Why are you a frog?

I would like to add to this conversation, “I’ve talked it over with myself and I’ve decided I’m going on strike,” is an extremely powerful thing to say.

…I didn’t promise my addition would be valuable.

We’re certainly allowed to see this in our own ways. Anyone who says blanket statements about how we perceive an unborn child is making a statement about what we believe.

In my opinion, that kind of assertion crosses the line between someone championing the opinion of another and becomes championing their own opinion.

Neither.

I’m talking about this:

The reason why it’s worse if she’s pregnant is because you took away her choice and opportunity to have that baby

To each their own I guess. I personally would feel horrible about killing a child not just removing a temporary opportunity or something. I’m not saying it’s the same as an abortion, just that we on a fundamental level do understand that the fetus isn’t just a clump of cells.

Go and find the context, see that they used lots of “I’m pro choice” language, but then went on to argue that an embryo is a child. This is someone using lots of careful language, but is making a specific argument.

We are all women laughing with salad on this blessed day.

I read “EverQuest” and my brain commented, “You mean EverCrack,” immediately.

My cousin was horrifically addicted. Luckily for me, my opinion on subscribing to a game was, "no matter how good a game is, I’m not paying for it over and over, " even in middle school, so he couldn’t convince me to try it.

They go on to argue that abortion is murder in a different comment. They’re using careful language but it’s obvious this isn’t a person who is simply “arguing the other side,” this is a conversation done in bad faith.

Yes. Yes he did.

That’s the beauty of the internet. There’s always a competitor. I don’t have to use someone who had a bad reputation at one point but is fine now. I can just use someone else.

Seriously. This happens all the time. You can take your ball and go a new place to play. The power is with content creators, not the people who own the space you’re in.

Whatever makes sense.

My cat is a fetch cat. He loves to fetch.

Every time he does a pounce on one of his toys and rabbit kicks it, or stalks it across the living room, I praise him for all his murder skills. I also will tell him that’s why he’s not allowed outside, he’s simply too fierce and terrifying and all the animals would die.

He seems to enjoy the praise because if I don’t say anything he’ll keep playing, but when I praise him he runs back to me with his toy and a jaunty little prance for scratches.

Do it with your mouth full!

I find both gross!

Read the following in a conspiratorial whisper:

I heard she’s… literate.

It’s not fun when you give me permission!!

Oysters were supposedly an aphrodisiac. They aren’t but it’s been one of those old wives’ tales since before I was born.

Keep in mind that there are lots of people who know exactly what they need, but can’t afford it.

The guy giving the presentation used the example of a pill that cures Hep C. They charge you $84,000 for the pills that will cure Hep C, but since there are cheaper meds that manage Hep C, insurance will cover only those.

By the way, making those cure pills with this system costs about $70. For the entire course of the medication.

The problem you’re talking about (see a professional to get a proper diagnosis and treatment!) is perfectly valid and wise. But if I try a migraine medication, and it works, but after the trial I have to pay hundreds of dollars a pill?

Yo ho!

I can’t really comment on the European experience though, so I said American, which I am, and which I am qualified to talk about.
