Sat Jul 21 2:23 PMhaha :) it's ok I was in England and enjoyed the ocean (cold like lake superior) on my birthday and there were a billion snails but I didn't see anything to eat them? like ... starfish or whatever? what. by rowan in Random
Sat Jul 21 2:06 PMNah. I guess I could see myself doing that if I genuinely thought water wasn't safe when travelling but I don't do much of that. Buying water seems outrageous to me in the region of the country I am in where there isn't a dearth or anything. by dorkorama in Random
Fri Jul 20 11:58 PMYes, definitely grapefruit. I've tried it in fruit salads, with sugar, even with salt. Nothing makes it taste good to me.
Fun fact: I didn't pick grapefruit because I blocked it from my memory.

Thu Jul 19 3:00 AMI agree that our culture as a whole needs to be exposed to more non-sexualized nudity. If naked bodies were more commonplace I think we'd see a lot fewer people who are self-conscious or have self image problems. I do also agree that there ought to be an option for privacy.
I don't know about anyone else's experience but I've never "walked around naked" in a locker room; I go in there, wash up, change my clothes and leave. I don't wander around wagging my genitalia at people, I don't expect anyone else would under a normal circumstance. It's also common courtesy not to watch people while they are changing, yes? I've never taken an opportunity to see someone I was attracted to naked in the locker room. That's obviously all anecdotal but I think most people are able to follow social mores. by Rainbow Dolphins in Feminism

I admit I haven’t been around here a ton lately but I didn’t know babySonic had arrived! Congrats!!!!
Alas I don’t have any actual advice. My college besties (a married couple) and I fantasize about sharing a house, and they are actively trying to have kids, so we talked about that possibility a little bit, but right now we live in different cities and they don’t have a kid yet so it’s all speculation. But I think it could probably work - as the prospective non-parent I would want to make sure I had my own kid-free space in the house and we were really clear about responsibilities ahead of time, eg, I’m a roommate not an all-purpose babysitter, how will this affect the split of other housework, etc. by octarineoboe in Pregnancy & Parenting

Mon Jul 16 3:00 PM Engineering is one of the coolest jobs in the world, but there are so many disciplines it can be a little daunting to choose one for yourself! I wasn't happy with the existing quizzes, they were mostly way too direct (do you like bridges or wires? uh...) or way too career-spammy, and they were all way too serious. So with that in mind I took some personality traits and kinda did my best attempt at mapping them to engineering fields. It's not scientific or accurate because it really doesn't matter, engineers do so many things and move around so much there's no way to predict what path you'll end up on... so relax! This point of this test is to combine the fun of a personality quiz with the usefulness of a career test... hey look at that, fun AND useful? It's getting engineer-y already!
Mon Jul 16 3:00 AMI like to sew. This calculator tells you how to make an arc for any skirt you've got the fabric for - just type in your measurements.
Sun Jul 15 3:00 AMMFS, you have super cool kids. Marimba was my favorite melodic percussion instrument to play, except maybe the chimes parts in any Mahler piece. It felt so good that I didn't even mind resting through all those time changes with a director that didn't cue. by melsbells in Random

Unfortunately the back and forth between hot & muggy, and chilled, dry, air conditioning has sent my whole family into a terrible health spiral. There's like no worse time to have a cold than the middle of summer. It just sucks all around. by Taurwen in Random
Wed Jul 11 6:01 PMInteresting article.
I love when white people attempt to teach other about racism and point hout how difficult it is even coming from another white person. Its one reason I bring up Jane Elliot so much.
It also reminds of telling my co workers about a very black film. I shared a link to the film with many of them. Its called "Hidden Colors." It came out in the early to mid 2000's and focuses on black history. Not the history taught in school but history that was purposely hidden by racist America. After watching it and taking in its historical points I felt very empowered but much more frustrated.

Everytime I see this thread I'm just bummed my vagina and brain can't team up to be a super haploid DNA saving machine :(
As for the actual topic, I agree that there's an issue with domestic violence. I'm not convinced it's as widespread as you imply. And sometimes I think it's less that women are evil and more that assholes who are women are taking any advantage they can get. I don't think advantage and privilege are necessarily the same thing though, just that obviously if there's a fight people's inclination is to blame the larger parcipitant. I think I've mentioned before that in cases where domestic abuse was witness in my experience it's always women who have intervened with the police to say it was the woman who was perpetrating the abuse.

Thu Jul 5 12:55 AMI profoundly miss lighting off fireworks on the Fourth of July. We did that every year growing up and every year I've been able to visit. If I wasn't continuously lighting off bottle rockets, roman candles, and other armaments from 6 PM to when we ran out, it wasn't the Fourth.
However, for the past few years I've been unable to visit. Something always comes up. This year, we decided not to travel so far with a 6-week old. We've mostly been going to my closer in-laws instead. I love them, they have a better beer selection, but they don't do fireworks. They don't
