When I lived in Chicago and a girl who was 8 or 9 got killed in a drive-by, people in comments on the story kept freaking out about "Why was she out on the street at 11 pm?" I mean, besides the fact that it was summer, no school, and literally 100 degrees so everyone was hanging out outside, and she was with her…

Same thing happened to me on FB. Realized one of my close friends is a raging racist

Damn. I thought I might get a full house first. It's the "Chicago" squares. Canadians don't think to mention Chicago. Can I alternate "Toronto" or "Vancouver"?

Love the "Change Subject to Case Where the Victim is White". I was looking for the "Who Lets a 12-Yr Old Play With a Pellet Gun?" I've heard that a lot. I keep answering, "um, my parents."

I have a black out on that Facebook Ferguson bingo card. I saw every single space represented on my timeline.

"Rice shouldn't have been carrying a toy gun in an open carry state if he didn't want to get shot." Already one in the comments. Fuuuuk these people.

Yeah. Gonna put this up here:

I think it's odd that there is no mention here of a heartbeat. Or, rather, the lack of one, which can be detected as early as six weeks and is distinctly heard during a sonogram. Surely, one of the many medical professionals pointed this out to her? Anna, did you ask her about this?

I completely agree. If I started to feel the physiological symptoms of pregnancy, I would also be skeptical of anyone- even a medical professional- essentially telling me that what i'm physically feeling was "incorrect". Maternal instinct would kick in and I'd be asking for a second opinion too. I don't think I'd…

I just thought it was a really interesting story and a fascinating look into how the mind can operate when a couple wires get crossed. Ruby's identity was protected, and the journalist looking into her probably gave her more care and attention than any of her doctors by just sitting down with her and asking her in…

The motivation is that it is interesting. I've never heard of this type of syndrome, and I'd wager that most of Jezebel's audience is in that same boat.

I feel for Ruby. Something similar to this happened to me earlier this year, not to this extent but I had so many symptoms, I was SURE I was pregnant. When I described how I felt to my OB, even she was like, yeah sounds like you're pregnant. But tests were done and I went to 3 more doctors and we found out that I just…

The problem is that the way in which she "gets really, really into her research" is apparently to stick to the dark corners of the internet full of hypochondriacs who don't trust mainstream medical science. It's an echo chamber where otherwise normal people can end up anti-GMO, anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists.

Spoiler alert: She's not pregnant.

The unfortunate problem is there's virtually no way 20 medical professionals are incorrect, where as she feels "When I research something, I get really, really into it." is a justifiable medical license to diagnose yourself.

Somehow that was my biggest question through all of this as well.

The blood tests look for a hormone your body only makes after an egg successfully implants. While it's possible to get a false read on the urine (if you've been on fertility drugs) I don't think there is any situation in which you can receive a false positive on the blood test.

I hope you keep us posted about the end results. Not that I'm being inquisitive but I genuinely would love to know how this turns out. If she isn't pregnant I hope she has some support system to help her deal with the trauma.

How does she have money to see all these doctors?

Truthfully, I don't know if I can ever say whether Adnan is innocent or guilty unless a massive overlooked 'smoking gun' is revealed. My gut feeling is that Jay's story is/was pretty inconsistent, but that also doesn't mean the essence of it isn't true. The main conclusion that my friends and I arrive at is that the…
