In addition to what’s already been said, he was also accused (by a former body guard) of grooming Usher :(

Based on everything I’ve heard , that claim doesn’t exactly sound far-fetched.

Unlimited carrying capacity

Assume that a woman isn’t just a man with different bits.

Emotional intelligence, empathy, and maturity; knowing when it is more beneficial to be gentle or to just observe/remain quiet; understanding how to take advantage of others’ gender-based assumptions/underestimation; and a deep solidarity with other women.

Great advice. I’ve been using flossers lately because of a broken shoulder, and I can definitely tell that the quality of my flossing is lower than it is with regular floss. It’s also harder to be gentle.

You’re “not sure” that harassment and… ASSAULT… aren’t relevant enough to the subject of violence against women? lol k.

You think men who do that kind of shit aren’t significantly more likely to kill us? Fuck, I’d love it if I could go through life being that ignorant and naive.

Edit: typo

You can tell enough to know whether they’re safe to be around.

lol. like I said… really fucking naive.

I imagine it can be especially isolating to be a trans-masculine person… possibly even more than being a trans-feminine person.

I really hope you have people in your life who you feel fully comfortable hanging and talking with! I’m sure that those women appreciate your support.

Women are very likely to be sexually harassed or assaulted at least once in their lifetime. If it were unlikely, calling it “fear mongering” would actually make at least a little sense.

I’ve been assaulted once and harassed multiple times, and most people wouldn’t even consider me to be conventionally attractive. I know many women who have faced much worse than I, despite the fact that I’m kind of antisocial.

I don’t need the news or a comic to tell me I’m in danger.

Why would you need to know someone to judge their character quickly.

Wow, you’re so naive, if you aren’t a troll. You seriously think you can know a person from just a few moments of interaction? So many people are great at masking their true thoughts and intentions.

Ted Bundy was known to be charming and charismatic… but this is by no means limited to serial killers. All kinds of people put on a facade every single day. Oftentimes it’s not even malicious.

You don’t always know who a person truly is, even if you THINK you know them. Women will get into relationships with men who seem lovely at first, and then they turn abusive as soon as they get married because they believe they’ve had her tied down enough so she won’t leave. You hear from friends, family, neighbors of murderers and abusers say that they had no idea of that person’s dark behavior.

Say you have a jar full of candy that you’d like a piece of, but you know that there are a handful of pieces in the jar that will poison and kill you. There’s no way to know which is which. Would you not be wary, even though you know that most of them are probably fine?

You’re also forgetting about (or ignoring) the kinds of men that look away when their friends or family do/say things to women that aren’t ok.

Maybe those men aren’t openly misogynistic, and maybe they would never actively harm a woman themselves, but they’re also unsafe for us to be around when they do nothing to stop or object to their peers’ behavior. Those kinds of men are even more common than abusers. I certainly wouldn’t want to be with anyone like that, even if I knew with 100% certainty that they would never lay a hand on me.

Kidney stones can benefit from listening to music too, y’know :/

On Thanksgiving, my aunt boils broccoli and potatoes and serves them totally unseasoned. Not even salt. 😢

It’s one of many reasons why I haven’t gone in years.

When you could just as easily eat NOTHING and have roughly the same nutritional value

I’m no nutritionist, but that seems incorrect based on my cursory Google search. lol

I actually like canned green beans slightly more than fresh or frozen. It has something to do with the texture, but idk what exactly. Though imo most veggies are definitely better fresh, for some reason I really enjoy canned peas too (I know I’m a weirdo).

at this point it’s part of the tapestry of my childhood.

Mine too. I haven’t read them in a long time because of obvious reasons, but a part of me still wants to. I was truly obsessed with them for several years as a kid.

There are countless full-time jobs that pay so little that it is practically impossible to “live within your means”, at least unless you have multiple jobs or still live with your parents.

Unfortunately, yes. My relationship with food in particular has always been kind of messy since I was a kid, especially when I’m going through an especially difficult time mental health-wise. But I try to be mindful of that, and eat healthily for the most part.

If I feel like I’ve overeaten that day/the past few days, I can definitely feel pretty guilty. But IMO, most things are fine in moderation. Food is a crucial and wonderful part of life, and I’m uninterested in completely cutting out something I genuinely enjoy.

Your anecdotal evidence says a lot more about the kind of people you surround yourself with than anything else. 60% of people in the US are still living paycheck to paycheck; many don’t have the time or the money for even the cheaper entry fees, especially when you consider having to buy/rent clubs.

Plus… why would an organization like the NGF downplay the number of golfers when their goal is literally to research and promote golfing?

its most peoples thing they do to fuck off from lifes bullshit.

No… not most.

According to the National Golf Foundation, 41.1 million Americans played golf – BOTH on-course and off-course – in 2022.

This record-setting total includes 25.6 million people who played on a golf course and another 15.5 million who participated exclusively in off-course golf activities at places like driving ranges, indoor golf simulators, or golf entertainment venues like Topgolf and Drive Shack.

So only about 8%… or 12%, if you include those who participate in “off-course golf activities” alone.

I’m sorry, but I didn’t fare any better in finding a higher resolution picture other than what you’ve already shared.

The tone thing is definitely strange, though. I actually found yet another picture of it in a frame here… the painting itself is a lot more yellow than the previous two.

Edit: idk why, but the link isn’t working. But copy/pasting the below address does.
