I don't have a good explanation for why the label feels intimidating, but I don't know what else I'd need to do to prove to myself that I deserve it. So thank you Texas for once again demonstrating that I'm not just a big fish in a small pond.

Since living in Texas, I've played 143 hours and just passed the Biloxi total. Of my $4,876 I've made here, less than $100 is food comps since the comp rate here is $1/hr.

I remember the whole fight 20 years ago about whether a group of Muslims were allowed to build a community center that had a mosque in it. Conservatives were claiming it was "too close" to Ground Zero. Hearing that get hashed out was a nightmare.

We drastically need a full conference realignment and reset but it would be nearly impossible with all the historical baggage. Dropping the FBS to 4 16 team conferences has been my pitch for a decade.

It isn't a survey of doctors, nurses, geneticists, psychologists, children's behavioral experts, or literally any type of healthcare professional or even scientist. It is a survey of parents of children with autism.

The first citation is a survey. It's a survey of only 150 people, but I'm not here to harp on the ridiculous sample size needed to earn the first citation slot on the fucking CDC website. The survey asks the participants if they think there is a link between vaccines and autism.
