Is there a reason this can't read "Japanese Student" or "Japanese Teenager"? This isn't a fucking manga, it's a real human being who was horribly murdered. Jesus.

I hate this. Would you have said Canadian Schoolgirl? Come on.

Well, he clearly wanted his catfish to taste a lot cattier, ok?

It's kind of distressing to me, though, that 3 month old anything would be even next to the food in a salad bar.

To your point, I was recently at a brunch party where grapes were laid out on the table. They were clearly partly decoration but also food and I assumed they were there for consumption. The waitress yelled at me for eating them because they were decoration and not washed. I just kind of shrugged. It was a stupid…

I live in the UK now and 'jalapeño' is constantly mispronounced. I feel I have to give these folks a little slack, as Spanish is not spoken anywhere near the extent it is in the US, but it is annoying. I think my favourite example are the UK Subway sandwiches commercials that universally mispronounce it.

I remember not knowing what cauliflower was. It was served in a veggie dish and I was like "what the hell??" because my family never served it.

In fairness to the construction workers, it seems rather unfair to place food-like substance on the salad bar that's not for eating.

Just to clear this up, here's my disclaimer: "I in no way condone: drinking while driving, handling guns while drinking, handling babies while drinking, handling babies while handling guns, handling babies and guns while drinking, keeping babies in shitty diapers, waiting for Mom to change shitty diapers, sharing…

Not directly relevant to this case, but related- even scarier is the tendency to suddenly pull the "patient doesn't have capacity" as soon as the patient doesn't do what the hospital wants. Sickening. At the risk of sounding like I am wearing a tin foil hat, hospitals appear to be the new arm of the police state.

As a 34-weeks preggers lady, this shit gives me literal nightmares. I trust my OB, but it definitely seems like hospitals are VERY quick to pull the "it's a medical emergency!" card and slap you in surgery before you even know what's happening. Because c-sections are seen as a one-size-fits-all fix for any problem,…

Does it matter? Her body, her choice does not stop just because she is in labor. A patient should always have the right to consent or not consent to a medical procedure. I'm firmly in the pro-vax camp but that doesn't appt I this case. An argument with vaxes can be made for the greater good because of the need for…

This is so entirely a different thing. I can't adequately describe how different this is. There are reams and reams of data showing c-sections are overused, are used against the woman's wishes and have more complications than people appreciated for a long time. It's major surgery. As opposed to vaccines on which…

I'm actually a l&d nurse and would definitely quit my job before participating in something like that. I know all my coworkers would feel the same way.

I agree that it's a dangerous decision after 3 previous c-sections. But if a woman comes into your hospital in labor you cannot legally deny care. You also cannot legally hog-tie her and do a surgery without consent. So, this is where written consents come into play... I'm super uncomfortable with this trend of…

"perform cesarean surgery on her "with or without [her] consent" if she came to the hospital."

That women should have a little respect for her Doctor, Her vaginal birth has a good chance of interfering with his golf game. Pregnant women are so selfish, they act like giving birth is all about them and their babies.

Maybe they're both mixed race (but appear white), so for them it wasn't actually choosing a different race.

And higher still is the divorce rate of people who start cohabiting when one wants to get married and the other doesn't, and they cohabit as a compromise, and then get married down the line. Planning to test it out, if both partners are serious about both cohabiting and then marrying, is beneficial to the length of…

Well said.
