Yeah, a lot of people don’t understand that while a TSH of 3 is considered “normal” for someone who has a family history (all the women in my family are hypothyroid/Hashimoto’s then went on to have thyroid cancer! We are a weird medical anomaly, apparently) it really needs to be around 1 for them to feel normal. Glad…

Good! This is a step in the right direction. I’m glad to see common sense prevailed in this case. If only they hadn’t had the law at all, but oh well. I’ll take what I can get.

First off, NASA policy is to used crewed/uncrewed rather than manned/unmanned. So that right there speaks to your unfamiliarity with NASA.

So I do want to point out that it is possible for severely depressed people to experience psychosis, and that it is definitely possible for her to think that she was helping him if she had a psychotic break (see Andrea Yates, for example) and still know that everyone else would think it was wrong. I’m not saying…

This woman sounds awesome and I would love to hear her life story. Fled from Nazi Belgium *and* an accomplished attorney who doesn’t put up with anyone’s shit? Can she be my grandmother?

*hugs* I struggle with that too. Hang in there, you’ll get through this. Go treat yourself to a massage, maybe? I find that helps me get out of destructive patterns of thinking sometimes. And I know I don’t know you, but I’m confident that even if you haven’t achieved everything you wanted to, you’ve still done a lot…

So I’m currently in the middle of a discussion on a forum I frequent about men thinking it’s all too common for men who are accused of rape to be presumed “guilty until proven innocent” and have their lives ruined, and all I’m thinking is that for women, you can be murdered and it’s still your fault. You can be raped…

This legitimately terrifies me as someone who eventually wants a tenure job in a STEM field but will also probably will have a kid one day. My grad advisor has already been getting on me for spending too much time wedding planning instead of working on my dissertation.

I’m assuming this includes trans-vaginal ultrasounds?

Love this.

Basically, what you’re suggesting is that the onus of gender equality in business is on women, because they aren’t instinctually drawn to make money because it doesn’t make them more attractive to men. First off, the assumption that women do things to be more attractive to men is sexist. But the real issue is, and…

Well, that’s not what you said, but ok.

I’m really not sure how to feel about my first reaction being “Hmm... I should do that with my hair.”

It may be I misunderstood your comment. If so, I apologize. It’s just frustrating to read reason after reason why women don’t do well in business, and yours came off as “well it’s really women’s fault for not pushing past social conditioning”, which is a pet peeve of mine.

Forever later I’m necroreplying...

Specifically, just this comment.

Color me unsurprised at all. I also wouldn’t be surprised if the majority of the women who do get investments only get investments from the female Sharks.

The fuck was the point of this? She’s photoshopping her face onto the originals? How selfish and hypocritical. The originals are stunning.

Meee! Ungrey me! I’m occasionally funny/sarcastic.

Medication is often quite literally a life saver. It was for me. Don’t tell people not to use it; there’s a reason it exists.
