Howdy, Wage theft is the idea that employers keep a lot of money they should rightfully giving to employees. This can be seen in small things that are often presented as common place, and big things that many employees don't have the time or resources to seek compensation for. One example is rounding policies on clocks. I used to work at a large retail chain that would round our times down to the nearest 15 minute mark. So if you worked until 4:14 and clocked out, you would only get paid as though you had worked until 4:00. Something one of my siblings experienced at a different workplace was a manager telling her she needed to stay until the next person showed up since said sibling did not have keys to secure the building and the manager needed to leave early. She agreed, expecting to be paid for her overtime. She never was, despite lodging a formal complaint with payroll and HR. Hope this helps! Cheers.

Howdy,

In case anyone is actually curious, that is Sophie from the movie Howl's Moving Castle. The movie is only passingly similar to the book by the same name, but they're both fun media.

Cheers!

Howdy, In case you are asking out of genuine curiosity, yes! That can be a real problem for two reasons that immediately come to mind. Firstly, the average vagina is only as deep as the average penis, so a penis that is too long can cause pain durring thrusting for both parties. This is less of an issue with anuses since they do not strictly have an end. There is still such a thing as too deep though, medically. Girth can similarly be an issue since vaginas and anuses are stretchy, but only to a point. Secondly, humans do not have a bone in the penis to help it stay up. They rely almost exclusively on blood pressure. If the penis is too big, it can be very difficult to get an erection, once again making it a problem for all involved sexual parties. Cheers!

PSA for anyone who needs to hear it: taking Plan B as directed does not cause miscarriages. If a fertilized embryo has already implanted into the uterine lining and started to grow, Plan B has missed its window of effectiveness. That's why the directions indicate you need to take it as soon as possible and no more than 72 hours after intercourse. Cheers.

While I cannot assume I know jerkface's stance, what they may be saying is that it is not great to equate pedophilia and child molestation because many pedophiles seek professional and personal interventions based on their attractions. Often, they take severe measures to keep themselves away from children because they do not want to hurt said children. Saying all pedophiles are child molesters disincentivizes people from seeking help from psychological and medical professionals when they may most need it. Thanks for listening. Cheers.

Hello.

I recognize that you're probably being sarcastic or joking, but just in case you were curious, Margaret Hamilton is recorded as 5 foot 4 inches tall. I could not find a height for Martina Dimoska, but if we assume the black binder in her stack is a two inch binder (a guess based on seeing many two inch binders in my profession), we can estimate that she is just over 5 ft tall.

Cheers!

Hello,

While food addiction is not described in the DSM V, binge eating is described as eating until uncomfortably full, eating large ammounts of food when not physically hungry, eating more rapidly than normal, eating alone due to embarassment over consumption, and/or feeling disgusted, depressed or guilty with oneself during or after an episode. There is also a carve out for Other Specified Eating and Feeding Disorder that might interest you. While these behaviors are not described as addictions, they often require professional intervention to meaningfully change. Describing them as addictions does not trivialize addiction, but rather indicates how uncontrollable and pathological they can be for some individuals.

Cheers!

You might give fry bread a try. There are a lot of recipes available, and it can be topped with either sweet or savory ingedients. I suggest a recipie that uses shortening for frying, but thats what my grandma used to use so I am biased. Cheers!

If you have time for a podcast, ScienceVS has done two episodes on trans people with well researched citations. The more recent episode looks specifically at the issue of bullying and negative trans experience. Hope this helps. Cheers!

According to one urologist named Dudley Danoff, from a MEL Magazine article, it is not something that happens. So, while this is just one doctor's report over a lifetime of patients, this would seem to indicate ejaculation during a prostate exam is exceedingly rare. Hope this helps. Cheers!

There is a lot of information about "suicide-by-cop", but I cannot find any statistics about the kind of scene depicted. Mostly, the people killed in these interactions have, or act like they have, a weapon in order to provoke a violent response. Do a search for suicide-by-cop statistics and you get lots of interesting results. Cheers.
