They’ve been controlling the narrative about abortions, period, for way too fucking long. They’re the reason why democrats say the less offensive “pro-choice” instead of “pro-abortion.” It means the same damn thing but if you say you’re pro abortion some dumb fuck comes running, screaming that you want everyone to…

If you are interpreting anything I’m saying as an endorsement of the American health care system, you’re off base. For the record, I am in favor of socialized medicine, but a commitment to intellectual honesty requires that I don’t ignore obvious failures of those systems when they’re presented to me. 

I don’t quite understand the denial.  My understanding is that ECT has little to no proven long-term risks, even in children.  She was 17, not 7.  The fact that it can be quite effective at relieving intractable depression is not to be missed in this case.  It seems, given the alternative of letting her die, the risks…

When you say they “allowed her to die” remember the choice they had was to restrain and force-feed her or not, as they had previously by inducing a coma.

That is, of course, an incredibly important facet of the story. Still, how she died does matter. The fact that her parents and physicians simply allowed her to die when they could have saved her is important.

Whoops, I heard he was 61 from Casey Wilson’s RH podcast, which did not sound right at all. You’re right, Bravo sources place him at 74, which is my parents’ age, so I still find him pretty doddering. Tom Girardi, by comparison, is 80. The internet gives LVP’s age as ranging from 58 to 76, lol.

I think she treats humans the same way. She has some kind of saint complex. I’ve known quite a few people like this. You think oh cool, look at this amazing supportive person! How great. Then you realize everything is contractual, if someone doesn’t genuflect correctly the flip is switched. It’s a weird, subtle, slow…

Migration patterns: Why does Dad constantly ignore directions when he clearly doesn’t know where he is going?

My parents were always together, but my dad was largely absent when I was a kid. I mean, he was home, but he was always working, reading something or otherwise occupied. I used to be pretty angry about it, but as I got older I learned that he was just a dude that was crazy stressed about money and providing for his…

Yes, can we please have a concern-expose on spanx?

“Influencing” is just a fancy word to describe advertising to people who claim they’re too smart to fall for advertising.

I LOVED LaCroix, especially the Key Lime.

Then I found out about CEO Nick Caporella being a complete right wing banana sammich, and decided my bubbly money would be better used on the Target brand. Hooked on the Tropical Cherry right now. 

I hate sweetened drinks, so San Pelligrino is not a reasonable or even close substitute for plain sparkling water with a flavor essence. Is La Croix the best? Probably not, but it’s often the most reasonably priced (besides store brands, which are hit and miss for me).

Why doesn’t anyone seem to understand that I don’t want to drink something full of so much sugar and synthetic bull bile that it tastes like a clown pissed in a cotton candy machine? I’m trying to hydrate and I want something slightly more interesting than water. The objective isn’t to beat the hell out of my tongue…

couple of decades because of the Depression and the war

Ugh, 1970's: when harvest gold or avocado was your big appliance decision in the kitchen. They were such on trend colors, compared to baby blue, pink and yellow from the 60's.

because not unlike the report he’s been using to claim TOTAL EXONERATION and NO COLLUSION (despite none of that actually being in the report), there’s a lot of room to spin it as another witch hunt, unfair to trump, he prevailed over those evil Dems though, hurrah hurrah hurrah. it would make it even easier for him to…

They’re mad because they think women only want hot guys — but they won’t settle for even merely “cute” women and want women who are “as beautiful as possible”? I doubt they see the hypocrisy in that stance.

can’t surgically alter a personality or misogyny though. so, the problem for these dudes will remain.

A huge issue with burnout is that even if you could take a sick day, it likely wouldn’t do anything. There’s no cure except leaving that job. Not even a vacation helps. Maybe for a week or two, but after that, the burnout comes back. It is perpetual hell, as not everyone can just leave a job.
