    Serious US Election Thread (read post #2014)

    With all due respect, I think you missed the point of my post. The post was never intended to say that Hillary is without fault. The point was that you brought up Hillary's honesty as a character issue. However, politfact rates her as fundamentally honest (in contrast to Trump, who I believe...

    Serious US Election Thread (read post #2014)

    Without looking into the others, I remember reading something on politifiact about this. Most of the quotes from the video evidence a change in position, not due to elections, but due to growing and acquiring new information and changing your views to reflect this. True, some of the quotes...

    Coming Out (about mons)

    I'm very up front about playing pokemon with my friends, acquaintances, professors, I could go on. Most people I've told think nothing of it. Some ask the question "why?" And, I tell them that I enjoy the strategy element that is involved. Nobody has shunned me for it, and I'm 26 and going into...

    Adult Life

    Junior hit a lot of the nail on the head. The only think I can really think to add is not let your new freedoms go to your head: you're 18 and pretty new to "being an adult." And, unfortunately, parts of the brain that governs prudent decision making is still developing. Nonetheless, if you...

    Serious LGBTQ

    I agree with everything else you said, but I'm in the camp that thinks gay marriage was a good first goal. It does benefit transsexuals because so much of the narrative is "r they menz or wommins???" At least in states with gay marriage, this debate is largely moot. The other side of this is...

    As for queer films, I've always liked But I'm a Cheerleader. So sweet. Makes me cry every time.

    I don't think you're "stringing her along" by not coming out. Maybe if you're like going to the bar, doing body shots or something overtly sexual of that nature, but not by just being her friend and talking. I wouldn't worry about coming out unless she makes a move. Or if you really want to let...

    Sports Pro Wrestling Discussion Thread

    I'm beating a dead horse, but after a week to think about everything, I think WWE got it right with ending the streak. I was initially against it, like, "let Taker go off with a perfect record, he earned it being in the company for 25 years." But, after I watched the Heyman segment on Raw, I'm...

    Th!nkPi, most transgendered individuals do not just flip names and pronouns for shits and giggles. I'm sure there are some out there, thanks to the explosion of trans-species, trans-ethnic, trans-fat fads on tumblr. But, I have never met a transperson who flippantly de-transitioned. I can only...

    Alcohol taboo?

    One girl in my sixth grade class did her science fair on alcohol fermentation in apple juice. She was inspired because the school cafeteria gave us bad apple juice, which apparently fermented (I don't know the exact scientific process of fermentation). She wound up getting reprimanded hard at...

    As for "what women want" I think we should agree to disagree. Two women have told you to the contrary, and it appears you'll remain intransigent on this issue. And also, I don't buy that "biological children" point. To me, everyone that makes it seems to make it as a "gotcha, (BAN ME PLEASE)s can't...

    Age of kings said everything I was thinking, just smarter. The idea of "maleness" and this "alpha-beta" dichotomy that some guys get on is just silly (not saying Chou in particular, but I've seen it here). The guys I find most attractive, and other women I talk to, aren't the ones who turn the...

    Does anybody else really want kids?

    Coming from your exact position, I did think about the same thing. I was also pressured to do the same thing by my parents, but didn't. I felt that if I did go that route (saving sperm) then I would have children who I may need to explain myself to. Further, the idea of being a child's...

    Does anybody else really want kids?

    I'm in the same situation as Shinryu. I have a 22 year old little brother with a daughter. I enjoy caring for her (and friend's kids as well). I would love a child of my own one day, but I want to get my shit situated and have a little fun while I'm young.

    Bad Omens

    For the love of God, please don't go to law school. Which would require you to take the LSAT, which is graded on a scale of 120 to 180.

    Yeah, I don't think she's implying transphobia as much as just observing that what she just experienced is something a cisperson would almost never experience. I can attest that I had a similar problem (I waited a while to change my license and name) and got weird looks quite often when I'd go...

    I come from a traditional background socially, politically, and religiously. Not to derail or offend such points of view, but yeah. Socially, my family still see women as inferior to men and LGBT issues as "weird fetishes." Politically, they tend to follow Glenn Beck and take hard right stances...

    Wow, it has been a long time since I've made a Smogon post, but this thread piques my interest. I used to be somewhat active here a while back, but then kind of fell off the face of the Earth, because well, I came out. A little over three years ago, I tried not to let anything on, but I was...
