Privileged white boys will be the doom of humanity.

You know that covers and samples are not the same thing, right?

TThat’s a little harsh.

Off topic:

Alex Honnold had an interesting situation on his Instagram where he let one of his friends, a Black climber, take over his platform so that he could promote his initiative to get more urban, low income BIPOC individuals involved in climbing. He discussed how getting into it can be expensive and inaccessible for many…

For anyone who has the privilege to still work 100% from home, you absolutely are in total control of not getting the virus until immunization. It’s always been my plan to do that and then lord it over everyone in 2028 when we discover all the bizarre long term organ problems...

So, I grew up in Vernon, literally in the condos that abutted Action Park, later Mountain Creek.

I think it is an influencer’s responsibility to vet the things they promote, at least to some degree. What sets them apart from traditional marketing is mostly the veneer of authenticity that an influencer’s endorsement projects. That illusion of intimacy with their audience also means they’ll get more blowback from…

“and ineffective, as none of us actually looked or felt any better.”

Consider, however, that I am cis-female and have been almost six feet tall, with shoulders broader than most males I meet and long limbs, since I was 13 years old. These kinds of physiological differences occur within people of the same sex anyway, and don’t necessarily only act as advantages (eg. larger bodies are…

My grandpa was a doctor, flu shots became a Thanksgiving tradition. Literally instead of going around the table and saying what we were thankful for, he went around the table and gave everyone their flu shot. Incidentally, that was something I was very thankful for.

Creepy semi-name-droppy comment coming, but.... I went to school with one of the stars mentioned in this article and I am SO FORKING HAPPY to see them flourishing and finding success. Watching someone be authentically themselves back in the day even when the world wasn’t ready, and then to look up and they’re on TV…

Yeah I think they’re likely dead if the stems are mushy - when they froze the water inside each cell expanded and broke the cell walls (like when you freeze veggies and then thaw them again). But, the roots might not be all dead, since soil is insulating if it's dry enough, so you can try bringing them inside, cutting…

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, and I’ll keep saying it as long as it takes to sink in: however fun the Marvel movies are, in the real world there is one and only one superpower.

How fun for those women you dated! No, you wouldn’t have any bias about this at all.

It astounds me I’m trapped for life for wanting to get an education.  If I had started a failed Retro Beeper business, I could just walk away.  I’d honestly renounce me degrees if I could get my loans discharged.  I could find my way just fine in the world without this anchor slowly drowning me.  I haven’t done the…

I don’t know if it’s a question of “belief.” While I’m fairly educated on the chemistry of it all, and I’ve also made a few choices with regard to flavoring compounds that I see as significantly reducing the risk of the “unknown,” I will happily accept that it’s better for the lungs to not vape than to vape.

I think you must have misread. I was offering a similarly bullshit anecdote “proving” the antecedent just to show how wildly silly the entire premise of “I know somebody who got sick” is.

Juul is the most popular and so the most vilified, and what’s really infuriating, it is also the one that is likely the least likely to cause the sicknesses, it doesn’t have any of the contaminants involved, and even a story in the WSJ today about Juul’s CEO stepping down says at the end “Juul is not linked to any…

...she was literally looking at a lamp.
