Sometimes I look, sometimes I don’t. I think that the vast majority of any pain people experience from the flu shot is because they worked themselves up to it in their heads. The needles have gotten so small at this point that the only thing you really feel is the pressure from the plunger being depressed.

This one just works with good old gravity. No need for fancy moving parts.

I pay $1,000 per month on a mortgage payment for my 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house near campus and downtown. Here’s a protip: stop thinking that New York is the only place to live.

Great article.

Reminds me of a Communications class I took a few years back. I was significantly older than the 20-year-olds in the rest of the class and had a lot more world experience to draw on, but I was pretty shocked when the professor asked if men and women can just be friends with no sex involved and I was the only one that…

This is a fairly old concept:

Came here to say this; that pseudo-mustache is the stuff of nightmares.

Oprah Winfrey is a terrible human being that it responsible for injecting a tremendous amount of credulous and magical thinking into American culture, not to mention inflicting horrors like Dr. Oz or ‘Dr.’ Phil on us, as well as plenty of others.

You seem pretty confused. I am a big supporter of Universal Healthcare; you seem to have interpreted me as something other. I am merely pointing out the tactics that opponents, such as Fox News, will likely employ so that countering them can be considers. I would recommend toning down the hostility.

They wouldn’t address that end of the facts; they would merely focus on the costs to the government end, relying on the half-truth to imply failure in the program.

It isn’t about whether or not it is more or less appealing; the  point simply was that opponents to it will probably try to exploit that fine distinction in less than honest attempts to discredit it.

To be fair, Medicare for All will save Americans trillions of dollars, not the government. It is an important point because if you just looked at the books for a Medicare for All program after 10 years, it would look like it told a different story.

Nope. The reasons that Rome fell are very complex and it was a process that occurred over hundreds of years. Depending on which historian you talk to, Rome didn’t fall until the Early Modern Period; people in the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) certainly considered themselves Roman, not matter that the spoke Greek. I…

I suspect that this experience has to do with, as others have mentioned, the way dating sites structure themselves in order to be profitable. Women, it seems, are used by the sites as a commodity that they can market to men, and specifically the type of man that would view dating and sex as transactional because they…

I would point out that it isn’t that things cost nothing outside of NYC, it is that NYC has wildly-distorted inflation. The broker fee system here is a symptom of such out-sized inflation.

No they are deployed by the DOTs and other transportation officials to gather necessary data for road maintenance and planning. Coordination like you are implying between the police and transportation doesn’t really occur. As for ‘speed traps’, here’s a radical idea: don’t be a massive asshole and obey the speed limit?

People seem to be missing the whole point of the Stormy Daniels suit; no one cares that Trump slept with a porn star. However, people certainly care that the $130,000 counts as an illegal campaign contribution and that the LLC was formed for an illegal purpose, i.e. the illegal campaign contribution and covering up…
