posting to reiterate how gross it is to perpetuate the negative stigma associated with mental health issues. maybe i'm overly sensitive, but that one was a little too far.

this argument is a great example of the "poor analogy" logical flaw. might fit the straw man, too.

wow, i really want to ask if you have more stories, but i know about this thing called doctor-patient confidentiality...

exactly this. i love ya doug, but COMMAS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD PLEASE

I respectfully disagree with that statement. Service strikes are sometimes more effective than the traditional "we-refuse-to-report-for-work"-type of strike, such as when the later would inflict financial repercussions that render the employer legitimately unable to meet their workers' demands (in extreme cases,…

...I think that's the point? If you are taking a lot of prescription medications, you probably do have (serious, legitimate, treatment-worthy) problems. Judgmental statements like yours are why some people don't seek treatment for their medical issues; you are (hopefully inadvertently) perpetuating a negative stigma…

As a big fan of the comics, I have to say that I love, love, LOVE Kirkman's adaptation of his story for television. I knew going in that there were many things in the comic too gruesome or disturbing to depict on television, such as the graphic violence between Michonne and the Governor.

I am extremely skeptical of this study and Jezebel's unfortunately inaccurate coverage of it - seriously, if you don't know how to accurately interpret data, please don't attempt to write about it.

It basically uses a bunch of (potentially dangerous?) chemicals to make your hair lie flat for a few weeks. Results seem to vary by salon as well as natural hair type, and the service costs a very…

Completely, totally, 100% agree. Notice that if a lady were to leave the house bare-legged and noticeably unshaven, the majority of men would likely reject any advances from her. BUT if you go home with a dude and warn him that you haven't shaven in a while as the clothes are about to come off, he couldn't give two…

Oof, as someone who has recently dealt with an addiction to prescription amphetamines, I can say that behavior sounds EXACTLY like someone doing entirely too much speed. I never touched meth, but I am a female only a couple years younger than Brit, and I totally exhibited those exact same destructive habits/delusional…

I respect your opinion and at one point even shared the viewpoint that the "typical" woman is not physically capable of the demands combat entails. However, my younger sister is in the National Guard and can absolutely do everything the males can physically, sometimes better, the little beast. I think the opinion…
