But the thing is, how do you know if the person is healthy or not?

Also I’m not sure if it’s a typo or what but ‘stair daggers’ made me chuckle.

If it doesn’t feel like it’s rewriting my DNA on the fly, my pre-workout isn’t Xtreme enough.

I say this as a science fiction writer who hopes to one day be published: Suspension of disbelief is my job, not the reader’s. I can’t demand they suspend their disbelief, it’s my job to make them want to, with a good story, interesting concept, compelling characters, whatever.

That also means not running my mouth on…

...and here come the comments which both completely prove the point of the article and justify its existence!

If you’re stupid enough to ask such a dumb question, the answer for you is no, because you’ve demonstrated that you have the social IQ of a grapefruit and would be incapable of doing it respectfully. Men who think “don’t ask your coworkers out” is a reasonable guideline for the sake of making women feel safe at work…

What are you tassaultking about

My uncle who was a Lakers season ticket holder in the 70s and 80s, watching Curry in the Playoffs last year: “Yeah he’s pretty good, he has the handles of Isaiah Thomas, and the shot of Jerry West. Damn if only Jerry had had a 3-point line we would’ve had a couple more banners.”

I think “intellectually curious” is putting a good spin on his tendency to ask “What is that?” when presented with everyday objects, like telephones or clams or sprinklers.

Jesus Christ, could they all just hump his corpse and be done with it?

I’d check this guy’s house for other items of interest. Maybe he has a propeller off of Amelia Earhart’s plane, or the clothes Jimmy Hoffa was wearing when he disappeared.

They believed she was the most marketable light-skinned black actress for the role. And just read all the other comments. Nina’s complexion and features played a huge role in her life. To give the role to an actress who benefits from her conventional beauty makes a mockery of Nina’s legacy.

Let’s add people now treating Felicity like she’s crazy because she walked out on Oliver and his damn secret keeping. “I didn’t want to a part of his life without you also having a chance to be a part of his life” he tells her one scene, then neglects to tell her about another big decision the next. “Crazy entitled…

Around IO9 (and in general) it’s a good move to assume that when people say they’re not down with something, they’re speaking honestly and in good faith. Doesn’t mean you have to agree, or are prevented from putting up a contrary argument, but starting out by implying people are cogs in some insincere “outrage…

Exactly - and surprise! watch the internet treat Iris like she’s some kind of psycho hell bitch because... well, she’s not really cool with her father and her adopted brother condescendingly treating her like an utter fucking moron. For her own good, of course. Even when it, yet again puts her in mortal peril.

I’m sorry, but that’s simply not true. There are several scientific theories regarding how the universe came into existence that rely on our current scientific knowledge and speculate logically from that starting point. Creationism does not rely on current scientific knowledge. There’s no scientific evidence to…

The word "creator" doesn't belong in a scientific journal because there is no scientific evidence for creationism. Unless your paper is positing some evidence for or against creationism, then the word creator doesn't belong, because at this point creationism isn't science; it's belief.

(author admission of bias: I have never published in PLoS One but I know several people who have)

Um..

Right, it wasn’t that he lied to her, or arrived at the decision without her, its that he didn’t reach out for support from her.

To be fair her main reason wasn’t that he was forced to lie due to an impossible scenario, she said she couldn’t marry him when he sent William away without talking about it with her first. The minute she mentioned that I was like “Dammit, that’s kind of an actual reason.”
