a lot of the stigma surrounding sex work in the modern day (that doesn’t just boil down to misogyny/gender norms/religion) is based on the fact that selling intimate aspects of one’s self places a set value on something that many see as sacred

The fact that most of the times the stigma only clings to the person selling and not the person buying makes me think that this is actually a negligible part of the stigma.

Are you telling me your fairytale wedding does not include doves hacking out the eyes of your stepsister or your stepmother dancing to her death in shoes of red hot iron? Boooring.

Catholics also have patron saints for nearly everything from infants to ice skaters that they pray to but that are totally not gods because there is only one god. I mean, yeah, their second most important prayer is directed at the Virgin Mary, but that doesn’t mean they worship her or anything.

Ever heard someone say “I really put my foot in my mouth”? That’s what they are trying to find out.

I’m almost of average height for a woman in my country. Even if I thought height mattered, I would have very little reason to feel insecure about it. But since men are on average taller, I still count myself as being part of the short people.

Fair. But there’s no stepladder that will help you mimic my power of sitting comfortably in trains, planes and busses.

They also stopped dating them at some point apparently, so I’m not sure what you are trying to say. It’s not like the early stages of dating usually involve mowing the lawn or cleaning the house together so that’s something you only find out after having already found plenty of other things to like about this person.

But are you gonna return something for this method??? You said you’d return an integer, yet there is no return statement!

Wow, yours looks much more difficult than mine. I just had red balls coming out on top and having to leave at the bottom. Guess I’ll try another one.

I’m afraid I’m not following. The solution to what?

Edit: Sorry, I misread your comment.

Not only more readable than A and B but I would argue it’s also easier to remember who did what a few sentences or paragraphs earlier since Alice and Bob invoke slightly less generic mental images than A and B. For example one is a woman and the other one is a man, maybe even some person or character you know.

And now that I’m thinking about it, the different gender also makes it easier to keep track of who does what because different pronouns are used (at least in English and many other languages).

Yeah, idk what OP is talking about. I had a snowball fight with my brother and went sledging with my cousins a few weeks ago and in summer I regularly meet up with friends to go riding our bikes, swim in a lake or explore the woods.

Weird sunglasses are also important.

I’m not up to date with the online discussion of British politics. Is Cruella Braverman a thing already or do we need to make it happen?

I assume it’s for the same reason you say Nasendusche, Nasenrücken or Nasenbluten but Halsschmerzen or Halstuch (though I’m not sure what’s the exact grammatical reason). It has nothing to do with the number of noses. I think it would be Augenarzt and not Augearzt even if we had only one eye.

I wish. I usually have headaches, because my hormones go on a rollercoaster ride throughout my menstruation cycle.

Or being able to breathe normally when you don’t have a cold.

Well, most people already forgot where it originated. That is from people whose job was to compute stuff by using tables, calculators and paper.
