Sickening in what way?

I am in total agreement. It’s doping, period, even if it’s for a medical cause. An athlete should not to have to compete against someone and their team of endocrinologists.

HOT TAKE WARNING

They should have required the testosterone injections be stopped and verified the levels were back to normal. Then compete all you want. We all know testosterone gives you an advantage or college/pro athletes wouldn’t use them. Then we would know if this kid won based on skill or won with skill combined with the…

That’s the point, he doesn’t want to wrestle girls, girls don’t want to wrestle him, and the UIL is saying that the situation created by their rules that require him to wrestle as a girl and upsets everyone except the UIL isn’t their problem.

Yeah, he should be wrestling with the guys. Like he wants to.

Going to try to be as careful as possible here, but while he should be able to compete in the boys division without everyone losing their shit, don’t those parents have a point that someone on testosterone maybe shouldn’t be able to wrestle girls?  

I love Uber purely for the fact that it’s killing the taxi industry. I could write a 100 page book of all the shitty cab experiences I’ve had.

I’ve ridden in a taxi in the US once in the past decade. I needed an 8 mile ride to the airport with wife and 2 year old. Called major cab company, everyone’s heard of them. Taxi shows up on time, after that the problems start. Cab looks pretty beat up, surprise. Cab absolutely reeks of cigarettes. Trunk loaded…

I get a good laugh whenever people claim that Uber is more dangerous than taxis. I’ve had experiences in cabs with drunk/sleepy drivers, coked out drivers, creepy old men, drivers who are smoking, etc. On more than one occasion I’ve had to ask a cab driver to pull over and let me out and then call another cab. And the…

Indeed, the ‘everyone a contractor’ economy will only work when we have enough fundamental rights (particularly healthcare) to make such low paying/erratic work compatible with a decent standard of living. Otherwise it’s hello third world.

Fucking good, Uber’s “I swear, I’m not a taxi service” Bullshit needs to stop. All these governments are just giving Uber a pass to completely ignore rules that everyone else has to follow is dumb. 

This is how people whose parents were rich think that they made it on their own.

This is VERY true. Growing up, I went to inner city public schools where the couple of “rich” kids had lawyer dads and got used cars for their 16th birthdays. My one friend had a lake house and went to Hilton Head every year for spring break.

One of the things that makes me super angry when I hear about the American health system is how poor people just don’t go to the doctors. It confuses me, because it just means people get sicker and eventually cost more (totally ignoring the human pain cost). For example, I can’t remember the last time I paid for the…

As someone who used to babysit rich kids in CT, I agree. They don’t know any different. Everyone else involved in their lives is rich or help and kids don’t assume the help is poor. Even the moms would forget sometimes and give me some time off to “hang with my friends” while we were on vacation in Martha’s Vineyard…

I don’t know if Blue Ivy understands yet that her family is “special.” She is a very little kid and has lived a rarified existence, so it’s likely that she thinks everyone lives this way. I imagine it’ll be quite some time before she understands the broader world and her family’s place in it.

Plus, as another commenter said, the only way to give birth en route to the hospital is to have already made the decision to go to the hospital.

Yes! This is the main issue i have. Why the hell was she stuck in jail for such a bullcrap charge. They should have ROR’d her, especially being that heavily pregnant.

We apparently live in bizarro world where people end up in jail with 10k bonds for *driving on a suspended license*.

Seriously, she had no business being there. Impound the car if she’s a dangerous driver, stick an ankle monitor on her, whatever, but jail? FFS. What a waste of money.
