I’d be a lot more interested to give Trump some neurocognitive tests.

I am not an obstetrician, but the reason for high C section rates may be more to do with warding off lawsuits than increasing profits. I forget the exact numbers, but parents are much more likely to sue for a delayed or absent cesarian, than for doing one that turned out to be maybe not necessary. Doctors face no…

She wrote an academically-supported report on sexual assault and published it on a gamer blog?? My god, her ovaries are so large and dense they’re threatening to disrupt the orbit of the Earth. Screw Hillary Clinton, elect this woman president and see how hard she slaps the GOP down!

And to shed like a mofo. I have never been more relieved than when my son moved out and took his Norwegian Forest Cat with him.

The Cat Fanciers Association informs me Norwegian Forest Cats are indeed likely to be the breed Vikings took with them on their ships. My son is very into vikings, and he was absurdly excited when I accidentally discovered his cat (rescued from a pound at about 8 weeks old) is at least partly NFC. Their Norwegian…

Well-trained singers do lose a tone or two off the top of their range somewhere in their 30s, but it’s mainly the timbre and flexibility of the voice that changes with age. It’s like gymnasts - they will always maintain their technique, and if they keep up their training they will maintain most of their flexibility…

Oh god, don’t ever listen to Jimmy Barnes from Australian group Cold Chisel trying to sing these days. He spent his youth aggressively pushing a raised larynx and his voice is completely blown out.

As a dramatic sop...I agree totally, the cult of the high note is bullshit. Give a contralto Erda’s role from Wagner’s Ring Cycle and it’s magnificent. Give it to a coloratura and you will have a trainwreck. But it’s not Gaga’s range that’s the problem, it’s her technique. She’s got the entire head range to go but…

Or second degree murder?

Or that he wanted to look down in way that signals submission.

There may actually be some rationalisation possible for the sandals. Sandals can be scratchy and sweaty, and they would be hella comfy if padded with sheepskin. Gotta be the real thing, though, not that acrylic crap.

Off topic, but if anyone is having trouble with unsolicited dick pics, I have a possible solution. Next time you have your period, take a few pictures of your used sanitary products. If you receive unwelcome pictures, say nothing; simply send back a photo of your used tampons. I feel this could get results.

Sending it to a consenting adult; no problem.

What, so he organised this bullshit...and let real reporters in...and pretended he’d already taken questions from them...and tried to gaslight them that they had actually asked the fake questions themselves??

That means that your high school teachers should also have been fired, not that this lady should stay. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Well, there’s always Bill Cosby.

No problem!

Team no one (except Ms. Sorrell. Team Ms. Sorrell to infinity and beyond.)

In answer to (e)...Jacobs is not simply an artist. He’s an industry heavyweight and trendsetter. His designs and aesthetic are copied throughout the Western world, and that aesthetic is heavily Eurocentric. He’s one of the people that creates the double standard.

I see from your other replies what you meant. Obviously your original post didn’t read the way you intended. It happens. I agree that Trump’s policies are not likely to be nuanced!
