yeah unless I can shove the phone up my vagina and it blocks sperm, big no.

omg no ladies. no. the pill, an IUD, condoms = BC. I don’t care how good an app is, just, no. This is bullshit. No.

Well duh, everyone knows (or should know) that tracking your fertility, even with an app, is an unreliable method of birth control. Back in the 1980s this was called the rhythm method. There was a joke, “What do you call people who use the rythym method?” “Parents.”

I’m sorry, but you don’t use a method with 7% failure and then act all surprised when you get pregnant. If only 492 other women use the app it can cause 37 pregnancies and still be within advertised thresholds.

No. You only use post-nominal initials in professional settings. If you see an attorney or a doctor use them outside of that know you are dealing with a massive tool.

No, it’s not. There is no legal name exception in the US for medical doctors than any numerous professionals who earn a degree. An MD/DO designation does not change your legal name. It is the same as in the U.K: used in the professional setting. Although I am sure there are some arrogant individuals using a…

No, only on medical documents.

Speaking as an American MD, no, post-nominal letters are not part of our “legal” name. On anything hospital/patient related, my name is followed by “MD” and “attending physician.” In my personal life, I don’t think anything in the legal sense (bank accounts, credit cards, titles) has that superlative junk.

I simply can’t imagine them doing that outside of a professional setting. But possibly some do?

You “could” use it yes, but no place actually would.

Fuck. I hope there is a taking back the #shitholecountries.

What struck me in that paragraph was the suggestion that women are “utterly derailed” - it’s such cheap hyperbole that it immediately marks the author as someone who is being disingenuous, to say the least.

Well, if it’s any consolation, the public are behind you (except for the people who voted Tory, of course).

This is good to know, as we are thinking of expanding our family and now live in the UK.

It was weird, she was overbearing with the tablet/implant, but never seemed to actually sit down and talk to her daughter about things like what was happening to grandpa or what was happening with her social life at school. The tablet allowed her to be simultaneously overbearing and hands-off.

Isn’t it, though? — staggering, I mean.

Because healthy people are not as easely coerced and/or frightened...

Because they want to kill the weak. They imagine that their money and influence will keep them from getting and dying from infectious diseases and food poisoning. They are correct in the short run but wrong in the long run.

Also because there are an alarming number of people who, with utter sincerity, believe “America is a marketplace, not a country”

Also because there are an alarming number of people who, with utter sincerity, believe “America is a marketplace, not a country” (I read this in a comment on a news story this morning and I don’t know if its that asshole’s original thought or some Ayn Rand horseshit but it chilled my soul more than the current…
