All you spaghetti haters in this post need to get bronze die cut pasta. Modern machines produce pasta that's too smooth so sauce doesn't stick. The old school extruders/cutters leave a tiny surface texture that allows sauce to cling on!

Good for her. Fuck the BBC for trying to spin this like it's a bad thing for standing up for trans people.

I do think there is one answer that would solve 90%+ of these: legal abortion.

Be aware that if you're keeping up taking care of him, someday it may be in his best interests to keep you from excelling on your own. Please be wary of anything that could sabotage your life plans, and have contingency plans ready. Best of luck ♥️

I'll give the author this, it's definitely a thoughtful and lengthy piece. However, it does veer towards some unpleasant philosophies towards the end imo with a weird appeal to nature and introduction of pickup artist shit like sexual market value aka ranking attractiveness. Citing Aella as a source of information also put me off, she is definitely not a reliable resource. I think this one would've been better as an essay about lived experience and opinions rather than trying to tie it together into a neat bow with a half baked biological theory. People are messy and they're allowed to live messy lives, be it monogamous or polyamorus.

No protests from me, just stating facts that there are plenty of people who don't as well

Counterpoint: a greater number have touched a vagina (but that framing doesn't obsess over a woman's sexual purity, so, clearly less important)

It's been several years, but I've received something similar from UHC, maybe only a few sentences shorter. This reads to me like the same bs put through an LLM.

I did get them to cover their denied service, btw, after faxing over the world's thinnest-disguised pissy letter of contest to their decision. I'm not an easy person to anger but let me tell you, I saw red when I got that denial.

Are you sure they are intending it in a diminutive sense and not a familiar or affectionate sense? Buddy is pretty common to call people you are being friendly with in American English at least. If you don't like a nickname or term of endearment, you can tell your friends not to use it, but fair warning, friends of your age might just tease you about it instead of respecting your wishes.

Most of this is minutia that I am not in an informed enough position to comment on, but what a take three quarters into the article that they should keep their local cops because they don't have an inquest process when people are killed! Like, no dude, it's actually good that cops have to do the bare minimum investigation if someone dies on their watch. It ought to be more!

Seems like the author is a conservative radio host so I'd take most of this article with a huge grain of salt.
