One man one woman thing could conceivably used to fire divorced folks. Which makes me wonder how many politicians would be left working if those are the rules?

No, that's the twenty dollar bills.

Every job ever has a back room where employees talk to each other in a casual manner they wouldn’t use in front of customers. You could film something that someone would have to apologize for in any of them.

Vaccinate or segregate yourself from the rest of society. Antisocial decisions have consequences, and the consequences shouldn't belong to unlucky bystanders.

Snake venom is natural too.

I don’t think they are really thinking of their children. They use the situation as an opportunity to feel superior — an oppressed minority penalized for seeing through the conspiracy.

However much money someone could theoretically be making off bits of pre-human goo it's not remotely as much as is made off the complete pregnancy, birth, and upbringing of a child. I always wonder if prolife groups are funded by diaper and formula companies.

One of my coworkers found out her daughter had cervical cancer at 14. Didn’t know her daughter was sexually active (daughter said just one time). Hadn’t heard of the vaccine at all. Doctor started treatment with the HPV vaccine, as that would at least protect her from other strains if she survives this one.

First thought after my tetanus shot was that I can stab myself with rusty nails without consequences.

Is it legal for a non-medical professional to provide prescription drugs to third parties, regardless of if it’s for sex or not? There are side effects and risks just like any other medication, and those risks are worse if the dose isn’t carefully monitored or is combined with alcohol or other drugs.

She says she was aware of the cheating. So this isn’t a perfect relationship suddenly turning tarnished, this is a questionable relationship turning darker. Defending a loved one is one thing, but if she knew about the drugging, the “scholarships”, etc she’s very nearly an accomplice.

Regardless of how they came to feel unsafe around their father, the fact exists that they don’t feel safe around him. If a relationship is going to be established, you have to start by making them feel safe.

I just hope the kids were too young to understand the reference.

I have to admit I’m surprised there are no friends or family members stepping in to get the kids out of the situation — in my family someone would have invited the kids over for a few weeks of sleepovers, movies and s’mores. Because you protect kids from shit like that.

Parents are not owed the love of their children. The judge is treating the children’s affection as if it were a asset to be awarded in the divorce.

Especially considering that Dad had them move to a foreign-to-them country, far from friends and school, multiple different languages, where portions of the country are definitively war zones. Mom is the one who brought them back to the country where they are comfortable making sure they had a stable environment with…

They can read for the set of genetic diseases for which tests are established, so you can find out whether you have a sickle cell anemia gene, whether you have risk factors for breast cancer or heart disease, Huntington’s disease . . . basically an assortment of rare conditions and known contributing factors. A friend…

“It can’t develop into a pony!”

Any particular embryo is more likely to be naturally lost (most within the first two months) than finish developing into a child. So really an embryo, if left alone, is most likely to become a non-viable bundle of cells expelled from the mother’s body. It’s an exception that it develops all the way into a person.

I think that’s where the “you can’t get pregnant via rape or incest” thing comes in. If you refuse to believe that any embryos are produced via violence, then you can agree to the death of the embryos you don’t think exist.
