The question is whether it has to be this way or is simply this way because “this way” was developed at a time when people didn’t consider the possibility that aspiring doctors would also want to be involved in their family life.

We lose people when we don’t accommodate human realities. If you assume that aptitude for…

And sometimes children just happen. Maybe we should be better at helping each other succeed.

Except, it’s only women who suffer from having children during this time period. Men can have all the kids they want, because the whole field and process is built around their biological realities and the assumption they have a wifey at home to take care of everything else.

I actually can’t believe more police departments seem unaware of this. If you fuck up your community relations, it’s going to be much harder for you to do your job. You need your community to be willing to work with you if you’re actually going to attempt to solve crimes or whatever. Of course, it seems less and less…

I think your previous point of “something is not aligning upstairs” is the key. She needs serious help but she doesn’t understand how serious this has become because she has some great enablers.

This is so uncomfortable. He is obviously wasted and fully aware of his “celebrity”. Gross.

That’s what everyone said to the Duke Lacrosse team, or the UVA frat guys, or Conor Oberst or the Central Park Five, or.... When you’re innocent, nothing bad can happen to you. Right?

Women generally only make those accusations when they’re true.

My boss was so physically in our paralegal’s space all the time that she started having anxiety attacks at work. One day, she went outside to “make a phone call” and boss walked from his office all the way in the back to stare at her outside the big windows in the front. Just literally lurking in the plate glass…

If people hate you that much then maybe you’re the problem. Also, women don’t just dream up harassment claims.

So you walk around with this belief that there are a significant number of women who will lie to HR to get you fired for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

What happened to Bill O’Reilly or Harvey Weinstein wasn’t a “mere” accusation. It was multiple repeated accusations and all sorts of people coming out of the woodwork to talk about it. It was a pattern. Yes, somebody can take something you do the wrong way, sure, it’s a possibility. These careers are ending because of…

No, we aren’t in those positions; our positions are infinitesimally worse. So no, we frankly aren’t going to to bother “looking at it from this perspective”, because we don’t feel sorry for you.

Also? As a woman?

Voyager has some bonkers plotlines and character beats and I’m interested to see how the show handles them.

I really like Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea highlighter palette...and I wasn’t at all annoyed that it went on sale right after I bought it. Admittedly I am sort of iffy on highlighter because I have oily skin and half the time I would get the same effect if I just put on my foundation and wait. :p

I hated my body even when I was 18 and stick thin. We are trained to hate our current bodies no matter what state we’re in, and I always look back at old pictures and wonder why because I looked fine if not great. So I try to remember that one day in the future I’ll appreciate my body, so why not appreciate it now?…

There is a silver one though, right? It is my hope as a pale lady.

A very casual acquaintance knows her (went to college together) and she’s only said a little bit about Ms. McLauglin...but this has devastated her entire life and family. I hope she wins.

Really, that’s the scary thing about her... her gusto for the job. For the lying. She doesn’t stammer and bumble like Spicer, because she doesn’t have to stop and think about it, she’s already got the Master’s lines locked down.
