Yes, but people like you have been around for decades, but with close to 100% vaccination rates, you make up a small enough portion of the population that a stray case here or there can't spread. But people like you PLUS people who choose not to vax are what cause the epidemics. So it doesn't matter if patient 0 was…

She's like Led Zeppelin. It is OK when you're in high school. But then it is time to move on.

And if they are too young to be vaccinated, keep them away from kids that aren't.

On the other hand, unregulated free markets would have prevented this abomination from taking place.

When my husband and I first started dating over 10 years ago we would have raging debates about the virtues (or in my opinion the lack of virtues) of a free market. We eventually learned to agree to disagree and had enough other compatibility that it wasn't a show stopper. (It also helped that despite the fact that he…

I'm trying to figure out the type of person who would follow Dr. Ruth but be weirded out by vagina discussions.

I was gonna make a quip about Republicans and white men, but it turns out the Dems actually have a worse record with SOTU responses - all white guys except a couple of co-billings for some white ladies.

That was a tedious, infuriating, excruciating, sneaky narrative arc. Each time I believed that it would finally work out for them. By the time he had become visible I aged out, so I never got any satisfaction. What developmental psychologist told them it was OK to trick kids like that?

My first thought went to Katherine Harris and I couldn't figure out how she ended up in California or why we were cheering. This makes much more sense.

They don't really concern themselves with secular studies, like history. In all seriousness - their children attend religious yeshivas with minimal oversight and the majority of their studies are religious. Here's a story about a Haredi Jew in the US who has dared to push more secular studies.

There are Jews with these values all over. Even if Israel were to cease to exist tomorrow, it wouldn't change the culture. In fact, some of the Jews with the most extreme views about women are also against the current political state of Israel and protest against Israel at the UN. They are proud anti-Zionists.

I can tell you that video is from the late 80s and apparently Keith Hernandez spent The Mets off season moonlighting as a cop in Texas.

I don't know why but his fruit is almost always superior than the others in the area. And he's always honest about what's good. He'll tell me not to bother with certain things. And if he makes a bad recommendation he'll give you your money back! (Or usually just some free fruit).

Yup. Although sometimes he's even there in the winter if there's a stretch of good weather forecasted.

Cantaloupe is hit or miss, but when it is a hit... YOWZERS! (I highly recommend the fruit guy in front of the Chase on 31st and 3rd in Manhattan - he always tells you when the cantaloupe is awesome).

Stanley's piece boils down to some uninformed semantics

William and Ellen married in 1846—their masters allowed the union, but would not allow the couple to live together.

"Amazingly WTF" made me think it was going to be an avant-garde Yoko Ono performance art piece. While treacly and over-wrought, I didn't really find this commercial to evoke WTF feelings.

but he changed it to use the Italian term "allattateli", which means "breastfeed them"

It definitely strikes me as splitting hairs.
