This article says you can't win an online argument

Ooh, is that a challenge?

Well I mean, if you are pro pox party I'm not sure what your argument is against the vaccine.

Chicken pox is NATURAL. Chicken pox vaccine has TOXINS.

Nobody is ANTI-VACCINE, they just want vaccines to be SAFE. And mothers should be defining safe, not the CDC. Who are all corrupt and in the pocket of Big Pharma, you know. And have no Mommy Instinct, which is way more important for making medical decisions than that icky science stuff.

Sorry, I just threw up in my mouth typing that.

I can't remember which medical blogger (Mark Crislip?) pointed out that sending a live virus through the mail is essentially bioterrorism. I'm stopping just short of hoping someone winds up in Guantanamo for this idiocy. Just.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm really hating my new boss right now. He sent me a mail last night, "It was decided that we must comply with the standard below." This was in spite of the fact that I already explained to him how onerous it would be to bring us into compliance. He just blindly accepted the directive from above with absolutely no pushback, and then dumped all the work onto me.

Passive aggressive jerk.

Because books.

All I know is, chicken pox was awful. I had them down my throat and a lot of other really uncomfortable places. Jake was the only one of the kids to get it, because he was just ahead of the vaccine, and I was glad he had a fairly mild case.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Fuck. I'm so much more likely to eat if I go into work, because I have a rhythm there, and also there's tasty food made by other people. But I've been a literally trembling live wire (uh, literally trembling, not literal live wire. I don't know how to adjust the scope of the modifier for truth justice and the Buffista way) for at least two hours now, and I don't trust myself driving long distances or acting professional in front of people.

Although I still have that hour presentation to give today that I absolutely cannot get out of. And today is Yes-Man's last day. I need to be extra-attentive to that. Fuck.

Anyway, more Gatorade.

ita, I feel like you need a Buffista care package full of Luna bars or something. My inner Jewish mother wants you to eat!

Do you have anything with sugar? Orange juice, maybe? Or any kind of juice? At this point, whatever else is going on, your blood sugar is probably pretty low, which is going to make you shaky and dizzy.

Yeah, I don't think I'm chewing anything right now. I'll keep going on the Gatorade for a while and then upgrade to juice, less diluted than I usually drink it.

This has got to be a publicity stunt. NSFW in that it mentions porn, but it only mentions the word, not any actual porn.

"Hotels around the world have it, so why wouldn't we?" is what Michael O'Leary, boss of budget European airline Ryanair, says about in-flight porn.

OH GOD SO MANY REASONS.
