I figure employees of GM may not be able to simply switch employers but this policy is so fucking dumb, I would never work for a company so fucking petty.

I’ll tell you what it is.

But Aukey was still better than the random Chinese market-flood stuff. But maybe because of the Chinese renamed market flood crap, their stuff was getting pushed out by people just buying the cheapest bulk stuff they could grab.

Or the review indicates just how incompetent that person is, or that they didn’t read the actual description.

“Go read the one- and two-star reviews to check a product’s potential deficiencies . . .”

Steve’s built up so much immunity that the coronavirus is afraid of catching a case of him.

I was taught in grammar school in the 70's that “they” was used in cases where you wanted/need to be gender-neutral. I’m really surprised at how many people skipped this lesson.

this is kinda good to me because it confirms if Cotton or Hawley are going to resonate with the Cultists and use that Cult 45 “mojo” to get nominated in 2024, they are going to have seriously dumb down their rhetoric, because there is no way the average mouth-breather Trump fan understood more than 60% of what he said.

It’s likely to reduce transmission -- if your immune system is attacking the virus before it can infect your cells, then they’re not going to be hijacked to produce more copies of the virus, so the viral load shed by your lungs is going to go down. To what degree, they don’t know yet, but there will almost certainly…

Yep, you’re still contributing to the overall goal of vaccinating everybody, even if the timing is off. 

It’s not true that it “does not at all prevent the transmission of the virus whatsoever.”

I was offered the vaccine through work and you’re damn right I accepted, for the exact reasons you stated. I can’t control who it goes to if I decline. And the vaccine is only effective when mostly everybody gets it. Might as well get it out of the way early if I can.

I just wanted to add some perspective. I think this phrase runs right through some politispeech.

Weird, you must not be paying attention (chances are higher that you’re actually a Nazi who doesn’t care), because all of those things did happen. And they’re being reported by multiple media outlets. 

This isn’t who we should be. Leadership should get away from the mealy mouthedness and say it clearly: This is not who I want to be, and you shouldn’t either.

and this

These parties celebrate a baby’s gender as their primary identifying characteristic—after all, we know very little else about them at that point.

If they were really that anxious to find out, they’d let the doctor tell them instead of taking a sealed envelope to the bakery/color bomb factory/plane pilot. They’re taking advantage of another excuse to have a party. Whatever. Just don’t kill your mom or burn half the state down.

While I think gender reveal parties are really fucking stupid, the primary reason why we didn’t find out the sex of any of our childrenis that the traditional “gender reveal” of your child, i.e. the doctor in the hospital room saying “it’s a girl!!” is one of life’s few remaining great surprises. I get that people are…

I revealed my gender at a party once. It...didn't go well.
