Please don't let me yell at my anti-vaxxer friend on FB. Please don't let me yell at my anti-vaxxer friend on FB. Please don't let me yell at my anti-vaxxer friend on FB.
I mean, good god, there will NEVER be double-blind randomized clinical trials of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children, and you know why? IT'S FUCKING UNETHICAL.
And don't tell me "reputable studies have duplicated Wakefield's claims and proven the link that thousands of parents already KNOW about why our children's lives are ruined." Because (1) citation needed, I mean REALLY, if you're going to claim that peer-reviewed randomized clinical trials exist that prove a connection between vaccines and ASD, and (2) you're a shitty parent if you proclaim your child's life is "ruined" because of an ASD diagnosis. Go fuck yourself.
So, yeah. I'm not going to post that because there is no reasoning with crazy-ass antivaxxers. SCIENCE HAS PROVED YOU WRONG so shut the fuck up, wingnut. And try viewing your kid as a person instead of something that's "ruined."
Do they have redeeming qualities that make up for the anti-vax shit? (It's totally a dealbreaker for me, but I expect, as you are awesome, they must have some good points.)
They have a lot of good points, and are exceptionally smart, which is why I'm so boggled at the antivaxxer stance (other than the part that this friend and his wife are raising the wife's nephew with ASD, so they have a personal stake in it). (But, you know, lots of other people who have a personal stake in it also manage to RESPECT THE SCIENCE OH MY GOD.)
My Dad is pushing for a new Prius. Anyone looked at one of those recently?
My parents just replaced one of their old Prius with the new one and they really like it. They are total Prius addicts, they both have one.
Pretty sure I would have to at least unfollow that person on FB, Steph.
You guys, I just got the resume for a possible new bigwig here, and it's like a parody of an out-of-date resume. I don't even know. It start with an objective ("To get this job at this place") and ends with "references on request." It has his high school WITH AWARDS (a very fancy high school, but still).
Jesse, that's a resume for a possible bigwig? How come bigwigs don't have to update their dang resumes for the current century?
Steph, holy MOG.
I am tempted by a Captain America marathon, but it starts at 7AM at a theater at least half an hour away. If it was the one 5 minutes away, maybe.

A good question! I guess if your wig is big enough, it doesn't matter?

Same. And I really would want to see The First Avenger, which will be the actual 7am show, right?
I have not found a nearby marathon option.
