  “Legs” is right there in the name

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not about lying down, it’s about de-escalating.

  That can be a touchy subject, so a little bit of humility helps prevent hurt feelings.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it sexist to say "I've never worn a wet dress before"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, this exactly. She has context in mind that she didn’t communicate with you. She may not realize you don’t know her context.

  Best thing is to say something like, “I’m sorry for saying the thing you said was sexist. I’ll try to avoid making sexist remarks. But I’m not sure what was sexist about it, and I want to learn why so that I don’t do it again.”

  Whether or not you think you owe her an apology, starting like that may help prevent her from getting defensive. That way, you can have a clearer conversation about it.

  Whether or not it was actually sexist, she clearly had a reason for believing it was. And, agree or not, the reason is real to her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it called eating ass if you don't actually eat it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because “sucking ass” already means something else.

  Either way, as long as it’s painted in stripes. It has to be stripes, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two steam VR game keys up for grabs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hear blue is the fastest

  Yeah, well, I could call my dick the Magnum Opus but that wouldn’t make it two feet long.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the idea of “life” and “intelligent life” is all relative?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Once you can define the word “prize,” we can discuss whether or not you receive one - or, in fact, if receiving one is even possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if the idea of “life” and “intelligent life” is all relative?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Congratulations, you have discovered philosophy.

  Sir, this is shower thoughts, not troll posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(i feel really stupid asking, but what the hell!) could i be of french descent?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In that case, you could be from france, you could be the descendant of people who had emigrated away from france, or you could be related to people who have never had anything to do with friends but possess similar genetic markers to people who come from parts of France. Or, none of the above! That’s the fun part about genetics, it by itself is only a small piece of the puzzle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you read and understand this passage?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Aha, I see, irony.

  By “every action” you mean “no again.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is this specific kind of sheet called?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  On second look, also no.

  Plumbing warehouses must be the wealthiest businesses in the world.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He is not.

  A tariff is a tax that increases the price of imported goods.

  Tariffs are used to push people toward domestic alternatives to imported goods.

  However, today, there are no domestic alternatives to most important goods.

  So, all it’s doing is increasing the burden on the average person.

  Companies are not going to invest in domestic production. They are going to spend that money lobbying to have tarriffs removed. Because guess what? Once tariffs go away, consumer prices are not going to go back to what they used to be. Instead, megacorps are going to pocket the difference as profit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨am i insane?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That does sound like potential bipolar disorder.

  Either way, there are medications that should be able to help with your symptoms.

  Good luck!
