That’s a big assumption based on some ugly biases. She’s wealthy enough to fly to Paris because she wants a fancy meal but no doubt you’re right, she’s probably never heard of antipyretic medicines. Those backwards Chinese people probably don’t know about aspirin, acetaminophin, ibuprofin...
Occam’s razor says it was Tylenol or another fever reducing medicine.
That is the thing about a health screening. Everyone it catches does not necessarily have the disease in question. But it’s one of those civil society things. Society depends on the innate decency of humans to tell the truth, then those honest humans suffer personal inconvenience for the greater good. Without that?…
In her case, though, she was completely asymptomatic and the whole situation was overblown and sensationalized – Ebola doesn’t spread through saliva if the person isn’t actually sick (and they have to be very sick for there to be a significant viral load). The quarantine she was initially subjected to was even…
This person is Instagram-selfish and ignorant, but the media hype about this flu is over the top.
Thank you. For a reporter to be punished by a purported news organization for accurately pointing out that he was very credibly accused of rape, is fucking insane.
If you don’t want to accommodate other people’s kids, don’t invite them. Don’t think of children as separate sub-guests. Would you be so demanding of your adult guests? I have friends who are pescatarian, vegetarian, and vegan; friends who are gluten free, dairy free, and sugar free (not for any medical reason);…
Something I appreciated about Wurtzel, and she specifically covered in “Bitch”, was she acknowledged that white, and conventionally beautiful, women get more attention and sympathy when it comes to mental illness. The other Wurtzel piece posted here a couple of weeks ago covered this, but people tend to have time for…
I shop for two there, but here are some more things worth considering in a “reasonable size”: Their big bags of Caesar Salad are good. Enough for two to have salad for lunch or dinner, or if you put it in an airtight container, you can have it a second day. The jars of spaghetti/tomato sauce also aren’t sold in…
It’s hard for me to imagine being upset by having too many rolls of paper towels. Or toilet paper, unless it’s less than stellar quality stuff. Anything perishable, though, especially stuff that takes up valuable freezer space, is a problem.
Strangling someone to death requires so much strength, both in the hands and upper arms and back, and so much persistence, and so much mentally being okay with holding the person down and watching them beg for mercy, that I can’t square it with any kind of BDSM scene that anyone could consider consensual.
I’m sorry but this defense is bullshit. If your “rough sex” is so rough you KILLED SOMEONE, you are so bad at sex that you pose a danger to all future partners and should be locked up anyway. Despite what Hollywood movies would have you believe, it is actually very difficult to kill another able-bodied adult human…
Who’s body shaming her?
Richard Ayoade please.
I was a total skeptic/hater on the Noel/Sandi/Prue replacement action but I’ve binged the series with them in the past few weeks and really came to like Noel and Sandi. I’ll miss her as she seemed very genuine. I like Prue all right but she could do with a little more warmth and a little less backslapping with Paul…
I am 55 and while I was at the perfect age to have been a Wurtzel reader - I never read her book(s). I had a friend who went to Harvard with her and his description (a very good guy) wasn’t all too flattering, but nothing outright mean either. She may have been a good writer and her book may have helped many women but…
Not to mention THINNESS. The crazy beautiful MPDG girl is always thin.
You’re right... we’ve done a little about kids and meditation but nothing that really dives into how to help them develop the practice of it. I’m going to add that to my list of topics to explore. Thank you!
Unless raising children in a conventional way is the goal, I see no point in marriage at all. I especially do not get it when very rich people marry each other. Back when I was married, living jointly was not really fully accepted. But marrying only to live apart baffles me to no end. What is the point? My ex and I…
My main take away from these comments is that it would be great if stores would sell low, mid, and high rise jeans all at the same time so everyone could find what they are comfortable in.
