His grasp of economics is so truly awful.

I’m a paramedic, I deny no one care, as do the nurses and doctors I work with, regardless of how they came to their injury. Big macs everyday and a pack of Marlboros leading to your heart attack doesn’t get you denial of care. That said, this guy needs to be placed on a psychiatric hold for his suicide attempts, so we…

After seeing how far away the take-off spot was, the only thing that surprises me is that he got as close as he did.

This is one of the very rare circumstances where I look at a situation and say “I can’t believe my premiums are indirectly supporting this fucking idiot.”

One of my weirder one night stands involved dancing with a girl for about five minutes before last call, buying her a shot because I was below the minimum on my card, and then taking her home. The next morning as we’re lying naked under the covers she says “This is going to sound awkward but.. I don’t remember your…

They use that in the third act.

But Lena Dunham is the victim here! Somehow. She has to the be the victim or her whole worldview will explode.

Lest we remind you that it was JEZEBEL that couldn’t get enough of Dunham when her show first premiered. I and many others kept commenting that she was over-rated as fuck and no one at Jezebel would listen.

I mean, I’m an environmentalist but I think a basic rule of thumb that people forget is that ANYTHING you do to manipulate nature has unintended consequences. Its just how the system works.

I love that they think it’s a virtue that they have a “commitment to engage positively” WITH THE FUCKING REGULATORY BODY FOR THEIR INDUSTRY. They really do seem to believe that they can choose whether or not the regulations apply to them.

You know what you learn by staying in school and getting proper training on how to do bench or clinical research? Get fucking IRB approval before you do anything!

This. You have to consult with an IRB even for some types of social-science research; for example, if you’re asking sensitive personal questions in surveys or interviews. The idea that the CEO of a medical research company wouldn’t know this is ridiculous. Then again, we’re talking about Elizabeth Holmes, who doesn’t…

What type of cutting-edge billion dollar company doesn’t know about the IRB requirement? Any medical student knows you can’t study humans without one.

I’m not saying I’m against the product, but I come here for some sort of scientific explanation, not just shameless pandering. They could have at least explained what it is and how it works other than “just a spray”.

Well, she sure does walk the walk.

You could maybe just watch the video for that.
