Thanks! I will try out some things this weekend.

Thanks!

Do you have suggestions for the dry skin? I am finding it especially bad for me this year and I am miserable. Moisturizers you like? A humidifier? Thanks!

Gravity is a movie about George Clooney choosing to float off into space rather than spend any more time with a woman his own age.

I mean, it's probably a little exaggerated, but only a little.

Given that you were old enough to be drinking in bars and all were in on the game, that seems fun! As opposed to kids who say things like "no offense, but, you are ugly and I think no one should be friends with you." Or, the adult cousin of "no offense, but:" "I'm not racist, but..." JOY.

Just to clarify, I haven't heard anything about Jezebel planning on doing such a thing: I didn't want to scare people into thinking that was the case; I have no affiliation with Jezebel (outside of being a commenter)—I am just interested in studying anonymity.

HKS?? Or Harvard in general?

Just a reminder: this is the same survey I have posted in Groupthink and Snap Judgement, so if you've taken it from either of those sources, your response is recorded already. Thanks!

Nope! Just indicate that you are not eligible to vote in the U.S. on the question that asks that.
