i knew a couple Russian born women in the IT world of Washington State in the 1990s. One was very much like the woman described here. She ultimately changed careers because she couldn't vibe with the work culture and her appearance caused unexpected attention. No doubt she was amazing to look at and sweet but very reserved. The other lady was also beautiful and knew it could be a distraction so she just made sure she was in charge so it wouldn't become an issue. That meant changing to fit the work environment. She became very outgoing and dedicated to being a top performer so she could move up and ensure she would get respect for her work and also use her appeal to get the extra advantage.

It does boil down to fitting in and willingness to change. If you can't be in the team spirit you can't join the team.

I hadn't watched it till now.. yuck!

but probably something anyone that wants to talk about this should see

but it got me thinking, I think the shooter was aiming for his mouth and the drift made the shot hit a little lower

I hope this gains more attention.... wowzers!

HAHA so the far-right jackass is confused by a translation issue and is accusing the politician of going to a hamburger festival?

fucking assholes the whole lieing lot of far-right idiots. words have no meaning to them, even words of different languages

oh, dang I thought meinshao was shitposting a shitpost... it's like some shitpost all the way down!

also fuck Charlie Kirk, reap what you sow. the planet is a better place without him.

hey, read the fucking article!

this sports rival was an example analagy given. The real reason was because she didn't fit in with the swearing and going to the pub vibe the workplace enviroment had

I just can't get past the first part... JFC you created this mess yourself!

I loved Klarna’s pay-later option. Especially in the weeks before Christmas, when expenses add up, it was encouraging to be able to order gifts and outfits for New Year’s without having to pay for them until the holiday madness was over.

I had to turn on the sound to understand what was going on HAHA

what a pretty girl

that page must really be sketchy!

oh you know that shirt generated some FUNK

I can smell him from here (and years later!)

Sorry you are having hard times... makes me think of being young and having a hard time figuring it all out myself. I am a generally normal man but when I was young I didn't know what I felt. IDK if you are in the same boat I was

I didn't know if I was gay until the day I kissed a boy. We were about the same age as you and it was one of those "well that question is answered, not gay". I am always thankful for that memory.

In my world, there are plenty of people like you in daily life. So much so that it doesn't even register most of the time. Washington State is a world away from Ohio it seems.

I always truly felt that Dan Savages message "it gets better" is a truism. I knew a lot of people that left their world and came to Seattle because it was where it got better for them.

if you arn't gay then it doesn't matter either. There are so many women that I personally know that would prefer a feminine guy over a jock beefcake meathead

I hope you know, it does get better. But it might mean you need to leave that old life behind to start a new one in an environment that will welcome you.

I remember feeling grossed out or disgusted by fat people and one time someone said something wondering what gay people do in private. I distinctly remember thinking, WTF dude like I don't like fat people but I am not thinking about their sex lives. They arn't destroying society and if they are happy then who cares? My opinion is meaningless to this.

bigotry is bigotry and that helped me find my line internally.

anyways, you are always welcome to sit by me and I would welcome a conversation with you

but it would have to happen outside of Ohio because I am probably not going there :P

one of my favorite quotes from the director David Lynch "fix your hearts or die". I think the ugly masculinity that you have had to face should have to face their hearts
