Another fantastic and applicable NDT quote: "The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it."

My (former) hypertension is very well (too well managed) by my medicine. It drops my BP very low. I no longer worry about anything I eat. Anecdotal, I know. (Yes, I probably need a new dr. to look into this.)

Sometimes it's not bad the next day. Sometimes it's incredibly difficult. Especially since I drive by a Jack in the Box on the way to work!

Of course Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a liberal hoax. There's no way that a Black guy could ever become an accomplished scientist. MUST'VE. BEEN. AFFIRMATIVE. ACTION!!!!!!

Without "theoretical" gravity, it's WAY easier to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps!

Oh dear lord, these people need to be hit with textbooks. So my fave explanation is "weather is what you dress for, climate is what you build for"-they're related but different. Using weird weather events to disprove climate change is like saying your normally calm toddler is a psychopath 'cause they once threw their…

Grains and legumes aren't so healthy that not eating them would cause any issues - and a lot of people feel much better cutting out grains and legumes entirely, rather than just limiting them in amount and only to their unprocessed states, as you outlined.

I agree with it being a reasonable way to eat, but the "science" behind the name choice infuriates me. Call it the "don't eat processed food" diet and I would be totally behind it!

Besides, didn't we already cover the "Low fat is a scam" thing?

The way it was explained to me was that this sort of runway look isn't meant to be worn by anyone, ever. Instead, it's more of a collection of concepts that are seen by everyone, far and wide. Bits and pieces of these concepts stick in the minds of people who design and make clothes people actually wear and the ideas…

perfect Onion-esque headline!

A Venezuelan here. This kind of crimes are fairly common here, but this time the victim was a well known and beloved actress/ex Miss.

Sometimes it's about having a whacked out runway show, but a more sedate actual line when you get into the showroom. Also "Couture" is generally more about fashion as art, as opposed to "Ready to wear" which is what people will wear out of the house. However, looking at this, this is a serious WTF. Hard to make the…

Yes.

There are lots of people in jail that didn't break the law. Innocent until proven guilty is an ideal, but the reality is that, once you're in criminal "justice" pipeline, there are many factors biased toward keeping you there. I was once arrested for being in the vicinity of a fight between two strangers when I was…

I take flaxseed oil because I don't eat seafood. I'm sure it's not exactly the same thing but I'll take what I can!

The artisinal spring water was filtered from the finest municipal tap.

I haven't been able to find anyone who will work with a sliding scale fee with me, but with the new year I'm continuing my search. In response to the medication thing: I've tried so many things and they all resulted in me gaining so much weight that was so hard to get off, or made me more suicidal (Zoloft and…

I was shocked too! They're size 18 (I just checked). I don't know about his regular stuff but his Target line from back in the day represented.
