You joke, but my mom used to say she was 5’12”, because she was uncomfortable being in the six foot range.

There was a time, in December of 2016, where I really thought that trump might come out as a democrat after taking office. I think I’d still prefer Gore had been inaugurated, if we’re changing the presidencies of this century, but trump coming out swinging for progressive causes (or at least socially progressive causes, because he’s been too rich for any actually leftist fiscal policies) would have been nice
Or feral, tbh.
Gender expectations for afabs in high school are unhinged. A “friend” once made me feel bad because I carried fat in my breasts, just because she was insecure about having smaller breasts than I did. I didn’t even want them at all, but somehow I got shamed for them not being good enough.
The most baffling part is that I didn’t get my period until 17, so at no point during high school did I even have a bust for her to get jealous about, I was just a little chubby.
I was also regularly called a man for not plucking my pretty tame eyebrows and getting fake tans. I’d say that they might have been picking up on my egg status, but I’m pretty certain that’s not the case. Man, I hated high school.
(Sorry for the stilted terminology- I don’t feel comfortable using any word to describe 17 year olds’ chests, it turns out.)

Must be ugly men who can’t even get a lady to open the door for them…
But for real, I’m a woman who opens the door for people who are approaching regardless of their gender and I wish for few things more than exclusively women who say things like this to have to deal with the men who get all pissy at a woman holding the door for them
Nah, I include my brain, but I also include my contiguous body and various practices.
If a hair falls out, I’ve changed, but not meaningfully. If a doctor does a biopsy and takes some of my brain tissue, I’ve also changed, hopefully also not meaningfully. If I become a person through injury, illness, or aging who never dances or if I forget how to speak my native language, I’ve also changed.

1·6 days agoI never took it in school, and I don’t have much contact with it now either. I’m picking up some Arabic now though.

6·6 days agoI took Spanish from age 12-22 and German from 18-23 and 29-31.
I speak both those languages, though my Spanish is rusty, because I moved to Germany and don’t have much contact with Spanish speakers.

I emigrated from the US five years ago. The last year I lived there, I paid $13k for healthcare (including my deductible and premiums) as a healthy single adult in my 20s with one monthly prescription.
The rubes argument was less fun than I expected.
You could always sabotage it
Maybe it’s just in this specific case, but if you can’t find any enjoyable music from an entire decade, that’s on you. Unless you want to try and make the case that you’re the only one with good taste and the rest of us are just lowly rubes, which is obviously ridiculous (though I’d probably enjoy the attempt).
But you’re allowed to have narrow taste and it’s not an insult. No need to get offended.

6·11 days agoA possible solution. If you go to your local game store and tell them why, they’ll probably give you a single or sell it to you for a few cents.
I know several, but they were mostly born in Germany or immigrated young.
No music in the 60s was good? I think you might just have some very narrow taste.
No need to financially support Rowling, but Newt Scamander was a great example of non traditional masculinity in the first fantastic beasts movie.



I would have taken it like that from anyone else, but it’s so OOC that I checked the spelling to see if it was a novelty account
