But it’s not. Not to knock MDs and DOs, but I’d expect someone that’s spent (likely) half a decade doing research, working in a lab, and writing a dissertation to be much better educated.

I mean at this point I’d kindly ask to be taken off a paper if Bialik was primary.

I hate how she couches it in the “Some people believe it, not me, but some people” bullshit. Like, even stating it without criticizing/mocking the sentiment (which it should be) is standard “mainstreaming”.

Thank you for your diamond commentary, uh... The Ghost of James Madison’s Rage Boner

I can see the makings in this case where it can be used to help girls report rape/sexual abuse. At least, that’ll be what evangelicals will push. When in actuality there’s a much easier, less personal-autonomy-infringing way called, oh I dunno, “believing victims and following up in good faith”

To be fair Kelly’s actions of cataloging his pedophilia don’t exactly mesh with someone smart, either.

What’s weirder is that Renee’s British accent is just the worst, but her natural accent is strangely relaxing.

I believe her calling him a pedophile was due to his having sex with an underaged teen. Trying to hookup your fiancée’s 19yo sister with a 40yo friend, though, only solidifies the “Sex Trafficker” accusations.

If he sticks the landing, The Founders trilogy would be good in that it starts as a standard fantasy yarn, then goes a bit more off the rails (in a good way). Also bonus for queer representation.

OTOH, when I think of quality game writing, I don’t think Bethesda. Not that I think their writers suck, just that it feels like company-mandated commitment to blandness.

Too soon!

I think it’s mostly that Antonoff functions as a flat surface for the artists to work off of, and prevents them from going to their worst tendencies. Not to dismiss his talent, he’s talented. But it feels like his role is mostly in making the artist not fall apart in production.

When listening to Chemtrails and the leads from Solar Power I was left thinking how the same producer-artist combo could have made something so mediocre.

Username checks out.

I’ve seen my AnCom friends struggle with having livable wages and feeling fulfilled, and the necessities of having to invest in buying a house to keep their head above water in the long term, and keeping “legitimate”. (Spoiler, you absolutely can own a house and be an Anarchist). But buying a $3m mansion in West…

Weird how I say waning ability to prevent mild-to-moderate illness and the NYT says 90% effective at preventing severe disease, huh?

I think the guns overall being samey had more to do with the guns feeling samey than overheating mechanic. Aside from a few of the assault rifles that were semi-auto, it just came down to finding the one that found the sweet point of accuracy and damage for everything. In ME2 there’s some actual mechanical differences…

Don’t know if you put the graphs together or if you all have someone on staff, but fucking thank you for keeping it colorblind friendly.

Like, I don’t blame people hating America them for the many, many, many shitty things we do. But 1) there’s ever growing evidence that a booster shot is needed and 2) this assumes a static amount of vaccinations available. It’s a production and distribution issue, clear and simple. We’re not taking vaccines away, in…

We need it because studies from heavily vaccinated Israel are showing that double-vaccination’s protection wanes after about 8 months in preventing mild-to-moderate COVID symptoms.
