But earlier you said that you couldn’t find any contradictory reports?

I’m having a hard time following here - what do you see as the motivation of unaffiliated researchers to continue manipulating statistics to come out with one consistent conclusion? And why isn’t there a similar effort underway to publish reports that reach the opposite conclusion (the one you believe is the…

Here’s a just-published report about how prison reduction statutes did not lead to an increase in crime: “The report found that, on average, urban crime rates did not increase as considerably in counties with higher rates of Prop 47-related prison releases or larger reductions in jail ADPs. In fact, there was no…

Can you find a single study that suggests that they do improve safety? Cause if you can manipulate statistics to say anything, you’d figure there’d be at least as many reaching the opposite outcome, right?

Ok, if research showing that mandatory minimums haven’t improved public safety isn’t enough to answer your question, I don’t think anything is.

Yes, there is widespread bipartisan agreement on this question and it spans the entire ideological spectrum.

What kind of quandary is this? In a fucking heartbeat.

I’ve been calling them back and trying to rope them into long conversations explaining to me exactly what I owe and why. I figure at least I’m wasting their time too.

Can confirm. Wore mine out in West Hollywood last weekend; lots of approving lesbo nods.

“The Canadian”

I totally get it. And it is very tedious to feel like you’ve got to be so vigilant about your every choice. I also have long blonde hair and wear it up almost constantly because it attracts too much attention.

Yeah, I feel like I’m always just one accessory away from “sexy secretary.”

I definitely contemplated sending a picture of my butthole as a “fuck you” response to a particularly unwelcome text message (from a friend with whom I’d had a terrible falling out). Never as a sex thing.

I do really appreciate that this song is about agricultural practices and NOT the dangers that GMOs pose to human health (none at all).

We’ve got one vote in our house for “Star Wars.”

H&M. I tried to buy it for my boyf after that episode, but it was sold out.

Mouthwash too.

I live in LA so there’s no shortage of options - but it wasn’t until my 4th one that I finally found someone I’m happy with. (People will tear their hair out at the mention of it, but realself.com is also super helpful for this kind of thing.)

Have you looked into laser treatments? Fraxel maybe? (At 36, I decided to redirect my Sephora budget to a high-end dermatologist.)
