I think that’s the best attitude to have. Remember this, too: a little flexibility now might be painful, but it helps ensure that he’ll appreciate instead of resent you later on. His friends will like you, too, because you respect boundaries. I wish you the best!

Anything pro-suicide

Yeah, because at least they’re outside and doing something social, instead of being a hermit like me.

I’ve lived in America all my life. Thank you for this interesting outside perspective. I never would have guessed that the ADA is held in such high regard!

Sometimes, I see a quality discussion between principled people who care deeply about the issues. They both want to do what’s best, but simply disagree on what “best” is.

Their opinions can be so far apart, though, that they’re unable to even comprehend the other position.

At least it contains the word “shamed”. Shaming someone is usually seen as unfair and judgmental.

Absurdist inside jokes with no explanation.

Idiotic opinions, and the people who loudly and enthusiastically share them.

Edit: I am definitely including myself lol

This version of The Golden Compass takes some serious liberties.

It’s not a matter of how he grips it; it’s a simple question of weight ratios!

I completely agree with everyone who’s told you to do what you love. I do have a question for you to consider, though: is sculpting really the problem, or is it the academic environment (with all the rules, pressure, judgement etc. that you’re dealing with). Classes can suck the joy out of anything.

I don’t want to discourage you from changing your path; I just want you to be sure that you’re being honest with yourself.

Living in denial is easy to continue doing and widely encouraged, while being very hard to overcome.

If you only look at it from that angle, yeah. I bet the next generation of Anonymous is growing right now, though.

When I saw the title, my first reaction was to talk it out and explain your feelings to her. Once I read the rest, though, I changed my mind.

This is shaming and bullying. Sex is also a huge no-no. A supervisor should know better. HR is probably your best option.

I know that for years it’s been popular to say things like “HR exists to protect the company, not you.” In many cases, that’s still true. However, companies (and society in general) have become more sympathetic to issues like yours. They’d rather discipline people like her than deal with the multimillion dollar settlements that people like her cause.

I hope they are. I just don’t trust corporations/governments to take the major and expensive steps required before it’s too late, and I have a hard time seeing past that. Individuals can only do so much.

I don’t have kids of my own, and don’t plan to. I often wonder what kind of world my sisters children will grow up in.

People don’t think pot is addictive because it’s not chemically addictive, like nicotine or alcohol are. Those things actually change your body chemistry, and your system becomes reliant on them.

Pot doesn’t do that, but it can definitely be psychologically addictive . Virtually anything can be psychologically addictive, like video games or watching TV. If you feel the need to take a few bong hits every hour of every day, or if your desire to get high interferes with your responsibilities, then yeah, you’re probably psychologically addicted. Get help.

Getting wasted every once in a while is probably okay, though. People need to make sure they’re not like one of those idiots I knew in college, who insisted they drove better when high. They didn’t, and neither does anyone else.
