Crux brings up a good point though in that people will always find alternate ways of insulting and demeaning other people. And also that "bossy" as an insult is pretty innocuous when compared with "cunt", "bitch", "slut", or "whore", or even just "nag". I don't think I've met all that many...

I think this lady's heart is in the right place in terms of wanting to make more young girls feel safer and more encouraged to speak up, but... I really don't think banning a word is gonna do anything. How do you even "ban" a word, anyway? Just tell people not to say it? People swear all the...

We've been stuck in Pryce's gym since before I left for work, and now I'm home, so that's been... 8hrs+? Also, the anarchy people seem to have the unsettling goal of releasing the Gator... I support anarchy in general, but we need to #SaveTheGator !!!

Is that a Toyger?!?!?! :D Such a pretty kitty :3 :3 :3

ahahahahhahahahahahahaha this is just... gold. I am seriously losing it right now. Like, what the fuck were you even thinking? Does your mom know you were in jail? How did she react? And what about the rest of your family? Why would they give prisoners pencils but not spoons? Pencils are...

I made Madeleines today!! They turned out quite nicely, if I do say so myself ^_^ They are the perfect texture. I still need to tweak the amount of vanilla extract I put in, since this recipe turned out less vanilla-y than I wanted, but that's okay! They are still delicious! I'm going to be...

I'm really bored right now, so here are some (god-awful) amino acid jokes. What is a pirate's favorite amino acid? arrrrrginine What is a snake's favorite amino acid? hissstidine What is an amino acid's favorite time of day? 3:09 (threonine) What is Sir Mix-A-Lot's favorite amino acid...

Um, not necessarily...? The two carbons in the molecule are connected by a single bond and they are thus free to rotate about that bond, so the amino group and the two hydrogens that are attached to the carbon atom are free to rotate and would probably spend most of their time not being coplanar...

Glutamate because it's also the most common excitatory neurotransmitter!!! Runner up is tryptophan because it's a precursor to serotonin (5-hydroxytryptophan). Yay amino acids! I am such a fucking nerd

Are you a freshman? I only ask because your thought processes sound a lot like the way mine were my freshman year of college. For me, freshman year was pretty much just as bad as high school, if not worse. There were lots of cliques on my floor in my dorm, a very strong emphasis on social...

^Except that there are a TON of private universities in the same general geographic region as the Ivies that aren't actually part of the Ivy League. And Wikipedia backs up the assertion that they're named for the sports conference. -- Back on topic: college acceptances are a crapshoot. One of...

I love kitties!!! They are pretty much my favorite animal ^_^ OK so I'm gonna post the story of my kitty in hide tags because the pictures are kinda huge. This is Iolanthe (EYE-oh-LANTH-ee), or Yo-Yo for short. I got her at a shelter last January. I was a volunteer there, and she was just...

It depends, really. If, in a few months, you two become closer and she seems to be flirting with you more, go for it! The worst that can happen is that she'll say no. If nothing changes, or if she keeps telling you about other guys she likes, or otherwise drops hints that she's not into you...

I signed it and shared it on Facebook. Hopefully if enough people sign it, these guys will realize it's not okay to destroy the Great Barrier Reef. I am more than a little bit cynical though, but that could be because I'm from the US where all the politicians are like, "Drill, baby, drill!"...

How do you activate the Looker Bureau event thing? I've beaten the E4 and am in Lumiose now. I've gone to Rouge Plaza, and... nothing... I've heard there's a holo caster message when the event has been triggered but I haven't gotten it yet. Help?

Is there any way (breeding, tutor, level-up, tm) for Garchomp to learn Stealth Rock this gen? Or do I just have to wait to transfer one via Pokemon Bank (i'd rather not have to do that)?

There are so many amazing places in this game. Some of my favorite yet!!! Lumiose City is amazing with all the shops and boulevards and cafes and everything! I actually still legitimately get lost there, even though I've been playing for awhile now. So it really does feel like a big city! I...

I've always wanted to see a Water/Fire or Fire/Grass. The contradictory nature of those types to each other is very intriguing, and I'd love to see what Game Freak could come up with. Water/Fire could be some sort of steam or maybe an oil spill on fire. Fire/Grass could be anything from a...

...you go to JHU and call it "John Hopkins"?!?! As a fellow jhu student (senior), I think that should get you expelled. It's fucking Johnsssss Hopkins, bitch. I'm a senior neuroscience major who has fulfilled her premed reqs already, so I mainly "live" at the medical campus doing research. I'm...

Day 24: What is the cutest Pokémon? This is the most difficult question ever since there are so many adorable Pokemon. I am a crazy cat lady by nature, so naturally I will be relatively biased in favor of Pokemon that resemble kitties ^_^ Skitty is super adorable and captures the idea of a...
