Mostly dealing with 3rd party keyboard issues. Search on iOS won’t bring up the keyboard sometimes, some app crashes and overall a few UI hiccups have been the most annoying things for me. Oh and that something changed in the way my iPhone is mounted on Ubuntu, which made it a little harder to unmount so I can used it…

I once saw one at a house I was visiting for dinner - sat down in it after dinner while the rest of the party were talking, and fell asleep. Now admittedly I was 18 at the time, so somewhat more flexible than I am now...but yeah, I'd say comfortable.

Thanks for your reply. You'll be happy to know that research regarding adolescent and pre-pubescent ("tween") attitudes and behaviors with respect to parental notification laws for sexual health concerns abound. The medical establishment has actually studied this for decades, and while there are too many papers for…

I say this as the child to a mother who was 15 when she had her first and 17 when she had her second. I would have dealt with only a fraction of pain and hardship had someone taken me from my mothers care before I was 10 years old. So many of the problems I struggled with up until my early 20's go back to the sense of…

DigitallyCrazy - I think you are making a valid point and unfortunately the vitriol you are getting in response is preventing an even-tempered discussion of the important issues surrounding medical decision making in pediatric patients.

I don't think so. Even professional photographers have gotten into trouble for this. Unless they got model releases from each and every person, allowing them the rights to the image, I don't see how this isn't a violation.

If it makes you feel any better, working on a Ph. D. in physics seems to repel women, too.

And yeah, of all the female physicists I know (which is, admittedly, not a whole lot, all things considered) exactly 2 are dating/married to non-physicists.

Honestly, this matches up pretty well with how I feel. (Minus the bit about God.) Did Zimmerman do some stupid, obnoxious, and aggressive things that led to him killing someone? Absolutely. But as far as I know, the stupid, obnoxious, and aggressive things he did were not actually illegal. And as for the…

"Because – let’s be clear here – according to current Florida law, you can get a gun, follow an unarmed minor, call the police, have them explicitly tell you to stop following him, then choose to ignore that, keep following the minor, get into a confrontation with him and if at any point during that process you get…

I think it is kind of silly to think that six white women represent how all or most white women think. Or even to assume to know why they reached that verdict.

I'd like to know how many millennial men say they want to lead "large or prominent corporation". Maybe it's not that many more.

Should more than 15% of any generation really want to be a CEO of a large corporation? That strikes me as saying nothing about the general ambitiousness of a generation. I wouldn't want that job, but I would like to make partner in my law firm. Not as ambitious as CEO, but still not a slacker position.

Here's a PDF from the Nebraska Domestic Violence Sexual Assault Coalition that offers some great suggestions for what to say/how to respond when someone discloses a sexual assault. If you're interested in knowing more you can contact your local sexual assault coalition or other organization that works with…

I'm with you. The only person that has confided a sexual assault in me was my best friend when we were 10. I had NO form of reference for how to react, had never even thought of such a thing happening to anyone I knew. I never blamed her because I was so shocked (and we were 10!!!!!) but I truthfully have no idea how…

When I finished crafting my response to you, I wanted to sum it up by saying "So good luck, sister." I do think you should respond with empathy; as to what else a victim needs, I'm not sure. I know some Jezzies are victim advocates and work in rape crisis centers and the like; I would be interested to see how you are…

Here's the way I think of it.

Do we really live in a world where a person cannot hold these two separate thoughts:

Then maybe allow posts like this to help draw attention to the broader issues at hand. Instead of saying something like "that's dumb, these guys do way worse", try something like "hey, this is a good example of the sort of attitude/behavior that is problematic in American academia; check out these other crazy…
