Means well, takes jokes too far. She/they pronouns, demigirl.
If someone tells you they have a broken foot, they expect you to keep in contact. If it's a line, it's an unusual and poor one. They should be able to reschedule somewhere in the next two-three weeks, be accommodating, of course, or ask if you could bring something by, idk if you've met yet.

Yes, this tends to be true. It can also be pets. They don't always have said pets. Family tragedy provides an excuse for not returning calls.

Btw, if you lie to get out of dates, remember that it's not impossible that you will someday be really into a friend of the person you lied to.

My daughter was in a boot for over a month and it wasn't actually broken, but lots of soft tissue damage that only showed on an MRI. I find it believable in terms of possibility. I wouldn't go out on a date after breaking my foot.

It's an odd lie to stand someone up with.

Also, it is kinda hard to call someone with two broken wrists. It's not literally impossible with a cell phone, but picking it up would hurt, unlocking it would really hurt if you had to push side buttons, each number press would hurt some. I'd be weepy before I got the phone to ring & cancel.

And you gave her a protocol to enjoy as well! You are certifiably wise, Sarah!

Is this a quiz? Or are you asking for advice?

Is your goal better orgasm, relaxation, sleep, deeper meditative practice (which type/school of meditation, btw), or something else?

Am I being overly didactic because this was just supposed to be a sexy question?

Though I am not doing hrt, I can imagine someone thinking about it or on it for less time with questions asking if they could talk to you just based on your profile. Plus there will be the "Yeah! Fellow traveller!" And "Goals!" New followers.

As a counterpoint, I disagree on both counts. As a fellow wordy person, I think it can be good to let that through. How hard should we work on condensing when our followers will never see that again.

And hrt start date says a lot in few characters. Some facts matter/+

Interesting interplay that adds to the discussion. I like that there are creative works that are not sold, or that shouldn't be. I think also of the sand and butter mandalas that are swept away after they are completed, or kachina dolls that should not be sold.

Your argument only applies, if at all, to fully self-employed creatives who sell their work directly to the public or as part of a collective of creators.

For any creative who is paid to do work and someone(s) else gets a large amount of profit from that work, capitalism is at play.

Often being dismissive of "what a child would say" or "too idealistic/simplistic" actually equates to dismissing what is most obviously true and fair.

A child would ask why people are sleeping on the streets when it's dangerously cold outside and there are lots of vacant hotel rooms in sight.

Didn't I hear someone say something similar recently, except it was Hitler who was forced to make "hard decisions" because Poland was so unreasonable? Tucker Carson was there nodding along, guy's name starts with a P, P as in Polonium, Trump loves the guy...

And for creatives who haven't "made it" enough to be full time professionals (as well as many who have), they deserve abuse, ridicule, getting their work stolen for sharing their work and trying to develop an audience, because they must just be vain clout chasers anyway, right?

It's like a guacamole recipe with mayonnaise inexplicably added, sour cream in the guacamole instead of on the side, and no garlic or lime juice.

Has everyone in this thread seen Martin Mull's The History of White People in America? It is very midwestern white, especially in its food scenes, and I think many reading this thread would love it.

Oooh, the second one might be useful in the Zombie Apocalypse if zombies can get sinus infections and lose their sense of smell.

That is your right, of course, but many people with children do not context switch well, especially when tired, and parents of young children will often be tired when their children are awake. So it's worth sounding dumb. I tried to not say the silly substitute words either, though.

This could become a thread for posters that incorporate these words.

Yeah, that was never the slogan. Lies happen, but they are quite rare. Believe women. Take them seriously. Keep them safe and preserve evidence. Investigate. Too often women are disbelieved or disregarded even when the evidence is clear because, "prison might hurt the young man's future."
