:( Nothing to say other than I hope for a fast recovery for her. The world could use much more of her.

Hasn’t the prevailing theory been that its the overprescribing that’s got people hooked, and then, when they can longer access the non-illicit opioids, they move on to heroin, fentanyl, and the like?

Yes, cracking down on prescription opioid abuse has driven abusers towards cheaper, safer alternatives like black tar heroin.

I hear you. My ex used to work in production on a TV crime show, and the amount of time and money spent lighting bodies on autopsy tables so you could see in brilliant gory detail that their kidneys had been hacked out and their eyes gouged and their legs broken but their nipples and privates were 100% washed out of…

I find it hard to believe, as this article posits, that Janet’s career was somehow ruined by this event. I mean, her career was clearly on the decline before this happened. And I thought the only people that gave a shit was the FCC and a few old people.

Although she tried to avoid the limelight, we managed to obtain this photo:

WWE fans are now standing up against racism? I don’t know what to believe in anymore.

The “women aren’t physically being able to beat men, so they shouldn’t earn as much money” is confusing to me. Gender is the only time this distinction gets played (as it does in a comment to you).

There was a guy (where I used to work) who walked around with a folded up sport section from the newspaper under his arm on his way to the men’s room to poop. Same time, same path, every single day. And everyone knew exactly what was going on. “Oh, is it David’s poop time already?”

There’s a guy who works on my floor. Different office entirely. I know his poop schedule it’s that precise. I think that’s weird

To be fair....sometimes you need the industrial strength toilet. I’m not passing bricks, but my toilet at home is wimpy and will clog if you look at it wrong. The toilets at work were built to handle anything.

No, thank you. It’s often difficult to have a conversation like this without it ending poorly and negatively for all people involved. Thank you for considering my viewpoint and bringing things to my attention that I had not considered before.

You and a couple other people have brought up valid points that make me question my way of thinking and I will have to consider this. And yes we should try to find a way to fund education AND medical care for service members, but with the way our government works, in order to spend more in one area, they take from…

You can’t fuck a cactus, that’s why.

I already immensely regret drafting Brady for my fantasy team. Not so much because of his performance (as underwhelming as it has been), but because I can’t really watch the Pats play while hoping that a piano falls on him like I usually do. The experience is ruined.

Yes, I really don’t see this being an issue in certain areas of the country. I’m from Northern Ohio. And in 1st and 2nd grade, I had these old school Catholic teachers who incessantly tried to correct us from calling our classmates “you guys.” I didn’t have the vocabulary or thought process to put it all together back…

Yeah, it’s a regionalism, and both fair to use and fair to ask someone not to use. Small things add up.

Tongue was indeed planted firmly in cheek there. :-)

I think you can get away with it if you’re a Marine Corps drill sargeant.

There’s no reason you can’t. Over the years I’ve called my teammates boys, girls, dogs, hogs, pigs, etc.
