Foreign Affairs is really the ONLY thing the President has complete power over as far as the enumerated powers in the constitution goes. Everything else gets vetted in checks and balances. Hands down, she is the ONLY candidate period with foreign policy experience, and that is why I believe we need her.

I am very sorry for your loss.

There is an analogue to SIDS in adults. It is rare, but healthy adults with no history of drug use can die in their sleep with no known cause other than that it’s natural. I know someone who’s son died at 22 from the “syndrome” with no drugs in his system, no health issues, no known reasons other than that “sometimes…

He’s a comedic actor. His tweets are usually sarcastic/sardonic.

Pretty normal for inheritances. My grandfather was pretty wealthy and put money in trusts for all of his children and grandchildren (to avoid taxes), with the caveat that no one could touch the money before they turned 35. So far only one grandchild is old enough to have gotten it, and she used the not-very-much to…

So I appreciate your appreciation - but that’s kind of the issue, right? She is clearly not Hollywood actress size (old Jez used to ban numbers, and actually this whole thread - talking about someone’s looks at all was considered a worthless contribution) and has said her weight, which is actually about 40-50 lbs more…

I just got some novocaine shots. I got them out two years ago at 24 and it took about twenty minutes total, but the surgeon gave me some shots and a xanax and I listened to music to cover the sound of the drill and the scraping. It didn’t hurt at all until two hours later, when it proceeded to hurt more and more and…

She’s so great. I’ve seen her live a few times, and she’s always so funny and so good. Not only does she have amazing songwriter talent, her voice is so lush.

NOT mental illness. Do not jump to conclusions like that, as they are incredibly damaging. She may very well have some mental health issues, but that’s definitely not what’s going on here.

I studied abroad in Africa. We had one boy. The year before us had two boys. The year after us had no boys. But the England program was 50/50 and the Italy program was 40/60. Part of the issue also seemed to be that other programs had classes that could count to particular majors, and my program did not. In fact, I…

I was also 11, also a native New Yorker, also my first week of sixth grade.

You actually can’t dose heroin, which is why it’s so dangerous. Unlike pretty much any other drug, you never know how much you will get when you shoot up. That’s why they give you morphine, or fentanyl, or even tylenol when you’re at the hospital - and why people take methadone. Methadone is just dosed out heroin,…

I was at a memorial service for a client and her nephew stood up and commenced on giving a 45 minute speech about how he had only met this aunt once when he was twelve, but that he has managed to finally get clean from drug use. It was one of the most surreal and inappropriate things I have encountered at any funeral.

I worked a block away from Times Square for two years and my subway stop necessitated I get off at 43rd and 7th. I stand by the idea that one of the main reasons I decided to leave my family/friends and move to D.C. was because that daily commute had burnt me out so badly I just needed to get the hell away.

Me neither. It really is quite upsetting, considering I obviously did not know these people in real life.

I’m pretty sure that any outrage is unwarranted until they can be sure that customers were actually applying it properly. To the man with the sunburn on his head - you reported you used SPF 30 and got the sunburn after an hour. The SPF is how long you have sun protection for - 30 is for 30 minutes. You have to…

There was totally a comment thread on another article about UnREAL that was talking about switching the meds and someone weighed in and said they used to be a PA on a competition show along the same veins back when all the channels had shows like that, and while they would never tamper with meds, they would more than…

I feel really stupid. I just made a new burner, partially because I couldn’t figure out how to sign in on my old account after logging out in frustration from stupid replies I kept getting, and also partially because I thought something was wrong with my old account because I couldn’t star anything. So now I’m stuck…

I hear you. A caveat being that most mannequins are relatively tall. It is unusual for women over 5’4” (the average height in the US) who are not models to be a true (aka “bridal”) size 2. UK sizes are truer to US bridal sizes, so a UK 6 is more equivalent to a bridal 2 than a J.Crew 2. So the issue is less calling…
