Trans woman that lives in a big city here. After multiple scary encounters and one requiring pepper spray, I don’t walk outside at night by myself anymore. It’s amazing that when the world saw me as a guy a decade ago that I could wear headphones and not be even slightly concerned. That’s just not the case anymore.

The various cyber attacks by the CIA done with the “you can’t prove it was us” Anonymous cover.

I still believe 9/11 was an inside job or at least high level officials, including Bush, were aware it was going to happen

Crazy talk. This was absolutely not a widely held opinion.

The Life Aquatic. I just absolutely adore the sad, disappointed and fragile characters. Fuckin hilarious!

As a pineapple on pizza enjoyer I am not gonna judge, taste is subjective so no one but you decides what goes on your food. Honestly, this is how new recipes are made. If no one tried new variations then we wouldn’t have most of our favorites!

L5-S1 disc protrusion.

Happened 4 years ago. Constant pain 24/7, unbearably so when I stand. Spent a year unable to walk, got surgery, could stand/walk for a hour-ish these last few years but had a reinjruy when I pushed myself. Now even with drugs the lowest my pain gets is a 5, walking to bathroom gets me to 9. Picking up my wheelchair on monday, hoping for a new surgery but idk. Just trying to cope day by day now.

So, yeah. Here’s hoping your injury isn’t as bad. ♥

above average salary because I put the effort in

And those who doesn’t have a comfortable life must not put the effort in? The unhoused, the disabled, those with medical debt, the people who make below average salary. Say, the minimum wage families living out of their car, just aren’t trying hard enough?

Eh. You’re allowed to disagree, and I wasn’t even born when those movies came out so I didn’t really experince it as a cultural moment.But personally I don’t find 'em that fun or interesting. I’ve watched primer at least half a dozen times, but I’ll never choose to watch Back again.

The only time travel movie i would describe as “realistic”. One of my favorite movies overall.

“Anywhere is a bathroom if you are drunk enough.”

-an old roommate

He was fun, but, uh, yeah. He definitely had a drinking problem. Drank on the job, at work, to fall asleep, to relax, when he was nervous, when he was happy. Not sure if he ever put this in to pratice but I wouldn’t doubt it at all.

I saw Chappie for the first time last week and was moderately devastated to find out there isn’t going to be sequels. It had so much style, humor and personality!

A woke mob is literally every mob. Sleeping people just sorta lie there.

I enjoy reading unreliable narrators, and so while you’re totally correct. Holden is nothing more than an angsty privileged teenager who is angry at the world. That’s what made the book fun for me, at a certain point his self serving lies and his cringe attempts to act like an adult are just funny.

I’ve found it’s a good litnus test for people, just like Fight Club or Rick and Morty. You’re absolutely allowed to like these pieces, but if you think those charcters are admiral than it’s a super duper red flag.

I’m a woman and this is pretty close to my entire life. After suffering a dog attack I can’t really walk anymore and it’s a struggle to do a lot of basic household tasks. I too was also pretty skeptical I would ever find a relationship, but it’s been over two years with my girlfriend and she is wonderfully supportive. We divide up house work based around what I can do and is always checking in if I’m feeling up to doing something.

All I’m saying is you can’t give up hope. Women exist who are okay with our situations, you’ll find her sooner or later. :)

😂

I do not. Heck, the thread is about asking the other sex, I wouldn’t have answered if I was a dude.

Personally, I think you’re really close to the answer but with an important distinction. The great filter is an hyper aggressive species that does not want to deal with a potential cold war with a different species with technology as advanced as their own. They already launched their doomsday armageddon weapon at us after detecting our existence, probably from something like our farthest satille, Voyager 1.

It could take generations for the bomb heading to our sun or stealth asteroid heading directly for us to actually connect. But it’s arguably in their best interest not to even chance us becoming militarily on par with them.

Statistically there is alien life out there somewhere, and whichever one got to interplanetary weapons first would have everything to lose by allowing an equal to exist.

My question for you is, why do you want a female perspective on this? Idk, doesn’t seem like something that gender would effect.
