There's nothing wrong with being fat! Stop fat shaming children and poor people, Michelle Obama.

Please, lead the way!

significant means not due to chance, i.e. error, but a significant finding might not be very important, i.e. might lack power (as I remember it from 1 semester of stats). I think it's like finding that a weight loss drug taken by 10,000 people decreases body weight of the individuals who take it compared to those who…

Makes me wonder about the inherent sexism in the questionnaire, right?

Dr . Twinge said she had all this data proving I was narcissist

I'm with you. The NYC people from my department seriously sniveled and argued and looked down their noses at you over varying nutritionists' versions of a kind of phosphate or something.

Damaged their evolutionary path? Someone said that to you?

You should really check your year long store ag-industrial privilege. Some people have to eat meat because it is the only thing that survives all year round and on the move.

Also since I'm being an asshole about things. You should really only eat free falls from plants to ensure you aren't diverting energy from nature…

See, with that, I'd point to Little House on the Prairie books. Their cows, which were about as close to wild as you could get, always produced enough milk for the calves as well as the family.

Technically, every animal that shares an environment with another animal 'damages the evolutionary path'. After all, they're either competing for resources or eating each other, for the most part.

That quote got me too. Does anyone else find it hilarious that Republicans are doing everything they can to restrict women's right to choose and then call out Democrats for always talking about it?

The idea that cultured meat produced in a lab will somehow be more environmentally sustainable than raising animals seems to me to show a complete lack of understanding about how life works on planet Earth. These cells will still need to "eat" to grow and will still produce waste. The problem with meat production…

I moved back in with my parents to help with my father's recovery following kidney surgery. Once he went back to work full time, so did I. Over half of my check from my minimum wage fast food job goes to our rent to keep a roof over my younger brothers' heads. My parents just filed for bankruptcy due to mounting…

I still live at home. I have a job and could probably afford to get an apartment, but my parents think renting is a waste of money. I pay "rent" to them and it helps out. I buy food, and contribute to other miscellaneous expenses. I know sometimes they really need what I bring in.

Yeah, the complete inability if some people to understand that everyone else's life and challenges are not EXACTLY the same as their own in these comments is staggering.

There's this fallacy a lot of people experience of "if I did it, everyone else can too, and if they don't it's their fault." People don't want to accept just how much of their lives is due to chance and circumstance because that implies they have less control than they think they do... can't have that.

I'm in the same situation. I finished college at the same time my parents split, so it worked out quite well that me living with my mother and paying her rent (not too much, but a good contribution) both allows me to work, pay off debt and save money AS WELL as helping her out financially in an unstable time until she…

Consumer spending drives something like 70% of our economic activity, so even if my generation eschewed so-called frivolous expenditures, the resulting decrease in economic activity would probably cause companies to try and conserve resources, which could very well damage our job prospects and consequently leave us…

While I'd like to join you in finger wagging at my generation (I'm a pretty old fashioned, no nonsense Young), when you're talking specifically about income + loan expenses + ability to pay rent, it really doesn't matter whether your proxy theoretical Millennial cuts back on so-called luxuries. Taking the example of…

Come on people, stories about your personal economic self-sufficiency are not particularly helpful. I graduated college with zero debt, too. Congratulations, us! We're awesome! We also didn't graduate into a global economic downturn, attended school approximately 17 tuition hikes ago, and aren't disproving basic…
