haha yes. The ghost of a girl who lost her will to comment on Jezebel after the Amy Pascal article was published. An apparently easily flattered ghost who is lured back after almost 2 years when someone sends her a comment of someone she liked mentioning her in a positive light (i.e. as a drug thief but the kind you…

While I’m pretty emotionally attached to living in NYC, if things go sideways here I will definitely head West and join up with your requested questionably obtained pool of medications.

That’s not gross bud, that’s called style commitment. At least that’s how I explain the pair of oversized sweatpants I am wearing — a decade old with so many holes in them they can no longer be worn in decent company.

I’m torn between saying “YOU’RE GROSS” and “Yes, Adultosaur as someone who has seen them eat away at rotting flesh on a living person I totally agree with you, let’s vomit together.”

No risk, no reward. We only discovered the mammogram because of that woman who attached herself to car batteries in the name of science.

I guess that depends on how serious you were being about assessing the scientific virtues of a movie about wrangling ghosts into electrified shoe boxes?

Actually, there are several peer reviewed articles by professional scientists who declared the science in the film sound. There is no need for mocking quotation marks, they were real scientists.

I just want to let you know, in case you don’t click her links, that the article she cites is a literature review from 1981 (and her claim that it is one of the two most respected journals in the world is dubious) and the “text for professionals” is basically the idiots guide to IQ and is designed for students and…

And the “textbook for professionals” linked is a book for students and laymen self described as “Short, reader-friendly introductions to cutting-edge topics in psychology. With key concepts, controversial topics, and fascinating accounts of up-to-the-minute research, The Psych 101 Series is a valuable resource for all…

The article you linked is a lit review from 1981.

If we rejected or accepted studies based on how they were reported in the popular media, no scientific progress would be made. Ever.

There is no age limit on happiness.

Counterpoint: I am the boss of everyone.

Literally get off the internet. I never want to see your screenname here again.

Wait, there are people who say you shouldn’t eat Mac and Cheese as an adult? Who are these monsters? I’m in my 30s, live alone, and have several boxes of Kraft in my pantry.

Anyone who balks at being asked to provide evidence for steadfast claims is not to be trusted. I’m a big believer in getting source articles. Whenever someone pulls the “why are you questioning me” angle, it automatically undermines their arguments.

Got it. I appreciate that you vetted them and your other sources. They are just SO OFTEN taken as fact by people that it drives some of us a little batty to see them in a science article. When people see them quoted multiple times on Jezebel with no mention of their unsavory past, they think EWG is a legitimate…

Absolutely. You should no more trust a random commenter on the internet (i.e. me) than them.

I’ll thank you not to use the c-word in my presence. Even reading it affects the levels of toxins in my blood.
