Honestly, I hope he is at least entertaining the idea of dropping out. I understand if he doesn’t, he has every right to stay in, but I would lose a lot of respect for him if he isn’t even mentally weighing the pros and cons. Something, eventually, will need to be done to diffuse the #bernorbust insanity.

Basically! These are basically in party elections, so it’s the process of selecting the party’s candidate. Since there are only two viable parties it’s a big deal. It’s the only opportunity people in states that solidly go republican or democrat have to really influence the election.

How does it matter? She has a show that is really good. The current daily show is, meh, not bad but not fantastic. It’s really hard to be fantastic 4 nights a week.

I’m not supporting either of them (I’ll support whoever *wins* but I don’t have much of a preference for either, they both have issues). I wish that we had younger candidates (late 40s, 50s) on the dem side. I feel that someone slightly younger is more electable than someone in their late 60s.

As long as he has a good vice pres, that’s not a big issue imho. Clinton is 68, so not as old as Bernie, but definitely in the “death from natural causes” age range.

I was going to vote for Bernie at first under a similar thought process, but then Michigan happened and suddenly all the polls that seemed so obvious weren’t. I flip flopped several times over several days and finally voted for Clinton.

I was fine with voting for Sanders if it was 99.9% clear he couldn’t win. But when…

I’ve learned that the less I do for my face, the better. At this point I don’t even use soap usually (unless it’s visibly dirty then of course), just warm water followed by spf 15 lotion and/or BB creme. When I’ve tried soap daily my face is just red and dry and an overall mess.

Yes, because sharing a story about working your butt off in theatre while other people profit off of it on an article focused on theatre workers rights is totes inappropriate?

Because you get hated by both extremes.

I was once involved in a similar project with a youth theater company. We were suppose to workshop a play for several months and then “tour” for the rest of the year, but we only had funds to workshop and perform a few initial performances.

And LOL I have no clue what happened to the play. I was paid minimum wage for…

This eventually works?

For infant care, the ratios are often 1:4 and 1:3. Then you have at least one person in administration, the janitor, required education, etc.

Thus the mace.

There are also many unvaccinated autistic children. The antivaxxers ignore them.

The hypothesis was that MMR caused “leaky gut” syndrome. Basically proteins getting into the blood, breaking the blood/brain barrier, and causing some encephalitis like condition that results in autism.

Autism Speaks is awful. They siphon donations from other service based charities (Easter Seals, etc, nonprofits that work to help autistic people). Something like 40% of the funds go to research (primarily genetic) and another 40% goes to fundraising/”awareness” (ie:more fundraising).

Thank you for adding that caveat. A lot of people seem to be throwing around other “causes” that aren’t well vetted. The strongest evidence is a strong genetic component, but beyond that...

It’s worth stating that there’s a lot of issues with correlation and causation here. Having a child late in life may, in part, mean you are more likely to have an autistic phenotype (or other such risk factor altogether unrelated to age). It’s also possible these parents are more likely to seek a diagnosis.

People with allergies to vaccine components can usually be safely vaccinated. In the most extreme cases it involves something like dosing the person with benadryl, having an epi pen handy, and having the person hang around the doctors office for a few hours. The amount of the allergen is usually so small that the…

It looks like it was very well loved. I’m sure the pages were falling out.
