It's one of my favorite quotes.

YES. All of this.

These videos are nice, but they always give me mixed feelings. My sister is Deaf and refused to consider an implant (she actually switched doctors because the last one pushed it very aggressively, and she did not feel comfortable around the practice anymore). Her rationale is that she speaks just fine (using ASL). She…

"Some people get awesome alleles for personality and intelligence and shitty alleles for health..."

Yes, but it would also involve Moffat writing a female character as anything other than a device who functions in relation to the Doctor, which he is fundamentally incapable of doing.

And there are those people whose lives might be shortened because of their debilitating acne. At some point, it becomes worth it to people to take on the risks. Accutane was overprescribed, but there are many, many people who believe it gave them a second chance at life. I'm glad the side-effects are more well-known…

Accutane isn't for normal acne. Have you ever read Ham on Rye by Bukowski? It's for his acne. Acne that's so bad, your high school asks you to leave permanently because it's scaring other students, and you have a standing appointment at the hospital downtown to pressure wrap your entire face after a primitive…

Bear in mind that isotretinoin isn't indicated for simple acne; it's indicated for acne that doesn't respond to benzoyl peroxide, adapalene, or antibiotics, and is causing scarring. Yeah, it has a lot of possible side effects, including a bunch that weren't identified until well after the Phase III clinical trials. …

I'm planning on telling my grandchildren how I survived the invasion of KILLER BEES in my childhood, and how it toughened and shaped my character.

I can see how one might think - if they've never been in a romantic relationship - that it holds the sole key to happiness. It is commonly portrayed that way in movies, on TV and in books. It's a common story that the unlucky and unhappy protagonist is saved by a romantic connection, and lives happily ever after. …

Your logic is outrageous. "They should be considered murderers because incel kills people." On that premise, no one could ever do anything to anyone else that could potentially upset them. Because sometimes being upset leads to depression, which could lead to suicide. And then anyone who ever did something that person…

I don't have Spongebob pajamas, but can I come over and sit awkwardly in a chair and not make eye contact and just listen to you and Ubertrout trade witty comments? Because I'm already doing that.

The "you are forcing me to be psychotic" tone of that comment by thebakedlebowski is so weirdly common amongst MRAs. "I just HATE to say this because I am such a NICE GUY who cares about EQUALITY and respects REAL women, but you really need to have your guts spread all over the sidewalk you BITCH WHORE." Yeeaaahhh.

I bet your students think you're awesome! Seriously, if someone (besides our well-meaning but terribly misinformed peers) would have taken the time to talk to us about lubricant back in high school I think it would have reduced the terribleness of some terrible early sexual experiences in my group of friends.

"It’s not only in Veronica’s best interest to be returned to her father, it’s in her tribe’s best interest, too"

I don't care, let's get everyone cashing in on the feminist demographic and then MAYBE WE'LL GET SOMEWHERE.

A lady I worked with noticed a grocery sack on the corner just down from her Day care. When it was still there the next afternoon, she stopped and looked inside. There were4 tiny kittens. Two had already died. They were all covered in bugs. She rushed them to a vet. She bottle fed them and was sponsored by the…

This is how it works:

Vaccines come with a very small risk. That is an indisputable fact.

Hi, I go to the school where this took place. People are asking if it was mandatory, and the answer is yes. Could we leave? Our principal lied to local news stations saying that we could, but no, he never told us we could. Parental consent was not asked for. Parents didn't even know about it. Most of the teachers…
