Oh man, I could write my own article on this. The Houston Chronicle’s list is good but add:

At my house, it’s booze, in direct proportion to hurricane strength.

In related news, now that I know how easy it is - I always have a jar of ganache in the fridge. This is, however, dangerous for your diet.

I hear the Berkeley Pit is beautiful this time of year

Preferably a lake full of acid mine drainage from the coal mines he loves so much.

Pence hasn’t made a choice that was entirely his own in his life. He can go jump in a lake.

That’s the thing about guidelines Pence...you can choose to ignore them and eat a 16oz Ribeye for every meal if your wallet allows it. They aren’t law or rules. I eat meat at several times a week, sometimes 2-3 times a day if I’m snacking on some landjaeger or homemade jerky. I choose my diet Pence, not the federal…

If there are Covid restrictions on having an audience there won’t be a debate because he can’t be alone with a woman because of urges. He might have to bring Mother along.

Moral of the story is that “un-American” means “thinking things should be any different than how the Boomers incorrectly remember the 1950s to be.” 

Just mechanically speaking, eating food with COVID-19 viral particles in it will probably just result in the viral particles being dissolved in stomach acid if the particles weren’t already killed during cooking. The concern would be particles that incidentally got into your respiratory system - say by putting your…

Until my girlfriend changed medications, for a long time her periods were cramps so bad she’d pass out coupled with days of genuine migraines. My sister used to complain about her periods but nothing at that level. “Every woman’s experience is different” is what I ended up taking away from seeing that.

Merkin beer coozie... it the best damn thing i have heard in weeks.

> When men have these problems, they can also have some time off from work.

But I think you’re missing my point, that by making this an issue of differentiated biology you’ll be fighting off the same assholes who said, “When women don’t have these problems they can fly planes, drive cars, join the military” etc. That…

At the absolute minimum I like this idea of making periods a thing that aren’t hush-hush. Half the fucking population (give or take some) has this. It’s not weird. Sure, it’s kinda viscerally gross to some people to bleed out your crotch, myself (who had periods most of her life) included, but like...that doesn’t mean…

I would love for this sort of thing to catch on. Personally I get terrible weather-triggered headaches that are just unbearable at that time of the month. My periods are already wacky and combine that with weather... it’s totally unpredictable and I just end up working while feeling like dogshit. My coworkers…

I used to have to take days out of school because my cramps would be so bad I would vomit. Luckily, the military put me on birth control after the time they took me to medical in an emergency vehicle. Now I have three periods a year and I can leave the house even on day one! But the Pill doesn’t work like that for…

My girlfriend and I talk about the concept of period leave frequently.

I’ve definitely had female coworkers who “functionally” used it; i.e. they would get a migraine and need to leave work a day or two every month. I don’t know if their period symptoms included migraines or if that was their “in-office” cover to…

My friend’s sister was absolutely down for the count for two days out of every period. I don’t know how/what medication she used to get better, but her period was absolutely debilitating. My understanding is that it’s still bad, but she can at least make it to work now. 

I’ve had to take sick leave for my period pain. I hope other companies add specific sick days for periods.

I get cramps, backaches, headaches plus it can sometimes make my autoimmune worse. It’s not bad enough where I need a day off and I can work (I have a desk job), but it would still be nice.

Now, with work-from-home, I’m happy I can wear sweats or pj pants during those days. Sometimes, real pants are just too hard when…
