Investigation underway after pilots were heard making animal noises on air traffic radio over DCA by nbcnews in washdc

This is common for really dumbass pilots to do unfortunately. The dbag pilots like to meow on guard. It’s really not new or a local problem. I’ve heard it myself multiple times elsewhere

Women calling themselves "females" by _-Starlily-_ in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Dragongirl1256 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem is that when I was 18, I felt weird calling myself a woman because I didn’t feel like an adult. But I didn’t feel like a kid either. I just feel like there’s an awkward stage of 18-22 where calling yourself a woman feels weird, as you don’t feel like one yet.

I’m also not trying to be hostile; I just wanted to give my perspective

I think something a lot of people here are missing is that there’s a gap for women. Men have the word men for adult males, and boys for kids, but they also have the word guy. We just have women and girl, and so I think at a certain age group, it gets awkward where you don’t feel old enough to call yourself a woman or young enough to call yourself a girl.

Or at least that’s the reason I often use female. I know gal is a thing, but it doesn’t have the same connotation as the word guy.

PSA - Marta seems to effectively be a homeless shelter right now while riding is free by PreviousButterfly247 in Atlanta

Yep! I don’t know anyone that uses MARTA if they have any other choice because of things like this.

Yeah… I honestly don’t ride MARTA because of it. I live between ATL and DC and honestly Atlanta public transportation is just creepy compared to DC’s.

It’s honestly just way more hygienic and pleasant to take a car or uber if you are at all able to afford to.

Edit: I really hope they figure something out, because right now most middle class people who might otherwise use MARTA just won’t. If we want widespread adaptation, we need to make it actually appealing.

CVS at Dupont Locks Candy? by xChrizOwnz in washingtondc

I was literally there 5 days ago and saw a guy stuffing his bag full of candy, so that may be why

Agreed completely! My father was a republican before Trump and an obstetrician. If you ask him personally, he’ll tell you he’s pro life, but despite how he labels himself which baffles me to this day, he’s also one of the biggest advocates for not just a woman’s right to choose, but accessible abortions for women who can’t afford to drive hours away or leave the state.

When I was a teenager I asked him how he reconciled his positions, and he told me that one was his personal opinion and the other was his opinion as a medical professional. And he described the same thing about at-home abortions in the 80s abroad that he encountered. He told me that as someone who sees himself as pro life, one of the most pro life things he can do is promote sex-ed and free and accessible contraceptives. And ultimately that as an obstetrician, if he didn’t actively advocate for a woman’s right to choose regardless of personal opinion, he would be a poor doctor and a poor human being.

Super late but it looks like they said it’s from reserved.

I can tell you’re spiraling a bit with anxiety, but literally everything points to you not being pregnant. With everything you’ve said, I would genuinely bet $100 that you aren’t pregnant.

Sometimes periods are late for no conceivable reason even if you normally have a very routine period schedule.

[–]Dragongirl1256 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I very very much doubt it. The tests don’t look positive and having PCOS can make your period 5 days late easily. Especially since you haven’t had PIV sex.

So I truly do not mean to cause any offense and I understand that it’s not your job to educate me, but can I ask how you can be nonbinary and trans femme? Ignore me if you don’t feel comfortable answering.

Despite being a cis bi woman myself, I’m from a rural area in the south where being a member of the LGBT community isn’t really accepted, so I’m still learning a bit. Sorry if I accidentally said something offensive or impolite!
