The entire rest of the world is watching on in horror at this point, but I assume the GOP and their supporters think we’re all inhuman Commie scum anyway. I mean, at first we thought it was a joke, like surely they’d learned after Obama’s second win that they needed to change up the game plan and stop appeasing the…

So what you’re saying is even if vaccines did cause autism (which they have been definitely proven not to) you would rather your kid contract a fatal disease and DIE than potentially become autistic. Any parent hiding behind that is a fucking terrible human being.

For 12 years though? And having your wife in on it too?

I also have a degree in psychology and you don’t know what you’re talking about.

If it’s ok with the Bible then it’s ok with Kim!

It is a good analogy given that the success or failure of a film owes a large amount to what critics have to say about it. Who else would be “the boss” providing feedback on performance for a film maker?

So they were entertaining back when Garden State was relevant? Ironic!

“I kicked that kid because I hate kids. I hate children of ALL races colours and creeds. I’m an equal opportunity child kicker.”

I couldn’t give a shit about height and I’m 5’9. When I dated men, I dated a couple of short guys. I clearly had no issue with it but they sure as hell did. One of them even broke up with me because he felt weird about us being in public together. Short guys moved to my do not date list because I really don’t have the…

I’m in my mid 30’s and I’m already no longer fuckable. I’m told I’m attractive and beautiful, but I’m not sexy or someone dudes want to fuck, which is fine by me since I don’t fuck dudes anyway. Watching my smart, intelligent girlfriends in their 20’s trying to negotiate relationships with incredibly immature dicks…

Milgram and Stanford were experiments. Not case studies. I’m really not trying to be a dick here but the distinction is hugely important and fundamental to your argument. It’s like someone saying “evolution is just a theory” because they can’t distinguish between the scientific and popular definitions of “theory”.…

Not being able to distinguish between intellect and education doesn’t make you look particularly bright either.

Do you guys have Implanon in the US? I don’t know anyone in Australia that uses IUD’s (they’re seen as kind of old fashioned here, whether rightly or wrongly) but tons of people have the implant. Lasts for three years, no periods (for many women, some have very light bleeding or spotting instead of a full period) and…

I’m a latter day gay too and on the implant which has prevented me having a period for three years. It’s stabilised my hormones and prevented a lot of chronic hormonal migraines I used to suffer. It’s a subcutaneous implant that lasts three years. I literally never think about it because I don’t see it or have to…

I’ve got the implant and haven’t had a period in three years. Three fucking glorious, incredible, wonderful years. I’ve never felt better. My hormones are so stable I don’t break down weeping for no reason like I used to. If you love your period, more power to you, but I have no goddamn idea why every woman who can (I…

I was raised by liberals, had great sex ed, waited till I was 18 to have sex and STILL got pregnant when my BC failed. And I had all my options explained to me by my doctor in a totally non-judgemental way and I chose to have an abortion which was easy to access because I live in a country where fundamentalist…

But you’re still treating case studies (trying to correlate a developmental disorder with upbringing in one person with zero control over independent variables) and experiments (how you determine physical/chemical properties with a high degree of control) as if they’re interchangeable which they clearly are not and no…

As a woman, trust me, there is no responses you can give to this question that will make men stop asking it. I’ve been told to smile while choosing paint samples at a hardware store. I’ve started snapping “my mother just died”. I am fucking faking a family members death to get these entitled arseholes to leave me…

What does that even mean? Validation is how repeatable your results are. They repeated the Milgram experiment with virtual learners and proper informed consent and received similar results to the original. First your problem is n=1 studies and now validation, but you’ve yet to explain how these things are actually any…

Small-n experiments are different to case studies though. Case studies are not experiments, they have little, if any, control and as such, are not generalisable. They are generally only used for extremely rare phenomena (like the language thing) or where it would be unethical to induce the condition under study (like…
