We are at that point already and they still won't consider it.

I was thirteen years old when I went to the doctor by myself because a cut on my eyelid wasn't healing. I was asked about my birth control, sexual activity, and whether I thought I could be pregnant (after saying I've never had sex) then pushed out of the examination room after NOT having my eye examined at all.

As an adult, I realize now how terrible that was and I would have done something about it if it had happened to me today. But at the time I was so embarrassed and hurt, I just pushed all thought of it away until years later.

There's a difference between using it as an adjective and a noun.

Requesting "a female doctor" is not as bad as requesting "a female."

If you live in Canada, absolutely do not do this. It can affect how much severance you're entitled to.

I have aphantasia and I love so many colors! I love looking at them, the more so because I can't remember them later. But every time I look at, for example, a bright yellow, it's like experiencing the wonder of it for the first time again and it's mesmerizing. Sometimes I have a hard time trying not to stare at certain colors I see. I might be broken.

Aren't the majority of people in general more excited about family and relationships than about their careers? Most jobs nowadays aren't exactly inspiring.

It wasn't advertised. OP says the label didn't indicate this was there.

Yes. I've never played the game but I loved the show.

The number of homeless people jumped by 16% (I assume compared to last year's numbers). That doesn't mean that 16% of people are homeless.
