This is the most naive, stupid moralizing I’ve heard in a while. I’m tempted by chocolate cake even after I’ve eaten a full meal. If you don’t understand what temptation means, perhaps you need a course in human psychology.

That’s the basis of an episode of South Park.

At my sister’s hospital, she’s a labor and delivery nurse with no attendings or residents (urban hospital), and management only has two nurses working on a shift with 30 patients. It’s not normal.

I agree with you that prison is not a place for rehab. And in a lot of ways, that’s bad. But there are some people that just can’t be rehabilitated, and don’t want to be.

These stories are all the same. “It was haunted, so we moved.”

As a woman, you’re always going to be on the receiving end of sexism at some point in your life. It’s just reality. The degree of it changes, of course, but there it is.

This is how every single one of our family portraits turns out.

Since you work in the field, I’m not sure exactly what’s so mind-boggling about wings hovering a few feet below the ocean surface.

Ugh. Yeah, your employer is right.

Right. I already have documented proof of the example I mentioned, plus two others of a similar nature. I don’t know if I have it in me to be Kevin Spacy-esque ruthless, I’m much too much of a rule follower and don’t-stir-the-coals persona, but sometimes the injustice gets to be too much.

Yeah, I hear that. I never really planned on a wrongful termination suit (I’m still employed, but they’ve fired all the competent people around here who basically ran the company, so I don’t think I’m safe), but to me it’s egregious how the rules are ignored for the golden boys and not for the underlings.

What state are you in?

Because kinja doesn’t work on mobile devices.

Here’s a question:

nevermind. Answered.

Yeah but a volcanic eruption is somewhat better telegraphed than an earthquake. We knew Mt St Helens was gonna blow, we couldn’t pinpoint exactly when, but we evacuated who we could well in advance.

Real question: What does your EQ kit contain? Tents? Sleeping bags? What?

If you think about it, though, this earthquake kit is a bandaid for the very hell that could be unleashed. I live in LA so I have one, but if there were seriously no drinkable water for at least 3 months? We’d be in serious trouble. We have some stockpiled huge water jugs, but I’m scared they won’t be accessible. You…

As time wears on, there will only be more Holocaust deniers. They didn’t have the chutzpah in 1946.

Ever have a best friend that you feel knows you from the inside out? That you love and you want to crawl inside? That everything you experience is more fun, more real, more everything because that person is there?
