I don't even care at all what people are supposed to take away from Evo Psych "research". Just that they take a behavior and assume it is the result of evolution (as if any behavior that exists MUST be) and THEN go so far as to make guesses as to why that behavior supposedly improved survival rates at some…

Sociology has different methods. I was referring to the type of direct observations in controlled settings where an independent variable is manipulated, such as with Applied Behavior Analysis.

I don't have a problem with Evo Psych that deals with neural components or genetic components, but that is NOT the majority of the research that is being done and it is especially not the kind that people like to read and talk about because typically people think it proves their existing biases. And I have a problem…

Whoa whoa whoa. There is a huge difference between evolutionary psych and real Psychology. Real Psychology is science. It is not actually that hard to test and observe human behavior, as opposed to human behavior over the course of evolution.

I appreciate the question mark at the end of the "squee" tag. Although, really, it should just be a question mark.

I must have grown more perceptive since I took that personality test. Cab Franc?? Ew. But Reisling is my JAM.

I ended up watching this because it's on after my beloved Bob's Burgers. I kept waiting for Stewie to figure out how to bring Brian back or for the new dog to give Evil Shifty Eye behind everyone's back or something. Not because I'm in shock, or disbelief, or give any shits at all, but because Brian's death was…

Or drink the blood of unicorns.

And she is super adorable about it, which fools everybody but Stan and Kyle.

Ok, at this point JLaw is SO COOL I'm seriously starting to get suspicious. I have to believe she has some kind of super terrible secret... I'm afraid to love!

That's what was happening in my head when I heard the news!

Yeah, I don't hear any facetious outrage over peppermint in December!

Yes, clearly the problem is that we just don't understand how much smarter these white dudes are than us and why letting them govern our bodies is for our own good! I seriously wouldn't be surprised if they tried puppets and shoe analogies at this point.

And yet most people aren't railing against movie and video game rating systems that (attempt to) keep children away from sex and bad words in the name of free speech, and we fucking LOVE our free speech. There was a point where guns and gun idolization became hugely overvalued in our culture at the expense of social…

I hear you. My family is pretty squarely middle class, I think, but they didn't save for my college because scholarships go to smart kids! But then it was like, oops not really. So then we all figured loans would be a good investment! And now I'm like, oops, not really. I'm going to need an MA and I probably won't…

That could have been part of it, but the main thing is being able to form a militia with other armed citizens. My understanding is that it was designed as another way to check the government in case it got out of hand. Especially since the vote of the people was only meant to be a suggestion for how our…

Technically that is exactly what the Right to Bear Arms is there for. So A+ to that guy for actually reading and understanding his Constitution! Of course, the Founding Fathers had no clue what kinds of crazy ass weapons we would come up with, so..... No. That amendment makes no sense now and the fact that people take…

Comparing gun culture to rape culture makes so much sense. Both are absolutely about power.

Yeah... I don't know how many times this needs to be pointed out to you, but the areas that are considered part of Detroit can be very, very different. Comparing the predominantly white suburb where this happened to the inner city is just ignorant. Maybe you are just really young and haven't learned this yet, but just…
