I second this. I played drums in middle and the beginning of high school, and kick myself for quitting. I quit for such a dumb reason too (I didn’t want to play outside because I have a disability that makes being in the heat very difficult. The school could definitely excused me.).

So, I have been hospitalized several times, and during one recent trip, they removed my catheter (eek!) and put on a condom catheter. It is exactly as you probably imagine, it looks like a regular condom with a tube at the end leading to a collection bag. I had never heard of or seen one before, but thought it had to…

What’s funny is the licensing exam for psychologists, the EPPP, does NOT allow open book. The people who say, hey, memorization of facts is not actually learning, does not allow open book. Even worse, this test is ridiculously hard and test over things that you will likely never use as a clinician. It has one of the…

Hey, I’m not going to be one of those folks that tells you need to end it with this person, but after counseling countless couples, I have learned that if two people do not share the same values, they fall into major contempt for each other and soon hit the other Four Horsemen in toxic relationships (Google Gottman…

Well, there’s a zero tolerance for killing POCs indiscriminately, but we see how well cops follow that rule and keep their jobs. 

I’ve been to New Orleans a few times, and the last time I went was right after the raids. It was also the last time I visited a strip club in the French Quarter (and the first time in almost ~15-16 years, I’m 38 now). Needless to say, I got an interesting New Orleans civics lesson regarding the LATC from a stripper who…

It’s heart breaking. I would love to be back on campus. I love being on a college campus because I love working with college kids. I really do love my job. But this exec is making it really difficult to stay positive. She casually crashes our staff meetings, and over the summer just said some really dumb and ignorant…

One exec at the university I work at in the counseling center is pretty much demanding that the counselors work on campus to provide therapy to students in person. That means sit in a tiny room with a possibly asymptomatic college student who may be making poor life decisions in general and hope that my PPE is…

As ridiculous as the plane (and the soup BS) that comes from orange Furer’s mouth is, my mother and other people in my own family eat that shit up and cannot be swayed now matter what.

A man wearing Longhorns sweatpants, possibly from Texas, yelling about his rights in the faces of women of color...  seems about White, I mean right. 

I have never had sympathy for her, because I think she always saw the writing on the wall: keep distance from these assholes and people may be convinced that I am not as big of an assholes as them. She was playing the long-game... or so I thought, then she spoke at RNC.
What the hell do I know?

Seconded.

I’m not a huge fan of the whole re-make everything, but I am somewhat interested in this. I loved the original, and have found Will Smith and Kevin Hart can be really funny when given the right material. I think it helps that Aeysha Carr, a writer from Brooklyn 99, is also involved on this.

Your anecdote about getting those Columbia House tapes brought back a lot of memories for me.

The advice is still sound. I picked them not just for the rate, but no fees and no minimums, and seemed to get good ratings on different websites.

Word.
I opened a high yield account with Marcus, and it was the highest at the time around 2%.  It’s now down to 1.3% with two of the last drops occurring within the last month. Despite the drops, it’s about the same as the others. 

I’m actually really torn on this. Do police use excessive and violent force that is a public danger? Yes, and they should be held accountable. Are there a shit ton of racist cops who get off on making lives miserable for folks? Yes. And fuck them.

I keep up with Kentucky politics because I am a former Kentuckian, and it’s easy to see that Beshear has been a model leader during this whole pandemic crisis. Jezebel should go talk to that guy. People seriously talk about him being presidential material. 

Damn, why drag SNL into American Idol level of crap?

I actually just started playing through BOTW again in Master Mode, and enjoying every minute of it.
