My intention was never to be a jerk. I just wanted to point out that the difference between harm and harmless isn't as clear to all as it is to him/her. There is a tremendous spectrum between harmless cough/chills and gunshots/bad injuries. Also, 24 urgent care centers are not accessible to a lot of people (showing…

I like to believe I have that ability to rationalize right decisions too, that is until I am faced with a risky situation and unsure of the right, reasonable action (compounded by stress and fear). For parents, who are completely responsible for their youngens, it seems perfectly rational to always err on the safe…

Right? Scared parents are so dumb.

Just a little more fringe on the sides and it would be perfect.

Someone gave Obama a chelsea

Thank you, I'm relieved the comments have mirrored my thoughts as I read this article. A science writer knowledgeable of framing and risk communication would go a long way jez.

I use the Nature Made SLEEP pills. They work for me but I need two to not wake up, and there is a bit of grogginess in the morning. I used to just take melatonin but it wasn't enough. Hope you rest well tonight.

Dude. Thank you! You made my day with that post. I did, I had a feminist rant moment about the hypocrisy. Punks and hypocrisy don't mix well (as it sounds like you know ;). You rule, keep being awesome dear virus.

Best name vote too!

Well said, it's competely hierarchal. And what is the hope, that us greys will keep trying, and work hard, and never give up, even when our thoughts and commentary are dubbed less important/intelligent/funny/insightful/snarky? Cause that's not really what happens in hierarchies when a community is marginalized. That…

Holy crap, you just made my day with this comment.

It's frustrating, right? Cause I am in the grey, and yet I tend to overlook comments in the grey. I doubt every reader reads every comment and would wager that many only read the highlighted ones. So how is one to receive recommendations when there is a possible decreased likelihood of the comment ever being read?…

Yes! Thank you.

Yay Emma! Folks who take on and take good care of special needs pups are the best.

Confirmation of one's reading comprehension is important prior to jerky attacks.

If subpar macaroons are the problem, Lindsay should go to the Caron Foundation. Their food is bangin.

But won't the feds (or whoever) now be on the lookout for anyone traveling with Nutella? Especially in mass quantities. And it wouldn't be worth it to pay for airfare for just a few jars at a time. I'm so confused as to the motive, gonna be thinking about it all day.

"WHAT EVEN IS THAT?"
