So gorillas and other primates don’t tear their ACLs and have back issues like human males do. Should we just stop any athletic activity now? Our 100 m time is shit compared to any four legged animal. Everyone knows that men aren’t beset with gestational and birthing duties so our bodies are better for sport and many…

I am an allopathic physician who has gone holistic and a big reason for that is that there is surprisingly little evidence for the bulk of what modern medicine professes to be medicine. In fact, over half of our medical and surgical practices have no bearing on outcomes and likely cause harm. The worst offenders are…

Bruh... you must be like Einstein or something. You really have a nuanced understanding of biology or something

So the really sad thing... I’m a physician and I would work near South Dakota (Fairmont) to the Wisconsin border (Winona). I had to stop doing a part of my mental status exam on confused patients where I asked “who is the president?” because three patients said “the nigger”. I couldn’t fucking believe it. I did my…

As a transplanted, pigmented resident of MN, I will say the hottest, most Aryan females among them consistently went for the pigmented fellows... and I have a delightful half Indian-half Swedish son and he has delightful half Sri Lankan-half Swedish cousins. So it’s only a matter of time until MN is pigmented and they…

So this may have actually happened.

It is still best to avoid eating late, but because we are meant to sleep at night, not being up and working/goofing off. Many cultures focus on eating a big breakfast and lighter dinner to take advantage of our digestive peaks so you will sleep better and regurgitate less into your wind pipe when gravity is not…

hmmm... men are not as free to wear whatever they like as you think. Granted, there probably is less effort and more comfort in what is acceptable for a man but men can not dress effeminately in most places, for example.

I’d still do her

I am a physician and this is one of the most absurd things I’ve ever heard, and I have seen A LOT and have a huge tolerance for non-PC practices. I get annoyed when we are overly sensitive to peoples’ uncomfortableness and uptightness for certain things but there is no reason this should ever take place for the…

Such utter disregard of gravity. Such force. This .gif belongs in a museum to be preserved for all of humanity to behold (for a small suggested donation)

No, his stand-up is great. Many people are turned off by his cockiness, which I understand but he does say the things that need to be said and is mostly funny about it.

I'm a physician with extra training in statistics and am not bothered by Maher's comments or attitude. I have disagreed with him in the past, particularly in regards to vaccines, but overwhelmingly he is one of the most effective supporters of science.

As an Indian male (born and raised here, though) I'm going to reply to clarify and fix a bit of bias here. I will acknowledge, there can be a certain village mentality among some Indians who just immigrated here (cab drivers, etc) and I don't doubt that many are creepy as hell. But I like to consider myself somewhat…

I agree, not a great quote and detracts from his argument... but to say it has nothing to do with Islam is not correct. 1. The reason Arabs are basically conflated with Islam is because they are considered the creme de la creme of Muslims and set the precedent for doctrine. And many Arab men do hold middle age,…

I just took a look back, the article only quotes him saying things about Islam. In his previous rants, he pretty much points to specific religions and their texts... he can be bigoted but I can only remember him doing that towards fundamentalists (Christians, Muslims, etc). I understand it feels racist but this is the…

I still don't think he was listening to their argument. Maher and Harris' focus is on Islam, not Muslims. They were citing polls on peoples' attitudes in Muslim countries and then showing how the teachings within religion texts influenced/supported those views. A point they made... we lost our shit because ISIS…

Reading the replies here is discouraging... Ben Affleck wasn't listening to a word Bill Maher or Sam Harris said that night and neither did most on this thread. His views on all religions are fairly consistent and as harsh as they seem, they are needed.

This is not about reproductive planning. Humans have agency but we are still animals and exhibit certain patterns of behavior. Perhaps in the summer people bang twice a week because they are busy traveling, outdoors, etc but in the winter, they bang thrice a week and voila, birth rate goes up. It is the small little…

Did anyone notice how fast the truck got on the scene? How was that possible?
