I’m reminded of the onion here

Yeah I used to not wear bras all that much outside work because my girls are pretty perky, but they’ve got some flop when I move and once I got my nipples pierced it was a choice between a bra or my nipples and their bars being very noticeable all the time.

And sis, I know you’ve got low self esteem, but especially as estrogen keeps working its magic guys will be noticing you, especially if scantily dressed. I’m not going to go into a safety lecture or anything, just, build good habits before you think you need them.

Well now she’ll have more time to pursue women subordinate to her

Hate’ll pickle you

Generally yes

It may be malicious compliance, but the law is harsh enough it’s probably not worth risking it even if you like the law and st Patrick’s day. Citizens being able to personally sue government officials is meant to be a distributed and painful means of ensuring compliance even if nearly everyone in an area thinks the law is stupid or shouldn’t be applied in this case. It just takes one resident, that’s why they’ve been using it in red states with blue cities.

Yeah I’ve got a complicated relationship with my height and size in general. Like on one hand it amplifies a lot of the crap I deal with being trans, and it’s always so awkward being a head taller than every other woman in a room, and I find myself trying to make myself smaller, but on the other hand I’m barely taller than my mom and some of my old friends from growing up are tall enough they had to be tested for gigantism as kids so I’ve got so many positive associations with height, and my wife really likes my height

As a tall woman, even taller women are the best

Ohio makes it really easy to do citizens initiatives, so it’s not that surprising

It’s been 11 years and she’s still screwing them over

Ohio as well

Yeah that’s just fucking depressing

It’s only oddly phrased if you aren’t used to headline style writing, aka headlinese

Wonkette is always amazing lol

True, but if she crosses 50% at the end it doesn’t matter. She’s sitting at 49% which is up from earlier in the week and last week. Definitely not certain she’s going to win, but I think it’s a real possibility. If it’s a runoff I’d be shocked if she wins

I’m glad she’s big enough to concede. And I’m proud of Mississippi, which is something I didn’t ever expect to say. I hope that Mississippi continues on this path, so the rest of the south can change the meaning of the old saying “thank god for Mississippi” to mean that every state has the power to change and deserves to not be given up on.

You’ve just made an enemy for life!

Narcissism isn’t necessarily genetic, predisposition to it may be, but personality disorders seem to be caused by a combination of factors, with a major one being childhood experiences. Source My father has (unmanaged, but not particularly severe) NPD and I just wound up with CPTSD and no personality disorders. Same for all my siblings.

In my uneducated opinion, a much better school based approach would be to keep an eye out for children displaying signs of personality disorders, possibly even screening for them, and then trying to help get them access to treatment from a young age so they can stop hurting themselves and others sooner

From what I’ve heard in all my experiences with folks woth BPD, all y’all in the cluster B have a ton in common internally, just different means of dealing with it. Apparently AvPD is cluster C, so nevermind that bit

And good on ya for working on it so hard and consistently. While the results do matter, the only thing we should judge people on is whether or not they make a sincere effort, and it sounds like you are.

I do it when I realize it’s a comment I don’t want to be associated with. Maybe I realized I was being tone deaf, maybe I realized I was being monumentally stupid, maybe I thought I was being clever until the post posting clarity showed me the light, and maybe I realized I was wading into a fight I don’t want to actually fight.

I get the people who prefer edits, and if I think an edit is valuable I’ll make it. I’m very much not afraid to edit. But if there’s little interaction with something and I realize it’s something I’d rather not have said, well then I just delete it.
