From what I understand the brain condition also shows up as profligate spending and poor impulse control in other areas of a person's life. It does not, for example, allow someone the judgement to wait until the elevator doors have closed and they have a reasonable expectation of no witnesses to attack their spouse.

Burt, if you ever come up to San Francisco, I would very much like to be informed so that I can take you and Mark out to brunch, OK?

It's lower than the national average, but significantly higher than what you would expect for individuals in the same income bracket. Also consider that arrest records do not correlate directly with participation in criminal activities.

Every story I hear about her just confirms that she is magnificent. I'm so glad you got to meet her <3

A lot of the people complaining the loudest are people who have the worst understanding of how these things work; and also they seem to have auto-download turned on, so it *was* pushed automatically to their devices, either over cellular or as soon as they got to wi-fi, depending on how they had (forgotten they had…

Your username is exceptional

It's a wall-sit. Adding the swiss ball between the wall and your back makes your abs fire. (You can see hers doing it, actually, in the next shot.) The medicine ball held out front is to shift your center of gravity and add weight; try it without the medicine ball first.

Since Nasim is is leaving, they clearly need another woman to play "misc. ethnic" in sketches, too - and they can't just hire another woman of color, that'd be crazy.

It's a little weird to me that you're invoking Bolton's Bastard on the side of justice here... he would have applauded their initiative, if not their failure. The guy is horrifying.

You will never get a straight answer to this, because part of what marks San Francisco's identity is an inability to be content. Where other cities have problems they merely accept, San Francisco is ashamed of theirs and points them out as a failing; there is a fundamental belief that these problems not only should be…

Really? See, I love Kate especially because she's walking this horrid line of literally meeting all of the conflicting expectations western society throws at women. The comments on any article about her are a perfect microcosm for it: She's too slutty (skirt flew up, she obviously wanted everyone to see), she's too…

Nope; legit interested, although I have no apparent reason to be. My interests include: history, politics, fashion, archaic traditions, etiquette, and trivia. A certain amount of royal-watching lies at the intersection of a number of these (and a few others) on a venn diagram, so... I enjoy the hell out of it, even…

See, no. I grew up in Texas, and my school district had no restrictions on hair length whatsoever, for anyone. There were some rules about facial hair grooming, but plenty of the guys had long hair because they could.

I realize the day after an article is published is kinda late for a comment to get any notice, but here goes: if you buy things from Amazon, you can designate a charity through the Amazon Smile program, and .5% of the price of your purchases will be donated to your charity. Planned Parenthood is never going to be one…

I concur, but look at the *extreme* blurring on the inner right thigh. Especially with the overall feel of this image, I don't think you can judge her physical conditioning from it; it's been 'shopped to hell.

What happens if your sexual desire is, say... mutual and self respect? Does that get him stuck in an infinite recursion?

No, I don't think it's racist. Whenever I learn a new language, my brain files words in slightly different places, even if they theoretically translate directly. That's a big part of why language diversity is so important; concepts don't translate exactly the same way.

Anyway, enjoy some relevant Hollie McNish:

Yup. He seems self-aware, honest, and up front with his expectations. When I was doing online dating (which is how I met my husband) he would have absolutely gone into the "meet in person for coffee" category.

I'm attracted to my fellow wonks, though, and very few of us present particularly well in these sort of…

I didn't think it was a spoiler so much - I've just been REALLY looking forward to that character making an appearance (and my enthusiasm has made it the hardest thing to keep secret from my non-book-reading friends - I'm looking forward to their reactions.) So my hopes were just raised rather high and then dashed…
