And you'd be correct; it's called "body dysmorphic disorder."

Probably because people are too afraid to be so open, to take such risks, to put things out there they might not get back. Which, again, brings us back to the key component of the experiment: Willingness to be vulnerable.

I remember. It happened at least through the 1980s in the Toledo, Ohio area. Of course, stations don't really sign off anymore; they end their days with infomercials and Steve Wilkos now.

Yup! I've played a bit of this demo in a store in Canada, and I'm itching to play it again and again.

I imagine it went down something like this.

I hadn't really thought about it, but I think you're probably quite right. My own background is divided between "Western European" and "Central/Eastern European." I know quite a bit about my Western European ancestry; not so much about the other side, and it's funny considering that they were the more recent…

Thanks for your comment. Yes, I think that U.S. education, in many respects, is quite lacking, although I also respect that there's only so much that can be reasonably taught during the K-12 years, and "Austria-Hungary" just might not be important enough to them. In general, though, I do think that there's such a…

I always enjoy a good article on history, and the 19th century royals are indeed a fascinating bunch. I also think Austria-Hungary tends to get overlooked (perhaps it's not "Western" enough?), so I quite like this on a few different levels!

You're telling me to buy a VW Jetta, and I'm already driving one. Works for me, I guess. I've had it for 12 years, and still hoping I can make it to 2020 before I have to think about buying another.

I can say from my own personal experience, consistent exercise, eating clean (whole foods with lots of natural fiber) and drinking a lot of water every day keeps me regular. The average Western diet makes me chronically constipated, and chronic dehydration will do the same regardless of how well one eats (in fact,…

My general thought about IAD is that these people likely have severe anxiety and stress issues, which alone can cause a lot of odd aches, pains and strange symptoms, which then causes them to be more anxious and stressed out searching for a diagnosis, causing even more odd aches/pains/symptoms and self-diagnoses. …

I know this is a bit of a side tangent, but German actually does this already—"sie" (coincidentally pronounced just like "zie") means alternately "she," "they," or "you" (used in formal situations and only if capitalized—"Sie"). "She is" is conjugated "sie ist," whereas "they are" is "sie sind" and (formal) "you are"…

While the walkthrough doesn't have the commentary

I agree, but I think that, unless you feel marginalized and feel strongly toward one party or the other, most people think the two parties are the same, and if one side "fails," they punish them by voting in the other side.

I'm fine with this. X-2 was all women, and with XIII, the three characters worth playing were all women. I know this can be a problem with a lot of other video games, but I think if there's one game franchise that can have a bit of slack cut for it, it's this one.

He's exactly what it says there: a character designer.

I feel like prepositions in English are just entirely random at this point, especially after studying German and realizing that all their prepositions were seemingly random too (i.e., one is "interested in" something in English, but one "interests oneself for" something in German). I'm pretty sure I've said "on…

It's a logical solution to this problem—that kind of awful trolling is never acceptable—but I also hope that there will be some regular, ongoing effort put in to identify "approved commenters" so that it doesn't seem like there's a static, "two-tiered" hierarchy to comments on all Gawker Media sites. It just tends to…

You're quite right. IP addresses are dynamically changed for most, so an IP ban will both affect unrelated users when its recycled and be ineffective since once they have a new IP address, they can start a new Burner account right away. Perhaps it might be a better idea to ban Burner accounts from posting images or…

He should have went with "Why is there poop on my thong?"
