Also, there are plenty of dumb doctors. And dumb lawyers. And engineers. Fully half of everyone in every field finished in the bottom of half on their entrance exams, went to the bottom half of the available degree programs, and then graduated in the bottom half of their classes.

My first choice is Sanders, but my second choice isn’t Clinton, who shares a great many of Sanders’s policy positions, but Johnson, who shares none of Sanders’s policy positions. Because we can’t betray the revolution (which apparently has no substantive policy goals). Also, I like that Sanders and Johnson are both…

Concern that one’s children are wasting their time in graduate school causes menopause!

Although isn’t a significant amount of Johnson’s support pulling from the left? A number of disaffected Bernie supporters (who I know are a very small percentage of his supporters overall), including those here in the Jezebel commenting community, have said they’re supporting Johnson, even though there is effectively…

Some kind of extra-strength toilet paper?

I also like the idea of the Green party as a progressive alternative to Democrats, but the Green party that’s currently available doesn’t seem to be it. (Also, I’d need there to be a Libertarian or Theocratic party to similarly split conservative support, since otherwise it would just guaranteeing a Republican…

If the water in toilets doesn’t swirl when flushed, then what are people talking about when they refer to “flushing backwards”? In any event, I’m delighted that this is an issue the community feels so strongly about.

Just a hilarious joke based on the ambiguities in the phrase “flush backward.” You’re welcome, everyone.

God, that FACE!

Consistency is the key.

Australian toilets don’t actually flush backwards (as in, the water swirling down the pipe in the opposite direction to that of swirling toilet water in the northern hemisphere); the Coriolis effect isn’t strong enough to affect the water shot into the toilet bowl from the tank.

For what it’s worth, cats don’t even seem to need the Internet. We had a cat who was in end-stage renal failure for two years. She didn’t seem to notice. Our current cat is packed with lymphoma and, a year in, could not give less of a shit about it. Positive thinking, y’all. (Or should I say, PAW-sitive thinking! No!…

They then spend forty minutes trimming the parkway. They know the parkway isn’t technically their property, but damnit, it matters to them that it look good!

It’s like the Trump people. An election is only legitimate if the candidate you support wins, regardless of vote totals; any other outcome is conclusive evidence of that the system is “rigged.” (How dare they count the votes of those people! They’re not real Americans, as evidenced by their having voted for the wrong…

“We are literally living in a time when you can say you’re something on the Internet and become that thing[.]”

Like the breakfast treats?

I once went to the rental place where my former firm had an account to pick up the tiny compact I’d be taking to the court out in the burbs. They were out of compacts, though, and offered me an immense black escalade, which they were desperate to get off theit hands (no one wants to rent a huge SUV in downtown…

He probably never even started making their orders. He just recognized them as the crazy people who periodically wander in, order food, and then wander out. No harm, no foul.

How is it even possible to remove a single slice from a peach? They have stones! More importantly, how is it possible to eat less than a whole peach? If it’s a good peach, I’m eating all of it, and if it isn’t, I’m tossing it, not leaving it out in hopes that it will be improved by decomposition.

She politely eats two poptarts, then discretely hides her remaining seven in her napkin.
