Yeah, I get periodically tested for my job.

Your statistics are off. You aren't including the people who were referred to the drug test and then didn't take it because they knew they wouldn't pass. Also, alcohol is legal, which is why it is not included in the test.

Independence Day is all that was great about 90's action flicks. So, in the words of President Josiah Bartlett:

Leaving aside all judgment on promiscuity and health concerns, I just feel like this is an awful lot of work for one measly little drink.

As one does.

Is it me, or is there much less nudity than there used to be?

You're being manipulated constantly, if you live in America. Advertising is manipulation. Politics is manipulation. Television shows and movies are designed to manipulate you. The music on the radio, the NPR broadcast you listen to, or the talk radio show you tune into every morning is designed to make you feel…

He mentions his parents visiting him several times in his journal, in fact. What his parents didn't do was search his apartment and computer when visiting. As you usually wouldn't for a college-age son.

Winter time: Because it starts to get uncomfortable when my leg hair gets too long. Shit feels itchy.

Army doctors encourage cardio for pregnant soldiers but discourage squats and other exercises that put pressure on the cervix. About exercises are carefully monitored starting in the second trimester.

Understanding how the situation developed historically and how our ancestors contributed to it does not solve the dilemma over what we should do now to help rectify the current injustices.

That's what I have news sites for, damn it. I come to Gawker Media for... not that.

I have read this several times, and I honestly can't tell whether you think this is a good message or a bad message to promote. Is it better to promote LGBT rights in foreign countries in the name of human rights, or to refrain out of a sense of cultural sensitivity? I know the common answer is "promote those voices…

Aw, I kind of liked him on those three episodes of The Voice that I watched two years ago.

This. It's easy to be outraged on behalf of poor people. It's a lot harder to ask people from those communities what you can do to help, to listen to their voices and promote causes they're actually outraged about.

Exactly, it's the whole point of FAFSA even having a Twitter. No one is going to retweet "Please remember to fill out your FAFSA, the due date is coming up!" People retweet jokes they find clever. This tweet had a mission to reach more than FAFSA's subscribers on Twitter, and remind them to fill out their financial…

The way to combat that is not to be ashamed of yourself and too afraid to laugh at yourself.

As someone who qualified for a Perkins loan through FAFSA ("low-interest federal student loans for undergraduate and graduate students with exceptional financial need.") I seriously do not find this offensive, but actually kind of cute and clever.

There are actually very few religions that prohibit vaccinations, so few that the number of people who devoutly follow those religions would make the unvaccinated population negligible. A lot of people falsely claim that their Judaism, Catholicism, or Islam forbids them from being vaccinated, but none of those faiths…
