Erm, read the actual Atlantic article. If I remember it correctly (as it’s been two years since I read it), another of the issues the author raised about the data is that we have no idea if those seventeenth and eighteenth century women in their 30s and 40s were still trying to get pregnant, or were actively trying to

Probably. I started worrying about it when I was around 25, and then, I hit 30 and decided i didn’t want kids anyway, so I’m over it now, and I pretty much worry about everything. Like, I worry that my car will blow up when I turn the key.

I feel like we should get Jim Carrey to weigh in on Amanda’s fertility concerns.

What does it mean to flash your “Casper”?

Don’t worry; she made herself feel better afterward by checking out some James Baldwin books, cause reading a guy who wouldn’t have even been allowed inside the building when he was alive makes it all okay.

Thank you. What a bunch of pointless, anti-climactic navel gazing with absolutely nothing interesting to say. It reads like a college freshman’s first semester essay.

Interview people going in and out of the restaurant. Do a highlight/review of other BBQ restaurants in the surrounding area. Instead, she went and paid and ate, and purchased a meal for someone who didn’t even go with her? I’m not really sure what the point is?

Wow, do you think so? I thought it was MFA nightmare writing.

You’re actually dead now and commenting from the ether. - Jim Carrey

I am more confused as to how all these women wound up in federal. I get that Chapman was involved in an international drug ring, but I’m supposed to believe that Flaca’s High School Acid Paper Scam crossed state lines? Nicky’s drug habit? Cindy’s thefts? Hell, most of what Trisha did could be summed up as shoplifting.

I think this show’s always been contrived (or, as my friend says, “too precious.”) Sometimes it annoys me but usually I think that’s part of its charm. It’s, like, magical realism lite, and I looooooove magical realism.

Preach girl. That got me as well. No boy from the Pennsatucky area knows how to respect a woman. Let alone how to make her come.

Aren’t they in a federal prison? You don’t typically go there for murder or manslaughter, unless you kill a federal agent or mailman or something.

More realistic than Pennsatucky’s magical perfect teenage (?) boyfriend of respect and orgasms.

What is especially amazing about this story is that Winton had no connection to the government and no relevant work experience that should have helped him do this. He wasn’t a diplomat. He didn’t live in Prague. He was just a guy who heard that there was a crisis, took 2 weeks off from work, and rescued 669 people.

R.I.P.

Who is more easily bought/tricked/scared/talked into supporting faulty science: the entire population of legitimate medical professionals and scientists tasked with exploring this issue, or a few crazy celebrities and conspiracy theorists?

It’s a real toss-up, I know. Jim Carrey’s making a lot of sense what with his

Ugh... people make the toxin argument and I hear stuff like this:

he reached a stage where he qualified to play both roles in”Dumb and Dumber”.

What frustrates me the most is that Jim and his ilk are basically saying that they prefer children to die of preventable diseases than risk children getting autism (which they won’t).
