Well, since there's no way to detect Autism in the fetus (because its not genetic) don't worry so much. Also, I expect many people would, if they could, terminate babies with the wrong hair or eye color, if they were able, so I wouldn't take it personally. Honestly, if it was detectable (say, babies with some genetic…

Hah! You must be from Texas (or similar)

Cops in the UK don't carry guns, and somehow they are not all dead.

More often than you think, clearly. Landscapers work for people, and with people, and they are using dangerous equipment in a fairly high stress (physical) environment. Imagine if every day you went to work you had to worry about a tree crushing you or your coworker accidentally dumping a load of brick on your head.

That's super not true. People who consider diseases that cannot be detected in a fetal genetic test a genetic disorder are wrong. Genetic disorders are things that kill eight year old's because their hearts are too large, or children who never develop at all but linger for years, or people who die at 13 because their s…

Only sometimes. Abortion due to genetic disorders is done, and honestly, it should be done.

Witches have been standing the test of time for a while now. ;-)

I lost faith with Rotten Tomatoes a long time ago, when I noticed that Fright Night (aka Prince Humperdinck the Pedophile Vampire) got a near perfect score and Lost Boys didn't.

I watched quite a lot of witch movies when I was a teenager, and I rewatch them all every couple of years. Hocus Pocus (which is the best Halloween movie. The. Best.) The Craft, Practical Magic, Witches of Eastwick, Halloween Town (It counts! Its good! I'll fight you!)...

This is such an exciting season. Its gunna pass the books in some places, and I cannot wait. Finally, I can guess what will happen without being yelled at about spoilers!

You can't trick me! No Dalek would ask to buy apples! They would say "You will tell us where we can obtain these apples. Tell Us!"

What color was T. Rex

One thing, applied liberally:

How utterly horrifying. I had no idea. 😔

This book ended up on my list out of desperation (it was the only scifi audiobook I could download from my library that day) and ended up making me feel better about a ton of stuff going poorly in my life (grandparents dying, getting shit on by the legal system, ect.)

Huh. That’s sounds more like a problem with how guys are treated. I really do generally agree that being nicer is smarter, to a point, obviously. But wow. I... feel like much less of an ass now.

How. Just how can cranberries be so low? I live in cranberry land (eastern MA) and they are grown underwater! How do these other plants use so much water!

I knew it was sexist when I shared it with a mixed gender group of colleagues and before I could even share my suspicions, all unanimously agreed that a male student would never have received the same criticism.

In nearly all social animals, clans are built around females.
