That first sentence is technically wrong - it should say arsenic compounds, not just arsenic. They are not the same thing. The organic compounds contain carbon, the inorganic don’t. That is what the words mean.

I can’t tell if you’re kidding, but in case you’re not - arsenic is an element. There cannot be two types of an element. Apple seeds contain arsenic, period.

jesus christ that is fucked up.

there were rumors she was working as a high-end prostitute for Middle Eastern billionaires for a while.

Yes, and as a late (‘79) gen-X-er, I feel like the Just Say No campaign actually pushed us more towards drugs when we were young. Like, at some point it became clear that DARE was lying to us, so we were like “hell yeah drugs” in our teenage years (though this was before the opiate epidemic, and at least in my…

well I’ve got a decade on you and I’m still giggling :)

that is STILL HILARIOUS.

When I was 10 I walked around on a broken ankle for two weeks before my dad gave in and got an X-Ray, which showed that in those two weeks my body had dissolved the chunk of bone that was broken out of my ankle and I’d been hobbling around on this thin connecting sliver. He just wordlessly started casting it.

I’m the child of a doctor and have several friends who are too, and this is absolutely a thing. People can’t be objective about their own kids.

Yes, America is super-fucked up in recent years, and legally it’s complicated by the whole states’ rights thing. I hope the Supreme Court will make a precedent ruling soon and stop this bullshit (at least re: abortion). In the meantime I’m glad I don’t live there anymore.

That’s really interesting, thanks for your perspective!

does no one else think this is totally fake? he talks like a terrible actor who can’t remember all his lines.

Come on, though, the flight isn’t the full cost of a trip. you have transportation to the airport, from the airport, a night in a hotel, back to the airport, back from the airport... it’s gonna be at least 200. And then there’s the cost of the abortion itself, which other commenters have illuminated. It is not weird…

Agreed. Can’t take anyone seriously who writes “a Dada”, though.

As an art historian, can confirm. Except for putting Romanticism in the correct time period, none of these words go with the others.

As a former competitive swimmer, I just want to complain about the fact that Speedo STILL uses regular models and not swimmers to model their stuff. Those women’s wee bitty arms and total lack of lats look ridiculous in those suits.

I am pro-ghosting, but that’s because I’ve been in a couple relationships with seriously psychologically abusive people. Attempting an ‘actual’ breakup in those situations is just more damaging.

Wait, what-?? That is literally part of the movie Tootsie. Like it’s this big and obnoxious revelation that Hoffman’s character has, because the character starts out as a womanizing douche. So Hoffman stole his ‘insight’ directly from the script.

“Typical white guy is what I say.”
