I honestly don’t mind a complain-y article here and there, but this website used to be such a great place for well-thought out opinions, support, female empowerment, and topics for debate. It’s not this piece itself that irks me. But seems like it’s almost all literally all cranky opinions, and half-researched…

Your last sentence precisely. The source - climate change, deforestation, unregulated food supplies, human error, or bio terrorism conspiracy - matters less. You cannot police other sovereign countries’ climate, environmental, regulatory, and geopolitical policies. What you can do is adjust your own policies and…

The whole lab leak thing is a moot point, a red herring, and/or complete waste of resources. I can’t believe people would waste breath on it, let alone anything else, when there are still so many glaring issues with vaccine equity, roll out, access, OR ANY OTHER lessons learned after the pandemic response. Who cares…

I mean, how do his comments about being worried about science going too far play into this? Just because he was injecting humor into it doesn’t mean he wasn’t being sincere with his beliefs which, again, maybe it IS a lab leak, but spreading misinformation about the name of the lab and sounding ignorant about the work…

People want this to be a lab leak because it’s a lot easier to cope with the idea that “if China just had tighter lab security none of this would have happened” than it is to cope with the idea that pandemics are going to pop up every once in a while, and it is painfully obvious that we are totally unprepared in all…

This was not satire.

He’s 100% serious

Thank you, Ashley! This lab leak is bullshit. It’s like people learned nothing from the invasion of Iraq.

Liberals and conservatives alike are hankering after a new Cold War so goddamn badly they can taste it, huh? Literally zero evidence out there in favor of the lab leak theory, but the neatest little turn in the “just asking questions” framing is that the lack of evidence becomes, in itself, evidence — after all, who…

To a degree it’s completely beside the point - if it was a lab leak, then it was a virus that was already out there in the wild and could have gotten to humanity at any time.

(Unfortunately, either way, the time happened to be when the dumber among us had partnered with a 220-year-old mistake to put a syphilitic game…

One of my oldest and dearest friends has terminal cancer and will be gone by the fall.

Oy vey... that is some mediocre “I can do whatever I want” male shit.

I would second being cautious about it. I didn’t have any employers actually verify my degree until this most recent one. I’d hate for him to lose out because if his prospective employer actually bothered to check 😬

The best part is that HE WASN’T EVEN A CONTRACTOR FOR APPLE! The company he was working for just had Apple as a client!!!! 🤯

Good for you! And how bad is a place if you know within minutes that it’s not for you? I interviewed at a place a few years ago where immediately upon entering the office suite you felt depressed and everyone I met there seemed tired and sad, despite being reasonably young and fit. I declined the 2nd interview and she…

Oh, that’s not true. I wouldn’t lie about having a degree. Last year, my cousin filled out a job application and listed the years he attended an Associate’s degree program without explicitly saying he didn’t finish the degree. His job offer was rescinded because they said he misrepresented his experience, which showed…

I did something similar during a job interview. It was nearly a whole day affair and I had to give a presentation during the lunch hour. I knew within 2 minutes I could never work in that environment with those people but powered through the stupid presentation. While waiting for the 5th or 6th person to enter the inte…

I think I'm blaming myself because I don't know what's going on and I don't know what to do for her. And I need for her to be okay. You're right, she'll hopefully settle. 

I think in the follow up video to this one, the (bald) guy mentions that he owns a construction business. So OF COURSE he’s able to build this, at wholesale prices, and with minimal labor costs. My point being don’t feel bad. Plus most cats are just fine with a cardboard box and a paper bag. 

My cat just watched this and has pretty much accused me of abuse for not providing similar.
