Coming here to say the same thing. Nearly tw0-thirds of the US economy is based on finance - fake money made from thin air.

Stop eating while in front of a screen (TV, phone, laptop, etc). It's been shown that the screen stimulation distracts from the physiological memory of eating, which is crucial to the psychological and physical sense of being 'full'. Basically, when you eat and surf the web, your body doesn't really register that it's…

I was working in the same offices with Anita at the time. It was tragic until it was hilarious.

I was working in the same offices as Anita (yes, it's like that) when Justice Thomas' wife lost her goddamn mind and began calling her, leaving psycho voicemails. I'm not gonna say that she played them for a few people after calling the authorities, but I'm not gonna say she didn't, and that it wasn't both tragic and…

Eh, I don't know what schools you attend/teach at, but in my competitive grad programs, missing a single day of class pretty much means you've dropped out unless you have a well documented excuse.

For all the commenters talking about the things that their significant others do that makes them swoon: not applicable.

The question a lot of people are asking themselves is: Given a very small and finite amount of time in the day, why would you want to spend time with a platonic friend when you could be spending your time having amazing sex with and awesome friend? And because any time you spend with a platonic friend is limiting the…

The point is, most of us would rather spend our time hanging out with people we were a) friends with, and b) sleeping with. Given that we only have a limited number of non-work hours in the day, it seems normal that we'd rather have the friend/sex time than just the 'friend' time.

Though I'm not someone who has done this to another woman, I can admit that I don't pursue friendships with women I find attractive. I have an insane schedule that leaves me very little time, and so I'm not interested in making 'friends' with attractive women - because I'd rather spend my time with an attractive woman…

Yet the desire remains, anchoring the origins of said vengeance rooted in a certain reality.

Oxford English (motherf*cking) Dictionary! I'll have my revenge!

I am certainly no TAXONOMIST. How dare you.

Only love between WA and OR. We Seattleites love our peoples from Portland and Olympia. And we are bemused by the weird hippy stuff that Eugene comes up with. And hey, Spokane, we see you trying. But we can all agree that the eastern portions of our states are generally (with some exceptions) geological, social,…

But if he was just a service worker at a burger stand with a paper hat, ladies wouldn't give him a second glance.

It's funny because an estimated 2/3 of US chocolate is sourced from areas that enslave women and children for cocoa harvesting.

Given that an estimated 2/3 of all chocolate sold in the US is sourced from child- and female-enslavement, yeah, I'd bet on it. Chocolate is often reported as being more unethically sourced than diamonds - it's really a horrible thing to spend money supporting the industry.

It seems to me like Miracle was adding to the conversation by commenting on the relatively frequent dismissal or mistreatment of scientific studies when the results do not conform to a certain world view or socio-political agenda. And the frustration you heard in the comment is felt by many of us who experience the…

The AMA and the DSM-V list the trans condition as an incongruity between the physical reality of a person's biological gender at birth, and the psychological basis of self-identification that refuses to accept this reality. They further note that an operation is recommended only when the person's psychological…

You're conflating 'gender identification' and 'sexuality/orientation'.

How are these two women a departure from 'sexy' or 'natural'? Given their profession, they seem to be most representative of both these terms, and from what I gather, have not had any 'work' done re. body modification.
