Causality runs the other way. Women have breasts as a secondary sex characteristic; men are attracted to them because of that.

Would you have believed that a German man kept his own daughter imprisoned in the basement of his house so that he could repeatedly rape and impregnate her, for over a decade?

Triumphalism is tawdry, and leaves a sour taste in people’s mouths, even ones who are sympathetic to your cause.

Oh well. She moved into a city neighborhood filled with children. That means ice-cream trucks in the summer. She can stick cotton balls in her ears in the meantime.

Depends on how old you are. The older you get, the less you’re able to hear high frequencies. She should be find in about 10 years or so. Til then, she can enjoy some delicious ice cream on a hot summer night.

Or you’d stop hearing it. I’ve lived next to train tracks and under flight paths from an airport across the harbor from my apartment. The noise drove me insane for a month and then like a miracle I stopped hearing it entirely. Like literally would not hear a train or a plane unless I had a visitor who would suddenly…

I literally had to hold my laptop up to my ear to hear the ice-cream truck jingles, that’s how quiet it is. I love the ice-cream truck jingles, it sounds like warm summer nights and delicious treats. But anyway:

I was sent home with an inhaler after I reported not being able to walk 10 feet without having to stop and catch my breath. I couldn’t walk up the stairs at work without having to sit down. Two days later my doc called me back with the D-Dimer results and told me to go to the emergency room, where they did a CT and…

Maddening. Pulmonary embolism should *always* be considered when there is sudden onset of chest pain in young women. Estrogen is a contributing factor to clotting (which is why hormonal birth control is a risk, and you keep seeing those class-action lawsuit ads for HBC damage), so women in general are a much higher…

Oh look. ANOTHER white guy talking about how the Democrats are failing to win elections without *once* mentioning the post-2010 census gerrymandering (as a result of 2010 Congressional losses due to Democratic *support* of the ACA) followed by the post-Obama-second-landslide wave of voter-suppression laws…

“Road rage”? More like PCP — sudden reaction, violent, and impervious to pain.

Oh my god. This is a *true story*. Nanjiani wrote it with his wife Emily — the lady who was put into a coma. This is about their *actual relationship*. If you want a springboard to jump off, pick a different one. Coming after actual people’s actual lives is just...shitty and mean.

That was an unexpected and very welcome update. Let’s see if justice is actually delivered, but that is a very good start.

Neither one of them are good people.

I know this because my 1948 Willys CJ-2A, the first civilian-model Jeep ever built, nearly bucked me right out of the tub during my road trip to Utah.

This picture breaks my heart. I am really sad for that woman.

No idea, its a guess on my part based on what I know about teachers’ unions and protocols around disciplinary actions up my way. It could also just be general fucked-up-ness by the Superintendent, I don’t know.

I’d guess they’re working within union requirements for due diligence and process, otherwise they could get nailed with a costly lawsuit. Its frustrating, but probably worth it in the end if they can make sure they did everything by the books and not risk her getting re-hired, or having to pay out a settlement.

She tried to bring a stroller into the cabin? Come on. Gate check that shit like everyone else does, you’re not special.

A kid in my high school killed his stepfather, and said it was after enduring years of violent abuse. The stepfather was the head of our local children’s services division so naturally not one single person believed the kid and I think he was convicted and wound up in prison.
