First classy move he's made in his life. Wonder if it was his idea?
Well, sure. Nobody should be proud of something they got by birth, and I do think beauty as something you DO or even buy is more egalitarian than a standard based on heredity, where you can just lose or win and can't change it.
Overall I have seen the ideal of beautiful get much more varied and diverse over my lifetime, which is nice, too.
I was about to ask how in the world a Kentucky clerk of the court could have enough to pay a half million settlement, but inheritance, I guess makes sense.
Black bean burger with bacon, cheese, onion & jalapeno is delicious.
Already in my lifetime my area has gone from zone 9 to 10. Which means now we can grow mangoes. But yeah. It's changing.
Where do you put the paper filter? I couldn't find rounds the right size for mine, you lay it on top of the grounds?
On cholesterol - mine has always been high no matter the diet so the doctor sent me for a quick "calcium score" test which came back showing zero buildup in the arteries, so he advised against statins. Not sure if you are old enough for that to be relevant, but there are other tests that measure the size of LDL particles, etc. to see if they are a dangerous type. Statins are an old and safe drug, of course, no real reason to worry about them just wanted to point out cholesterol is more complicated than just high or low.
I am still mad about that too. Why the fuck did Al Gore concede before the count was finished? I feel like the timeline split and I ended up on the wrong one. Absolutely agree with you, that is the beginning of all this bullshit.
Is Discluded a word? Isn't that Excluded?
I know it can be different for trans ladies, but would encourage you to show it off. Height is an asset IMO. Wear heels, be tall, it's a good look, don't hide or shrink. No idea how I dodged that as an insecurity, I'm older and when I was young it was not seen as pretty, but models got tall and still it's mostly tall ladies who model, right? Because it's pretty, the long lines.
This gets upvoted but remember 3 million of us did try to vote him out. And near 4 million for Angie Nixon this year.
I feel more like I got close to what I'd choose, just never quite to the point I couldn't do better, if that makes sense? I'm tall for a girl, 5'9" but would have liked to be one inch taller, in my legs. Thin but would like to be thinner. Pretty happy with my hair, actually, except for the color. Loose curls are what I'd choose, and are what I have. Never had a waist, and yes did want one, bone structure thing, but "elongated athletic" is a body type I like, I don't care that much.
All my hangups relate to weight. I've been thinner but never actually felt like it wouldn't look better to be even thinner, which I realize makes no sense but is still how I feel.
Agree a lot of it is created by commercial interests trying to sell things.
Well we are actually also aging more slowly, or at least some of us are, and we are more likely to be the working old people. I agree it would be nice to be able to retire, but half a lifetime in retirement probably won't work out for me or society. Already I have worked for 40 years and at a "real job" (one that could be described as a career) for 25 years. I don't see any possibility of retirement for probably 15 more years unless we get an unexpected windfall.
Agree on not living to 100. 85 is a good run and not sure I want to get older than that, bodies can only last a limited time no matter how well we treat them. But people my age, especially women, are predicted to live past 90, that's crazy. How am I supposed to make enough money to retire while I can enjoy it some AND live past 90?
