Any sentence that starts with “And quite frankly,” is going to be a shitshow.

Also known as the Seventh-Inning Kvetch

Fun fact: At Yankee games there is a designated part of each game where fans stand up, say “peace be with you” to all the people around them, and discuss how much they paid for their respective tickets.

Once your cat realizes the amount of work you put into something for them they will promptly ignore it and revel in your frustration before demanding more food.

Also, to be clear, there are no real health risks associated with flying while pregnant. The only “risk” is that you will give birth mid-flight, and not because flying induces the birth (though flying can be stressful).

Nobody missed the point, because you haven’t presented any salient points other than a general nihilism about Hollywood and how movies get made.

Even more amazing is what they found when they zoomed in closer.

Normally I’d dismiss this, as I have no idea WHY you think you know me, what I know, what I do, if I have read the shitty, slanted, VERY INNACURATE WHEN IT SUITS THEM bullshit New York Times, or in fact if I have a reasons to base my dislike on of what appears to be your personal spank bank material. But anytime…

...and not a one of those senators who stayed home touched a shovel or vacuum cleaner.

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

I’m currently chatting with an ex-Broad Inst pal of mine about this, and he says the same - but I feel like, the upcoming patent battle would be more likely to be settled with greater amicability and with less historical outwriting if all contestant parties were male.

Yeah... no. Shitty behavior and conflicts of interest aside, this really doesn’t have much to do with gender: this is about who gets credited for the discovery and who will be awarded the patent on a technology that has the potential to revolutionize gene editing and be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. The fact…

“I can’t comment on whether there will or won’t be changes to Dr. Lander’s piece.”

Nathaniel Comfort described Landers’ account as an instance of what historian Herbert Butterfield called “whig history.” In other words: “It rationalizes the status quo, wins the allegiance of the establishment, justifies the dominance of those in power.

I’m in Paris, France and public transportation is so unreliable that you can get away with almost any delay by invoking “transportation issues”. I use this as a false excuse sometimes and it always works. (Slept in ? “Transportation issues”). It wouldn’t work for chronically late people though - even if you use the…

I agree with your point here for the most part—people should be where they say they’ll be when they say they’ll be there. If it’s in their control, there’s no reason they shouldn’t be on time. That being said, to say that you’ve never ever been late for something your entire life is surely an exaggeration.

I think your process makes great sense while interest rates are low (non-existent, almost).
