folks usually unpack emotional baggage

Shown the video by investigators, Boone agreed that it looked “bad.”

Not sure of your medical credentials, but I can assure you that face masks do next to nothing to protect the wearer of the mask from anything. At best, they may prevent the wearer from spreading their own germs, but even that is limited.

I am getting married in September, and while I did not want a lot of the traditional stuff (bridal shower, father daughter dance, etc. etc.), I got so much push back from the in laws who insisted on paying for half the wedding and basically lost their minds at the idea of not doing some of these things that I have…

According to a survey by Brides magazine, the average American wedding in 2018 cost $44,000, up from $27,000 just the year before.

I was on a Southwest* flight with my mom and we had taken aisle seats across from each other. A mother, let’s call her Chloe, with about a 2 year old child sat down in the window and middle seats next to my mom.

I travel at least three weeks out of the month or work. I have seen things that make me hate people. (That coupled with people actually voted for Trump, make it difficult to leave my house if I don’t have too)

Pretty furious that there are still people saying that the woman was in the wrong for that seat incident. First of all, she did have a disability (fused neck), but besides that, she paid for and selected a seat that reclines. She’s allowed to use it, full stop. If you’re mad, be mad at the airline that keeps squeezing…

I once sat next to a filthy man who thumbed through a stack of Asian porn mags for the entire five hours.  Interrupted only by shouting “TOMATO JUICE!” every time a flight attendant passed us. 

I’m on this train too. I was extremely leery of wrasslin’ a sproingy rubber thing in and out of my netherbits multiple times a day, and ew won’t it be gross? And it’s actually not! Well, okay, it IS, but it’s no grosser than any other option. And it’s super easy! And most of the time, you only have to deal with it…

IDK how I feel about comparing it to Wonder Woman, which was very much an archetypal hero origin story, and is also a movie that mostly features one woman surrounded by men. Birds of Prey/ Harley Quinn did something much more ambitious by giving us three origin stories for the Birds and the beginning of a redemption…

The naturalistic fallacy is an unslayable hyrda. Sadly, it is an effective marketing tool, and one disproportionatly applied to women’s (health) products. This type of crap plus anti-vaxers, and anti-GMO, makes me lament the sad state of scientific literacy in this country.

What if I told you that there is an app on the market...

Wasn’t this a storyline on an episode of Silicon Valley?

orrrr five more kids to start their own doomed and noble house...! hehehe

It’s not so much that they’re losing interest in providing those things. It’s that they’re gaining interest in actively denying those things to all but the wealthy.

I’m currently using One Medical, mostly because I live in an area where it’s very difficult to find a good primary care doctor and I was having some issues. I like that their appointments actually start on time and you get more time with an actual doctor. I do think they grossly overcharge and this became more…

This entire ecosystem, which appears to be getting bigger every day, was bankrolled and built by people who have concluded the only way to reform the system is to build another one where the simplest form of healthcare is a saleable and aspirational experience, not a service. And definitely not a right.

My first thought is that he must have spent years grooming his daughter to help with all this and the article supports that. As the leader of the friends group and the organizer for the housing, she probably picked his victims for him.

I grew up on the west coast, in a very liberal city, and there is an all-girls Catholic school in town that makes the girls wear full on sailor dresses as uniforms. I know that’s a common uniform for girls in Japan and South Korea. But in the US where it is not common, seeing teenage girls who look like fully grown…
