The use of dictators like Noriega is actually one of the more interesting things about the Black Ops franchise, in particular the second installment, given that it shows real life examples of how clandestine US operations can blow back on us decades later. Not that they don't gloss over it pretty quickly, but it's one…

But Mario and Kyle did it! And they are 2getha 4eva.

I do get the sense that people can be infectious without being visibly symptomatic. I think the initial symptoms are just fatigue. It's usually a while before you start coughing up blood. That said, you can test positive simply for being exposed. My mother had a family member who had TB (in the 1950s), and she always…

I need to get out more.

I thought I'd already seen every episode of House. It's as good as going to med school.

Well, if it was on House, then—then!

Lots of women on here saying that it happens to them. I wonder if women do it, too. I think I'd feel better about it somehow if women could also suffer from the condition.

She might have been half asleep herself and not really been able to figure out what was happening until it was too late.

I had to keep reminding myself as I was reading this: "She lived to write this." I swear, I thought you were going to die halfway through.

I used to be such an NFL fan. Then I got rid of cable and can't watch it anywhere, and it's not on the radio. I feel like I got my life back.

I can probably only name three NFL players.

While I agree, I also don't feel that she is emblematic of a sports league that commonly deals only with player misconduct when it becomes public knowledge. There doesn't seem to be any indication that domestic violence is the same kind of problem it is for families or players in the NFL.

"Anachronism: The Game"

There are big parts of California that can get pretty Florida. Trust me. I've been to Fresno.

"I unfriend you."

That's a good idea. I gather the rapist would complain mightily, though, and spin it back on the school as an infringement on their right to an equal education. I'm actually pretty sure I've read stories on this site that detail just that kind of thing happening, though I have no actual evidence for it.

No one should listen to that moron. She's a sock puppet for some right wing rape-cult.

I never quite understood this either, but what I'm starting to understand is that even if you go to the cops, they don't have the authority (at least until they decide they want to make an arrest) to remove the rapist from campus. So for someone who's been assaulted, the other thing they need to do is report the…

I, too, would like to monetize my children.

For the dog's sake, I hope it came in a color that coordinates with her ugly clothes, so that maybe it'll live for a few months before its mummified remains are discovered in a discarded Birkin.
