Man. That's nothing. I expected way better! For example, trying to untie one's partner's hands from behind their back while talking to one's son without the son noticing anything. Or explaining things like "oh that's just a toy for grownups." … just sayin.

and I don't know about you, but when I'm being sexually assaulted I like to spice it up a little by having the rapist's blood pouring into my mouth to boot! What an awesome idea!

Well if we think of the question as victimizing her all over again, then asking why she didn't react differently is sort of similar to what Lemon himself was doing… kwim? Sometimes someone does something shitty, and the victim of said shitty thing doesn't react in the perfect way.

I never understand why people hate it!

She asked the people who should have known better than she did, and they told her to fly. Does the whole thing seem idiotic? Yes. But if she is asking the pros and they are giving her reassurance after reassurance I'm going to put more blame on them than on her. And either way - even if she acted like a complete…

She was specifically told it was safe. It's easy to say it lacks common sense, and of course it seems that way now and from afar. But probably within the decision making she was told a thousand times ,by the people most qualified to decide this,to go ahead and fly, that she was fine, to stop worrying.

Boy you're really doubling down on prioritizing shtick over compassion for someone who risked her life in the service of caring for others, got screwed over by those who were supposed to protect and advise her, and who is probably wracked with incredible guilt while worrying that she's going to die (not to mention…

I guess the phrase "come to realize" does imply that he initially believed he was bi, whereas what you are trying to imply is that he never believed (even in a "fooling himself" type of way) that he was bi, but I don't think the quotations make that difference clear.

I totally get that, I just don't think it renders the quotation marks necessary (see longer comment above).

I do get that, but I don't think the quotes are necessary to get that message across, so to my eyes they have no effect other than being dismissive towards the word/identity itself. Behold:

And here's some background on the complete ineptitude that could cost this woman her life:

At the same time, if your work screwed you with inadequate protection and guidance while the foisted someone spewing Ebola on you, and you're asking the fucking CDC for guidance and they tell you you're all good, and now you have Ebola, maybe people should be cutting you a damn break and throwing the blame in some of…

Why are there quotation marks around the word bisexual?

And also - like it's not his own fault that she had to bring the baby there in the first place?!

Obviously I wasn't there, and you know them and I don't. I'm not going to pretend to have certainty over what should be done regarding his medications. But as a nurse if I saw an end of life palliative care patient exhibiting those symptoms my thought would be to medicate for pain control and comfort. Regardless of…

If he's palliative care only, and he's thrashing around calling out "mama mama," and the problem with the narcotics is that they lower is O2 sats, I would feel uncomfortable ethically speaking in holding off on narcotics. Morphine treats air hunger. His O2 sats being low when he has COPD and is on death's door isn't…

They didn't like the ravioli but they loved the steak. I still call it a success.

When I was in Israel they asked me if I wanted fries, and then I was surprised when they put the fries IN the shawarma. So, maybe not only a Pittsburg twist but also something more common in the middle east than in the U.S. in general?

totally with you on the skip's scramble!

Also, 72nd street is no side street - it's a major street. the blocks just west of these people are chock full of businesses. Their block is indeed mostly residential but not all and it's right near a million restaurants on Columbus. So weird that they would get their panties in a twist over this.
