WHO THE HELL ARE ALL YOU LADIES THAT YOU CAN SMILE YOUR WAY OUT OF FUCKING TICKETS - AAARGH!!!!!

I agree with this completely, but would add one more caveat to the end: or they are white and don’t have any black friends. I have lived for the last few years in a town with almost no ethnic diversity. When I tell my current white friends about experiences I’ve had in the past with black friends, they don’t…

I see you literally have read none of this thread. My brother contracted Lyme. It was a total bitch for him and it is an amazingly awful disease to have. That being said- while he was in the hospital, I tried to research it (as I knew very little about it before) and there is an entire, and insane conspiracy about its…

The one and only time I was pulled over was for expired stickers, and it was one day after they expired. The cop who pulled me over at 8 am on a Sunday in a deserted part of downtown also felt it necessary to tow my car due to expired stickers, and leave me on the side of the road with no phone - it was 2002, and I…

Not surprising. One of my good friends is a black man who drives a Porsche convertible, and a few months ago he got pulled over for entering and then exiting the left turn lane (he was lost). The cop who pulled him over got out of the car, and just stood and leaned against his cruiser and waited to for back up to…

No. I’m not. That’s exactly what I’m trying to explain to Reynolds. I even drove around with an expired inspection sticker for 8 months and I was never stopped. My boss (white guy) drove around for a year with an expired sticker and was never stopped. My husband (white) has never been stopped. In fact we were at the…

I just responded to a similar comment, and while I place my faith in science, I also believe in what I can see, and I’ve seen more than my fair share of chronic Lyme cases (or what we’re referring to as chronic Lyme). Nobody can fake this crap, and nobody would WANT it. Maybe it’s something Lyme does to your system…

I, white woman, got pulled over a few times way back in my sassy youth, usually for speeding. Regardless of the vehicle, from old junker to borrowed BMW, I was usually able to quickly smile my way out of the ticket. And yeah, I was actually speeding all the times I got pulled over.

If cops believe you are “mismatched” it’s part of the profile. My husband and I were stopped by a couple of drug interdiction officers when we were moving cross country for supposedly speeding (we weren’t), and I’m positive if we hadn’t had a toddler and two cats in the back seat, they would have wanted to search us…

The white kids I went to high school with got stopped maybe once a year. They were shit drivers. So yeah, a grown ass man getting stopped 3-4 times a year strikes me as a lot of stops.

He must have. Or, the hitched a ride on the Greys spacecraft-conspiracy theories really start to fall apart in the details

We also have Lyme disease transmitted by ticks in the UK and in Europe. Did the Nazi scientist take his super ticks on holiday?

She's also, unlike some politicians who shall remain nameless, a huge, huge advocate of sex education & making sure that all women, regardless of income, have access to reproductive health services & safe abortions. Healy's the first ever openly gay AG in the country AND just to prove how bad ass she is, she spent 2…

No, I totally know it’s real, and I’m not ignorant and I don’t believe the conspiracy- But I find conspiracy theories endlessly fascinating, and the insanity surrounding Lyme is by far the one that fascinates me the most.

My brother had it- I know this shit is real. But there is still an insane conspiracy theory about it.

There’s this whole crazypants conspiracy theory that lyme disease is a genetically altered bio-weapon created by a nazi scientist who emigrated to the US after WW2 (via Operation Paperclip, a perennial conspiracy wellspring) This nazi scientist was working on Plum Island Animal Research Facility (boom, scary secret…

Ummmm....you know Lyme disease is real, right? There’s this really cool place you can go called a medical clinic (it’s super fun! they have needles!) and they can test for *gasp* BACTERIA and prove the existence of a well known disease! Come to my town for a week. Watch the people limping down the sidewalk because…

Yeah my husband and I were stuck in a hotel room for two weeks a couple of months ago. We ended up watching so much HGTV, it all started to blend together: Property brothers/rehab addict/house hunters/house hunters international/income property/love it or list or list it/ in an endless constant loop. And so many of…

Even if it's got women bending over this would be super fucking queer and that would make it EVEN BETTER.

1. I hope this video has men in yoga pants bending over.
