And unfortunately, statistically the likelihood of severe injury/death goes up when the abused tries to leave the abuser. So if she does leave, she may be in serious danger.

My own “#MeToo” has left me jaded about what to expect from other human beings, not to mention how much “fuck you, I’ve got mine” I’ve seen going on, especially in the last year.

In an ideal world, this would be true. But some people are so insular in their thinking that it takes the concept of a threat to one of their (female) loved ones in order to shock them.

Whoever was handling on-location filming burned a lot of goodwill, which is deeply unfortunate to say the least. They disappointed people mildly by putting up a “store” that was just a set, then threw out the products inside after filming was done (and were wrong about the stuff being expired). https://www.dnainfo.com/…

I’d say stock and a little bit of acid, like some white wine vinegar, maybe a bit of other vinegar. Try it to taste, adding slowly. You want just a hint since vinegar is more sour than wine or beer would be. A tablespoon might be too much.

I watched the week of “@midnight”where the joke was that Trump had bought a week’s worth of programming and insisted on making the show about him each night. Atamanuik was so damned on-point with the Trump-ness dialed up to 11; unlike Baldwin’s portrayal, he takes it just a little too far, but to a point where you…

Yes, my documents collection for my go bag has a list of the pet-friendly hotels within 10 miles or so, as well as the contact information for the three boarders we’ve gone with before. The closest of the boarders is located about 9 miles away, so hopefully at least one is outside the disaster zone. I update the hotel…

That’s probably pretty much it. It was about his power to him, to use and humiliate women at a whim.

Seriously. West Loop/Fulton Market has fabulous restaurants.

I dunno, is that required? What’s the accepted standard for going for C-section; do they have to wait for obvious and definite fetal distress, or are signs of impending distress acceptable?

I wonder if they had waited until definite distress, whether some lawyer be raking them over the coals for not being proactive.

Always is. Supernatural monsters aren’t real; human monsters are.

For stuff like this, I use large plastic resealing lids for disposable canisters (from Costco-sized powdered creamer containers, for instance) as a cheap “coaster” to keep my counter clean. They’re pretty easy to wipe clean, or just toss out if they’re too nasty.

I mean, it’s Texas - where else are they more likely to be able to benefit from the right to bear arms? I don’t think it helped.

Yessss, love this stuff. I gather some of the colors are streaky/patchy but damn, most do not move until you want them to.

True. I enjoy a Lagunitas beer now and then, but the times I’ve been to the (Chicago) brewery and had a flight, they all started blurring together. Might be the heavy bittering starts numbing your palate.

Not San Francisco! SF is a place where you can totally just talk to people in bars and make lots of friends that way and drink craft beer at $4 a bottle every day and blah blah blah.

He was complaining that Chicago is expensive. He’s from San Francisco, for god’s sake. That alone made me realize how full of shit he is.

Thank goodness it’s not just me for sizing issues with them. I hate going in there but ended up trying on a few pairs of pants in a few different sizes and cuts, and finally figured out what actually fits me.

I was horrified as a kid to discover there’s an actual NIMH and was really concerned about this.
 
(And still - WTF? Dragging in a real research institution and basically slandering them, even for a kids’ story?)
