I think it’s more that a stew is a kind of soup. Bisque is a kind of soup, chowder is a kind of soup.
The real question is how many noodles can you eat it with before you have to start calling it a sauce.

And please don’t take any of this as meaning you shouldn’t be a girl if that’s what you want. For a lot of trans women, it really is easier to be a woman, it’s just not because dick vs boob.

Ovaries are a literal pain regardless of pregnancy. I want to get mine removed because they’re malfunctioning anyways, but I can’t because doctors are worried I’ll regret it.

As a counterpoint, I’ve been with my partner for 15 years, and we started as a one-night-stand. It’s backwards from how it usually happens, but he was particularly cool so I took him to breakfast the next morning, and then we got to know each other better. We became FWB, broke it off, dated other people, then got back together for real and haven’t quit since.
Yes, sex can’t be the only reason for love, but you can start there and find mutual interest after.

Even in STEM. Who gets the Blue Origin job, the person with a 4.0 and zero references, or the person with a 3.5 that partied with Bezos in college?

Honestly, this is why I’m always peeved when I hear parents telling their kids that school isn’t a social club. I followed that advice, only to find out that the real world cares more about networking than test scores. Whoops.

I grew up in red state poverty, moved to the west coast, and people up here genuinely do not understand what it’s like to live somewhere that sees travel as a bougie thing. I talk about how my parents couldn’t afford to send me with my class on the senior trip to europe, the first question that gets asked is why I couldn’t get a job and save up, not understanding I was childcare and housekeeping for my family while the adults worked. It’s not just coming up with the travel costs, it’s also coming up with the money to hire out replacements for the services I provided for free.
I’m privileged I could test high enough to get into a school that had a senior trip to europe, the public school barely got normal field trips. It’s not hard to understand why the person in OP would assume exchange students have access to a higher quality of life than them, they can clearly already afford to travel.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 3 weeks ago:
I’ve only played Witcher 3, and I thought it was obvious that it’s Ciri’s story being told from the perspective of the supporting cast, and that is an incredibly cool literary device.
- Comment on 7 for me 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been sleeping as 20 since I got chickenpox as a kid. The itchiness was completely unbearable, and I never liked how much pajamas bunch up when I toss and turn anyways. Now I only wear them on the rare night that it drops below freezing.

I remember patty-cake games being super popular in elementary school, and it switched to hacky sack games in late middle school through high school. I think the graph is accurate.

- Comment on How are roundabouts made? 4 weeks ago:
You’re asking about something called surveying, if you want a term to search for. Modern surveying equipment uses lasers to measure the land, then they do a bunch of trig to create an accurate map. Once you have an accurate map that’s keyed to known reference points, you can design the roundabout. When you’re ready to build it, it’s just following the map and using the reference points to measure it back out.
- Comment on Something something far-left 4 weeks ago:
What the woman who labors wants is the right to live, not simply exist – the right to life as the rich woman has the right to life, and the sun and music and art. You have nothing that the humblest worker has not a right to have also. The worker must have bread, but she must have roses, too. Help, you women of privilege, give her the ballot to fight with.

I can’t help with wrecking the heels, but do you remember that trick from when we were kids? Where you can bite down on your fingers, then hook them together and pull, and it hurts like hell?
- Comment on Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation. 5 weeks ago:
The way paid time off works in WA is that it goes into a fund that you get paid out of for missing work. So, a minimum of one hour of wages gets added to the pot for every full week of work.
I go to therapy weekly, so I can choose to either take my PTO to cover the hour I miss each week, or I can choose to save it for when I actually get sick. Hypothetically, I could also save it for a vacation, but I’m not bougie enough to take a vacation.
