what kind of asshole would slam their doors on a dressed up dog?! TAKE ALL THE CANDIES YOU CUTE PUPPY YOU

I think Myrna was referring specifically to wait times in the ER - crying Ebola just to be seen faster in the ER was pointless and a waste of time (not even considering that its messed up) JUST to be treated faster when it was likely that she would have been seen first anyway.

I.....I didn't know chipwiches were a thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you. She should have had the prior background and training to think that maybe, just this time, she should err on the side of caution.

Maybe it depends a lot on the tone of voice a person uses when using uptalk. I also wonder if it might be cultural - I'm a native Chinese speaker and I can't think of any instance where I've heard men or women use uptalk in Chinese within my community, so it is entirely possible that hearing it just feels weird to my…

That's exactly how I feel! You described it way better.

EDIT: damn, i didn't mean to reply to yours (although I agree). I clicked on the wrong "reply" link...well. whatever.

Agreed. TBH I don't even understand some of the exercises. I know absolutely nothing about it, but what I do see is people using their body weight to swing themselves or a weight around at the gym. I'm sure over time, a person would get a sense of how they can shift their weight to accommodate these motions, but…

I also suspect that her albums are heavily produced to sound as close to "perfect" as possible, because I've watched a few of her better (surprisingly) live performances and they are "meh" at best. But her last two albums are solid, especially the song she did with Childish Gambino.

I'm not good at skin care =/ But what's your sleep schedule like? My skin looks like shit if I can't get to bed before 2am (like this week, before my damn test) and get a good night's sleep. Are you using a mild face wash without salicylic acid? That tends to dry out skin and cause skin to over-produce oil.

I always mutter "when you die" under my breath when they say that to make myself feel better. But I can't say that aloud, because that will somehow be seen as an invitation to be assaulted/harassed more. #itsalwaysourfault

I totally get the video game thing. As a kid I never owned any because my parents never had the money. Now I think games have evolved into a cheap form of entertainment (provided you don't always buy games/consoles on Day 1). PC versions of games go down in prices so quickly that the only sacrifice I have to make…

I think he was family practice, which to crudely put, is primary care + OB. Not every resident is mandated to be trained in abortions, especially in his generation. Even now I don't think it's mandatory to be trained in such. For all I know, he completely opts out on the OB part of family practice and just refers…

I suppose you could say he's in the pro-choice closet and still in denial for religious reasons (he was a very devout person). My impression was that he's more concerned that his patients would seek out a shitty doc and he would never see them again. That or abortions make him feel squicked out and he identified that…

Not all!! Most though, unfortunately :[ I met this really nice doc who said that he personally would not perform abortions for his patients, but would refer them to a doc he knew who was reliable and good. But he and his wife would volunteer for this organization that helps mothers (I assume mostly single moms) take…

This sounds terrible - but I'm more horrified by the fact that my friend has a tendency to bite her nails and this morning I sat on one of her fingernails. I thought I somehow sat on a splinter...until I pulled it out from my jeans.

Her excerpt reminds me of a convo I had recently with a dude (who was white-surprise!). I intended to complain that my school's workshops were not diverse enough. 99% of our workshops focused exclusively on African American communites, which is GREAT but we also work with other ethnic communities and underserved…

I have never eaten any of these!! UNACCEPTABLE!! I MUST FIND WHERE TO EAT THESE NAO!!!

I'm all pro-Mosuo and loved learning about them, but I take issue with the contrast with the Mosuo vs. Western culture. Paternalism exists in Western and Eastern cultures. While logically, I know you were trying to talk about Mosuo practices in contrast with paternalistic practices, my initial gut reaction was that…

"Mint-condition uterus." Love that. Going to use this sarcastically in my anatomy tutoring sessions.
