  1. “I don’t know, are GMO vegetables any different than regular vegetables, stay tuned”
    false analogy. this is grown from stem cells, not genetically modified cells.

    “if this is going to help save the planet and if it’s going to create a sustainable way of getting meat and feeding the population, then, sure, I’m definitely in favor of it”
    you know what else would do that? soylent green.

  2. Childbirth is literally the riskiest activity that a woman will ever participate in. That’s why it’s SO wrong to force any woman to do so against her will, and why these anti-abortion bills in Texas and elsewhere are so heinous.
    And, Ana, I’m so sorry to hear about the breakup of your longterm relationship. Please be kind to yourself in your singleness. Do things to enjoy life. And remember that you are an awesome human being, deserving of all the love and joy your heart can hold. Whoever the next young man in your life is, he will be the luckiest man on Earth!

  3. Seems to me that instead of “gay propaganda” they should be worrying about the run on dash-cams and seemingly high rate of traffic accidents in their country.

  4. I hate the argument regarding the $4.1 million pay-out, “Would you do it?”. I know they’re kidding, but it’s stupid. We’d all probably do it if we knew at the start it’s be 4 days and that at the end we’d get out. This guy didn’t know at all that he’d get out, and I think we’d all agree that, as John said, after day 2 he must have been totally believing he was dead, that he’d been forgotten. I remember TYT did a similar thing regarding the Rodney King beating – given the pay out would you take a beating. Rodney King shut that discussion down by pointing out his eye got popped out of it’s socket – aka “fuck that!”. On a different track, glad I finally forked out the $$$ to join up – y’all rock tyt.

  5. YES! now I can date Anna! lol the dream remains, holy shit though, she was this that guy forever. This is surprising to me psyche. I wonder what the deets were, I wonder if the rest of the TYT cast will hit on her, she is a smoke train.
