Is that you, Progressive Liberal?

I will never understand why people shit on Tebow or anyone at the Class A level. Unless you are under 22 or rehabbing an injury and you are still playing Class A ball at this point of the season, you aren’t very good at baseball (comparatively speaking). This is like watching people play basketball in the park on a…

This may be true for YOU and YOUR political views, but there are plenty of people out there who aren’t on the fringes of politics and prefer a more centrist, moderate approach. There is nothing wrong with wanting, say, pro-choice rights for women, marriage equality, AND lower taxes and smaller government.

There is definitely a ptsd component to it - I started googling some statistics while I was writing these posts and I had to stop because it was bringing back all kinds of unpleasant feelings.

Thanks! I have to say, I’m glad my husband and I were able to agree to deliberately stop after a certain number of failed attempts rather than keep dragging it out. Our hearts weren’t really in it any more and I just wanted my life back. And, while I’m not a data scientist, statistics and how they can be…

all clinics will just take anyone and put them through ivf because theyre hoping to make as much money as possible

One average for women under 35, 60% will find success within three cycles of ivf. I unfortunately took three cycles for one baby, but by no means would I call this a minority of women. I think what should be clearer is that ivf is not a magic bullet to cure all fertility problems.

Yes, but I think it’s disingenuous to tie success rate to embryo quality, which relates to your first point about screening. A 40-year-old woman with 6 genetically normal embryos is going to have a lower chance of success because of her age than a 35-year-old woman with the same. And women’s bodies are much more…

I’m having a Mitch Hedberg moment here and thinking the “low-top” shoe should just be called a shoe.

To be fair, “Snoop Dogg, herb” is pretty much every photo of the man I’ve ever seen.

Why would any company send out a memo to its staff setting rules for their sex life outside of work?

LeBron has no one to blame except himself. He’s a terrible coach and GM.

Agreed, with the disclaimer that I’m not perfect. I’ve yelled at refs (but I’ve never complained to a coach about playing time - in fairness, never felt the need because my kids were four year starters #humblebrag). High school sports aren’t about winning and losing and biology — it’s about teamwork, friendship,…

Guess you and I are in the minority.   Welcome aboard.

I hear the argument, and I can see it. But here’s the thing — biological differences are a part of life, too. Someone may be taller, stronger, faster, or more coordinated because they were born with that gift. We don’t regulate that. And again, people dealing with transgender issues have enough problems; they don’t…

Meh. I don’t like the idea of rules that allows someone to decide if a competitor was born “girl enough.” I have a hard time believing that the thrill of victory is enough to overcome the rest of the crap people in this situation have to deal with. So let ‘em compete.

That’s an extremely cool dad.

It’s almost as if THAT was the point of my joke.

It shouldn’t be too difficult, there aren’t any letters to learn with unwritten rules.

Thank you! There’s so much back and forth about the pelvic on this one, but I think the real takeaway is that saying shit like that to a patient, cis/trans, male/female, regardless, is completely inappropriate unless it is germaine to the issue at hand. I don’t quite understand why the pelvic was done in the first…
