A single fancy paper clip.

The D-Celebrities... such a strange breed. I can’t imagine a high enough financial compensation that would make me nationally televise my horrible relationship with my drunken mother. It would have to be enough to then go buy an island and forever retreat from society... as perhaps, some of these celebrities should…

Not sure if you read it, but this Slate article was really popular when it came out. It also gave me a nice sense of validation-as someone who did not come from such a nice family and chose to keep a distance, and then grappled with that guilt.

What you went through is so stressful. You also made a perfect point about the costs involved with the medical system. The article, as well as some of the accompanying comments, have been rather tone deaf on the financial situation of a significant portion of Americans. Like you said, what if you don’t have health…

There seems to be a problem with how Lolita has been twisted around to an idyllic, romanticized notion in order to find a suitable place in pop culture, or better yet, hipster culture. It’s classic literature that concerns a depraved pedophile that victimizes a young 12 year old. This is not an enchanting and…

Look, while I have no interest to shove herbal mothballs up my cooch, the reason that these products have found a possible market is that a lot of modern medicine, as well as drugstore products, do zilch. While Western medicine has had many triumphs, let’s not be overly dogmatic or ethnocentric. Not all doctors are so…

Ooooh, I know what you mean about The Last Kiss. He played such a jerk character, and while it was just a character, I’m so accustomed to assuming that Zach Braff’s characters are him. That’s his fault. Ahem...

When it’s a stranger or even a distant relative, it can be easy to dismiss and ignore it all, but when it’s a parent, it’s so confusing. A mind fuck really. As children, we’re programmed to depend on them for our basic survival, and in effect look up to them and what they say as God. People who grow up with loving and…

When I was in my first year of law school, a fellow student that I had been friends with for two weeks asked me out. I politely rejected him and honestly told him that I was not interested in dating anyone in my first year of law school as I had too much on my plate already (limited finances and family deaths). Little…

It’s amazing how many of us grow up with these type of fathers, myself included. It’s commendable that you are able to recognize his unhealthy/flaming wrong-o behavior. Unfortunately, for a lot of us, when we grow up with that type of male mentality (especially as the ‘head of our household’), it almost validates and…

The food babe? The fuck is that?

Also, the rarer it is, the longer it rots and festers in your colon. But hey, free choice!

A biochemistry professor has invented a meat-free burger that looks and bleeds juice just like the beef you cook on your grill.

Careful when lumping ‘vegan lifestyle’ with the trend of genetically modified crops. Many vegans are against corporations like Monsanto and are pro-environmentally friendly organic farming methods, as well as supporting local farmers.

Yes, but in terms of the quantity, never before have humans consumed this much meat. It’s scientifically inaccurate to lump together all humans from the Paleolithic era into one single dietary regime. The amount of meat consumed varied according to geographical area (the availability of plants and berries, as well as…

That’s normal and don’t feel bad. Relapses occur the most when people do the cold turkey route. Little by little, diminish your meat/animal products and increase the plant-based foods. Be patient and easy going with yourself. When people take it slow and gradually change their diet, they monitor how they feel after…

Please consult some dental journals before you spout off such nonsense.

Meh. In this day and age, there are some pretty damn good veggie burgers that will rival most.

One of the top 10 best comments that I’ve ever come across on this site. I wish I could like it more than once.

Fuck the microbeads. It’s all about the coconut oil and brown sugar combination. Mmmmhmmmm. Yum.
