The problem with this type of research is that the researchers classify individuals with predominantly plant-based diets as “vegetarian”, even if they eat some meat (or fish). You are not vegetarian if you eat any meat. Ask a vegan.

Lol. You read the paper?

Well, I never said that. I’ll thank you not to put words in my mouth. I never said either of these was science or pseudoscience.

If you wanted to compare good vegan diets to bad ones, you’d think you would start with a population of vegans.

As a vegetarian, I find these studies preposterous because they clearly reflect the biases of the lead researcher(s) (and possibly the sponsors) more than anything else.

I grew up with a bunch of Jain kids. Most of them ate chicken when out and about with us and then went back to pretending that they never touched meat when they got back home to their parents. It is safe to state that there is a difference between people stating that they never eat animal products and people who…

But scrapping the Minuteman-III will not only save money, it will show Russia, and other emerging nuclear powers like India and Pakistan that America is serious about non-proliferation.

Keeping a journal of your dreams is not the same as picking a card at random and drawing conclusions from the specific card you drew. I grew up with a lot of this bullshit in a country that is the source of a lot of this “eastern mysticism” bullshit. Tarot cards, astrology, palmistry, these are all bullshit. You…

And if I need to be an alcoholic to survive some pretty fucking intolerable circumstances, then (unless I get behind the wheel) that’s my fucking business.

I am worried about people dragging this idea of “no judgment” into every conversation about pseudo-scientific bullshit. If alcohol helps you deal with every “clusterfuck” you encounter in life then you are an alcoholic. If you look to pseudo-scientific bullshit to get through those “clusterfuck” situations then you…

The presumption is that we’re doing the talking (which is very American), instead of us actually listening to them. So the first thing to do is to hear where they’re coming from and meet them where they are

This is only for people who have never done this before.

The difference in electricity on how much you consume from CFL’s vs LED’s translates in a very small difference when it comes to staring at your electrical bill.

I’d just let the kid decide whether they want to get it done when they get older. Then take them to the nearest tattoo shop and let them fuck up their earlobes.

I usually smile, greet and/or nod. I personally detest small talk and wish people would leave me alone. I hate it when I am in the elevator and people think they really *have* to talk to me. I am not interesting and it is awkward (at least it is for me).

Everyone at FOX Sports, no matter what role we play, or what business, function or show we contribute to — should act with respect and adhere to professional conduct at all times. These values are non-negotiable.

Well, doesn’t McGregor play touch-butt? I am sure scratching and biting are an advanced mobility exercise for him.

I am not saying that Mayweather would win. I am saying that in an “actual fight” which would have no fucking rules whatsoever, your experience in boxing or MMA doesn’t guarantee anything. Also, McGregor is not a great grappler. He is miles better than I am but that doesn’t mean anything. McGregor would win in an MMA…

Kicking the head of a downed opponent, breaking fingers, gouging eyes, biting off important parts of the body (though Mike Tyson did bring that art to the Boxing Ring), kicking the nuts, weapons. There is a ton of shit that happens in an “actual fight” that aren’t allowed in MMA. If someone wants to make the claim…

I didn’t say that Mayweather would do anything, actually. I said that talking about “actual fights” is moot when every professional martial arts competition of boxing match have rules. If you don’t consider boxing to be an “actual fight” then neither is MMA. In which actual fight do you not kick the head when someone…
