You need to get off your anime and talk to some real people in person. Make at least one of them a therapist.

Uh, yes there is. Infrastructure.

I got Thai curry from a new place. I have NO head for capsaicin heat, but I do like a bit of warmth so when he asked me how hot I wanted it on a scale of 1-10, I said three. He said that wasn't too bad.

I had to eat little bits alternating with lots of rice. He was from Thailand. Apparently, his scale is exponential. I can't imagine what a ten would be like.

They've been telling Gen X and younger that we're going to suffer when old since we were kids.

HA! I'm still writing 19-- sometimes.

That's your problem. You didn't try lemon, which is the best of the flavors.

Yeah, you really have no idea what you're talking about. That's not how genetics or dogs work. You're also building strawman and I can't be bothered any more.

Keep on showing off your level of understanding if that floats your boat. You're part of the problem.

I wonder what it would be like to have a home town. Not to mention one so proud of you.

I'm sure an animal bred to fight makes sure it only fights the four-legged ones. 🙄

Not all large breeds are dangerous in the same way. Trying to pretend they are against all the evidence to the contrary is either disingenuous or ignorant.

Swearing is unimaginative and dull.

Uh, no. Homemade mashed potatoes are easy and way better.

My kids won't even eat store bought tortillas.

Cultered butter is amazing, and it's easy to churn in a stand mixer.

Same with ice cream. An ice cream maker makes the difference.

Homemade pasta is indescribably better. If you get a pasta maker, it's not even that hard. Just a bit time consuming. And it's sooooo yummy.

I haven't bought canned pumpkin in 20 years. It's not bad to process and freeze it, and with good pie pumpkins, it's unparalleled. Plus you get home roasted pumpkin seeds as a bonus.

"Any large breed can be dangerous if trained to be" is vastly different from "this breed is dangerous unless trained not to be, and even then, it's iffy."

Anyone who thinks that a breed of dogs bred specifically for fighting has no innate traits for fighting has no idea what they are talking about.

It's not curiosity. I never felt like my gender. I've always been a fish out of water, and been extremely uncomfortable in my body. The way trans people describe feeling is how I've felt for the majority of my life.

But in the years since, I've come to terms with who I am and what my body is. I no longer feel the need to make it be anything other than what it is.

Good for you. That doesn't change the statistics, so I'm not sure why you think your comment is relevant.

I don't know about transitioning, other than I probably would have thought I was trans if I'd been born later. I'm glad I wasn't told I'd have to go through surgery and hormone replacements to be what I truly am. I was able to define my gender for myself.

But I don't think anyone can judge another person's choices like that. I just look forward to the day when people are allowed to freely make choices about how they live their own lives. I don't think either political side is terribly flexible. (Though certainly, the right is far more rigid.)

I've seen too many people ostracized for changing their minds about being trans or changing their sexuality by people they thought were open-minded friends. Or people hated on for changing their faith by those who pretend to follow a loving God. It's painful all around. We shouldn't have to agree with someone on every point to celebrate and adore them.
