I mean would you say telling mothers not to drink heavily during pregnancy is a “horrific prospect” because it means fewer children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome or keeping thalidomide from being prescribed to pregnant women because fewer children will be born with limb defects? Should we stop trying to address lead…

Those were the assholes that raped Audrie not Daisy

I think quite a few might not plan to drink, but were also raised to try to please and obey boys so when a boy wants them to drink they have trouble saying ‘no’.

Yeah plus they turned it into a weird class thing- all the “liberals” were rich and all the “right-wingers” were working class. Which is bizarre since I know plenty of liberals that don’t make that much and the real power behind the Republican Party is the rich donors who would sell the country off piece by piece for…

I’m mostly confused at her choice to label them vintage 90s gym shorts. They would have been colorful and definitely not cotton

Yeah honestly I don’t see finding a new fantasy as necessarily an improvement. Someone could be perfectly happy with their current fantasies or get into a weirder new fantasy that was harder to satisfy. Or it just wouldn’t impact things at all. I am surprised people are solo masturbating less. You’d think with all the…

Four in Swedish is actually fyra

Are there a lot of Swedish people in Dallas at this time?

Also that there happens to be a lady in town with the name “Olga Foroga” is a great coincidence. It’s not exactly common

I think there was probably the context if the African American character was a frequent character of the comic (I’m not familiar with Six Chix). If someone is saying something to Dilbert, the joke is probably on the other person for being stupid/cruel. 

Yeah- I think cause could certainly help in prevention (we have enough cause to know that chlorpyrifos is bad even if it might not exactly cause ‘true’ autism and anything that reduces rate of intellectual disorder and ADHD helps with autism since having those as a comorbidity usually makes it much worse), but there…

I mean there are many reliable rating scales and observational tools- there just isn’t a genetic test I’d really recommend yet. I do wish they’d mentioned that the risperadol and antidepressants are actually not within the “loony treatment” category and are something that’s considered more commonly for severe…

Those horses still look wonky though. What’s up with their faces?

We don’t have much evidence for non-genetic causes- there are some correlational known relationships like having a mother who took antidepressants while pregnant and there’s a popular pesticide which has been known to cause increased disabilities in children who live near where it was used but we don’t know definitely…

Actually Risperdol and antidepressants are an accepted treatment for severe behaviors in autism. You wouldn’t need to track down a niche doctor to get a prescription for that

Yeah- and I can never forget that not that recently K-Fed got her custody reduced. We don’t even know the details behind that- but it’s probably bad since usually the courts are more lenient on mothers and she’s rich. We can’t tell what Brittany’s family wants to keep private or how bad she can still get- sure the…

I mean she just had to go mute for a year after having her throat slit and the world ended because her father had her use her powers to hurt her sibling. I could see that making her realize that her powers weren’t an easy fix- especially when given a new start on life 

Eh it depends on how well he matches her- if he’s still able to understand her humor and a good sport about it he has a better chance than those guys who go deer in the headlights when a girl is really funny or charismatic. Still if you’re attractive you can usually make “shy” work if you’re nice and interesting. I’d…

Yeah- and sadly it’s not correlated with actually being uneducated. One of the hospital speech therapists from when I was an intern has been posting pro-hydroxycholoriquine stuff since Trump supported that crazy lady who believes in demon sex 

They honestly don’t care. They want any excuse and don’t care about sick people as long as it’s not themselves or their friends and family. And even if it was any of those, they’d probably go with “why did this terrible, totally unexpected thing happen to me?!”
