Is this lasagna?

At the very least, there needs to be some serious audits of the power structures of Starfleet and the Federation. So many evil admirals...

To be fair, this comic isn't just about abortion. It could also apply to things like "modesty" laws in places like Iran.

It doesn't matter what the ice cream represents. If the argument for a law is wholly religious in nature, then it is unjust.

Might subcategorize, like "Frankensteinian irony."

That, or she should be named "Mary" instead, I guess.

Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.

It's about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.

Confidence? Not so much. But it's less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.

In short, my thought process goes like this:

  • Approaching women can make them uncomfortable.
  • I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
  • Therefore, I don't approach women.

I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that's a shit show unless you're in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I've been single 10+ years.

I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

What else do people expect you to comment? Like...

Neat.

Or...

Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

?

What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details... seems fair to me.

Currently somewhere around 10 years single.

I struggle with social cues, anxiety, etc.

It's lonely.

You picked two random days, compared their active user counts, and concluded that it must indicate a continuous trend.

Yesterday, it was 60°F out. Today it's 30°F out. Clearly, by next week, everyone in my town will be dead by freezing.

Experts struggle with statistics. Laymen, doubly so.

EDIT:

Also, that's only a difference of 7%, so it's not even that drastic.

EDIT2:

Also also, what does any of this have to do with your post being removed? What was the post? Did the mod/admin give you a reason for removal?
