Same here.

Job interview went well. Tomorrow I'm sitting in on a class, and then I shall be teaching years four and five maths. Once I pass my probation period I'll be making twice what I make now, and over the summer the workload goes up to twenty or so hours a week.

it was a prosecutor for the case who called the thirteen-year-old victim 'predatory' and 'sexually experienced' and the perpetrator got an eight-month suspended sentence for fucking a thirteen-year-old.
but don't worry, the sentence was later upped to a year... but still a suspended sentence.

but no, rape culture is definitely a myth though up by feminazis trying to steal some nutsacks

That seems pretty skeevy, unless it's one of those odd circumstances where he's like 18 and she A) lied about her age and B) could somehow look 18 at the age of 13. I've heard of that happening*, but then that should be the reasons for a reduced sentence, not the 'predatory' and 'sexually experienced' parts. Or rather, not those elements by themselves without mention of an attempt to deceive about her age.

* I should clarify in that case the girl in question was 16 or 17, which makes it a bit more plausible she'd pass as legal age. I seriously doubt a 13 year old girl would, though. But I suppose it's theoretically possible.

this same guy had also had sexual images of children on his computer, so...

Finally giving in and getting your ears pierced with a metal allergy

or

are you fuckin kidding me THIS alloy has nickel too christ

Iridium rings. Best rings.

Joking. But I think I remember one of my sisters wearing earrings made with a -ium something.

I had a tungsten ring that was so boss. But after my surgeries it was too big.

Well, I didn't get this photography internship because my schedule didn't work for them. At least they think highly of me. That's one door closed. I won't be able to try again because of school.

Well then yeah, he deserved more and that judge is a fucknut (I'm assuming that information was entered into evidence during the trial, at least).

I was speaking in the abstract, though.

That's what she said.

Things I regularly keep in my purse because they're always good to know where they are:
keys
phone
bag of dice
anxiety chain

Things that should be in my purse but eh who cares probably not important I'll find it eventually maybe:
wallet

I used to not be able to leave a building - any building - without checking for phone, wallet, keys

Since starting anti-Ds I've forgotten my wallet several times, locked myself out of the house once and even walked away from my car with the keys in the ignition and the engine running.

Wooooo relaxation of personal standards

I do the old double arse tap whenever I'm getting off a bus or plane to check for my keys and wallet

the idea that people actually put things in the back pockets continues to astound and amaze me.

it has yet to fail me

How do you sit

they're the easiest pockets to pick, and your asscheeks are the worst part of your body for noticing things smushed against them.

In 90% of cases of forgotten wallet or phone, I caught it before I finished getting into my car because I noticed my front pockets felt empty when I walked.

I usually take them out if I'm sitting down

and pfft we don't have no stinking pickpockets in straya

I've yet to have my wallet stolen from my back pocket.

Once or twice it's fallen on the floor of a public restroom though

another problem solved by front pockets

I

I thought I was the only one

Seriously though is there a reason for them to be in the back pockets instead of the side honest question here

Either I put the wallet in my back pocket, or if I'm wearing a jacket with an inside pocket I'll put my wallet there. Since the latter doesn't happen frequently, the back pocket is standard.

The only reason is one of habit. If you always put something in the back pocket instead of the front, then you form that habit. I can't think of any rational reason to put it in any particular pocket.

I have an allergy or something that results in me needing to blow my nose a lot; my front pockets are generally full of kleenex.

I do it because my dad did it and probably his dad before him and so on down the line

That's a genuine answer, too

Also, back pocket is wallet. Right pocket is keys. Left pocket is phone. If there are other pockets(like cargo pockets) they will be assigned on an as-need basis.
