...just because they are nude dancers doesn't mean they're comfortable being trotted out naked to be photographed.

I don't know dude, I really really don't. I can't tell you how many times I've had this exchange (with people who claim to believe in tipping their servers):

"...dudes with long hrrr messing up the sex game"

Agreed. Just because people misuse the term that doesn't mean the term is never accurate/appropriate. I've read so many bait-and-switch articles here on Gawker, I find it hilarious to see this article here.

Ethnic East Asians have a genome sequence in their DNA that causes the brain to construct a tiny gland in at the base of their brain and this gland triggers the production of an odorless secretion that seeps out through our pores and interacts with various organic compounds found in many ancient Eastern remedies. Most…

I think the biggest thing I take issue is that I don't for a hot second believe that these fads are limited to " largely an upper middle class/upper class fad, where we can assume that people have the disposable income."

It isn't about feeling intellectually superior, it's about trying to help people (overwhelmingly women, in my experience) think critically about things. The sort of thinking that ends up with you dropping money on homeopathy is often the same sort of thinking that can also get you ensnared in a terrible loan or buying…

"Science is at the tip of the iceberg understanding things like the placebo effect, quantum entanglement, and even homeopathy.

"I don't think scientific thinking is in any danger of losing a hold in this country

But "science" has figured out that most of the things discussed in this article have no appreciable effect on a human person's health or well-being. And because they cost money, they are not benign; since few people have an unlimited ability to spend money, the money that goes to these things, does not go to…

I hate to blow your vibe or throw off your groove, but as a rational person I believe in this very scientific diagram.

And what is the harm?

I went to a spirit healer and found out that my aura is a Crusader Aura. Which is nice because it gives me an additional 10% speed while mounted, which really comes in handy in battlegrounds.

It's articles like this that make San Franciscans, like myself, pat ourselves on the back. Because, no matter how self-important and socially blind our techie population gets, no matter how bad the gentrification, and no matter how utterly classist this town gets...we will still never be quite as douchey as…

Well of course it's bollocks. And of course it makes people feel better. In the UK, a GP (General Practitioner) appt is now 7 minutes long. Many, many people who go to the docs don't need medicine, they need someone to sit with them and listen. They need someone in a white coat, and authority, to sit, and LISTEN to…

"Does it make people feel intellectually superior to show up on articles like this and immediately declare it to be bullshit?"

I get why clickbait isn't acceptable to use for some sorts of criticisms, but how do you figure it's not acceptable to use in the case of a misleading headline designed to make people think that a fairly mundane article is not mundane? I take it to mean the same thing. You may not like that it carries with it a much…

Nope, same placebo effect.

Or "How I really loved Robin but Settled for Your Mother when she dumped me...". Or will the last hour change that impression?
