Your family may need higher standards for work places.

Pharma is still developing antimicrobials. It’s just that there’s not as much money in it (versus cancer drugs, for which the sky’s the limit on prices), so the drug pipeline’s not as full as it needs to be.

Paolo Bacigalupi’s “The Windup Girl” is prophecy.

Agribusiness has absolutely no problem cooking up superior diseases as a by-product of their business, they’ll have absolutely no problem creating them on purpose. 

Anytime someone places more value on a label than on another person’s life, that is a tragedy.

So, forget the fact that Pete’s father was killed in a very tragic and traumatic event, and that kind of shock changes the dynamics of surviving family members like him and his mom.

Well, and the part that I find so toxic (I shudder to use this word, but it seems apt) about the attitude is how it displays this obsession with Davidson—and presumably this is supposed to hold for the average dude—demonstrating worthiness for female attention entirely through material means. And then we turn around…

It’s been proven that strong family ties are incredible boosters for mental health and a long life.

I think it’s a particularly stupid American idea that everyone needs to waste their money on housing in order to prove their worth as good little capitalists. That I have to be defensive and have an excuse for it to be OK for me to live with my mom is absurd. I would live with my mom even if I didn’t have this mental…

I really really thought we’d put all that “living with your parents is super lame” thing behind us already. There are so many valid reasons why people choose to live with their parents!

At what point are we allowed to mention that Pete Davidson is constantly being bullied and this is shitty? Duder is hella mentally ill and doesn’t seem like a bad person and I kinda hate the way he keeps getting publicly shit on and think he could legit kill himself as someone with two suicide attempts Of my own I…

Should I point out that Pete has a serious mental illness, and that living with a parent is maybe not the worst/most pathetic idea for an employed, single adult who struggles with suicidal ideation and other self-harm issues? No? We’re going to continue making fun of everything this person does, even though he’s…

So what? Maybe he likes his mom? Maybe she keeps him grounded. I truly think that people who haven’t lost a parent can’t understand how much that experience makes you value the one you have left.

That sounds insanely stressful. What if you break it, or it wakes up and speaks with the voice of an eldritch horror, or it grows older and you have to explain global warming?

This is why we can’t have any thing on the Net. It has given “people” like Boremid the power to affect people’s lives just cause they don’t like what that person does. The thought of maybe getting off of social media and not looking at it apparently never entered their mind, oh no we have to ruin other people’s lives…

You know, as a designer myself, I was at first thrilled to see this headline. How cool that someone not in the field even noticed! But it’s just a boring, thinly veiled hit piece on a longshot candidate based on... what, exactly? The fact that Buttigeig doesn’t have policy ready years in advance? That he thought…

At this point, the only logical thing I can come up with is that the entire staff at Splinter has agreed to a suicide pact, and will kill themselves if anyone but Bernie wins the nomination.

I’ve realized that today, too. There’s clearly a pre-formed determination to shit on anyone who isn’t Bernie, I guess? I mean this writer is over here snarking about font for fuck’s sake.

I remember Columbine clearly. I was in seventh grade and all I could think was, who would want to shoot up a school, and why? Could it happen here?

Am I the only one that has no real problem with a candidate lacking policy specifics in April 2019?

Honestly, I can’t help but notice that you seem to have some really negative opinions formed about Buttigieg. It makes this analysis feel less like an actual examination of his branding, and more like just a snarky attempt at a take down piece. I mean this with respect, but it’s a little difficult to engage you as a…
