Years ago, I chopped my hair and got a pixie cut. It wasn’t really on impulse, I’d wanted it short for a while. A few years ago I started growing it back out. Then the election happened. For months I felt more deeply depressed than I ever had before. I had a trim scheduled on inauguration day, and said to my stylist,…

Health conditions can be contributing factors that trigger disordered eating which if left unchecked can become a full blown disorder. My twin worked for years at an eating disorder recovery clinic. Most patients have other physical or mental health concerns that actually cause there disorder. He may well be an addict…

It is possible for the underlying condition of the hernia to have caused his eating to become disordered which ultimately lead to a full blown eating disorder. My twin worked for years at an eating disorder recovery clinic and this sort of thing does happen. Not all eating disorders begin because of body image,…

Yes, his health condition is a contributing factor that lead to disordered eating which ultimately lead to a full blown eating disorder. It’s not the hernia itself, that’s an underlying condition.

He’s not blaming the hernia for his weight, he’s saying the hernia is a contributing factor to his eating disorder. Sometimes health conditions like that can indeed cause disordered eating which can result in weight loss like we see here. My twin worked as a social worker at an eating disorder clinic until very…

There’s next to no one who is calling for Clinton to run again in 2020.

Yeah. In my legislative district, Sanders folks won the majority of executive board positions for our local democratic party... and all they’re interested in doing is complaining that the old guard “shut them out” prior to this, demanding that we cater our message entirely to the rural white voters in our state,…

I think you’re partially right, but with Beyonce I think it’s less about her actual music and more about her crazy good marketing. She’s done a helluva a job creating a demand for herself - not her music, but her as a brand. She has the vocal chops and she knows how to put on a performance, but more than anything she…

Cause of the roadtrip and such, I’m thinking 15 or 16...

You can issue preemptive pardons, I think

There’s also a difference between “wanting to” and “attempting to” and since this meeting actually took place on the premise that the campaign would receive damning info on Clinton illegally obtained by a foreign government, that’s an attempt, not just a want. It’s not like he was just sitting around going “boy oh boy…

I live in Seattle. We’re liberal, sure, but we’re very very white. We are not immune from racism, this is not even close to the first racially charged incident involving our police. We’ve had a tech boom that has gentrified our neighborhoods, furthered the wealth discrepency, and brought a whole bunch of white bros…

Yeah, my twin is gender neutral and my parents are struggling to adjust and this whole piece just smacks of judgement. Don’t judge families dealing with transition if you’ve never been through it. It’s complicated. Doesn’t mean there’s a lack of love and support.

Yeah I know that movie but I had no idea that he directed it.

The attacks hurt her because as Home Secretary she presided over crippling cuts to the police force.

She kinda has to do what she’s told by parliament, actually. She’s ceremonial figurehead and she can certainly make her displeasure known but if parliament says it’s happening, then it’s happening.

Doesn’t matter, what matters is th were talking about Russia’s tactics to interference in other countries affairs and how they were using them in the us election. And joking about the Trump/Putin connection indicates awareness of at the very least an optics problem. They knew full well their guy would at least appear…

The person who can fire special counsel is the deputy attorney general not the AG. And by statute, special counsel can only be terminated for cause or at the completion of the investigation and congress has to be notified. Independent counsel would be better, but special counsel is pretty good.

Obama would have apologized without prompting. He certainly wouldn’t have ignored the kid’s first “excuse me.”

I thought the same thing. People calling this kid a brat are a) harsh and b) have no experience with people on the spectrum. Not to say that people on the spectrum can’t be brats, but this kid was clearly taught you’re supposed to apologize if you bumb someone and that applies to everyone.
