It’s a little like death, though, isn’t it? My grandfather passed recently, and my mother (who has been his primary caretaker for the last decade - and it was a huge drain on emotional resources for the last two) was sad until the funeral, but has rebounded and is enjoying her life anew.

His son, who rarely visited and…

My guess is he doesn’t have a frontal lobe.  

You know how the Mayans would use planks to deform their heads? He is their platonic ideal. 

The procedure that would be followed would differ by provider and hospital. There’s a case in the documentary ‘After Tiller’ that exemplifies this - a french woman with a healthy 35 wk pregnancy requests an abortion and the provider refuses to do it because it’s not safe. There is a ‘point of no return’ of sorts, but…

“However, one of the things that I struggle to explain to even my more liberal friends is the procedure that would be followed if a woman with a viable fetus were to seek an abortion for non-medical reasons (“just because”).”

I had an abortion at 15 weeks to remove my already dead fetus. Although it was simple and quick the process, quite frankly, sucked. It hurt, I felt sick and sore for a couple of days afterwards.

I can bet with 98% certainty that Kate Beckinsale has never had chitlins in her life.

As a white man I’d look at that situation and say, “Hey I took two years of Spanish in High School, a semester in undergrad and I spent a week in Cabo one time. Might as well give it the old college tratar.”

NO, RBG.  Stay inside!  Think Netflix.  Think Postmates.  For the love of Jeebus, you have to survive until at least the next Democratic president.  

I can’t fucking make heads or tales of this comment. I’ve stared at it for like five minutes, and still no idea. Bravo! I’m not easily stumped.

Not really-he was talking about it with the clear distinction that he not only no longer thinks that way, but he was disgusted with himself for having those thoughts at all. 

Too soon?

I hate that the women in his life seem to be held more publicly accountable for his actions than he is. We either have articles asking women to answer for his crimes, or articles asking when CK and men like him are allowed to return to their “rightful” place in the spotlight. Why do women have to answer for the…

Liam, I will tell you what I tell my 3 year-old...

OK, see, I was gonna say, you know how people get kinda yellow if they are alcoholics forever?  Rosacea + Jaundice = Orange.  It’s color theory.

Nah, admitting these kind of impulses is important rather than pretending they don’t exist.

That’s exactly my point. Call it what you want, it seems like the truth is that there is a chance you could end up with serious, permanent problems from using these drugs. The chance is small, according to people who I personally think have a reason to downplay the chances, but they all agree that it’s a real thing.…

A family friend of ours from overseas had put on a few pounds, and was keen to slim down before his family came to visit. He tried a diet that I believe may have been fashionable at the time, and when his family visited he was both more svelte and distinctly orange. Moral of the story: don't eat too many carrots.

Well, eating enough of certain foods can mess with your skin pigment.
