Mid-30s woman here, from western US. I call my mom any of the following, depending on mood/context:

• Mom
• Mommy
• Mama
• Ma (definitely can become Maaaaa at times)
• Uma
• Mother (usually in a jokingly stern tone)
• Her name (when she’s being particularly deaf)

Considering you’ve thought about it, you’re already ahead of 95% of congress.

That goddamned movie made leaves look delicious and my child self did not appreciate the lesson in reality versus fantasy. ಠ_ಠ

I’m guessing it’s that the main character’s baby is the “destined” lover of the character who was the second male lead. Alternately, it could be that the main character is a teenager courted by a man hundreds of years her senior, but that one tends to be less frowned upon in media.

Either way, I think Meyer would’ve come up with her drivel one way or another.

Absolutely disgusting. Our common ancestors are rolling over in their graves at their inhumanity.

I…want to eat it.

Based on the username and formatting of the title, I’m guessing OP’s native language may be Japanese, where questions are often statement+question word.

Shitsumon desu - It’s a question.

Shitsumon desu ka - Is it a question?

Explain humans. Checkmate, scientists!

As another US person, I don’t think you have anything for which you should apologize. Everyone, everywhere, should be angry about what the US is doing - internally and externally. I would never think it’s wrong to say “I wish Nazi Germany had imploded before it became WWII and mass murder”; Nazi US is no different.

It’s terrifying to be here but I don’t think anyone should be quiet about how awful this is.

Hugs to you, friend. I hope we all come out of this okay.

I meant vosotros, yes, thank you! Sorry, it’s been over two decades since I was in Spanish class; I mixed vos and vosotros up.

I’m a bit concerned with myself that I instantly recognized the nose. You didn’t let me down.

Oh my goodness, that fluffy tail! Such a pretty kitty!

Maybe it’s because I’m from California, but we learned Mexico-Spanish. The books included Spain-Spanish (i.e. vos conjugations), but my teachers never included it in our lessons.

This was my first thought, too 😂

Wait until I’m about to die, then go back to when the first land-dwelling animals first started coming ashore. I’d bring a bunch of cockroaches with me and then I’d die there. Either the roaches or my decaying corpse will hopefully cause enough change to the timeline that humanity never develops in the first place.

I think that’s the most I could screw over the (human) world.

Keep it up, Canada (and Mexico, too, please). The more pressure from outside, the more likely we can successfully apply pressure from inside to slow/stop/reverse the actions the current US administration takes.

It’s gonna hurt and I’m not looking forward to it, but it’s necessary. The world should remember the lesson from WWII that appeasement does not work and act accordingly.

I just want to note: target is a pretty decent place to use the bathroom when out and about.

Give them your shit, not your money. Plus, they have to pay for the water you use.

If you’re really being serious, then the answer is that most (or, at least, the vocal majority) of those people don’t even really care about living children. I don’t see that type of person generally giving any more care to a non-human being than they would a human being, and they already don’t care about people other than themselves.

“Pro-life” has always been a misnomer. More honest descriptions would be “anti-choice” or “pro-forced birth.”

That seems like a bit of an unnecessarily hostile response to a joke comment.
