Thank you, Marduk.

I dunno, cherry and blueberry and strawberry are both somewhat common ice cream flavors.

On second thought, this. ^

If we are really just a group of morally degenerate bullies, then just leave already. I have not taken the time and emotional energy to respond to your accusations because I do not owe you anything and I am clearly not going to change you anyway so there is no point. If someone else would like to ex...

Also, fwiw, I didn't say I enjoy it when handsome shirtless men check me out. I'd really just as soon they didn't, but that will have no bearing on my choices. ETA: I just realized I misinterpreted what you said. You said that men sexually assault *me* by running shirtless. That is bullshit too. And...

Visually sexually assaulting? Are you fucking kidding? What happened to people being responsible for their own minds and thoughts? Are you seriously comparing me running in a bra to someone physically violating someone else? Fuck you.

I suspect that few men and women will admit to wearing immodest clothing for the purpose of stimulating a sexual response in others. They will rationalize and say it is for comfort, or to dress in an attractive fashion, or you cannot tell what others will find sexually provocative, or they just don...

Yeah, that "us vs them" mentality is one of the reasons I no longer identify as Christian. Not just because so many Christians have that mentality, although that's also problematic, but also because it is deeply ingrained in Scripture and I can't believe in a deity that doesn't call that b...

My principal has no earthly idea what I do all day as an AP English teacher. She needs to go back to elementary school where she came from.

I have been reading about Cymbalta withdrawal symptoms. I had no idea. It must really be awful. I am so sorry for you. I can see why you are working with a physician to reduce your dosage. What was your dosage, if I may ask. Thanks. I've been on 60 mg for more than 5 years. This week I've been alte...

I am (with my doctor's assistance) attempting to reduce my dose of cymbalta. I feel like shit.

There are a lot of tropes out there that I can't stand, but virtuous women swooping in to save flawed men is one of the absolute worst. It teaches a woman that she's supposed to give up her happiness to fix someone else's life. It teaches a man that he can just sit back and wait for someone else to...

I hear you, and I believe you. <3

Oh man these posts brought up a lot of feelings for me. I also think they are pretty much example A for why I don't want a lot of my family at my wedding. Sigh. Is this a hypothetical future wedding? Or are you getting married? Still hypothetical. But honestly most extended family is off the list w...

I got the flu this week while recovering from food poisoning, so I might not be dead but I sure do feel like it. Nooooooo! Take care of yourself, this year's strain is really yucky. Not sure if you're opposed to drinking alcohol, but if you're not may I recommend a hot toddy? https://www.epicurious...

I think it is justifiable to leave room for the possibility that many people who leave the church are genuinely doing the best that they can. That's.....kind of condescending? I appreciated Sheebs' response, actually, because even a moderate response like that one is pretty darn liberal in Mormon d...

Hoooooooo boy. Thorny issues. Thank you for bringing them up. I will try to give some input and I hope it's helpful. From the original question - the anonymous writer said that the difficulties are pretty much irreconcilable. And....to be honest, I kind of agree. When a religion teaches that people ...

Hi! What's new with you?

https://100hourboard.org/questions/90795/ I typically agree with what Luciana says, but in this case I think she's off-base -- disguising a discussion about physical attractiveness as a discussion about health is something that happens a lot in our culture and I think it's icky. The topic does merit...
