Was checking through all the comments to see if someone posted it. :)

It should have been her choice from the start. If he was just using her as a pawn, then I agree that you shouldn't use your kids like that. Should instead talk to them about the rule and how they feel about it and make sure they understand that breaking it will lead to consequences with the school even if it's dumb,…

You can do all those things as part of saying "fuck the rules". Sorry, I grew up in FL, there are so many dumb rules there that the government has no intention of getting rid of. I committed a misdemeanor by living with my husband before we got married, oh no! Trust me, we've tried to have it repealed, but even the…

That is very sad. :( I'm sorry you were reminded in that way.

Really, do people expect that their baby will just take over the social media channel that's in their name, assuming that the current social media sites will still be around when they're old enough to care, rather than trying to pretend it doesn't exist and hoping their friends never find it in search?

I see your point now. It should have been mentioned. It does make it more curious, in that I think it's more a matter of discriminating against being "too black"

If the rules are racist (or sexist, etc.), fuck the rules. Kids shouldn't be taught to blindly follow rules no matter how flawed the reasoning behind them may be.

Implying that intraracism doesn't exist?

It's not against the rules, exactly, but it could pose problems depending on what you're working with, so I'd say it's ill-advised unless you know that nothing you're working with could be affected by it. You're basically bringing other chemicals into the lab at that point. In the worst case scenario, if something…

Shouldn't wear makeup while in the lab. Otherwise, probably not important and I wouldn't take someone less seriously for it, although I don't really understand why someone would care about it. I never wear makeup because it seems like a waste of time where I could either be productive or do something I actually enjoy…

Good luck with that!

Yeah, not sure about that. The 23andme test does give interesting health results as well and those I think were worth it.

Sad for not having it off when everyone else does apparently, maybe. :P

Hey! I posted last week about my 23andme results. I got my ancestry composition but it's much more vague than I was hoping for...

Nope, school isn't cancelled here. (I'm in the US, but private universities don't have to give it off). :( Although even if it was, I'm a grad student so I'd still have to come in.

I was thinking lab goggles...

Wow, I didn't even except $400 gifts from family. That's insane! I did end up returning some things, but that's mostly because I got like 5 slow cookers, 3 vacuum cleaners, 4 grills, etc...

And for getting two at once, we got 20% off on the second kit. It was a great deal. :)

It checks if you're a carrier for 48 different diseases and calculates your risk for a whole lot of different diseases. For example, I'm at 3.16x the risk for age-related macular degeneration, but 0.19x the typical risk for Type 1 diabetes, with typical (1.04x) risk of obesity. It only gives you an estimate of risk %…
