This one also seems really easy to break, too. You just need access to a nude beach and a lot of facebook friends.

I have admiration for anyone who can handle a job like that, even for a short while.

An RN commenting on the original article pointed out that the doctors should lose their licenses, that performing a medical procedure against the will of the patient is illegal, regardless of pressure from law enforcement.

I'm really disappointed (though not surprised) by the number of people on this site who think this kind of assault is funny.

I...really feel like I should have already known that. Oh well. Thanks for educating me.

You reminded me how working for an organization like this must be one of the shittiest jobs. You get to comfort yourself with the knowledge you're doing something ultimately good, but you must be forced to expose yourself to the most horrible images and ideas to do it.

That is really interesting to hear.

No, but if a mentally ill person confesses to a crime, the police ought to investigate their claim, see if the crime actually happened and if the person was present. There's a reason filing a false report is illegal—because it wastes police time and resources.

Kirk's always been supportive of gay rights, (though only publicly since his stroke.) He did a lot of work pretty close to the ground when I lived in the 10th district, but I haven't followed him as closely since he entered the Senate.

House Republicans obstructing something with obvious worth and value, no surprise there. But can I just take a moment to reiterate how wonderful Mark Kirk is? He's not just one of the best Republican members of the legislative branch, he's one of the best members on either side of the aisle and he gets called a RINO…

That seems a little strange to me, though. I wonder what identification you could get out of that that you couldn't get out of the photo?

Especially since I know a number of totally cis-gendered people who get mistaken for the opposite sex a LOT because of the way they look and dress, and/or their body type.

I've never…

I'm wary of jumping into this argument, but I have to say that I'll never give much credence to the "we need to make transgendered/intersex people more like cis-gendered people, because a lot of people think they are weird and might tease them."

Whether you're talking about deciding intersex genitals need cosmetic…

I think there's a bit of a difference between seeing someone on the internet make light of something and being directly threatened with it by several people. It would be more of a parallel if she'd sent a series of emails to the Boston Marathon bombing victims threatening to send bombs to their homes. Of course, if…

Of course you can do a non-gross Halloween. Some people like the gore, some don't. Martha Stewart has some really great suggestions for food, decor, costumes and party stuff that's classy, cute and spooky—not gory or too kiddie-like. http://www.marthastewart.com/276965/hallowe…

Oh God, yes, clanging. You're depriving yourself of the full benefits of lifting when you do that, too, because you have to lift at an angle or an arc to clang the weights together, rather than straight up. So basically, if you clang the weights you're announcing to the gym how bad your form is.

Is it still illegal to murder somebody if I buy them dinner first and tell them they're pretty?

You do realize most people lump 80s kids like you and me into the "millennial" pile, right?

I'm saying NSFW is more of shorthand for "this has nudity" than anything that has to do with work.

I'm pretty sure NSFW is more a turn of phrase than anything. I don't think there's anyone whose boss is gonna walk by while you're browsing on company time all "Hmm, Jenkins is reading comics again, everything seems in order WAAAAAIT A MINUTE, IS THAT A TIT?"

(Little known fact: Everyone who works in an office is named…
