Seriously. Good for you, but don’t humblebrag.

I don’t really get the resistance to the chicken pox vaccine. I had a fairly uncomplicated case, and I ended up missing a week of school and having a couple of deep scars on my forehead, plus am at risk for shingles. That’s obviously nothing like what you had to go through, but it puzzles me that today’s parents, who…

Me too. I posted this before, but I remember polio. I remember everybody waiting in long lines when they passed out the Sabin vaccine free. The idea that we would be a society free of polio was a miracle in our time. I can’t even with these anti-vaxxers. If they just hurt only themselves, fine, but they are a loaded…

The thing that baffles me about not getting your kids vaccinated is missing what an astonishing gift immunity is. Here, for the cost of a moment’s discomfort and a $20 copay, you are protected from a scourge that has caused humanity untold pain and death for millennia.

It’s like Thetis bringing Achilles to the River…

teeheehee! i’m imagining a dad squished into a little fancy chair trying to drink delicately from a small tea cup.

Do you see the difference of news groups following stuff the police do versus helping some random crazy person blackmail?

No kidding? Is it because Holden narrates over the opening scenes? Because I gotta tell you, when a movie I watch opens in a morgue, “comedy” isn’t what leaps to mind.

Stoners with pie cannot be angry, my friend.

Was it John Oliver who helped bring attention to professional cheerleaders getting the shaft all the time?

I don’t. We don’t like to acknowledge that evil isn’t obviously evil 100% of the time because it doesn’t fit with the black and white way our brains are designed to view the world, but that doesn’t make it less true. It is entirely possible—and even likely—that he never did any of that stuff at home, purely exercising…

Wow, he was gorgeous!

I see the rationale for having a gun if you live in the wilderness, but those gunowners should know that a gun in the home is at least 22 times more likely to be used to kill or injure in a domestic homicide, suicide, or unintentional shooting than to be used in self-defense. (Kellerman)

Remember that his Daddy didn’t even know how to check out of a supermarket. Comes with the territory.

Yeah I could never. Differing political views were basically at the top of my Deal Breaker list.

I hope one day we’ll have a society that believes the victims of sexual assault and rape when they share their stories.

“boys’ academic and literacy skills don’t improve over the summer break therefore this program would only be offered to boys.”

There is such a problem with feral cat colonies and abandoned cats. That is beyond weird.
