Despite what MRAs and regular men claim, marriage benefits men, not women. All of the stats confirm this. Married men report greater levels of happiness than singles, and it’s the reverse for women. Married men live longer than unmarried men, the reverse for women. When a man and woman cohabitate, generally she takes…

That’s great, but what about when it’s the dude who loses interest? Booze has the disastrously opposite effect than that intended :(

In most places, you can be fired for any reason. You can be fired for any of the above, but the company cannot press criminal charges for something that is not a crime.

The racists complain as if for the last however many decades of TV, when a POC died, it likely wasn’t gonna get national TV coverage unless they were wealthy, a young girl, or unless it was a slow day. Meanwhile, lily-white folks’ deaths were often televised, especially if they pretty and female.

The coverage has…

I live in Indianapolis and the entire city has been shocked by this. And everyone, from Amanda’s husband, her neighbors, the police, and members of the African American community, along with the Ten Point Coalition, a group of AA ministers working with the police to better relations in that community, have been…

The husband just released this statement. I’m just about in tears because he seems so genuinely NICE and in love with her:

Bradford called Fogle’s pedophilia “mild pedophilia.”

Step #1: Get drunk.

Necessity may be the mother of invention, but laziness is the cool uncle.

I would agree with you, except you seem to be arguing that we should just explain it all as free will, which is a bit like complaining that Newtonian physics cannot explain the behavior of black holes, so we should stick with God as the explanation for everything. Maybe your laziness circuits are over expressed, might…

I fully agree with this statement because I was raised by my grandparents who didn’t allowed me to even try to do anything because they figured I would mess it all up like my mother always did. I learned early on to stop trying, or asking to do ballet, swimming lessons, etc. because the answer was always “no!”

... “as you learned early on not to bother.”
There is a psychological phenomenon known as “learned helplessness,” wherein you learn not to act because nothing you do matters. The classic experience is shocking mice, allowing some of them to escape the shock by moving to another area, while others could not escape the…

But what if I was lazy and apathetic before I sampled the devil’s lettuce.

While we’re at it we could ask the “ignorant” and “prejudiced” folks if they realize how stereotypically ridiculous they sound.

““The brain uses around a fifth of the energy you’re burning each day. If it takes more energy to plan an action, it becomes more costly for apathetic people to make actions,” explained Husain. “Their brains have to make more effort.” Husain and his team published their findings in the journal”

Now you’re relying on the discretion of politicians to deem what is important and what isn’t, while simultaneously being courted by powerful industry forces.

I’m guessing it’s referencing the fact that informed sportsmen (like the authors of the articles Wes linked to), who have taken the time to understand the issues in detail, have decided that the Republican party is working against their interests in this situation.

The entire National Park budget annually is equivalent to the price of a single stealth bomber, adjusted for 2015 dollars.

With this, most intelligent sportsmen have abandoned the GOP. The public lands system is the Republican party’s finest achievement, attempting to dismantle it will be the end of them.

Can anyone explain to me why the Republican party is seen as the party for hunters and fisherman, when they’re the party working against conservation and against public lands?
