Are they sure the drugs caused the abnormalities? I’m willing to say they might, but are they sure that in this particular case the abnormalities this fetus had were caused by those drugs? If they’re sending her to jail for using drugs (why not target the large drug sellers instead?) they should follow those laws. If…

I thought that picture must have been taken of her when she wasn’t prepared to have her picture taken, otherwise she’d have looked a lot better.

As far as I can tell, 99.7% of the people in the US don’t know what socialism is, 99.8% get their definition from some idiot meme on social media, and the rest are economists who are disgusted with the rest of the people and tired of trying to explain why social welfare programs like SNAP (formerly Food Stamps) are…

There’s only one rule if you’re a comedian making fun of someone or a group of people: punch up. Want to make fun of Mango Voldemort and his family of grifters? Go for it. Want to make fun of homeless people? You, sir, are distasteful and need to go spend some time with the homeless to see how often someone is one…

I know that some STDs have a smell.  I’ve had my share of shitty boyfriends who passed STDs to me.  I don’t think doctors have to write your profession down in your medical charts.  If you are a sex worker and they write that down they’re assholes.  If you are a sex worker and they know that they can run tests…

That would be “you’re” and “whoresplaining”.  I didn’t say I was poor, I said I didn’t know where a local free clinic was and that many people who are poor use the ER as their primary means of medical care.  I would never try to explain sex work to anyone; I know only what I read.  That isn’t a slam on sex work, it’s…

Oh yeah, him. My mind went too far back in history and I was stuck on ol’ Bertie - Edward VII, he who lived the high life until Victoria died, and on whom Victoria blamed Albert’s death because (if I have the story right) Albert became ill after walking in the rain with Bertie to yell at him about spending time with a…

A. Not my story, but thanks.

Sorry, not up on the extended royal family.  Who is the sleazy uncle?

Except that Hawaii is part of the U.S., so totally different from Canada, which isn’t part of the U.S.

Many people go to the ER for their medical needs. It’s a problem. It causes higher ER prices, it takes up space from people who are having emergency problems, and it usually results in lack of follow-up care. It’s usually people who have no money to go to a doctor; if they go to the emergency room of a public hospital…

Cut a piece of cardboard the size of the interface board (or whatever they call it).  Use one piece of tape to tape it over the top so that it will flip up when you need it to.  It’s an ugly fix, but it will do the job.

Any cop (hell, any human being) who can’t tell the difference between non-compliance and inability to comply because of paraplegia needs... hell, I don’t even know what they need. How can you educate someone like that? And if they were right outside his house, why didn’t they ask if they could go get his wheelchair…

I was thinking of bad sex as sex where the people involved are not in synch with what they think should be happening when and mis-read the other’s cues. Or it’s boring. Or one person is overwhelmed by what’s going on (not overwhelmed in the sense of being forced, which is always bad sex by definition) and freezes up.…

I was surprised that I enjoyed the Kim bits of the show as much as I did.  I didn’t know what to expect, having never watched KUWTK.

I realize this is only a side comment in the story, but she’s right - bad sex is better than a bad haircut.  Bad sex eventually ends, and if you’re lucky your partner can learn.  A bad haircut might last for months.

I guess I’m the only person not on the Kathryn Hahn bandwagon.  It might be the things I’ve seen her in, but she always strikes me as being just a little bit too much.

If she’s been a school board member for 20 years, and CRT has been taught in the schools for however long without her mentioning it, doesn’t that mean she supports it?

Unfortunately, the stupid don’t recognize that in themselves.

I appreciate the sarcasm (no, truly, I enjoy good sarcasm), but that wasn’t my point. My point is that the big boards - Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, fill in your own name, are all so big and so lacking in editorial oversight despite what their owners say that I’ve gotten to the point where I figure any argument more…
