Ugh, I know! The "there's no body, there's no murder weapon, so this is a missing persons case" is so dismissive and arrogant, it makes my blood boil. I can't help but think he would have treated the situation differently if it were the wealthy man who went missing, rather than just his wife.

And the Gift of Fear! Most important book I've ever read. It made me take those signs seriously in a way I'd never considered before.

Thanks for that, and I'm glad your brother was okay. The explained that way, the statistic makes more sense. Just as a standalone, it sounds alarmingly high.

"It is the media's fault for not continuing to curb licentiousness as it did! You know, Ye Olde Oppressive Media of yore. Also, dudes have been painting nude women for centuries, so how is this any different? And furthermore, we should always do everything as it was done in the past because no one ever made mistakes!"

Wait. 8,000 children went missing in 2013 in New York City alone? That can't be right, or at least, not the whole story.

Makes me think it's a play on "murdering pussy" which is even less sexy.

Not even Native Americans walked around Manhattan barefoot. At least not Manhattan in its current state.

that's so uncomfortable, it's making my butt tingle. In a bad way.

And I bet not a single one of those guys would self-identify as sexist. They're only kidding, and it's our fault for taking them seriously.

I more meant what's wrong with the position of some women saying essentially that abortion is not right for them, but they don't oppose other women doing it.

If anyone here takes their medical advice from Gandhi, I would really like to give you some sound financial advice. I, random internet commenter with a burner account, would like to be your money manager!

For 30 years my uncle has treated his ADD with Coca Cola. It gave him diabetes, but he's never been more focused!

I am copying this wholesale from someone else's comment, but it breaks it down perfectly.

Only if we could also regulate that the unvaccinated not share any common air with anyone else, and that they don't touch any of our stuff.

I guess I see it. I couldn't see "The Dress" either. Everyone was talking about it and I was like, "What dress, guys?"

I don't get what's so wrong with that position. Isn't that the very definition of exercising choice?

That is really appalling. How can you (one) really be that myopic?

WAIT. WHAT IF SHE'S PREGNANT WITH THE BABY JESUS.

When my OB urged me to go to the ER in the middle of the night for what might have been a blood clot, it was because they looooove blood clots and always want to see them up close! They lined the hallways, chanting, "BLOOD CLOT! BLOOD CLOT! BLOOD CLOT!" as I triumphantly jogged past them.

That sounds very true and not at all made up! I can think of literally no complications that might arise in pregnancy or childbirth that are dangerous to the mother.
