Some of the advice that you are going to get will be from people who tell you to just suck it up, to focus, to pull up your socks. Some will be from people who "cured" their depression with their Christlike will, their workout routine, or Noni Juice. These are complete fucktards. Let me shield you from them. I…

I thought this article was going to have answers... :((((

Perfectionism kills romance.While many of us are trained to be detail-oriented and strive for perfection at work, Jim Bob says bringing that attitude home can be a relationship-killer. Withholding praise makes your loved ones lose that loving feeling. "Expectations ruin relationships," Jim Bob warns.

I addressed that in the article. I've specifically tried to raise the voices of people from the trans* community where possible, and lamented that I don't have ways of knowing how to do more yet, due to technology restrictions. (Except of course in cases where a trans* person chooses to not have that be part of their…

He does television arguably better than most people on it.

From the quote given it seems that he sensed he either needed to start lying or it was going to be a big expose when someone started poking around since it sounds like he has not hidden it. So instead he chose to make his own statement on his own terms rather than waiting for someone to do it for him.

Mark, this is a wonderful essay, and I'm glad someone wrote it. I especially appreciate your last paragraph. My sister died from her addictions a few months ago, and while I'm glad to see the increased conversation about addiction and relapse (though could really do without some of the harsh and judgmental comments…

I'm sorry, but sometimes elderly people can be horrible. They know you have to show them respect because of their age, and will absolutely abuse you because of it. I used to be in a line of work where I almost exclusively worked with elderly people. So many were behind sweet and kind, but those horrible racist ones…

Just because a chemical found in an edible thing that but also found in another inedible thing that doesn't mean we should freak out. Everything is chemicals. The amounts and how they are combined determine the freak out level you should apply to it. Science, it's your friend.

No. It's the direct result of the fact that EVERYTHING IS GODDAMN MADE OF CHEMICALS GODDAMNIT. Just because it has a name that sounds scary and science-y and is also used for other things doesn't necessarily make it bad. There's plenty of food products (wheat and corn and animal byproducts) that are also used in…

Damn right. My husband recently found out he doesn't have celiac disease (turned out to be a weird bacteria thing that is treatable) and it changed our lives. I made spanakopita for the first time in more than five years. People who put themselves through it when they don't have to are crazy.

But it's a CHEMICAL!!!!111 AHHH!!!!

But then how are we supposed to scare the shit out of people for profit (read: pageviews)?

Shh, don't tell them that many foods contain a chemical found in BRAKE ROTORS!!!!

You know what other chemical is used food and yoga mats?

People say this every time Jezebel posts an article like this, but this sort of fear-mongering, ignorant science writing is terrible, and you should really have someone who at least is somewhat interested in science to write science articles.

Everything you eat contains "chemicals" found in yoga mats. YOU contain "chemicals" found in yoga mats.
CSPI tends to be very reactive, and if even they aren't calling for the wholesale removal, then it's not a big deal. Europeans have ridiculous limitations on food ingredients, so something being "banned in Europe" is…

That's not entirely true - I think he has encouraged the now-common practice of including bluetooth and aux ports in all new cars. Due to millions of people being sickened by the very thought of "radio" due to him.

Kind of, when the only ones being curbed are women's. Yes.
