“Never board the somewhat empty subway car on an otherwise packed train.”

Not exactly advice per say, and not exactly given to me... but an interaction I watched in traffic once has stuck with me, wherein one party was busy trying to cut off the other party, shouting and gesturing, etc. They arrived at a red light at last, and the offended party exited his vehicle, pounded on the asshole’s…

One day I’m walking up to my apartment and notice a cinder block is sitting underneath one of my bedroom windows. I’m puzzled, how long has that been there? There’s a dumpster for our building’s trash at the end of the drive, and I think, maybe it accidentally ended up over next to my window when someone was trying to…

Back in the early 2000s I moved in with a now ex-boyfriend. He lived in a bungalow style house in one of the neighborhoods of a large midwestern city. This happened when I was taking a personal day from work after moving in to finish getting things arranged and unpacked.

Bombshell quote from a national security council official:

Latinidad is a concept created in USA, how can you cancel a concept in Latin America that doesn't actually exist there.

Ok, but as someone who works in pharma, specifically in the drug development side of things, this is a pretty standard response to unexplained deaths and serious adverse events directly linked to a product. Just because vaping is cool* doesn’t mean that industry caution should be thrown out of the window at the…

If any demographic loves a Swedish mock-Satanic heavy metal band performing as if they were a 1960s group, surely it’s Jezzies in a thread dunking on a former VP for being so old he has dentures. That Venn diagram is basically a single circle.

He heard Ghost was releasing new music on Friday the 13th and he’s getting ready to perform the osculum obscenum on a goat.

So snark on Kinrgy, not her coming out.

There’s also an oft cited study that claims the opposite, so I’m not sure there’s any real consensus and I'm not sure most doctors care to think about it either way. As a plus size woman who couldn’t get a straight answer about the effectiveness of the pill, I wholeheartedly recommend the copper iud

Also remember that weight affects the effectiveness of the pill. One study (Holt et al.) found that folks who are overweight are 60% more likely to experience a failure, while people who are obese are 70% more likely to experience a failure. In my experience most medical professionals don’t make this super clear. (And…

Pulmonary emboli (and other blood clotting complications) are a real risk with hormonal birth control - they’re not common, but as you unfortunately found out the hard way, are possible.

I adore Marc and I won’t apologize. His stand-up really isn’t, it’s more like weird group therapy, but he’s genuinely the kindest person, legit has some SERIOUS ADD and is very transparent about who he is and what he struggles with... and Sam is the perfect role for him. “Who doesn’t trust a man with a mustache full…

I don’t know! His self-loathing? His rambling? His frustration with everything? His constant talk about wanting to do better and be better?

What is it about Marc Maron that attracts so many of us against our better judgment? He’s like the world’s sexiest red flag.

I have an attraction towards Marc Maron, but he’s the kind of person that you will regret getting with!  His baggage is endless. I want Sam and Ruth to be friends forever. I don’t want her to regret getting with him AND she will. I know that Sam isn’t Marc... but he kind of is.

Same! They’re the opposite of an eyeroll for me. I also kinda think the creators like them too. If they wanted a Don/Peggy kinda relationship between them, I don’t think we’d be rooting for them at this point of the series...they would’ve quashed that notion out earlier on.

My husband and I saw his standup the other night and there is definitely something about him. Also, he took pics with anyone who wanted one after and was very nice. 

I don’t want that to happen but I am also weirdly attracted to Marc Maron. He plays “himself” on Maron but Sam Sylvia was the part he was born to play.
