Can and will confirm that I have been told “Xanax is alcohol in a pill” by two doctors.

I am 100% with you. My reply was sarcastic - yes, it’s absolutely idiotic to buy into toxic masculinity, but crazy? I don’t know... it seems dismissive to blame this guy’s behavior on “mental illness,” which is how I’d interpret “crazy.” 

Thanks... it was more like a tirade. It was a long day. Haha.

But is it really all that crazy to believe that you’re entitled to the attention of beautiful women when you’ve grown up your entire life watching the totally relatable guy in every form of media, ever, like the movie where SETH FUCKING ROGAN or Adam fucking Sandler end up being adored by bombshells like Charlize…

you are my spirit animal

Not just great for cancer patients and elderly folks; it can help significantly with those of us who, due to eating disorders, either don’t want to or cannot eat. It removes the cognitive distortions that stop us from eating (“If I eat, I will get fat” or “I don’t deserve to eat” become “a size 4 is perfectly fine,…

But you’ll attest... it’s still worth it. Worth the sacrifices, worth the lost sleep, worth the partying I never got to do, worth the deep breathing in the bathroom before I have to go in front of that judge again, worth the canceled social engagements, because look. I may not be able to change THE world, but there’s…

Hahaha well... I was a bit angry when I posted that. It isn’t like TV, at all, which — don’t get me started on how that convinces people it’s easy, because if that truly was how we all did our jobs, then yes, anyone could do it.

This is all good evidence as to why if anything we should make it harder, not easier, to become a lawyer. I know a lot of attorneys who passed the bar and, with that, truly gave their last fuck, who are playing malpractice bingo at this point.

UGH there is a judge in a nearby county who has an open reputation for groping young female attorneys

No, I don’t resent my career, at least most of the time. I find it incredibly satisfying and worth all of the rather substantial sacrifices I have made, time and time again, and would do those things again. However, I do get incredibly frustrated and angry when people are so dismissive, not only of the hard work it…

My vote is cannabis flower in a vaporizer; the Pax is obviously the top of the line but lots of other vaporizers do a good job. You’re not smoking, you’re inhaling vapor (the vaporizer heats but does not combust/burn the herb), so you’ll have some throat irritation which can make you cough. You get the benefit of the…

I can appreciate that she is taking an interest in a worthy cause, but it’s a bit insulting to those of us who busted our asses and lived very boring lives trying to be nerds when an Instagram model acts like this is something anyone can do if they just spend a couple hours a day practicing

I saw this and while my first reaction to Kim K was “stay in your lane, we have enough narcissistic assholes in this profession already,” I have to admit that my secondary and more insistent reaction was, “settle down, anyone who has heard that woman talk for more than four seconds knows for a fact that there is no…

Let me clarify that I did not buy into the “4/20"-Hitler-weed connection... just that I genuinely thought weed was bad for any of the host of other reasons we’ve all been taught that weed = bad (makes you horny/hungry/tired, has no other benefit, makes you lazy, etc.)

growing up in the Bible belt, this coincidence was definitely exploited by rumor-mongering Jesus-obsessed grade schoolers to convince us all to associate weed with Nazis

I mean if there’s some kind of medical issue, I can see needing to “force” your kid to eat... but honestly if your kid is of a relatively healthy weight, forcing them to eat seems kind of like a bad idea. Partly because we in this country already have a fucked up relationship with food/portions/dieting…

I’m really sorry for that long-ass post

I’ll share my thoughts; ymmv.

I’m struggling to find the article now, but I’m pretty sure the myth about “your vagina needs to breathe... if you wear synthetic underwear and it stays ‘moist,’ you’ll get a yeast infection” has been pretty soundly debunked
