Yeah, the military is the most socialist of institutions: free housing, health care and education. Not that it shouldn’t be the case, but it is ironic the so many on the right associate themselves so strongly with it.

It is almost quiant to say but in addiction the more someone has tried to kick an addiction the more likely they will eventually succeed. Most ‘tries’ end in failures, but it is the trying that is predictive of success. This is true of a lot of things in life (dating?), but in a shame driven culture it is a good thing…

With all our three kids we co-slept and comforted as needed. One reason is that my wife worked a lot and though it made her tired she wanted that time. I imagine that if she was home most of the day with the kids our evenings would be different.

The producers are the real manipulating assholes. I can see them so easily convincing a young women who wants to get into show buisness that this is the way to get discovered.

I have talked to a man who actually placed hands on JT as his masseuses and let’s just say JT is asking for all the reasons you would expect. It was business, but not that fun in an eye rolling way for the guy I talked to.

I think you underestimate the potential cost of this treatment and thus the revenue.

I just want to pipe up from my chair by the fire, “I am so old I remember Magnum’s character debut on the Rockford files”

Yes, this is a nicely done paper, but this is not a smoking gun. It is not even fog on a mirror. The odds ratio for having schizophrenia if you have one form of there gene is 1.27, this puts it between the odds ratio of being born in winter over summer (1.11) and being male verses female, (1.4). This is one of the…

I am hopeful that this is being run by someone of color. Cynicism for all!

We had all our kids in Midwife run birth centers. And felt we had a very high standared of care from very experienced practitioners. Interestingly at the informational meeting for one Birth Center in the philadelphia area of about a dozen interested patients everyone except us were Europeans, where the midwife model…

If we want to be all free market about it, hold Airbnb responsible forcing them to force owners into the insurance market. Insurares will price the risk and owners will act to keep their insurance low. Airbnb just needs to be in a position where it forces owners to have liability insurance that covers Airbnb’s…

Yes, they are clearly grasping without much thought.

I bet midwife dolphins are great. Which ones are the midwife ones and which are the mullet concusiours?

Yeah, there is still room in that. We are an atheist family with boys in scouting. And we directly ask if the troop is OK with that before becoming involved. I think beyond prejudice towards atheism, the scouts will have a structural problem. Scouts engages in some pretty animistic symbolism and takes on a lot of…

And affirmative action for boys (and essentially white boys) never gets mentioned. Because girls tend to do better in High School you have to do better as a girl to get in to many schools. This is a true bias since boys tend to fuck up in collage more too.

Well the first step in any war is getting it started. So saying that the enemy will role over is a feature of good warmounging.

Mark I know it is cute, but put up a video to make people squee and they will start to associate it with your brain. This is how zombification starts. Besides there is no intellectual value in those videos.

The worst for them is that their safety and entitlement came from not only being thin, but young and thin; they have no control of the years. They are running scared.

Completely a compliment. You defiantly have untapped super powers - from my blury morning to yours.

I know that you are underappreciate. Because there is no way your talents are suitably recognized.
