To the contrary we don't diagnose teenagers with personality disorders because all teenagers have personality disorders. BPD manifests early and mellows (not that I would date anyone of any age with it).
Modern society creates anxiety in males and females, its theoretically manageable and curable.

I found this extremely refreshing. The central example of rape is "woman was minding her own business when someone broke into her house and forced her". It is incredible how little of what gets called "rape" actually fits that category, and can be better described as "woman cruising for a dicking regrets the dicking come next morning". It is the worst argument in the world, enshrined into our legal code.
I find this a deeply icky way to generalize date rape involving intoxicants or sex with young teenagers.

I find your comment confusing. You disliked sexy teenage movies because you were a teenager not having sex?

MtFs commit crimes at the same rate as other men (and sex crimes at 5-6 times the rate).
I'd rather be in a sketchy womens bathroom with any randomly chosen male rather than one that deliberately wanted to be there.

Wow is about half women, although the raiding scene used to be more like 25% (I haven't raided since 2016, no idea about now).

Played a shaman in hardcore to 8 last week, put my nose out of joint, now I'm leveling up a ret paladin of all things in cata because I like MOP so I might want to play when that comes out. No interest in actually playing the cata dungeons or raids.
I dislike that they don't have bc and wrath servers, I don't like vanilla as much. I guess I have a private server to turn to if I need a wrath fix but I couldn't get their BC version working when I tried last year.

If I remember correctly, magnitude is actually half of reality, not more than reality. (its been at least 15 years since I read the abstracts of the research from the 60s? 70s?).
For example, if the average person guesses that a black man is twice as likely to go to jail as a white man (stereotype), the reality would be that he was 4 times as likely. The gist was that we actually understereotype, that a pattern has to be really obvious to become a stereotype. But this research became taboo a long time ago and I haven't seen anything recent.

I don't think delivery should be a percentage. If I order from some place expensive or some place cheap, it is the drive where they make the effort, not the price of the food. I also come down to the car and they don't have to park and find me, which is in other locations worth another buck or two.

Most vitamins are much more dense and bioavailable in animal products than vegetable products. Exception being Vit C, which possibly carnivores don't need. Also fiber.

Clarification: In this metaphor is a woman having your child the chef and you are the... eater of the baby?

Its not an amazing poem but definitely a poem, clearly understood as such.
I have some nitpicks, the last stanza is terrible and there are some poor other lines, I don't like "while gaudier prints took on the grime and stains of daily wear" not sure how I'd rewrite it (remove the "on" or a more dramatic surgery).
Yes, older poetry has structure and rhythm as well as words, and it is fine to prefer a clear rhyme, a clever structure to this, but modern poetry is still poetry. More about mood and image than language play.

Lacking experience is a pretty big lacking. I would add lacking experience AND JUDGEMENT, though (see anyone that takes on 6 figures of debt for an art history degree). The real question is was it easier for a 16 year old to be an adult in previous centuries because mostly you were able to learn all the things growing up in your village that you needed to know as an adult then? Is it only modern complex society that requires more time to learn enough to not fuck up?

That family! Lots of chimerism. Like their embryos are porous and bad at maintaining integrity.

I'd dare call myself a 7/10 on a genuine gaussian curve, i.e 70th percentile for Indian men.
Are you only competing with other indian men? I thought you were in the UK for some reason.
The IOC didn't test him. The IBA did. They are trying very hard to not get sued for revealing sensitive medical information.
Neither of the XY competitors even pretend to live as women.
