My family has had, like, 3 cats that just could not figure out meowing. They would open their mouths, make a beeping noise, and look confused, every day of their lives. Is this a common thing? Are our cats just dumb?

WTF are these comments? COME ON YOU GUYS it’s objectively ridiculous that we live in a world where there is an hours long class about how to apply substances to your face so random strangers will see at your pictures on the internet and think you are attractive. This is a hobby for desperately insecure people who need…

I guess? I feel like, with diet, all things in moderation. The occasional red meat and bread probably are going to have a negligible impact on your overall health, so I don’t really see completely giving those things up as a victory.

You’re right, I totally shouldn’t say that inflammation isn’t real. Hyperbole fail for me! What I really mean is that I don’t believe inflammation is keeping people from losing weight, because, like you said, what even would the mechanism for that be? And I think that medicine has enough of a handle on inflammation…

Ugh, Jesus, I’m sorry. That sounds so terrible. :(

Thanks!! I was telling another commenter this, but that’s the other thing that bugs me about the inflammation fad- if doctors really could make you lose weight by testing for inflammation and handing you a food chart, THEY WOULD BE DOING THAT. Inflammation isn’t some kind of secret.

woooooooo hysterical crying jags only interrupted by uncontrollable rage for everyone!!!

Ughhhhhh you’re so right, inflammation is the new toxins. And that’s the other thing that annoys me about this- doctors know about inflammation! They’re pretty good at detecting it, and for a lot of stuff, decent at treating it! If people were really walking around with significant enough inflammation that it was…

Based on the people in LA I hear blathering about the anti-inflammatory diet, it’s the second one. :(

Unless you have an actual digestive problem with what you’re eating, food is not giving you inflammation. I seriously doubt the average person has any medically significant amount of inflammation. If this diet works for you, great, but it’s seriously not curing any out-of-control inflammation.

I wonder if these people who bleat about the 2nd amendment and how there would be no school shootings if kids could bring guns to school have realized that, if that were true, MUSLIM KIDS COULD ALSO BRING THEIR GUNS TO SCHOOL. And they can’t even handle this kid bringing in a clock?

Jesus Christ, that’s a terrible thing to say, and it’s also terrible she was a victim several times. I hope she does realize what’s wrong with what she said someday. :(

what noooooooo I was literally just saying how I hadn’t heard anything egregiously bad about Helen Mirren and now this :(

I’m late to the party, but this sounds like an amazing gift for a guy whop likes beer and DIY!!! I have one and I always feel like a wizard when I’m using it and then I go around bragging to everyone how I made a beer that tastes like real beer. I say go for it.

Same here! All our neighbors were Miss Vena and Mr. Frank and what have you when I was a kid. I don’t live in the South anymore, so maybe older people now don’t really do that so much. But it didn’t feel like I was being regulated to some kind of lesser status as a kid by being expected to call adults Mr and Mrs, like…

That original article is one of the fucking dumbest things I’ve ever read. Even if you’re not paying for diapers and mortages now, does she think the money to pay for those things if you decide you do want them some point later on just falls out of the sky and into your savings account? And even if you’re still…

It isn’t the whole story, but there’s a genetic basis to how susceptible some people are to heroin. Some people are going to be able to walk away from doing heroin once or twice just fine, and some people are already going to be hooked.

Most bangable Dylan ever, too. Sorry, Bob.

I was thinking the same thing! But I also never expected her to be the most convincing Bob Dylan actress in that whole Bob Dylan movie, so maybe she’ll surprise us...

I am! Unless your idea of fun is eating a box of craft supplies and then vomiting it up on your fingers. Then no, I’m afraid I’m not.
