Mostly it’s the “rare” part. It comes down to framing. More strident abortion advocates should say “rarity” shouldn’t matter.

“Yogurt Does Not Expire” said Patient Zero, a few days before eating month old Yoplait, ingesting a toxic mold that went straight to her brain and caused her to become a flesh eating zombie.

I’m a dude who really loves his red meat, is really good with a grill and a smoker, and reading about this diet horrifies me.

There’s a reason that hard cheese was a favored travel food and ration material if you could get your hands on it for thousands of years. The outer layer of hard cheese is an efficient storage container. A little bit of water won’t hurt it, and even if it gets dirty, you just scrape it away.

Ah, that’s a good one.  I’ve sort of lost interest in the NFL of late so I don’t see all the cases.  What’s a little light kicking between friends if the guy is still young enough to be an effective running back for several more years?

Don’t look now but a lot of those same brands are well on their way to doing to the current wave of nu-Anti-Racism what they did to the 70s and 80s wave of neo-conservatism.

I’d also say there are racist ways to address those broad truths, and not racist ways to address them.

As a black person, I think the creative class, both black and white who focuses on this “Black Pain” trope, should all be required to read James Baldwin before writing about “Black Pain”. And if they come back and still want their white person analog to be a race of literal blood sucking villains, have them go back…

I care more about due process in this stuff than most people here probably, but yeah, when you’ve got multiple accusers with similar stories and the abuser can’t really definitively refute even one of them ... I’m all for a court of public opinion verdict and think their career should be toast.

That’s not “Disparate Impact”. Disparate Impact isn’t strictly about decision making processes and knowledge. It’s also about demonstrating that a given piece of information has no value in the decision making process when you measure other variables.

One would hope that the magic number for teams being willing to treat a franchise quarterback as toxic would be under 22.

I think it depends where you look. I live north of Dallas County, and appointments were harder to find. I did get one scheduled, but it took a few days of looking at various portals before I lucked in to one for this Thursday.

Victims don’t always volunteer that information either. They frequently don’t.

You’re grossly overestimating the intelligence of Jezebel’s writers and the commenters defending this anti-science rant.

What part of “it’s a limited tool that doctors shouldn’t really need if they are actually evaluating an individual patient.” is unclear? A doctor evaluating your individual circumstances can and should be aware of things like your workout regimen and your history of eating disorders and account for that when making…

I can think of a couple people I know, personally, off the top of my head who are overweight by BMI and very healthy.

Agree with the final objective of what you’re aiming for, but the whole “Screening” thing seems like an odd way to respond to them.

Maybe the editors just need to be willing to let her try and then just do their jobs?I don’t think they have a moral obligation to put up with a pattern of glaring omissions, errors and misstatements/lies because of someone’s background but give her a chance to see if that emerges for chrissakes.

BMI are presented so definitively and yet are so arbitrary

BMI is complete bullshit,
