A lot of the popular information we hear about pregnancy and health outcomes is based on shaky statistics, as running the kinds of sound studies on pregnant women is considered highly immoral.

The best way to find a Cab is to find the nearest mid to high-priced hotel. They will inevitably have a cab-stand out front. My favorite trick is to walk in a side door and then out the front door and ask the doorman to fetch one for you. Only works if you can exude class privilege via race/gender/dress code.

I am going to stop buying silly one-use kitchen gadgets, because now I have a spatzel-maker and so my life should be complete right?

I DON'T CARE I WANT HIM!

It's probably a minority of busy-bodies with an amplified voice who are protesting the tree, which is kind of classic sex-negative behavior. Act all offended about someone else's activity and then claim to speak for everyone. my assumption of course

It's not the same thing but when I was working sales we regularly were forced to harass our clients at 5pm on the day before a holiday to try to pitch them services so we could make quota.

Nice yeah I also have a rent controlled place I was lucky enough to negotiate the lease from my past roommate. Two bedrooms, parking space in the garage, backyard, top floor, view of the GG bridge. Now I can never leave.

Sophie the Giraffe!! That thing is everywhere.

Hey it may seem expensive but look you get a shared washer dryer, a view of the alleyway, sometimes street parking is available in this neighborhood and only one of your roommates is a potential serial killer. Sure it's up 3 flights of stairs and there's usually a bum sleeping on your steps but.... what was my point…

I suspect the city just line items the 100k as "Promotional Expenses" since the amount of goodwill and publicity generated by the stunt was huge. It probably costs that much in police overtime every Halloween, St. Paddys day, Bay to Breakers, etc.

Gosh you mean things that would help pregnant women and children? Like food stamps and national preschools and paid medical leave? You know golly-gee I couldn't find any examples of anti-choicers rallying to promote these causes. It's almost as if there is some other motivation at play that's not about the BAYBEEEES.

My Privilege nooooooooo!!!!!

Yeah to be honest I never contacted them in time (it was 3 weeks before my wedding) and then later when I reached a representative I had already replaced the Tux (Calvin Klien, very happy with it) and didn't want to jump through the hoops to get my 2nd Tux replaced. I just want the $$ back for it. or a blazer... or a…

The suit I had tailored from IndoChino was the most expensive mistake I ever made. When I put it on it had that Frankenstein arm affect where they only reach down to my mid-wrist, and the shoulders fit terribly.

Yes I agree, the horrors of civilization gone wrong falls on the physically weakest first, women and children. One of the things that makes TWD so compelling for me is the question of "What choices would I be forced to make? How much of my soft liberal humanity would get stripped away?"

I've only read World War Z two times but I remember in the book (dear god not the movie) there are several female characters well represented, a fighter pilot and a cannibalism survivor. I don't recall gender roles being really chewed on in that book.

Agreed x 10, and in TWD Michonne is basically written as a man so there's little opportunity there.

The actor playing Christian Grey is not there for anyone to relate to or empathize with: he's there to be an object of lust.
