I LOVED that episode. Just something off the grid and kinda weird.

I think you have to enjoy tv shows that do this to get into it? I always like when a series has a one-off that strays from the standard story line, so I liked this one a lot. But I can see how it would annoy some people, or at least not hold their interest.

This season was awesome. Last season was a bit of a bust but of course we watched it anyway. This season was some great TV.

aaaah!!!! good catch!!!!!

This is interesting. I recently read a study of ER docs/nurses who said they felt most visits to the ER were appropriate. Anecdotally, I used to be an EMT in Boston and while we had our fair share of “illness” trips, most were the kind of thing that an average person may not be able to judge as non-emergent.…

They are less. Misuse of the ER is generally symptomatic of a lack of access to a primary care physician or care, and actually happens fairly rarely. I can;t recall the source ( I could dig) but a recent study of ER visits concluded that most were not “wasted”. There are always outliers ( as a former EMT I took my…

I find this so odd. When I get a physician, they ask me all kinds of things and if I have any issues that need discussing. I even get an EKG sometimes as a routine baseline check. Never paid more than co-pay. But I Live in MA where healthcare is a priority. Maybe that’s it?

For women, we are told from forever that our value lies in our ability to “catch a man”, even if we grow up in the most feminist of families. It;s everywhere-film, tv, print, online....and a rich, famous man is even better. On some level, leaving means cutting off the chance for that, even when the price is giving a…

I am not being flip, but are you a man? If so, it’s likely that you may not be able to see how complicated this is for women. If you’re a woman, you are doing what a lot other women are doing: punishing Grace for not doing exactly what we THINK/WANT her to have done. The truth is, so many of us have been in her exact…

Given Banfields outright near slander of Grace, I am with Way on this (minus the insults on Banfield’s hair). I thought her response was actually fairly appropriate. Banfield had it coming.

Yeah, also not every woman has been harassed at work of even “harassed, but soooo many women have been in this situation.

I’ve heard rumors, but nothing too clear. that this is not uncommon for him.

Right. Like, he’s not actually assaulting her so why would she get violent? It was....uncomfortable, not rape. For women, it’s a confusing and challenging place to be. Should she have just left? Probably. But maybe, the better question to ask is why men need to keep pressing on when their partner is clearly unsure and…

same.I’m older than 30, but I feel like when I was her age I would have maybe done the same. Now? Of course not.

This is a GREAT comment.

I agree. I feel like if Ansari just talked about this openly, be the feminist relationship expert he claims to be, it would such a valuable conversation. I have heard rumblings that this is not out of the norm for him, though, so I m imagining he feels he was not in the wrong at all.

Yes, this is very true.

There is some new thinking that environmental effects may be one cause (chemicals in food and products, for example, that change hormone levels). So this, coupled with a change in eating patterns (snacks...all the damn snacks), and probably the vast amount of prepared food available, is all a reason. But I think it’s…

I don’t know. I’m not defending the Paps for chasing her down, or her friends for ratting her out. Buuut,the reality is she IS the kid of one of our most popular presidents, and while she didn’t choose that life, millions of people don’t choose their circumstances and they have to accommodate whatever those…

I would imagine there is plenty of ample evidence of white women not self-destructing. And other non-white women absolutely self-destructing. Some white people are fucking racist assholes and it almost always comes out when they are unable to find a legitimate argument. Generally, this is true of anyone who has a lot…
