I just watched a woman in emergency management give a class in a room with busted A/C while she was experiencing a menopause hot flash that had her hair soaked with sweat.
Sick to death of arguments that because women have feelings, they can't be as or more capable. She might have sweat on every surface of her body, but that woman has ice in her veins.
I love that about black. It goes from chic and classy, to making-a-statement. You have to try and scrape it off and leave big, bare patches to really make it look less cool.
I get what you're going for but this kind of discourse is part of the problem.
Any time someone says "I'm having a problem because x!" Someone shows up to say, "OTHER people have that problem!" This is not helpful. Adding especially women at the end didn't negate the whataboutism you started with. No disrespect just... exhausting.
It feels like we could make a compelling chart a person can roll on to determine which of these things they'll be bad at, and which they'll be good at.
This is my hourly reminder that common knowledge was that girls "don't get ADHD" until fairly recently, so all the symptoms we developed trying to mask or as a result of abuse from our behaviors can often be identified first.
Which is why my treatment resistant major depressive disorder, which ruined my young suicidal life from age 9 to 34, has almost entirely resolved as a result of treating my ADHD.
I apologize if you've seen me say it before, but Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors can't work if there's no Seratonin to Inhibit!! SSRIs can't RI if there's no S!
This was my instinct with that submarine fiasco. Calls a man he's never seen or talked to a pedophile? First thing? Gotta be a reason that word was in his mind.
It's just like any other system of belief. You can sit around praying for something, or you can cast more effective hexes, such as "hit this guy with my car," or "actually give him poison."
Lets hope all these internet witches don't learn the power of direct action real magic.
I get what you're going for, but maybe work on the wording? Because my immediate thought was, alright, you lay on the ground and I'll drop a nuclear bomb, and let's see which was more destructive.
My favorite move there when someone points out thing that contradict is to say, "Yes. That's what you were told." Imply there's something mysterious to uncover about why those facts don't gel.
Alternatively: "I'm giving you the real history. That's not what your character knows to be true!"

Did you not read the article that was attached? Multiple outlets in Philadelphia reported this incident.
