“Even if the vaccine “misses” the most dominant strain for the year, studies suggest it can still mitigate your misery if you do get the flu.”

I’m sad that this bullshit craps up my newsfeed.

Don’t let these tip guides fool you: fewer messages are better. Unless you’re just trying to get laid, you want to weed out the ones that will be put off by finding out after a few dates that you’re a guitar player in a bar band or a blade collector (two good filters for me) or, in your case (and mine), not interested…

That’s a very constructive post. Thanks for that.

Why would you not use a towel? Do you leave your butthole wet when you get out of the shower/bath? Do you dry it with toilet paper?

You can try but I think a flight attendant will politely ask you to remove them.

I have control over whether to recline my seat, so I own that space.

Four eight ounce cups is about what my coffee “cup” holds, so...

Current thinking suggests it’s much more mundane. When the administration was democratic, Chaffetz and his ultra-conservative colleagues delighted in investigating (or threatening to) even the slightest hint of impropriety. Now that the administration is Republican and utterly corrupt, if he initiates any of the many…

I thought it was a fresh finger tip.

In 2015 Franklin still doesn’t get a last name? Why do I feel that really undermines the message here?

What amazes me about this sort of thing is the number of people with bizarre hangups that think they’re universal hygiene rules. One person compares your unwashed legs to raw chicken. Another seems to be under the impression that your skin is a smegma factory constantly expelling biohazardous material. A third is so…

So the people who voted delusionally are still delusional? Huh. The hell.

Another article on this same thing! One from Adequate Man (?!) and one from Jezebel. You know Muslims wipe their ass with their left hand? You know some Jews and Muslims don’t eat pork? Why don’t we have an article about that? It’s a common behavior rooted in conservative religion, just like this. This is something…

Yeah it is. Because this is a common standard held by conservative fundamentalist christians. Are you familiar with the concept of chaparones? Usual, expected, normal behavior for millions of men. That’s all. But because you don’t happen to know about it, it’s some sort of personality flaw? I’m sure you view it as…

Timeline.

Tell me all about the real world, Doctor. I’m sure you’re perfectly in touch with what’s going on with us unwashed masses that have to give up those iPhones we love so much to pay for insurance so you can get paid. Don’t you have a tee time? I bet some of your best friends are poor.

That’s a different issue. What this test is focusing on is the fact that the sounds necessary to discriminate between English words almost all fall into a very narrow frequency range called the Speech Banana. Hearing loss in that range is common due to aging and environmental factors, like in my case standing in front…

No.

Bear in mind, folks, that this is just a stop-gap to allow corporate america to extract the last few dollars from this health care/insurance bubble before the whole thing goes up in flames. One to two years and you won’t be able to get healthcare, insurance or no. It’ll be only for the rich. It’ll be like Korea or…
