Yes, there is definitely a possibility that people will have an adverse reaction to vaccines, whether that is the inert virus or the other ingredients. This is not a secret, and is openly acknowledged by all doctors and public health officials. No one claims vaccines are 100% safe, because nothing is 100%. This is one…

Yes. If someone is always nice, they can be a pushover and avoid conflict and avoid addressing issues that really need to be addressed. I have been “too nice” in a relationship, and it was a huge problem, because I never spoke up for what *I* actually wanted. Alternately, being “too nice” puts all the responsibility…
Leaving strangers alone all the time makes you sad! http://www.scientificamerican.com/podcast/episod…
To me it's a cultural thing. Already, Americans have such a terrible cultural around vacation, work, and holidays. We have a cultural narrative about overwork in our white collar jobs, which trickles down abusively to our lower-paid jobs, like we all need to be hazed. If I'm going to be miserable and overworked, at…
I feel like I should post this above the sink in the kitchen in my apartment. I don't have a husband or a boyfriend, but I do have two male roommates. The younger one WAS well trained as a housemate, but then he saw how the older one treats the chores, and he emulated him. I'm like, DAMMIT DUDE, emulate ME!
I'd love to babysit, have volunteered to for my friends, and no one has ever taken me up on it. I think it's a combination of people thinking they're inconveniencing me, people thinking that hiring babysitters shows they're bad parents, as well as a fear that no one would volunteer to spend time with someone else's…
And, to disprove the other side of this equation through anecdotal evidence, my boyfriend and I met at a party a year ago, dated for 10 months, and then just broke up today! Ugh.
I have actually never had a bad experience on OK Cupid, it's just not very exciting to talk about that. I haven't met my soulmate there or anything, but I went on lots of first dates, some second dates, made out with some cool dudes. I met a man who I dated for a year and a half. It didn't work out in the long run,…
They're just trolling you. You can ignore.
Please don't date her unless you're actually ready to be in a relationship. I got involved with a guy freshly out of long relationship. It's something I've done before, and I had hesitations, but I liked him so much. He seemed so different than the emotionally unavailable men I've dated otherwise. So I told him…
I said this in another thread, but I'm a high school teacher and the biggest complaint I have about my profession is how early we start. I have NEVER had another job where I would regularly have meetings at 7:00 am. Because I've never had another job where you have to even be there before 8am. Fortunately I teach…
This article that you're commenting on is about those studies. The AAP's recommendation, which is what this blog post is about, is based on those studies. But if you're curious here's the link to their statement. http://www.aap.org/en-us/about-th…
Lasik is 100% the best thing I have ever spent my money on in my life, hands down.
I mostly agree, but feel you malign the humble and oft-hilarious fart joke with this comment.
I feel like there are time when friendships become more one sided, though. If you are also in deep pain because of something, you probably can't be there for your friend going through a break up. But if they need your support for a specific period, you support them. There can definitely be times when it gets to be…
I try to NEVER say anything bad about someone's ex unless they explicitly want me to (like, I literally tell them I'm not going to talk shit about their ex unless they ask me to). They chose them, and wanted to be with them, and it is not helpful to hear that not only are you in pain, you're in pain because of a…
I wasn't aware there was only room on the internet for "serious" problems.
It sucks that people think it's an unpopular stance because it's also just... science? Like, you can think smoking makes you looks like the bees knees, and you can choose to do it, but that doesn't change the damage it's doing to your body.
I know. But those people are trying to KILL YOU.
I teach at a small specialized private school that serves kids with aspergers and neurological disabilities. I NEVER thought I would be in a private school, but I was utterly ground up and spit out by teaching special education in the public system. Like, I had a nervous breakdown at the end of last year (teaching…
