Any diet that’s named after a process that occurs when normal people start going into starvation isn’t a healthy diet.

I think this perspective is misguided, for two reasons:

First, not talking about something “for the sake of avoiding tension/divisions” is just sweeping the problem under the rug. And much like a dust bunny, a social problem only gets larger the longer it’s ignored.

By discussing these aspects of games—or, really, of…

A couple of things to consider (this ended up being a longer post than I thought it would; I know, a long-winded Arnheim post—shocking):

1.) Most people don’t understand that argument—at least in the academic sense—is an intellectual exercise as often as it’s intended to actually shift a person’s perspective on a given…

And powdered wigs and makeup too.

Toxic masculinity should be re-labeled as FALSE masculinity because it ignores male customs throughout history, including those of wearing wigs and fancy clothes.

Why is a TV actor being a dumb, greedy asshole that hard to fathom? The last two years should put paid to the idea that someone is inherently intelligent and sophisticated because they’re on TV.

I went to an ex’s house party with the intention of banging him. He spent his time chasing after a 20 year old (he was in his mid 30's then) so I pout in a corner, drinking too much. Bumped into a tall, tattooed dude who leaned against the oven in the kitchen and accidentally turned on the gas. I saved everyone from…

I always end up in a much worse mood after exercising, regardless of how my workout went. It really amazes me that people say it lifts their mood so much. (But I realize I just seem to be an outlier here) 

Depression is SO HARD. It is SO MUCH WORK. It’s like everyone else is just jogging along on the treadmill in their cute little outfits, watching The Bachelor, and you’re running a marathon in mud up to your knees with shoes made of cement in the freezing cold pouring rain.

I assumed that, off camera, he just jumped out the window right after Tommen, in the kind of display of unmitigated loyalty and devotion for which cats are so well-known. to feast on his remains.

“I am terrified of these people,” said Porterfield

I have them organized by category (fiction, anthology, history, science, philosophy, feminist theory, horse care and training) then alphabetically by author. Some authors have special sections if I have a lot of stuff by them (e.g. Murakami).

Re: How Do You Organize Your Books?

Pratt seems like a Nice Guy, and it’s clear he has good intentions, but Evangelicals are The Worst. Following the doctrine* prevents you from being a genuinely good person 90% of the time.

Yes that maybe the only good to come from this. Most Americans don’t know that Colombia is 25% black or that is has the 3rd largest black population in “Latin America” after Brazil and Haiti (depending on how you define Haiti). Most Americans think all Colombians look like Italians.

Except that’s not how he phrased it, explained it, or anything, now is it. He didn’t say “I just lost my head. That’s not how I normally am. I must have just gone insane. But that was long ago. I learned alot about myself, and I’ve strived to be much better in life now and not see people of color as a single bloc of…

This is the dawning of the age of ambivalence.

Here was my family conversation today, husband was driving while I read the news on my phone:

Yeah, being a corrupt casino owner who puts his name on steaks is what REALLY prepares you to know what America needs. My two sons did national level debate all through high school. They knew some of those kids from Parkland (Douglas has a good debate program). I can guarantee you they have spent more time studying…
