Dreadlocks have appeared in cultures as diverse as Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, Greco-Roman, African, and all the Abrahamic religions.

Shaming this girl was wrong, but pretending that this hair style is the sole domain of a single culture is absolutely historically false on every level, and we should not have to resort…

Nintendo murdering its Mario Maker community in its infancy is a fascinating thing to watch happen in real-time. Nothing new for the company that has routinely cut off its nose to spite its face through the years, of course, but it’s usually happened in a more low-key, behind-the-scenes way.

One of the most interesting…

As a current GE judge for marching bands, I can tell you with absolute certainty that this is still going on.

I, however, am never as easily impressed.

It will never cease to amaze me when people choose to go to *private* *religious* colleges and universities and then are suddenly shocked that they can’t do certain things there.

Like, I’m all for freedom of the press and whatnot, but a private institution cannot violate the first amendment because it doesn’t apply to…

Can they get a better name than “Fifth Harmony”? Which doesn’t even really work well as a musical pun?

Absolutely. Please do. We have got to wake some people up to realities.

It comes down to this, really:

Sanders is a better liberal, and it isn’t close.

Hillary is a better politician and much more qualified to deal with day-to-day presidential issues.

Ideologically, I like Bernie a hell of a lot more than I like Hillary, who I feel isn’t liberal enough.

But I also want someone running the…

Integrative Medicine is quackery with a shiny new name:

If you’re familiar with it, then its all rather self-explanatory from there.

*Everything* started “natural”. Outside of various compounds we concocted in labs and even then it came out of natural chemicals.

People like you are exactly why we have anti-vaxxers now.

I will never, ever apologize for attacking pseudo-scientific bullshit because I’ve watched people die as a direct result. Anything with an ounce of actual medical use should be double-blind tested, studied thoroughly in falsifiable lab conditions, and…

Yes, for example, Aspirin is made from the bark of a willow tree.

You know how it became medicine? Trials, studies, published, peer-reviewed articles and the like.

“Herbal Medicine” that is found to actually work is called “Medicine”.

Are you a Naturopathic Practitioner?

You deal in bullshit.

Are you a Homeopathic “Doctor”?

You deal in bullshit.

Are you a Chiropractor?

You at least can give a massage.

I’m actually shocked in this instance that their Naturopath suddenly realized that they were not at all qualified to treat their child and covered their…

“(due to placebo effects alone, if nothing else)“

It is literally nothing else. Nothing.

This is such a useful paragraph:

There is no such thing as “complementary medicine”. There is Medicine and there is Bullshit. If “complementary medicine” had any basis at all in scientific fact, it would be called “medicine”.Full Stop.

Being regulated and licensed doesn’t mean anything. I can go online and get a…

There is no such thing as “complementary medicine”. There is Medicine and there is Bullshit. If “complementary medicine” had any basis at all in scientific fact, it would be called “medicine”.

So, no, Naturopaths remain snake oil salesmen of the highest order.

Bullshit. Put a cheerleader on sabre and tell them to toss a 7 and watch them cower with fear as it comes spinning back towards them.

Because GE judges fucking love it when you bring out the massive swing flags at the climax of the ballad movement.

I mean, alright, it just means I won’t be playing your game until the port is released which, that’s fine.

This...reads like a pretty standard shot across the bow from a competitor product, to be honest.

I wonder what the Venn diagram looks like that includes Trump supporters and Gamer-Gate goons. This is a VERY familiar MO is what I’m saying.
