The FDA was too strict on thalidomide?

Yeah, it’s interesting that they’re essentially saying “well, all police departments are as shit as Uvalde’s and nothing will be done to fix them, so this would be info that a shooter could exploit!”

Yeah, this guy does not seem to see how he’s prompting the AI in that whole conversation. If you’re trying to test this kind of thing you need much more open ended questions. All I see is a chatbot living up to the user’s expectations

I’ve got hour long meetings for every project I’m on every week. They actually need me for about 5 min of those meetings, max. My productivity has gone way up working from home because I can get stuff done the other 55 minutes while half listening instead of sitting there trying to look engaged. That’s how you do 5…

No app needs your location when you’re not using the app. Even freaking maps. Only ever allow location services to be on while an app is in use and even keep that to a minimum. Not just because of this. Just generally.

That’s the bit that leapt out to me. “abortion of a quick child” That’s a pregnancy that you can feel kicking, right there. Even this Hale dude didn’t consider a fetus alive until that point which google informs me happens 16-25 weeks into a pregnancy.

If she winds up opting against UT-Dallas, encourage her to make sure they know why

FWIW, if you’re a US citizen, your kid will be one no matter where they’re born

I am not at all sure about pants that short with shoes that high.

What are you talking about? I share my Prime, when I had HBO, I shared that too. The Disney and Hulu I have access to aren’t mine... I sometimes even lend people DVDs! Netflix is the only service that’s really freaking out about the fact that this is what everybody does with everything.

Yeah, I live alone in a 1-screen household with an ancient TV that I don’t think would show me 4k if I streamed it, so I have Netflix’s lowest tier plan. If they start showing me ads, I’m probably more likely to drop the service than upgrade. If they want to charge per screen, then that’s what they should do - that’s…

Eh, it’s less of a gotcha and more of a “would you temporarily put your own desires and preferences aside to alleviate a major source of suffering for literally millions of people?” Oh, you wouldn’t, Ted? Shocking. What’s that you say? Your own disgust response takes precedence for you over the ability of others to…

Just emailed everyone who represents me asking them to introduce legislation protecting the right to privacy in one’s personal life, both nationally and specifically in my state (because if it winds up coming down to state laws, we gotta be ready) And, really, when you put it that way, who is going to object to having…

He’s still a dumb piece of dog shit though.

Yes to back flexibility! I can put my hands flat on the ground no problem and most of the stretch that lets me do that is not coming through my hamstrings, it’s coming from my lower back. I think a lot of people over-focus on stretching through the legs for that one.

Same, clit stimulation is required! The first time touched myself during sex, the dude immediately lost his erection. Not encouraging! However, since then I’ve found guys who think it’s hot! Those are the keepers! With my current BF, I told him I need clit involvement fairly early on and the next time I came over, he…

Right? This is way bigger than contraception. They’re saying the federal judiciary shouldn’t be able to overrule state judiciary, which functionally would mean that federal law couldn’t overrule state law. They’re arguing for the breakup of the country.

I grew up in an indoor shoe house and the best way I can explain why it was like that was kind of the idea that to not have shoes on is to not be fully dressed. When you get dressed in the morning, you put shoes on and you don’t take them off until you get undressed at night. (we also didn’t do different…

I wouldn’t trust a rando off Tinder if he said he was using it, but a lot of sex happens in the context of relationships too and this would probably be more useful there. Like, I’ve got an IUD that’s good for several more years, but my BF is getting a vasectomy next month anyway because he wants to be sure (and he’s…

I swear I heard about this sperm-blocking gel being in human trials in India like a decade ago with promising early results. What the heck is the hold up?
