I think you’re not really grasping the size of the rooftop. Or how much it’s sectioned out.

But they may have not lost all the future business that they’re going to lose due to the lack of respect.

Yeah, I’ve been to this bar. I don’t think people were being callous. I think they had no clue. The bar rooftop is large with lots of little separate “areas.” That said, I don't know why the bar itself wouldn't close. I don't blane the people drinking who were most likely oblivious. I blame the management.

Yes, it only protects against some of the higher risks strains. And, most often, your body will clear the HPV virus on its own and HPV won’t cause precancerous or cancerous cells. The virus usually is no big deal and you never know you have it. Most often, if you get regular paps, you will detect abnormal cells before…

I got it at, I think, 27 and paid out of pocket. I’ve heard there’s anecdotal evidence that the vaccine can help clear the infection if you already have it. And, anecdotally, I had HPV when I got the vaccine and I no longer do (according to DNA test each time, I never had an abnormal pap, but I had asked my doctor to…

Counterpoint: My Dad was the one who taught me to braid my hair.

No Felicity? :(

I actually had no idea it wasn’t still an accepted use for treating ingestion of poisons. I’m an 80s baby too and was never given it, but it makes sense to me that inducing vomiting could help. Wikipedia tells me it was like 2003-2005 when people started issuing studies showing it wasn’t that effective and production…

Ah, no, Westchester, but same deal.

I love yogurt and eating it keeps my vagina happy so...

I keep wondering if we went to the same high school because this sounds like my town. Great public schools, but quite a large wage gap. We had mega-mansions in some parts of town and public housing apartments in others. Predominately Jewish area. But good representation of black and latino kids too.

I feel like, like sex, the discussion of money with your children should progress according to age-appropriateness. I feel like there’s no reason to discuss money with young children. Whether you are poor or rich should probably be shielded from them to the greatest extent possible. By the time they are teens,…

Thank goodness for the internet.

Anyone else suspect hoax? I mean the posters name is literally “sockpuppet” and they have one post on Metafilter. Hm.

I get that too with my stepmom. Who is Puerto Rican. I am white. “Yes, we do look just alike!”

I think since we discovered penicillin! Though I think that’s one of the antibiotics it’s now resistant to.

For gonorrhea, yes, time to update your knowledge! It is treatable. It’s a bacterial infection that goes away with antibiotics, similar to chlamydia. What you may have heard is that there are antibiotic resistant strains out there, which is true. It used to be *more* easily treated, but there are still antibiotics out…

Herpes and gonherrea are both easily treatable. Gonorrhea, like chlamydia, is a bacterial infection and you take some antibiotics and it’s gone. Herpes is a virus and will remain in your system (like chicken pox, which is actually a strain of herpes), but doesn’t usually affect day to day life. It often will be…

Right. Like awesome that she’s actually prosecuting cops that commit crimes. But I’m not really on board with biases in favor of the prosecution. I cringed at celebrating her 80% conviction rate. I don’t know the details of all those stories and I’m sure many of those were for crimes I’d want to see people punished…

I’m firmly in the “white people can’t *use* that word” camp, but I’m not in the “white people can’t speak that word” camp. Like, white people cannot use that word to call someone a friend or, obviously, to insult people. But I see no problem with white people saying the word to talk about the word’s existence, its…
