It is a-fucking-stounding how many otherwise intelligent, well-educated people will swallow fad bullshit cures like a cat swallows sardines. In the case of parents of autistic children, I understand their desperation, but as you yourself pointed out, there's a hell of an inconsistency. And let's forget the…

Why is there no way to flag spam here?`

I will only say this:

Oh, you were an independent contractor so you feel their pain huh? Did you job tell you how to wash your dick, balls, and the crack of your ass? Did you job require you to do 30 UNPAID appearances? Did you job make you do those 30 unpaid appearances, 3 different camps for girls in 3 different cities, golf tournaments,…

I'm with you that gassing on the Internet is not taking action. But I see (presumably) guys chortling all the time "Cross-post this on Jezebel! Let's watch them scream!" As if commenters on Deadspin don't gas and get worked up over stuff. As if commenters at Kotaku don't get into fights. As if lots and lots of web…

This might be one of the most irresponsible blogs I've ever read. Bandits are a Boston Marathon tradition. Thousands run bandit every year because they're just regular people with jobs who don't have the time to train to run a sub 3 hour marathon. I've run Boston 3 times as a bandit, but my time of 3:20 doesn't come…

Yes, because without a detailed rulebook that helpfully explains how to wash your vagina and avoid "strong opinions" (mouthy chicks are such a drag!) dem bitches just irrationally explode over the most trivial things, like being told it's not okay to think or speak, jumping up and down in front of old men without pay,…

"That guy has been staring at me for three hours and won't help me up."

This is exactly it. This. I don't actually care that I am the least "performant" of anybody in my "fitbit circle" (or whatever it is).

I sit at my desk, at home, for my job. I have a family. I don't have a tremendous amount of free time to just "exercise" (nor do I have many opportunities to even get up and walk). …

Counterpoint:

"Childlike people unable to appreciate the inherent value of sweat, pain, or strength wear the Fitbit as they work out"

The Sphex wasps don't always do what the article claims they do, read the attached study. As such, the meme of the "sphex loop" is based upon a concept which has been disproved, yet it's been dogmatically yalped about since the early 20th century.

Eeeh. I'm not a fan of religion in general, but I can't argue that it hasn't been fantastic for human survival. It helped build community, order, and cooperation in early societies and killing others over religion is a great way for leaders to fulfill actual needs — territory acquisition, mostly — without having to…

Evolution is no race to perfection, but to survival/reproduction. If a glitch gives a population less chances to survive, eventually, with time, if have a genetic origin, could dissapear. Moths going towards a light (even if is fire) could have better chances to survive than those than not, or the occurrence of that…

Aside from trolling, why is spirituality a harmful glitch? I'm sorta annoyed with myself for responding to this post. I can ignore most dickish behavior on this site but, for some reason, I cannot ignore yours.
Spirituality in and of itself isn't a harmful glitch, the rules and consequences that humans have ascribed…

Squirrels have the instinct to zig-zag when chased. Which might be great if a hawk is chasing you, but not so useful if it is a buick.

Yeah, but you posted a picture of someone meditating, not praying. Taking control of one's brain is not a glitch.

Are you sure it isn't the experimenter that's sphexish?
