if you feel like feminism hasn't really accomplished anything in the past 50 years, try reading old issues of 'Playboy'.

we need to have a 'probationary adulthood' period. anything you do between the ages of 18 and 25 can be written off under a "young and stupid" exemption. specifically marriage and student debt.

just a reminder "Never Forget" is the start of the sentence. the end of the sentence is supposed to be "... so we never let it happen again" and NOT "... because we want to do it to someone else"

Sometimes I will delete a post not because I think it was wrong, but because the people who read it understood something different from what I intended

speaking as someone with mild autism, I just want to make it clear:
if doing something beneficial has chance of causing autism, DO IT
this is no more a disease than being left handed. its just a different set attributes, some advantages, some disadvantages

it is not impossible to be friends with someone you are sexually attracted to. If you are not sure, think of how you would feel if they hooked up with someone else. if you are happy about it, you are good to go. if not, you have some growing up to do

by short selling, you can make more money off a stock market crash than a bull market IFF you know when that crash will happen
