You are not wrong.
Of course I’ve had the feeling that someone was lying to me. I’ve just never presented that feeling as substantive evidence. You say I’m “splitting hairs,” but that couldn’t possibly be a more disingenuous characterization. You can objectively and empirically prove that someone is not telling the truth by using…
Deadspin commenters are so emotional.
“Interesting” is a matter of opinion. Whether or not someone is lying is a matter of fact. You can’t actually be wrong about what interests you, although I suppose you could lie about it. I’m really not sure why you’re having trouble determining the difference between a subjective opinion and an objective fact.
It’s interesting to hear you talk about your “internal radar” for spotting liars, and how much this has improved your life given the ample scientific evidence that 1) people are no better than chance at detecting lies, 2) often the better you think your internal detection mechanism is, the worse it actually is, and 3)…
You’re not just talking about the story. You’re talking about how you think crime victims behave, and you’re doing so in a way that perpetuates harmful and wrongheaded ideas about “normal” victims that have no basis in an actual understanding of human psychology.

Most people in the military are men. However, women who serve are much more likely to be raped.
Aimee. This article is a hot mess.
I mean, it definitely doesn’t necessarily mean that. Restructuring bankruptcy can mean a lot of things. We don’t yet know what.
Yeah, I don’t think it always indicates bisexuality. At least in people who were originally straight-identified but came out as gay later, their identity may not have ever been bisexual. They may have felt social pressure to conform with straightness. Or they may have completely lost interest in people of another sex.…
You might consider having someone post on a Gawker site about what Chapter 11 Bankruptcy means: I don’t think most people really understand restructuring vs. liquidation bankruptcy.
I thought they were lesbians?
It’s funny how you keep calling my experience lacking when I’m the only one of us who has any experience with the phenomenon we’re actually talking about. I’ve given you personal examples, I’ve given you other direct examples from the entertainment industry, and I could link you to about a thousand more articles about…
“Me, too” is grammatically correct regardless of whether or not there is a verb because there is an implicit verb from the previous sentence.
