That means that you can get a good girl with a side of freedom for under $10, and still have enough for a can of soda, a dime candy, and a couple pieces of gum.
I’ve found that the reaction to the word “moist” is highly dependent on the context. For example, a cupcake described as moist sparks a feeling of deliciousness, while some potting soil described as moist gives me a sense of completeness or stability (plants typically need moist soil to grow, so it’s a good thing). However, a bus seat described as moist triggers a feeling of revulsion.
I continuously see comments about speaking to them in a language that they can understand, as well as comments about being the better person and not stooping to their level. Problem is, the only language that they understand is the language you don’t want people to use.
Hands down my favorite band ever (though, Faith No More could claim that spot depending on my mood.). Put their entire library on shuffle and you’d think you’re listening to multiple bands. Extremely talented musicians, quirky songs, fun compositions, and a variety and uniqueness rarely found coming from one band.
I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won’t be surprised but don’t dismiss the findings out of hand. It’s important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.
“… reach out to them like human beings and try to communicate to them on their level…”
So which is it? Are we supposed to treat them like human beings able to have a rational, reasonable, and logical discussion, or do we communicate on their level of bigotry, hatred, threats, and violence? How do I lower myself to a level that wholeheartedly believes that certain races are subhuman and don’t deserve rights, that females have a place and that place is subservient to men, or that homosexual people should be put to death?
It may ignore your reality, but the thing about experience is that it defines our realities, and the experiences of the women who responded make up reality as they see it. If they’ve had more negative experiences than positive ones, their reality is that the bear is a better option.
Based on so, so much of what I’ve heard/learned from my wife, female friends, co-workers, daughters, stories from numerous personalities from tv, film, and radio, MAGA, Andrew Fucking Tate, etc., I can’t say that I disagree with the choice.
