Glad to have finally migrated from Friendster.

Nothing like comparison shopping for care while having a heart attack

Literally the only good performance she's ever had was taking apart Ellen with final boss mean girl energy

Be the Colin, not the Chet.

Some people choose to be the Colin other people choose the Chet

"Huge" equals a 2% reduction?

Ack! Thanks. The pronouns in the story got me confused.

This should read: "In other words, his son doesn't need to talk to him (and isn't talking to him) because his father's a controlling asshole."

Ahh crap! Yes. He and he. Dang TERFs got me confused with the pronouns.

And it's funny how you can read such anodyne text as:

"John suggested the patients on the anorexia ward should not be allowed phones but was told by a psychiatrist that it was their human right."

but know EXACTLY how this conversation went down and why people want him to fuck off.

"...and now that she is 18, he no longer gets court-ordered medical updates."

In other words, she doesn't need to talk to him because he's a controlling asshole, and she isn't.

I still think that en-dashes are the unsung heroes.

It's tech and infrastructure lock-in.

Plenty of teens have alcohol and drug problems and go to great lengths to find their fix, but legalization for kids doesn't seem like a plan to tackle the issue.

The whole "but it's for historical accuracy!" argument is pretty frustrating when the story is about a shapeshifting alien that eats people

This is why I get a little nervous about the Last Week Tonight type of format. The team behind Oliver's show do provide references (@adamconover.net 's Adam Ruins Everything did it the best though!), but attribution and compensation are becoming less and less important.

Their own fact sheet introduced with the original bill referenced that it was dependent on the elected official "not upholding their responsibilities". It's just sheer fucking hubris that they assumed it would never be turned on their own caucus.

Smith and Kenney are just despicable little shits. This recall literally isn't about "taking a different position" regarding implementation. This is about a government using the Notwithstanding Clause to break a labour action in an unfair and capricious way.

What I'd expect is that a hypothetical scenario as described would just turn the US into a customs and defense union. Dealing with the multiple military facilities would be too much of a headache.
