Your daily reminder that Will Van Spronsen was a fucking hero, and that any action taken to burn these jackboots to the ground is a justified one.  

There’s a theory upthread that it’s Brenner, too. My personal theory is that the American is just . . . an American prisoner of no descript, and that people are reading way too much into the line.

Which is also the most painful possible outcome for me, because Hopper is my #1 fictional crush. 

I noticed that it felt a little careless too, but I rationalized it as these kids having really been through the shit together, at this point. I think Mike would be able to dip further into those waters than a friend might have otherwise been able to do in the eighties. Having your friend be abducted and then…

I -think- what you’re getting at is the push for proactive patient-focused medicine as opposed to reactive treatment-focused medicine, which I’ve seen a lot of people in health software echoing. And there’s a really good point for that - if you encourage people to form close relationships with their PCP, to have a…

Texas! 

How you gonna get the amazing level of internet you'll need for this to work if you're traveling so much? 

I was just a tiny kid when Princess Diana was alive, but I still get choked up thinking about that photo of her shaking hands with an Aids patient when most people were literally afraid to touch them. What a golden person. 

I mean, a lot of people are into bears. Like, a lot a lot. Rogen is a catch, looks-wise. 

Inappropriate place to mention that Joey Batts is very, very cute and seems like a genuinely fantastic dude? 

The fact that this thread has people listing the best Jim Carrey works and nobody has mentioned Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, one of the greatest films ever made, bums me out.

I agree with you in-principle, but it should be mentioned that a LOT of doors to financial aid will close to you if you go this route. In 2008, I know I would have lost out on 10k worth of my scholarships if I’d taken a gap year. 

Woof, I really hate this. It seems rife for Heinlein-style “well, you have to EARN the right to exist and participate in society with government-approved ‘service’” that feels very, very fashy. At what point at we deciding what ‘counts’ as that service? 

Wanna husband-swap sometimes? 

Tormund and Me. 

“Have a fever of 102? Go to work anyway”

This is a dumb, shitty message that is bad not just for you, but everyone around you. Toughness is overrated in the face of consideration.  

I don’t have HSV-1 somehow, despite the dude I was in my longest relationship having it. I know that it can be kind of a transmission chain if I were to go down on a guy who had HPV who then was with a woman, but that seems like a pretty slim opportunity and I’ve never even seen dental dams in the store - I usually…

I’ve literally never used protection for oral, so I’m one of those risk-factors out there. I wish I could provide a better justification than “it tastes bad and the rubber chaps my lips up” but I eat ass, so I don’t think that’s gonna hold water. 

Can I ask a question for the people who have watched all three seasons, instead of being turned off by one episode and never coming back like I was? Is there ever a point in the show where one of the subjects is just like “I live and eat and dress like shit because I’m sad and tired all the time and what the fuck is…

I mean, I’m a millenial who makes barely above the poverty line, so I -want- to die as soon as possible because this is a miserable hellworld. And I need a Coke zero at about 1:30 pm every day to get through my shitshow of a job. So really, this is all very convenient for me. 

I want both, and the head of every billionaire on a spike, but you and I are absolutely on the same page regarding the necessity of education being cheap-to-free and easily accessible. That in-mind, we’re facing a much more serious problem with our K-12 education in this country than the higher-ed - which makes that…
