and if you're 13 and in a situation without easy transportation, what's more likely — pretending youre sick and getting a parent to take you to a doctor where you can discuss sexual health or getting to a pharmacy where you have no privacy.

My point really was more that having plan B used as a prescription would encourage kids to see a doctor to discuss safer sex practices and maybe get rx'ed a regular birth control plan rather than being handed something that can have adverse effects over the counter. i'm not at all against plan b or abortion but to say…

she said can I have plan B. woman handed it to her. she paid. we left. no pharmacist in sight. but small nyc pharmacies can be sketch as fuck.

a scared young girl is going to ask for counsel from a pharmacist? from my experience. i've been with someone buying plan B and the person working at the counter who wasn't a pharmacist just handed it to her... there was no counsel

try being a gay dude then get back to me about potential partners being completely unrealistic assholes about the physical attractiveness of their partner's bodies

I think my generation (having just graduated) may actually be one of the first to achieve something close to parity in pay among genders. The number of girls (I guess now young women... ) who have jobs in finance, medicine or other such things is actually as many as guys. And that's just high paying fields when it…

Uh should kids under the age of 15 be self administering any medication including something like Tylenol if they don't know what the hell they're doing? I can see a scared kid doing something like buying 5 pills. Yeah this would require going to 5 different pharmacies ... i've been desperate enough to do that for a…

huh that's funny bc a friend and I came up with a theory that alcohol calories don't count and having gone from drinking ~6 drinks/ day to 0 immediately bc I realized alc was making me (excessively) unstable ... and not losing any weight and knowing some seriously skinny people who drink what should technically be…

The idea that massive massive sums of private pharma money is invested in developing drugs and R & D is purely driven by the pharma PR machine. A lot of life saving medications are funded by government grants (cancer and HIV drugs come to mind) and then a company will buy the patents to market the drugs. Usually…

I'm a guy and I guarantee and can out-stalk any girl on here...

huh he's just as much of a caricature and his dick is clearly accentuated...

god she has that impossibly annoying loud theater kid from your high school that always bursts into performance in the hallway in between class thing going on that is utterly repelling.

girls is set among a demographic subgroup of north williamsburg that is probably one of the whitest in the US ... i'm not at all saying that i think it's great for a show to only feature white characters and i've lived precisely there but it's so0o0o0 whitewashed its really not accurate to say its not reflecting the…

this is really fucked up but the way i thought of it once was that it's way cheaper to fill my adderall script than to buy coffee at starbucks everyday... or buy a coffee maker ...

hipsters live in Hoboken?????

This is another thing that makes me love to hate New York... in Ny you're expected to work for free or for something like a $200/month stipend to do menial shitty work even for a mediocre, uninteresting non-creative internship that in Boston would pay $20 an hour ( I know this from personal experience) ... but Boston…

Amen ... I personally know multiple people who have worked for free for both Jezebel and Gawker... these sites are extensively run by free labor this is beyond irony!!

um but I can say one of my unpaid internships was acutally fairly rad and consisted of having a keyful of coke shoved up my nose by my boss at 19 in new york... hah .. i didnt learn anything "useful" but I grew up alot ...

Unpaid internships are bullshit but they are absolutely the only reason I have a job in my field.. at 22 ... and honestly most 21 year old kids on summer break are sufficiently useless that they don't even command minimum wage for the work they do... YES unpaid internships create a dual system where better off kids…

I immidiately thought Nina Nobraev was Jwow too a pulled a wtf before coming to my senses ...
