Believe it or not, I'd never heard of Shia LaBeouf until this song.

I'mma get get get you drunk.

You know I love you long time, anon.

Probably, though. I feel pretty neutral about people until I know them well, but I can get along with just about anybody.
I'm well-liked by old ladies and mentally ill homeless people for some reason. Animals follow me around. Babies always smile at me, or maybe it's gas. Idk.

THIS, thank you. I hate that kind of angst-in-a-can writing, just so Dean or Sam or *both* can be made into emotionally unstable woobies. Blech.

Eeee, thanks anon! <3

I was born in 1991 and I…kind of disagree.

I know I have issues with eating. I've lost over 25 pounds in the past year (went from 142 to 117.2 lbs at 5'2").

I'm healthy now…

But I also obsessively count my calories and I induce vomiting in panic whenever I stress out that I've gone over my calorie limit. I look at all the other girls on my campus obsessively and compare how thin I am to them and always find myself wanting.

I look up celebrity weights and heights to check their BMIs and compare it to my own. I'm still trying to get under 115 because it kills me that Zoe Saldana weighs that much when she's a full 5 inches taller than me.

I always felt like a piece of shit for being heavier (at my heaviest I was 157 lbs) and I'm slimmer now, but I've never felt ashamed of my lower weight. Ever. I don't even think that kind of talk applies to me because I just want to get smaller (aiming for sub-110). And when people here talk about how much they weigh and how easy it is for them or how they're naturally skinny, it kills me inside. It really does.

I wish. I'm 39 this year and the difference in attitudes between people under 25 and those over 30 is staggering. It's kinda split with the 25-30 crowd but the under 25s really seem to think "Fat is beautiful! Shame that skinny woman!" Maybe it's just a fandom thing? That's my primary exposure to young people. I can't relate to their attitudes and think most are dangerously stupid, so I avoid them in real life.

Potentially saving people and helping the relatives of the victims! Also, really cool chemical reactions.

I don't think people are wrong when they say that many who choose forensics-related professions feel the need to save someone. It's banal, but... yes. It is often one of the main initial motivators.

Vikings were, contrary to popular beliefs, super clean (for Europeans in their time period) and used to bathe once a week on Saturdays* and cleaned their faces every morning. Personal grooming tools are some of the most commonly found items in burial mounds. Some also bleached their hair blonde.

*Those settled in England at least.

Very true. Although, Harry and Ron were definitely on the lazy side. I mean, Harry even after he knew the prophecy and knew what was at stake didn't seem to focus on learning what he had to at all. Sometimes I really wanted to smack the two of them. And I imagine a world where Hermione wasn't Harry's friend and in that world he ends up dead very quickly.

How did you choose your major?

One can never be too careful with those things. I'm glad you're keeping your work reputation safe.

I dunno mustaches are kinda in rn

Ehhh It's not quite dead yet.

There are questions here, subjective and objective, about the nature of evil and redemption, but in this day and age of few believers, what do these words even mean?

How far must a man fall down a well before the stink he becomes mired in oozes out of his pores forever, and indeed am I being sexist by referring to him as a man?

Will we see the stars in our lovers' eyes, even when projected only through our naive hopes and dreams of fluffy angels' wings?

The clouds lift my spirit with the hope of a new dawn, but dark is the night before us, my friends, and few are the lantern-bearing scarecrows of the dawn.

I'm at the Carrie fisher panel, hoping to get into Shatner. Anyone with burning questions for either? No guarantees, but i can try!

Incorrect. Fury 325 at Carowinds, 325 feet (99m).
To be fair, it did open last saturday.

Such as any man with facial hair who will not stop going on about how awesome / classy / manly his face hair is.

Seriously, go onto any place online with a high male contingent and say something not totally positive about facial hair, and hear the defensive and often misogynistic shit they spout.

no but really? I'm serious.

This is exactly the answer I was hoping for. /goes for the Glenlivet

You know. I like TNG, but I like TOS, DS9 and VOY better.

The fruit of an Persea americana

Is thinshaming actually the norm? I'd say it's certainly something that's a problem (any kind of bodyshaming is, really), but I'm not sure that it's more common than fatshaming. And I think the pushback against the latter, as well as the apparent growing acceptance of being overweight, has more to do with a greater number of people being overweight and less to do with the ability of people to resist certain messages. The rise in obesity rates doesn't necessarily track to people no longer valuing a certain body type.

All of that said, around half (and I recall coming across a study that found the number to be upwards of 60%. Most of what I've seen tends toward the lower figure, though, so I'm going with that) of elementary-aged girls report concerns over their weight and body type (namely, that they're "too fat"), and compare themselves unfavorably to the women they see in magazines and on TV/in movies. The cycle of dieting starts with girls as young as age 9. Also, since the late aughts, the prevalence of eating disorders in teenage girls has increased. Despite what may be some trends in the right direction, girls are receiving a certain set of messages about how they should look, and many of them are taking it to heart.

Damn.
I suppose the real question is, do you fly into the chasm for an incorrect answer, or for hesitation/not answering?

Ah. I avoid places with high male contingents, so I'll opt for taking your word for it.
