Does it really matter? Credible or not I think it helps to publicize this sort of stuff — both to expose this ugliness and to push sites like Twitter to improve their harassment policies.

To quote Professor Elemental: “When I say ‘herbal’ you say ‘no thanks!’”

Our frying pans’ instructions made it clear that the non-stick coating was fine in the dishwasher, but that we could expect the exposed surface of the outside sides and bottoms to discolor if we did so. Since we didn’t care, we dishwash them all the time, and they’re doing fine. Non-stick coatings eventually break…

There can be a fine line between being challenging and just being an asshole. This veered into the latter territory (and I don’t even mean the boner poke, which was just insecure and weird).

Just FYI, those of us who don’t walk around in heels all day are judging the hell out of you for being smug and nasty about it.

It’s very hard to both acknowledge that Clinton’s popularity is mired by sexist attitudes about women in public life, and that there are also other reasons why folks distrust her or dislike her. If you bring up one of these points, people tend to hit you over the head with the other fact, as if they can’t both be…

Potato ricer works great.

(sorry if I am getting too personal) Is conservatorship any option? We had a family friend who had to get conservatorship of her father because he refused to take his meds and was clearly unable to make important decisions, including about his medications.

It’s worth noting that you can be crazy and still have to pay for your crimes. In some places the insanity plea requires that you basically are unable to distinguish fantasy from reality. You can have a lot of mental health issues and still be able to tell what is real and what isn’t.

Why is it ridiculous or ludicrous? Because she’s a woman?

I’m sorry, I have to say something. I’m a Bernie supporter, and a longtime Jezebel reader, AND I was there in the room. I shot some videos that have been aired on major networks, and I actually have a relatively neutral perspective. Could you please interview me for an alternate view of what happened, instead of just…

Aw everyone seems to be having a legit great time, I’m happy for them!

“This is a title IX sport and and they’re making up a false investigation”

It’s not that they’re supporting their coach, it’s that they’re whining about being told they don’t have any say in who their coach is and protesting and investigation into who even knows what. Do you really think any school is gonna not investigate any potential wrong doing just because it might upset a few players…

Why don’t countries in which pregnant women drink in moderation have higher rates of FAS and other birth defects?

Except they don’t have any say in who their coach is. No college athlete does. Don’t like who you’re playing for then transfer. Also literally nobody in the school’s administration cares because softball isn’t generating the revenue that football is.

FAS is not caused by one drink. Or two. Please shut up.

There a no-none-zero studies linking fetal alcohol syndrome to the occasional drink. If that were a real risk everyone born before the last 20 years would be retarded. Go fuck yourself you judgmental ignorant piece of shit.

So if one were to take the time to read the studies (and there are a ton) fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are normally caused by binge drinking, and binge drinking in the second half of the first trimester. There has been no evidence found that light to moderate drinking after the first trimester causes any harm.…

The whole “there’s no (proven) safe amount” line ignores that there are also amounts that are not proven dangerous, that almost certainly result in no harm to the fetus, but that existing guidelines forbid because nobody fucking knows any better.
