It ain’t art unless you suffer for it.

What do most of us do when we see a box of assorted chocolates? We make sure we don’t pick the gross creme-filled ones. Why on earth would anyone want a creme-filled chocolate the size of Cadbury Egg? Blecch.

This is the best.  Not sorry.............Reese’s.

I’m just a bit floored that you got into vaping despite being a non-smoker. I always thought vaping was that lame thing my smoker friends had to do to pretend like they were quitting. In most cases, they even kept up with vaping after quitting quitting because it was the thing they could smoke indoors during the…

I know exactly what you mean in this comment, and I loved Pat, too, because one of my best friends (in a tiiiny, viciously conservative farm town) had the same effect on people, and with the same nonchalant-just-going-about-their-business way. I was amazed such a character existed at all.

honestly, this is just reinforcing a sentiment i saw on a previous, very similar post: vapers are indeed, largely, a bunch of chooches. 

So, Miller was obviously expecting to walk into a softball interview and did absolutely no prep.

1. How did it help you quit smoking if you have been Juuling for literal years? You have traded one bad nicotine delivery device for another - less researched - nicotine delivery device. There are cigarette abatement programs that would work much quicker than your plan.

Yup. It’s also in loads of the pregnancy advice literature. Although as I said elsewhere in the thread, I was told I should sleep on my left side, but that I wasn’t to worry if I woke on my back. Since that obviously meant I didn’t have to worry about being asleep on my back, I ignored the sleep-on-left-side-only…

it’s hard to believe anyone would mercilessly bully this extremely beautiful girl who wears her hair in a ponytail (gasp) and doesn’t wear makeup (double gasp).

I’m confused. Being over 6 foot as a girl is something that people are super self conscious about, because they are treated differently both romantically and by their peers. Even attractive women over 6'0 are often crippled with self consciousness. Many men want nothing to do with dating them, there’s a lifetime of…

I’m so conflicted on this.

God point about the mental health! I had talked to her about hiring a doula for post-partum care and/or therapy on whatever schedule she wanted (Weekly or bi-weekly, etc). She waved that idea away, but I will bring it up again. Her mom is coming for 2 weeks post-birth and I think she’s counting on that too be must…

haha I always have to correct myself when I get too specific. “No, we do not chew on Auntie’s elbow.”

“ I’m not seeing Hanks disappear into the role so much as Hanks playing it.” Yes. I still gently sobbed at my desk, though. 

I feel like I need to call you out for saying you couldn’t think of any Jamaican track athletes. Usain Bolt, man! THE track athlete.

Look, Deadspin isn’t going to hire you.

So why are they not setting a maximum testosterone level for men as well, as testerone can (or in your version does) confer a slight edge to male athletes? If testosterone confers an unfair edge, shouldn’t it be limited for both genders to make sure both playing fields are level? Why is it only females that are…

The issue is that the “adverse effects” parents self-report on the internet sometimes include autism or sensory-processing disorder. They just won’t tell you that. They’ll tell you their child has a “vaccine injury.” And a child having an adverse effect to one vaccine does not get them a pass from all vaccines without…

well yeah I can imagine someone saying “my kid had this issue after getting a vaccine” and the doctor rolling their eyes and being condescending.  Rather than approach it as, yes the vaccine is safe, but something happened and let’s explore that, they just go with “you’re hysterical, vaccines are safe” and they just…
