Actually got asked once: “But if you don’t want kids, then why did you get married??”

Uh…”B-because we love each other and want to build a life together. Isn’t that why you got married?”

Smh.

It absolutely is. Accurate assessment. Today's drag sometimes has a feel of cartoonishness, too, which follows the same larger-than-life theme of the other forms.

I'm so sorry. My ex almost pulled me into one of those, as well...until I asked him, "Okay, so where do we put the piano?" I play professionally, so it's non-negotiable. Even with literally the smallest acoustic spinet piano ever built, smaller than an average buffet side-board, there still was no place to put it. Where are you supposed to put a sofa or a table & chairs in a space like that??

Oh also, similar to what you have, in the one he wanted the "kitchen" was a corridor to the living room. Literally - front door/main entrance fed into the kitchen. Like it was designed by someone who's never spent time in a house before. In fact, that kitchen had definite afterthought vibes. ("Is it a pantry or a coat closet?" Realtor: "Y-yes?") The one thing that property did have going for it was plenty of gallery walls, since it was three levels and all vertical space. Perfect for an art collector who isn't going to actually live there. Smh.

Yup. What a sweet deal!

This is the kind of thing that is very location-dependent.

Their floor-plans are shit, too. Plenty of square-footage, but no actual floor space b/c that footage is divided between 3 levels and full of stairwells. ie - 1200 sq/ft with no room for furniture. But hey, at least they have the curb appeal of medieval tenements. Who wouldn't want in on that?^/s

Um...that's not the conversation that's being had here, though.

I mean...the person said they use it as a meditative aid. What's to "nope" about that? Honestly, I'm not even sure what claims you're rejecting.

It's fully possible to respect and believe science while remaining open to the idea that there are things we haven't yet learned how to demonstrate scientifically.

The idea that we can only respect science by staying within bounds of what is already scientifically known is...quite contrary to scientific pursuit.

All I know is: when you shoot someone in the face and then they apologize to you...that's gangster-as-fuck.

Torturing and then dumping animals to advertise your unborn kid's genitalia. I guess it's marginally better than blowing shit up and accidentally killing people/starting massive wildfires for the same reason?

Recruiters are the worst. My cousin's wife thought she was being recruited into the Navy, arrived at boot...only to find she was a Marine. (She's a particularly dim one, so that may not have been entirely the recruiter's fault.)

Turns out, they're surprisingly easy to scare off, though. When you've already said "no" a million times, and they eventually ask, "Why? Are you scared you might have to kill someone?"...just answer, "Nah, that doesn't bother me so much. It's just that I'm pretty sure if I ever am in a situation where I have to kill someone, I'd rather do it without government sanction." As long as you can sell it like you mean it, they will. Not. Fuck with you after that. Ime.

Ikr? It's been a top comment on every thread relevant to this subject, lol.

Yeah, the most common response I saw to reports of his recent illness and death was "You mean he was still alive?"

Pedos eulogizing pedos. Tale as old as time.

"Lula" means "squid" in Portuguese. (Source: Dr. Google.)

It’s not, though. There is nothing new or experimental about any medical care being offered to trans kids or teens, It’s just newly present in the broader cultural awareness.

This was my question. How could they possibly enforce such a law?

Can we please have a country not run by idiots? Too soon?
