Oh, so ACA was “rushed through” according to the GOP despite many weeks of debates, amendments, etc., but this bill somehow isn’t a rush job? Cognitive dissonance is a helluva drug.

So, I have a confession to make.

Is there a single picture of McConell where he doesn’t look like a geriatric sea-turtle struggling to hold in a fart?

It is a shitty restaurant. Give me one restaurant that does a type of cuisine well than a mediocre one that tries to do everything.

Came here to say the same thing. But in fairness, they do have a “skinny menu,” where you can get somewhat less appetizing crap for under 500 calories.

Do something? That’s their entire sell. “Eat enough in one sitting to provide caloric support for an entire village for a month! Free refills on Coke!”

My mom got blackout at my favorite bar when I was in college by drinking bourbon and waters trying to keep up with my guy friends, who were borderline alcoholics. She smoked cigs with them and regaled them with stories of her drug-fueled youth and was almost arrested for having her drink outside of the bar. It was…

Every diner and greek restaurant would offer you that variety though.

I’m surprised it’s only 50%. Those slices must weigh a pound each.

Are they going to do something about the fact that their slices of cheesecake are nearly or exactly 50% of the recommended daily caloric intake? Same goes for over half of their entire menu. Because I feel like THAT is a much more pressing issue.

Is it? Is it supposed to be seen as good? Essentially everything on the menu is just frozen and heated up to serve. I thought it had the reputation of being a shitty restaurant?

their food is overrated

This was exactly the right place. On the first Sunday of each month, Mormon congregations set aside an hour of their Sunday services for open-mic “Fast and Testimony Meeting,” which usually consists of everything but testimonies: travelogues, political rants, “God helped me find my key!” stories, unintelligible…

This makes me crazy too. I was a middle schooler in 1990, before AZT came on the market and tens of thousands of Americans were diagnosed every year. My parents, teachers, and coaches were all terrified about HIV. Sex Ed was comprehensive. practical, and constant, if a little on the scary side (but none of this…

I like to shit on conservatives as much as pretty much anyone on here, but liberals are just as lousy with anti-vaxxers as conservatives. That is not party exclusive.

I’ve been saying well before 11/9 Trump is a threat to the public health. God knows what would happen if we had another Ebola crisis or even flu season. The man is a anti vaxxer. Oh ok skeptic. His VP as Indiana governor let a HIV crisis fester. He appointed a anti vaxxer as HHS secretary. If someone recommended Jenny…

To your last point, see: the conservative/anti-vaxx overlap.

It really feels like this country has hit a bad turning point. If McConnell pulls off this secret healthcare maneuver, we truly are fucked and not only on healthcare. He will try to use this strategy every chance he gets. One-party rule without even giving lipservice to the Constitution or rule of law. I think this is…

And yet the Republicans aren’t going to lift a finger to remove him as long as they can destroy healthcare and give tax cuts to the super wealthy.

My students do not have meaningful memories of the AIDS crisis at its highest pitch — before the “cocktail” treatment was introduced in the 90s, for sure, HIV/AIDS was an automatic death sentence with a very short horizon. So I have to explain things like ACT UP, Larry Kramer, etc. It’s not as if AIDS went away, of…
