If you eat 3000 calories worth of organic fair-trade locally-grown lettuce a day, you'll be just as obese as if you eat 3000 calories of genetically modified hydrogenated deep fried corn sugar beef. You will be malnourished and fat in both cases. There's not a magic chemical making people fat, it's the pervasive…

It's more like their own arbitrary label they arbitrarily decided to peel off and replace with a different arbitrary label in some arbitrarily determined cases and leave unlabeled in other arbitrarily determined cases. Psychology is more or less the study of faulty computer systems installed in meat puppets as far as…

But, when people than me enjoy success it's their good luck and when they fail it's their lack of ability and/or work ethic! Everyone but me deserves nothing!

Every married man I know has a rule from el wife about drinking. I've even had a co-habitating girlfriend who demanded I provide booze but not consume it. We fought a lot over dumb things when I was sober though, so I can't imagine the situation improved with some sauce in me.

I've never had a conversation with a "knowledgable" male employee of Best Buy, but almost every female employee I've ever talked to at least knew enough to help me with my actual purchase. I don't want to make any assumptions of what that means, but it's a shame all those male customers at your store missed out on a…

I will guess: The money and connections to successfully execute a defamation lawsuit, regardless of substance

As far as I can tell, "Woman reasoning" means "Caution", "Humility" and "Respect for others". Good almost every other time and place than a negotiation, and listening to "woman reasoning" has literally saved my life(from my own stupid) several times.

The breakdown there was saying "I really want to work for you". I have made this mistake more than once and it basically kills the negotiation dynamic because no matter what you say the employer feels like you want it more than maybe you want a few thousand dollars.

Make a rival to Godwin's law and be famous then

Not quite "in" the alloy, but close enough: http://www.docsmachine.com/tech/anod.html

I do not. I don't believe I have ever heard anyone refer to a third coming of Christ prior to this moment. I would consider the birth all the way through ascending to heaven post-ressurection to be coming number 1 and the judgement times coming number 2. Feel free to disagree.

I am firmly of the belief that you did not read the intent of my comment.

I would really like to believe that the second coming of Christ involves blaring techno beats.

There's a clear difference between "How can you be sure there's a flying spaghetti monster?" and "Admit that there is no flying spaghetti monster and that you are lying to yourself because you are illogical!". Item 1 engenders a reasoned debate and item 2 engenders a swift kick to the nuts.

Nor did I assert that you made such claims, I merely linked to a reminder that committing a fallacy does not prove anything about a position.

Adults don't have that right though. If an adult behaves in some of the manners for which I received a paddling as a child, they may well be assaulted by bystanders or any nearby police officers. I'm sure most adults know better than to behave like a 7 year old with an ASD, but if for whatever reason they don't, I…

I too have experienced a close call with what I assume was a rather concrete support structure as a result of "glomping". Usually it's only people I know and announced, but it was discouraged heavily this year at animazement as a direct result of some kid glomping too close to some stairs. As it turns out, glomping…

I mean, there was that one time a tank was stolen in San Diego...

Most doctors(that I know) work for hospitals, not private practice, with all the employee/employer responsibilities involved with that. And there's the responsibilities they assume with their medical license and malpractice/etc... insurance(s). And that whole oath thing.
