She’s a 43 year old getting a PhD in Philosophy after already getting a JD. So I guess it’s not a problem that this case will never let her get a job, since she clearly isn’t interested in being a productive member of society.

The American Nazi definition of “dapper” is not having a chewing tobacco and grease stain on your wifebeater that kind of look like Robert Lee if you squint really hard. 

I’m going to start taking bets on what Trump’s proposed solution will be:

I really wish news outlets would stop using “alt right” and really just start consistently calling these people Nazis. 

It’s OK, it’s not like all this coal waste is being stored right near where the Trump voters live and raise their children. 

I’m guessing the shoplifter was black, so the cops really had to get him

They’re just huge fans of Man in the High Castle!

I just knew Biden would be the candy corn. One of my former very old and very white bosses used to bring candy corn for the office every Monday. Nobody in the office really had any beef with the candy corn, but nobody really ever wanted to eat it, much less eat it weekly. But the boss would get really upset if the

When one company represents 70% of the market, it effectively represents the industry, and its bad practices reflect poorly on the industry. I haven’t seen these responsible vaping companies you’re so concerned about making moves to ensure that vaping is safe and marketed appropriately. I don’t know if you work for a

Juul has something like 70% percent market share in the US, and they were actually marketing to teens and young adults as being completely safe. I’m sure that there were plenty of fine players in the vaping industry who only want to help people quit smoking, but the majority of it is a shady unregulated mess. They’re

I agree that it’s safer than traditional cigarettes, and should absolutely be an option for people looking to quit or reduce the risk of their smoking habit. But it’s being marketed as completely safe relative to cigarettes to lure in new smokers, which is the part I have an issue with

A reasonable approach would be to say that if you’re a smoker, the nicotine vape stuff isn’t great but probably not as bad for you as the very well document risks of traditional cigarettes. But marketing the nicotine vapes as safer than cigarettes to lure in new users shouldn’t be allowed in the absence of data and

It’s getting really hard to keep track of who is trying the hardest to out-Jets the Jets. Maybe we need to start awarding points in categories such as “medical and front office staff trying to incapacitate players”, “on-field fuckery”, “coaching hijinks”, etc

These leagues also don’t have the best track record on solvency or paying costs of medical injuries, so you’re basically beating up your body for jack shit and no guarantees of anything. It’s built entirely on exploiting desperate and deluded people

The problem is that the people doing the coding usually have no medical experience, and certainly no background knowledge of healthcare disparities. There’s a very small pool of people that are knowledgable about both medical care and computer systems. There have been discussions about using current MD/PhD combined

Ugh. The issue with using AI or machine learning systems for stuff like that is that they learn from existing datasets. There are tons of studies showing how biased the medical system is against people of color, so now you’re just having a machine learn the institutional racism to propagate it in a fancier way.

I’m sure Ted Cruz will be opposed to this, because Communism or something

I mean, I consider myself a smarty smart science man since I have an MD and a PhD in molecular biology. Plus I’m an oncologist so I do have some understanding of what things have and have not been proven to be associated with cancer. But yea, because I value the medical and scientific advice of people with medical and

I can’t tell if you’re making a serious argument or trying to mock the fad idiots. The dumbest nutritional arguments are those about early human diets or paleo or whatever the hell you call it. There’s no evidence that people back then were any healthier, and they often died of disease before they had the opportunity

I guess as long as he doesn’t start telling people to put Jade eggs in their vaginas it’s probably OK
