“except God, who isn’t there and/or doesn’t care”

And if you do have a chronic illness, an ER is the last place you want to end up because ER docs (very reasonably) can’t deal with you. I have asthma and refuse to go to the ER when my lungs get bad because it will be a waste of time (here’s some albuterol and O2 that you already have, go see your primary soon) and…

Medicaid in NY is a hell of a lot better. At least its subsidized by the state, so you can pretty much go to any doctor you want — they sub-contract with a lot of smaller plans that work as third-party Medicaid providers. My coverage is $50 a month and it covers all my medical visits ($15 copay) and prescriptions ($6…

Some people with disabilities, especially those that manifest more physically and are more visible, seem to fear that physican-assisted suicide will lead to a ‘duty to die’ and the involuntary euthanasia. I understand that fear, but I think the current physician-assisted suicide laws are written to avoid that, as well…

I read somewhere that this is *why* she escaped this shit show.

He peaked as Andy Dwyer. I haven’t seen him in anything else and don’t plan to. And yeah, his public persona is...blech.

I really didn’t like him before. I didn’t enjoy his role in Guardians or Jurassic Park. He just seemed like a dudebro who got ripped.

Pratt seems like a Nice Guy, and it’s clear he has good intentions, but Evangelicals are The Worst. Following the doctrine* prevents you from being a genuinely good person 90% of the time.

I really don’t care. Do u?

There are very few reasons to support any large corporate food company: but Hormel now has my business.

“Drrty” is a national treasure.

It’s always remarkable when someone hasn’t watched the Thing and feels like they can comment on the Thing’s specifics. She fed the crew of many dozens who were putting the event together. You think large-scale events, even utter shitshows, get put together the night before? They were on Exuma for weeks. 

I wish more women over 40 thought like you. I have “young face” (read: not white) for which I’m told I should feel grateful because after 40, I’d become invisible. My reaction has always been: both things are bad. Being underestimated and not viewed as an authority is disrespectful. Being ignored because of your age…

In a state of confusion, she did the right thing and all she really could do and called the medic up there. Continuing singing is kind of silly, but I’m sure she was frazzled and fell into the show-must-go-on mentality.

No white woman would ever be arrested and sent to Riker’s without bail for sitting on the floor with her one-year-old. This is completely unacceptable.

Lol. Yup, it is! If it’s a verb, it’s almost always “affect”.

Your choices are:

This will have no effect on any of our lives.

Or

This will affect none of our lives.

Since this is a post about books and reading, I will go ahead and be a grammar pedant. It is “affect”.

What an egotistical jerk. I would totally not call him again after the sex.

TBH: Other than these articles on Jezebel about his troubles with the law for the last year or so, I have never heard of this person.

I am 5'10" and quite thin. I also have teeeny tiny breasts. When I was a horribly insecure teen/early adult I used to buy their insane “adds two cup sizes!” bras in hopes of pretending I had tits, but they were SO incredibly uncomfortable. All underwire and padding and straps digging in weird places. And also like…
