill on Facebook. This is what he says the bill will do:
    1) Erase Christian colleges from California
    2) Curtail religious freedom in America
    3) Break the Constitution

    Here's what it actually does:
    1) Removes the religious exemption (which needs to be specifically applied for) for Title IX anti-discrimination laws for schools that do not train ministers or theologians.* The most vocal opponents of the bill are the ones that have applied for this exemption in the last 3 years and are still pending, so they never had this exemption to begin with.
    2) Forces schools to openly state that yes, they have the religious exemption to Title IX when recruiting students.

    * Yes, you read that right. Colleges that can't be assed to actually TEACH ministers or religious scholars want to claim themselves as a "Christian" university, for the sole purpose of continuing to discriminate as much as they want.

    I pointed out that this is a good bill that removes a special snowflake exception from schools that probably don't deserve it, and that it's being used as the next proxy in the ongoing culture war. I tried to state this in as neutral terms as possible. I really hope this doesn't blow up in my face (It probably will).

    My family does this all the time. And it's like "this, this right here, this is not helping my psychological health and prosocial adjustment!"

    As a kid those comments would make me wonder: Why do you think it is smart to fail at understanding how to get along with other people?

    Ego. It's not that you are bad at social stuff, you're too intelligent for the lessers.

    My dad always told us

    "You two are too smart not to try hard"

    and

    "Everyone else is an expert at something that you aren't."

    My dad always told me

    "Boy you need to wipe better you're turning the whites brown."

    My dad also said

    "A good shit is the start of a good day."

    Really, about 65% of all his advice was pooping-related.
