There's no sense in conceding an election before all the votes are counted, it's the same thing as giving up to the other guy. If the other guy wouldn't relinquish power even if he lost, why would you concede to him? There's not much point in having higher ground to stand on if the other guy is still there telling you where and how to stand.

The beach is one of the few places there would be any actual double standard that works in a males favor, since males do tend to walk around with no shirts on at the beach, and females don't. It would also be one of the few double standards that does not work in a female's favor in life. Though if every female that went to the beach really wanted to walk around topless did so, there would be a lot of females to arrest hypothetically, since you don't often see any females arrested for walking around topless, or for exposure. The real question is would females want guys staring at their tits all day, which would be inevitable, and is the social conditioning that females go by when keeping their tops on. Nobody is staring at a male's nipples at the beach.
Females have to look and try hard to find a double standard that doesn't work in their favor, males know they're working hard on it since its males who are fucked over the most in life. Males aren't going around everywhere showing a nipple or two though, the beach or the water, a lake are some of the few spots males aren't going to get locked up or kicked out for having no shirt on.

Something realistic you don't see in a high school yearbook, even if it would help people prepare for reality. A few other ones you don't see are most likely to become a transvestite, most likely to commit suicide, most likely to become a gunman or mass murderer, and most likely to take money from classmates (legally or illegally).

A person who's friends can call them names like slut or heffer and its okay, but when some asshole says it there's a problem.

The bubbly girl thought that if she changed her image, that everyone else around her had to also change, and that the world around her and everything in it had to change as well (until she had everything revolving around her, as it had in her family and most areas of her life for her entire life). All this had to happen so that nobody would remember the goody two shoes poodle of her family with the bark that wouldn't quit, and they would only have the new, updated image of the drooling pit bull on meth and steroids to go by.

Self control isnt the same as self preservation,though some confuse the two. Self control is what keeps you from endangering yourself and the people around you. People who lack self control like to think of themselves as living dangerously or on the edge, which is not entirely off, but there's a difference between doing something risky on purpose and knowing what the risks beforehand, and wandering/stumbling your way into it and not knowing why. The same people who brag about living dangerously are the first to want credit for being cautious, they call themselves cautious every time they gain control of themselves, which is something other people are doing all the time, using self-control. It's like being honest, nobody should get credit for being honest, responsible, or using self-control and good judgment. Self preservation is doing anything it takes to survive, like a snake or a reptile, without any thought about anything else.

A lot of people in this country went out and voted on election day. All that effort they put into what they did is (always) at risk of being turned into bullshit (despite claims about the whole thing being a democratic process), which is why some people don't vote, they have a good reason not to.
What's the point of an election if the people who hold power don't have any regard for what everybody else in the country wants to happen? That's a king, not a president. Why call it anything else? Why deceive people who went out and voted?
