Please don't give your baby substance. That is illegal and dangerous to the child's health. Give them sustenance instead. ;-)

My wife knows my wishes: dig a hole, toss me in, bury me with a young oak tree on top. Done.

Yep. Being family counts for nothing if that family is toxic.

When I was a kid tipping was meant only for for waiters/waitresses and petrol attendants (we don't 'pump our own gas' - now it's drivers, delivery peers, shop assistants, hair dressing assistants, literally any assistant, any service provider, and their mom. It's crazy. I can't afford to tip everyone damn.

I _think_ these are still largely confined to the US - let's just hope it stays that way.

Boobs seem to be more of a taboo in America than anywhere else, which is ironic for the country with the world's biggest porn industry.

This. This is the one that is absolutely crazy to me. Somehow they managed to brainwash millions of people into thinking it's ok, or even "better". No, leave them babies alone, weirdos.

i wear men’s jeans for that reason. and that my legs are really long and they’re comfortable for me sooooo

Let me fix that - Women's trousers don't have *real* pockets

Yes! And that sizing is so wildly different based on brand.

Most women's clothing that comes without adequate pockets were/are both designed and created by....women. This depends entirely on where you get your clothes, though. All of my jeans, pants, shorts, even some skirts, have pockets (and not tiny ones). People buy the clothing without adequate pockets, then complain about not having pockets, lol. Well, buy stuff that has them, stop buying the stuff that doesn't and the people who make and design that c**p will stop. Excluding expensive designers who don't care one iota about function or how many people buy their stuff, lol. They go for the whole idea of "less purchases equals exclusivity equals higher cost equals more popular equals we're the best"...it's weird.

Or they're too tiny hold anything but lint.

My dad asked me why I never put my phone in my pocket and I told him I couldn't even fit half my hand in them, much less a cell phone.

How can this be explained by anything but women not choosing to buy clothing with pockets? It would stand to reason that if women really chose function over form, the clothing items that had pockets would always be sold out, and the industry would respond, no?

i find it too uncomfortable to put everything that i would carry in my purse into pockets, and i am a minimalist when it comes to what i carry in my purse. too many weird and uncomfortable bulges in my jeans. purses just make more sense to me.

Or dresses, or skirts - they need to sell us those handbags!

Ladies stop buying ladies pants. I promise you will look just as good in mens jeans and they have pockets.

Women's clothing generally doesn't have proper functioning pockets because otherwise, we would buy handbags if we had pockets?

I still don't understand why a woman hasn't made a clothing line comprised of only clothes that have usable pockets. Call it "Pocketz" or something. I mean seriously, you have nobody to blame but yourselves at this point 🤷🏼‍♂️

That's on you women. Bad fashion designs are on the designer but bad fashion designs continuing to be a popular thing is because consumers purchase them. I guarantee you if women went one year not buying anything without pockets, fashion designers would be "INSPIRED" to create DARING new designs with pockets.

They don't have as many responsibilities. Therefore less pockets.

Not just the US. Anywhere that venerates their flag in that way is deeply suspicious and there are many much worse offenders than them.

It can be quite romantic and memorable. But if you're going to go big, you DEFINITELY need to know how your partner will respond beforehand to save yourself from being shot down on the spot because of embarassment.

Welcome to the shïtshow. Make good choices and try to enjoy it.

SO happy this isnt the case in finland

It is quite acceptable to see pple getting gunned down or stabbed to death, but show one female nipple and the movie is for 16 years and older cause apperantly kids minds are too frail to deal with that.

It's about intent and consent. In a bikini you're intending to be outside and consenting to be seen in that manner of dress. Bras, besides sports bras, are generally worn with the intent of not being seen, and unless the wearer reveals it themselves, they are not consenting to be seen in that article of clothing.

It's a terrible system.

I worked in a number of Government & private sector organisations & the number of people working considerably more hours than 40 was totally surprising

Shaving or not shaving should be a personal choice and it's none of anybody else's business.

But what if we abuse our right to education and get smart and realize we are governed by greedy goblins?!

Women can't show nippels, because MEN could get "inpure thoughts", according to fundamentalist "Christian" leaders. They like to spout their disapproval all over the internet, which is full of pørn. And the most watched pørn in the US is GAY pørn...

Good for you on growing as a person! You are completely right :)

my mom used to make me do this and then i made it VERY clear that i hate hugging anyone, even my own parents. i have a few exceptions, like my BEST friend but other than that absolutely not. thank you, but don’t touch me!

There is nothing wrong with asking a relative if they plan to have children. Also nothing wrong with said relative choosing to demure or say they have not decided. The problem IMO is when the person asking tries to pressure them into the choice they want to hear.

My entire wedding, including my dress and the marriage license was less than $600 CAD. Invest in the marriage not the wedding.

I am no one's property.

I like it, it's sweet. I moved to another country by myself and the people I thought were friends never visited or anything. My best friend (not nearby at all) facetimes me with her kid and sing me happy birthday, then her husband pops his head in and says happy birthday. I truly felt love when they did that and I haven't felt that in a long while. To respond to other commenters: it's not always about being the center of attention.

i think fireworks should be illegal... it's noise pollution. air pollution. ocean pollution. fire danger. extremely expensive. causes terror in all animals... it's outdated and ridiculous. what's wrong with an incredibly fantastic laser show in the sky?

Also pretty country specific, here in the Netherlands it's ok to swear on radio/tv. Not that we do it all the time, it's still considered a little crude or impolite. But there's no outrage when someone lets slip a heartfelt f-ck 😂

I have a medical condition called lipoedema, which means that although I'm not overweight going by BMI, my legs are disproportionately large compared to the rest of me. I can guarantee that a total stranger will comment on it about 50% of the time I'm out and about. Its usually in the supermarket, and its usually some ignorant old woman telling me my ankles are swollen, or asking me directly about it, or making a rude comment about me needing to lose weight so my legs aren't so fat. What makes people think a rude comment about someone's appearance will be welcome? Do they think before opening their ignorant mouths? The next old biddy who comments is getting shoved in the freezer with the fish fingers.

Ex Hotelier and Michelin Chef here ; If any of my staff (or me, when I was training) treated a lone diner with anything less than the utmost courtesy and kindness, they would have (and have) been taken to one side and told the error of their ways. For example, I used to have a delightful chap used to come in probably once a month with his wife for a couple of years, then started coming in by himself as his Wife had died of Cancer ; one of my new waiters made a comment along the lines of 'what a sad old git, coming in by himself ...etc'. My Sous Chef made him see the error of his ways (basically gave him a light thumping) and he left the next day. The elderly gentleman ate there regularly for the next 3 years before succumbing to Alzheimers.
