Or, maybe you have to be poor to be worthy.

And also to get in line for one of those last minute preemptive pardons from the Orangelini since Paxton heard he’s passing those out soon.

I mean, in many ways, this is the logical conclusion to American exceptionalism, I suppose. 

That daughter and this woman’s children are the only people in this mess that I can find any sympathy for. 

The difference between a career federal employee and an appointee. Not everyone who works for the federal government is appointed by the sitting President. 

I’ve actually wanted to get this testing done, for a totally different reason. I believe I have the gene that prevents me from metabolizing opioids properly, because they literally do nothing for me except make me nauseous as hell. After my C-section, I literally only took Ibuprofen, because it was the only thing that…

Keeping the theme of how differently drugs affect different people: I’m on Buproprion and if I accidentally take two of the 300 xl’s in one day, even 6-12 hours apart (it’s happened a few times), it sets my ADHD into overdrive. I literally have trouble breathing and I can’t sleep at all, but the 300 is perfect for me.…

My psychiatrist (who I adore) once told me that often, despite his best efforts, he can fix one thing while not fully treating another (for instance mania vs anxiety vs depression). To that end, he’s found it useful to ask the person in the beginning which they preferred to have treated and to start there, because…

I’m so late here, this definitely won’t get seen much, but in response to:

See also: independent Facebook groups of your city. We’ve got two. One is vehemently far-right and basically racist and classist as hell out in the open and the other is central right.   

Amy McGrath is going to lose badly, Florida’s gonna fuck-up again, and Texas isn’t even going to get close to blue. That’s the reality.

It’s happened one time in our history, and was also a Democrat, although it was a VERY different party then, of course. The electoral college has been fucking the people over almost since its inception, though. It’s not a recent occurrence. It has to go. We have no reason for it now. 

I disagree. Texas isn’t flipping. It will, but not yet. There are too many people in the smaller counties who give lip service to social issues (because Jesus), but then go in and vote based on how scared they are that they might have to pay $500 more in taxes next year.

You want to know how fucked the electoral college is? Harris County, a decidedly blue county, has a larger population than 25 states. These 25 states represent 23.08% of the electoral votes. Texas as a whole represents 7.06%.

I watched most of the YouTube video (mostly on mute to just watch her movements).

I swear I’m not picking on you, and I actually agree heartily with like 95% of your last comment, but...

People tend to become more conservative with age not the reverse.

They’re a troll. They always pick something inane and totally harmless to like really dig at someone about. It’s literally this person’s MO. 

I’m completely with you, but I’m not sure it’s fair to compare a Hadith to ‘inshallah’, which seems to me more cultural than religious in nature. It’s Arabic, though it’s said by Muslim non-Arabs, but its meaning is a lot like ‘bless his heart’ in the Southern United States. It can be sincere or sardonic / sarcastic,…

Not in the medical field, but he looked obviously in distress and sincerely struggling to me. Whatever he wanted, he does not look strong in that video. You can see it plainly. In fact, he looks weaker than I expected.
