That makes sense. So his lawyers are just grasping at straws for sympathy cause they know he’s going to get convicted?

How were they able to end up with such a racially homogenous jury in the first place? I thought jury selection involved lawyers on both sides selecting candidates. I know this is a thing that happens a lot (unfair “peer” selection for the defendant), but I don’t quite get how. Is it just that there isn’t a lot of…

Pro tip: a uterine cancer scare is the #1 route to a life free from menstruation. My insurance company even paid for it, and the best part is that those tumors were benign!

“omg that was so dumb kill me”

Yeah I don’t think it’s really fair to be too hard on yourself about whether or not a fear of heights is rational. I’ve given this some thought and ultimately, I think it actually is pretty rational to be afraid of heights. It’s just not rational in the way dismissive people want you to be.

LITERAL NIGHTMARE. Those things are fucking terrifying.

As with all statements preceded by “newsflash,” yours is not entirely correct. According to the latest Dirt Census, dirt population age distribution includes a substantial portion of millennials.

That’s awesome. Science is rad.

I’m glad you’ve found treatment that works! Thanks for cluing me in. I always want to know more about stuff like this, but sometimes it’s hard to research every minute detail of all the gaps in my knowledge.

That’s useful info, thanks!

I’m sorry I didn’t clearly articulate the fact that your comment makes you sound like you’re older than dirt with 1980s hack standup comedic sensibility. That was wrong of me.

Cool, cool. That’s cool. Very modern comment.

I’m actually kind of fine for price gouging for drugs used in cosmetic procedures if it means that other drug prices can stay low. I get that some plastic surgery is much needed, but what percentage of people getting Botox are getting it for any reason other than a beauty treatment?

Yeah I am really uncomfortable with the angle here. Some people deliver pizzas. That doesn’t mean they’re untrustworthy.

Don’t tell me what I long for, Will Smith’s fictional character.

Shade colder than non-bae ice cream

Yeah I have started saying “neurological disorder” - it’s not specific, but it’s also not a lie, at least not as far as the average person is concerned. I wouldn’t say that to a doctor, but doctors (generally) aren’t super judgmental about mental illness... so long as it doesn’t result in dramatic weight gain. Once…

Oooh that’s bullshit. But what good is a woman at all if she’s, like, being a bummer and shit.

I’m just speaking for myself here, but I don’t think that the word “illness” is what the problem is. It’s “mental” - again, as if that just means it’s “all in my head” (which it literally is, but that doesn’t make it fake). In my experience, comparing “mental illness” with “illness” (i.e., depression vs. diabetes),…

I understand why you deleted, but I’m sorry you had to. Mental illness is so stigmatized in the workplace in the US, it’s truly horrible (I’m sure it is elsewhere too, but I can’t speak to that). I have had to keep so much secret because I’m afraid that instead of getting support I’ll have people trying to give me…
