Lol good times with object permanence 

When a nurse testifies to the bullshittery going on:

“he had a distinct memory of being born, despite scientific evidence that fetuses do not experience consciousness.”

Confederate statues - “We need them! We need them as...uh...a constant reminder that slavery is bad! So we can learn from history or something!”

One of the funniest parts of Trump’s reign has been him watching try and intimidate and browbeat the leaders of other countries into doing what he wants, like they’re a bunch of employees or GOP sycophants.

I work for a Danish company and interact with my Danish peers daily.

This quote is from the NY Post, but I’m not linking to them:

Because it marks foods as ‘bad’. Look, I know it’s weird for those who didn’t struggle with growing up inundated on the ‘diet of the week’ as a kid and surrounded by that kind of thinking, but marking foods as ‘bad’ only leads to guilt and shame whenever you ‘cheat’ or ‘break the rules’ and have it.

It’s best to…

Honestly, the people who support this kind of thing disgust me, and I hope to the heavens they don’t have kids. Or if they do, they get their act together.

I was a kid who was put into weight watchers and no, it’s not good and it messed up my relationship with food for a long time. 

Weight is not in of itself a specific measure of health, only health is a measure of health; an overweight person with healthy organs can be healthier than a person in an in-range weight. They can be apples and oranges situations depending on so many factors like drinking, smoking, level of activity, dietary choices,…

The part where it reinforces value judgements about food against the advice of the American Pediatric Society and as discussed in the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs of this very article. 

Those are not remotely mutually-exclusive concepts. One person can be too underweight, another can be too overweight, both are unhealthy despite our culture saying one “looks” unhealthy while the other “looks” ideal. I’ve been both in my lifetime, while my girlfriend was morbidly anorexic for a time, people praised…

I’m not surprised by the comments but I want to know why people think its okay to be mentally unhealthy as long as you’re not fat. In the long term neither one is good for the individual or society. This app is particularly disturbing since WW makes a lot of money off the desire not to be fat. It is basically grooming…

They’re going to continue with buisness as usual, because Israel has donated to the campaigns of politicians on both sides of the aisle, and they are an ally in the oil rich Middle East. So not only does openly supporting Israel allow the individual candidate to court a huge Jewish voter base, it also allows our…

I signed the petition. That is some epic trolling and I am here for it. 

You forgot cheap speed (very possibly including cocaine), a diet composed mostly of gristle and sugar and deep-seated insecurity so rampant, he makes Charles Foster Kane seem like Keanu Reeves.

It means the mental capacity of the President of the United States, which was never that high to begin with, is diminishing daily due to a combination of age, stress, and very possibly dementia. And, that in spite of this fact which is on clear display for the world to see, approximately 40% of voters will support him…

SHOOT IT INTO MY VEINS!

Don’t do this, just don’t do this. Unless you are Panama, his wife or their children’s pediatrician don’t do this. This is a sweet story about the marvels of children, this is a father feeling that we might want to read about how his son is sweet, shy, likes different things (which toddlers often do), and has love for…

In my 20s me and my +1 crashed a wedding reception. We had gone to a different wedding that ended around 10pm. We went back to our hotel, where there was a different reception happening in the banquet room. We were already dressed for it, weren’t ready to call it a night, so we decided to give it a try. We stayed…
