Ya, but social media is a massive force in shaping our culture. You can’t task social media companies with fixing all of eating disorders (ditto our elections...) but they can certainly mitigate their role in the problem. But profiting off of clicks driven by our worst impulses—and amplifying social ills in the process

Ya, I’m still OK w mid century modern. I’d love to see a bit more variety out there, but I feel like it’s hard to screw up MCM, & not everyone is a designer. Way less offensive than many trends out there.

 

I guess? Sure, other people in this scandal did worse. This guy still accepted a boat or whatever in exchange for the future of a woman who deserves to be on that team & at that school. Still gross & this guy still deserves more jail time than this, even if he is small potatoes by comparison.

Ok but like, this is a low wage worker who obviously didn’t have time for a proper lunch break. There’s a big difference between being silently pissed in your head and putting this person on public blast to try to get them fired/in trouble with their boss over something so petty. It’s not like she’s the one who set

Ughhh that sucks!! I’m so sorry. It must be so frustrating to invest so heavily & have it end like this. I don’t have the experience to give you good advice.

That sounds encouraging! You don’t need to rewrite it from scratch, but making an effort to tweak it a bit for the new position will reflect well on you and is worth it.

It’s what’s going on in their lives, cut them some slack.

The free tuition in exchange for working in an under-served area idea is one of the more elegant solutions to convincing providers to move to these areas. There’s a lot of programs based on this premise that aren’t cross-your-fingers-and-hope like PSLF & have formal agreements where you exchange a year of tuition for

They showed us a picture that looked like the heart on the right in anatomy lecture, and at first glance we were all like “wow, that looks unhealthy.” Then, our instructor explained that what we’re seeing is a typical healthy layer of epicardial fat that protects your coronary vessels and provides your heart muscles

This headline is confusingly worded. I put it together finally, but “Washington County” is the name of a county in the Portland metro area. Given local headlines of the spread of measles in various Portland locales, I totally thought you meant that measles hit Washington County as well.

Yup, my healthcare school requires titers in addition to vaccination requirements. I and many of my classmates were surprised to learn that at least one of our vaccines didn’t “take”.

I think it’s better to apply concealer second because you use less product that way and avoid wiping it off. That said, if my concealer is not a good color match, then I apply it first and pat foundation on top.

In the cover photo, the sleeves make it look like her arms are missing...

Thanks for sharing your story! There’s SO much stigma around sexual health that it can interfere with effective communication with health care professionals. Obviously, we should work towards lessening that stigma, but in the meantime I think it’s totally understandable and fair for men to prefer male physicians if it

Yup. What about the gut feelings of racist police officers? Listen to your gut, but not every unexamined rusty gut is always right.

That was my first thought too. Why are people so obsessed with flushing everything anyway? Short of the kind of domestic situation you described, people who need a little more privacy should just stash the test in their purse (wrapped in the original packaging or a ziploc) until they can reach a more private trashcan.

I raised an eyebrow too. My understanding is that pregnancy test accuracy at this point has more to do with where you set the cut offs. So even if the test is 100% accurate in determining that the hCG level is X, one woman may have an hCG of X and be pregnant, and another woman may have that same hCG level and not be
