I would like to understand why. Why?

I love Answer Me This!, This American Life, Radiolab, The Bugle, and Savage Love. I like Stuff You Should Know and Stuff You Missed In History Class. RISK! and The Moth are good if you like stories, but dangerous if you accidentally listen to a depressing or anxiety-producing episode right before you get somewhere…

Have fun! I'm super jealous as I haven't been on a date since June of last year. Thus I also understand your extreme enthusiasm.

There are a lot of reasons for drug testing, but they include: eligibility for school/professional sports programs, screening before hiring at sensitive positions, mass transit drivers (for safety reasons), and because your employer wants to fire people and needs a good excuse. I have never been drug tested, but I…

This could just as easily have been titled "How to Make Yourself Look Like an Anime Character."

You're forgetting abortions in cases where the mother's life is threatened, where the fetus will not be viable outside the womb, or in cases of genetic abnormalities. I personally know people who have had abortions for all three reasons. All were wanted pregnancies, all had to end with medical intervention. In one…

100% agreed. I got my copy from my hippie sister-in-law and was a bit worried it would be full of a lot of new-age meditation stuff, but it was very informative, scientific, easy to follow, and effective. No millennial nonsense either.

It can take a year for a perfectly healthy couple to conceive. I recommend the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" to help you understand how to check your cervical mucus, and why using an ovulation test may not be working for you. My husband and I had been trying for a couple of years but I got pregnant within a…

More likely Captain Sunshine.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. It sounds like you made the best choice under the circumstances, and it's never a good sign when you're having suicidal thoughts. It can be really hard to reconcile the knowledge that you did the right thing with the pain of losing the possibility of a baby in the near…

On CE the woman posts one ad and gets propositioned by 60 guys per hour (in my not-very-limited experience) and the man posts one ad and gets 80 spam ads. In this case the guys post an ad and get propositioned by 80 women and the women get spammed by three guys.

I was 25 and went to see great period sets and a CGI boat split in half. I was quite satisfied on both counts.

I always sign my emails. In case the email gets forwarded to someone else, it makes it clearer which parts were written by me, and which by the forwarder.

I don't have a man cave or a penis, but I still like this skeleton.

It wasn't only ancient Greece that clowns with strap-ons: at the Denver Art Museum there is a drawer (in a children's area!) that you can open to view a French etching from the 18th century of French clowns wearing giant black codpieces that look like erect phalli. I have to show it to everyone that I take to the…

It was published on the second, but I'm guessing that was an editorial oversight.

Not to mention: Correlation is not causation. Even if all of those things were true, it doesn't mean that one caused the others. The increase in birth control use correlates with the rise in gas use and gas prices, but the use of birth control did not cause consumers to buy SUVs.

My friend is so in love with Kaiden Alenko that her boyfriend got really drunk at our last RPG and went on a rant about it. She scheduled her vacation to coincide with the release of Mass Effect 3 as soon as she heard it was coming out. She played Mass Effect 2 with no romances so that she could stay true to Kaiden…

Missionary hits my clit, doggy style hits my cervix: missionary all the way.

Try crying over a pint of Haagen Dazs. That does it for me every time.
