Neuroscience today isn't really one of the "natural sciences." It's a loosely defined interdisciplinary field, and like most loosely defined interdisciplinary fields, it mostly involves appropriating others' research in actual sciences to dress up academic gobbledygook from some other field with a veneer of scientific…

Good point. I thought maybe the doves just symbolized how there never could really be peace with King Fuckface on the throne, as his every tantrum will inevitably lead to more death and violence, but that seemed/would be too heavy-handed.

Not to defend Deen's stupid-ass remarks, but one of my wife's relatives (also an elderly Southern white woman) knows her and claims that, in addition to being a huge Obama supporter, she's very progressive in her social politics as well (especially in regards to LGBT rights).

I was going to write a proper response, but seeing as how you're the kind of guy who registers new accounts on messageboards to leave single, asinine comments about television shows you don't like, I imagine you're probably pretty busy and I'd hate to distract you from whatever important work you're doing.

Babies don't all look the same. Most do, and in a just world, all would. I envy your naivete, I really do, and God knows I'd like to still believe the same thing… but the truth is that babies don't all look the same. It's an ugly truth; a damn, ugly truth if there ever was one… one we don't ever talk about, but then,…

Well then, obviously, as with Star Trek, the key to making a successful new Star Wars film is to find a director who hates Star Wars and wants to make something totally at odds with the original intent of its creator. So basically, George Lucas.

The mini-series where he manages Liverpool was pretty funny too.

This is very true. You're not going to influence your kids' tastes. The best you can do is introduce them to music that matches their tastes. And when they're older, you'll just have to accept that they'll like some crappy new music because that's part of their culture and people will obviously relate to expressions…

Let me say one thing: if you don't let your children enjoy children's music, you're a terrible parent. Simple, singable, developmentally-appropriate music is good for kids because it enables them to quickly grasp a sense of melody and rhythm. That provides a foundation for their music tastes to develop. Yeah, you can…

Yeah, my 3 year-old son loves Kraftwerk. It's about machines, has memorable melodies and an awesome beat… it's really the ideal music for kids who are into trains and robots and the autobahn. He also likes Daft Punk, but only if he has a lot of energy to burn off. But any time is good for Kraftwerk as far as he's…

I had no idea that NMH were discoverable again. I had assumed the last discovering of them was still in effect, but damn, that was already 8 years ago, wasn't it?

The best part of the trailer is when the narrator goes "the world's greatest soccer player" and then it shows him playing for Celtic. I'm looking forward to the sequel about the world's greatest basketball player, a handsome and lovelorn shooting guard for the Halifax Rainmen.

Not entirely. The idea that everyone should live in the suburbs and commute 2 hours to their job in the city because living in cities is only for the very poor or very rich is economically and environmentally unsustainable. The idea of smaller communities existing on the periphery of major metropolitan areas is not.

What can I say? I like fresh air, trees and not having packages stolen off my doorstep within five minutes of delivery.

Full retard rom-com.

Never saw it but I could tell it was horrible by the fact that it was always rented out at the movie store where I worked and all the most awful people in the world would always ask if there was any way I would know when it would be back in or if there was "one in the back" and then further irritate me by insisting…
