And it works in the song “Buffalo Gals”.

That Venn Diagram is in fact a circle.

There was an interesting article on 538 recently about the psychological differences of being uninformed vs misinformed. Uninformed people respond to facts by learning. Misinformed people react to facts by backing themselves into a defensive posture and screaming about liars rather than deal with the emotional aspects…

If you can’t afford to put food in your fridge, you aren’t middle class and would likely benefit from.....WELFARE! Don’t blame the people who understand that and signed up for it, blame your asshole bosses who pay you “middle class” wages of $9 an hour.

I think there is a big difference in people’s attitudes toward obesity between saying “if you eat an orange instead of a Snickers, it will be better for your weight” and “if you eat an orange instead of a Snickers, you will not be overweight”. The first is true, the second not so much. I just find that a lot of people…

And yet it is still important to focus on the scientific community, as historically this has been a male-dominated field in which women have been derided, and forbidden from entering.

Sad but true. Essentially any place where men are the dominant power forces have hidden sexual abuse and harassment scandals because men get away with it. No male-dominated industry has escaped it.

I’m pretty sure the secret is to buy Jessica Simpson maternity clothes. That’s it, there’s fuck-all else, well, Target’s ok, too, I guess. It’s expensive, but the amount of shopping time this policy saves is ridiculous. I didn’t learn this until late in my pregnancy last time, but for my next pregnancy, I’m just going…

Thanks for answering! Why do you think female rivalry is more pronounced in U.S. cultures than in European cultures? (I mean
“why” as in “why philosophically” and also “why” as in “do you have any anecdotes to illustrate that because I would love to hear them.”)

You know, the attached picture is perfect, After all, Professor McGonagall did just as much if not more for Harry than Dumbledore, and McGonagall’s teaching style, while firm and strict, never used name-calling or making students feel stupid. And Harry named his children after Dumbledore and Snape.

I don’t think we even have the capability to make so-called children’s films that were as scary and somewhat trippy as 80's movies were (The Neverending Story, Goonies, The Dark Crystal, etc). As a wussy kid all of these movies gave me nightmares, but I wanted to watch them anyways. I don't think we have a…

I’m sure she needed the pressure from the boycott to make it happen. There’s a certain amount of consensus you need to get in an organization like this, she couldn’t just push things through. Good on her for seizing the moment that presented itself.

They were just using their black highlighters to point out all the most important stuff!

As someone who has worked with survivors of domestic violence and as someone who is below the poverty line (because I chose a career that works with survivors of domestic violence), these articles feel like such a heavy “should” that so many can't accomplish. I appreciate your acknowledgment that this is a pipe dream…

Never be entirely dependent on any one person or situation, ever.

Not that it matters too much, but do we even know that Weiner (or Clinton for that matter) cheated? I mean, it doesn’t seem weird to me at all that either pair could have open marriages, and obviously it would be far more damaging to both of them to admit they are non-monogamous than it is for the man to be thought of…

Can you imagine if Hillary had fucked a Black Lives Matter organizer or Eric Cantor? It’s unfuckingimagineable.

I just feel terrible for Huma. As someone who has had her share of bad boyfriends, her position - the higher-profile partner of a raging narcissist - just seems to authentically suck.

Well, to be fair, so was the guy who they’re all (supposed to be) trying to be like...

A good Christian has a moral responsibility to support Bernie Sanders, but most Christians in this country aren't particularly good Christians.
