You ain’t never lie!

At least you were a regular commenter on VSB with the same name here. My disqus name is different than my Kinja name, and I was only an occasional commenter on VSB, so there’s no hope for me over here.

I was going to riot if Back that Azz Up wasn’t #1!! I was born and raised in the South. Whenever the first chords for this song came on, everyone got up, mid conversation and made their way to the dance floor. Now that I’m older and live in CA, I don’t see the same rush to get to the dance floor. I don’t know if it’s

As an old, what is the #maskoffchallenge?

No, we can’t agree on that. I found it delightful.

I get annoyed at pretty much any commonly incorrectly used or spelled grammatical errors, but I’d disagree with “they literally sound like the word you are trying to use.” With ‘loose,’ there are other English words that sound similar like moose and noose, but not so much with ‘lose.’ I’m very likely missing some

This is infuriating. Especially because the foster care system is hard on children. It’s hard on children who actually should be in it because they legitimately come from a dangerous household, and it’s a whole other level of hard on children who shouldn’t have been removed in the first place. No one wins in the

No, attorneys general is correct. They are attorneys (noun). The “general” is a descriptor and adjectives don’t become plural. Same with sisters-in-law (not sister-in-laws).

Yes, they’re the same procedure. The whole time I was reading the article, I was wondering if they’ll be trained in non-elective D&C’s (which, again, is the same procedure as an elective D&C). If they’re not, then that’s just beyond stupid.

Are you equally annoyed when people complain that they have a “cold” because the hundreds of different strains cause the common cold?

I think you misinterpreted her. Imagine she started that sentence with “Most people think...” and you’ll get the concept she was trying to put forth.

I was searching for this comment. I didn’t want to post it because I’m stuck in the greys, but I was hoping someone else would point out that glaringly wrong description.

After public records request, the video was released by the Orlando Police Department...

That’s exactly the point.

Clapping back originally comes from when people would clap their hands together as they were making a point, one clap per word (like the gif below), not like an applause. It then morphed into generally meaning an aggressive response to something that shuts someone down.

Right. I had an immediate reaction to that comment. My niece (now a year and some) was born at 23 wks and spent her first 6 months of life in the NICU. To the extent that can be tested so far, she’s good on all fronts. Sure, she may have some vision or hearing issues that may crop up down the line, but she’s

I just hope to never be in a situation like this. Nothing seems like a right answer.

I focus on drug abuse, specifically cocaine. More broadly, I was generally interested on mental health.

What’s worse about my friend’s situation, is she and I are both PhD neuroscientists. She can tell you six ways from Sunday about how Xanax wasn’t the right way to go (just clearly not in that moment). I typically don’t throw out my PhD card, but I do in the doctor’s office because I notice an immediate shift in the
