I am infuriated that no one in the mainstream is pushing back on this narrative. He has a problem therefore someone else must die? If an alcoholic shot up a liquor store, would this be framed the same way? No of course not because it is complete nonsense but this reveals not only how deep of a connection there is…

I am with you! The only male medical professional I have ever visited that did not skeeve me out was an ancient gentleman optometrist in Scotland. Going to his office was like going back in time! 

It makes sense, I think we all delude ourselves from time to time and being rich/famous doesn’t insulate you from that - actually might make it harder not to.

🤣 I see what you did there.

The mechanisms aren’t entirely clear but statistics show us that couples are more likely to conceive if they have previously achieved a pregnancy together (irrespective of whether or not that pregnancy resulted in the birth of a baby) compared to couples that have never been pregnant.

Bravo!

Yes! It’s a use it or lose it situation. That’s why it’s pretty common for women to be over 35 and have a baby but much less common for that to be the first baby.

Ugh YES. I am so oppositional that any kind of “motivation” makes me stop doing the thing forever. It took me until my early 30s to find a fitness regime that I actually liked where I was doing something fun and cool and instructors respected my boundaries. That thing is aerials. Now I am actually motivated to go to…

Sunk cost?

Also...”Sarah Jessica Partner” ?

His grandfather, the oil tycoon, was the first to be named Armand Hammer. Apparently the great grandfather, a Jewish émigré physician and druggist from Odessa who spent 3 and a half years at Sing Sing for performing an abortion in his clinic in 1920 (after which the patient died, possibly of influenza) was a socialist…

Yeah exactly not only the time but the cost too. And the money isn’t going to the uber-wealthy, is it? I thought there was an income cutoff. So even if you are doing ok, an extra couple thousand will probably be spent like I bought new workout gear (because my old leggings don’t fit 😭) from a few sellers on Etsy. 

Yeah damn they couldn’t be bothered to signal boost the actual mitten maker? 

I always assumed that the checks to people who aren’t in a financial hole were meant to stimulate the economy cuz people will just spend it on goods (hopefully at a local family owned business rather than Amazon).

OH! Is that why she destroyed the surveillance cameras at the mall??? I did not get that part AT ALL. Of course she did it after she already did a bunch of stuff at the mall so unless she also destroyed the tapes there would still be footage plus she was also at the White House in costume... 

I am not sure how it works in Quantum Leap but did that guy have a family? Friends? A job? Wouldn’t it be weird if he started blowing everything off and hanging out with a strange new lady? Also why did they say he obviously didn’t have a passport? That would make more sense if the real Steve came forward in time…

I hate to be “that person” but maybe you should understand the meaning of the word that you are getting so up in arms about. It’s...kind of embarrassing.

She is really starting to look like Ivana now.

I once had a tray of boneless skinless chicken breasts replaced with frozen Buffalo chicken wings (which were awful).

That’s interesting. I’m in Rhode Island and people here say “I’m going to the market,” (maaahket) when they’re buying groceries (although ‘store’ is acceptable, just more generic). ‘Store’ is for basically everything else. I recall a weird moment when I was studying in New Zealand where everyone thought my calling it…
