I worked at a theater while Passion of the Christ was out. It brought it some pretty interesting people. One customer straight up told me that I was going to hell while buying tickets. I also had a blind customer get tickets for the movie. Normally I wouldn’t think that was weird, but the entire movie is in Aramaic…

Well the answer to every problem brought up here is: living wage for all workers. But since we can’t have nice things, the guy should be tipping based on the amount of time he spends there compared to the average guest and the amount of work the server does. One of the big issues with staying at an AYCE table for 2-3…

The “I’m actually a really good customer” comeback makes my blood boil. a) You aren't; you're being a jackass and b) anyone who legitimately has any of the good qualities doesn't go around broadcasting them. Ugh!

I was assaulted by a movie goer who felt she shouldn’t have to wait in line behind the 300 people who arrived before her, so she trampled me to get into a theater that wasn’t prepped yet. Thankfully, she also obstinately plopped her ass into the seat of her choice and refused to move. That made it easy for us to get…

Plus, lady tears should be saved for science labs alone, in between falling in love with your labmates. DUH.

I have an image of a montage set to the sound of “You’re My Best Friend” with a guy reminiscing about his favorite times with his dick now.

I forgot about that! It’s so much more complex than “insert money, receive approved drug”.

I, too, work in pharmaceutical R&D. One of the hurdles not mentioned is that it has to be a better drug than one already on the market. If Wellbutrin would be approved for female sexual dysfunction, I think this one would have some stiff (heh heh) competition. It increases circulation dopamine and has been shown to…

It’s really fascinating how these side effects get reported, and the bias included in reporting data—which is probably why I tend to get defensive on behalf of the FDA on these posts.

I’ve mentioned before that I spent several years as a medical and pharmaceutical writer working in the approval process, and honestly, these side effects sound no more insane or risky than that of any other medication. Low blood pressure? It only takes one reported “adverse event” that may or may not be related to the…

Also it just sounds like an antidepressant.

anyone else think the name “flibanserin” sounds like a Don Martin sound effect?

I don’t want to make assumptions about what it is like to have a mastectomy. But I am imagining that if I had to have a mastectomy, even if I’ve come to terms with it and learned to accept my drastically changed body, seeing a bunch of attractive young women with their perfect breasts holding a coke can in my honor…

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS. If you want to show off your tits, go forth and show off your tits. But PLEASE stop making it seem like you’re doing charity work. What you’re actually doing is sexualizing a deadly disease. You taking a topless selfie does fuck all to advance the treatment that saved my mom’s life and will…

i think that question in itself is a dead end and a huge distraction from abortion rights, subsidized daycare, racism in criminal justice and maternity leave

You do understand the difference between using a urinal (or stall) in a restroom and being out in the general public, no?
