The story of how a woman lost her daughter because the grandmother didn’t believe that the girl’s coconut allergy was real, despite years of watching the parents trying to find out the allergen so that they could stop the girl from winding up in the emergency room. The grandmother kept the kid overnight and used coconut oil on her hair; the child went into anaphylaxis and died.

The mother said that the grandmother begs her to see her other grandchildren, as they’ve now cut ties with her; the mom’s response was, “You can come over when you bring my daughter with you.”

A horrible story of how some people just believe they know better than everyone, including doctors.

Oh my god. This was amazing.

MacKenzie Scott, Bezos’s ex. She’s given more than $14 billion to charity.

I don’t think that guy can feel his teeth.

I wish I had just a bit of whatever he’s on. Holy shit.

This is a good point.

The first thing that came to mind, oddly enough, was Blockbuster refusing to buy Netflix for the equivalent of a rat and a string to swing it with.

This is such a lovely question. Thank you for being you.

I’d say that it would be important to talk positively about the women you know. If you have a female SO, for example, tell him how smart and curious and funny she is. Make a point to be open about the respect you feel for the contributions of your female co-workers. Tell him stories about when girlfriends were clever, and so on.

Hey, I think it’s fine to cut yourself some slack on this issue. :-)

You like what you like, and if you’re going to commit resources and time to another being over 18 years or so, I think it’s fine to enjoy the way it looks! I for example love gray cats, but only because of a positive association I have with a previous pet. Are all gray cats as loving as he was? I’m sure not, but I still have such positive thoughts in my head about the grey babies. 

Internet hugs to you, friend!!

I fail to see how this isn’t the apocalypse.

Yayyyyy congrats!!

That’s exactly it. Almost 70 percent of land is in the northern hemisphere.

Teach me how.

Yeah at this point, there’s two types of people. Those who aren’t interested in climate change either because they don’t believe it will happen or believe we can stop it, and those who are absofuckinlutely terrified. I think I’d rather be blissfully ignorant.

Push-ups never judge me.

I lift weights. What else is there? :)

It’s easy to look at this from the lens of people just wanting power, but maybe it’s something akin to the grief, honest grief, I felt about leaving Reddit because I had been there so long as just a user. I can’t imagine how it would feel to give up control over something that I had created and curated for many years knowing that it was going to be destroyed.

Fair enough!

But isn’t that just giving Reddit more traffic and doing exactly what spez wants us to do?
