Something, something, BONER! Amirite ladies?

I think you're right. But the study this article describes sounds like it (quite rightly) used the same images, but told the participants different prices for the watches.

I wish every school kid (and every adult) was taught critical thinking somewhere in the formal education system. The bereaved mother is making the "post hoc, ergo propter hoc" fallacy - ie "after, therefore because of". Her daughter died after the vaccine, therefore she assumes she died because of the vaccine.
We had a…

I think we probably agree with each other. A person has worth and should be treated decently even if they look awful and even if they look awful because they are unhealthy and even if they know how to and have the ability to change their lifestyle but choose not to. I fit into this category (well actually I have a…

I don't know - I guess you are right. But I can tell that I'm from a country with free tertiary healthcare and there are no Catholic hospitals. There are private ones where you can avoid waiting lists for elective surgeries, but for an emergency thing like this? There is no market for this kind of bullcrap. Another…

"None of you penises are getting a raise out of me this year"

I loved the Grinchy reference so much, I parodied it in another post. I think as a Seuss fan, you will approve.

Many men down in Manville liked wimmin a lot
But the MRAs down there in Manville did not
Those men hated women - accused them of teasin'
Now please don't ask me why. No one quite knows the reason
It could be their mums didn't raise them quite right
It could be the fact that we're "frigid" and "tight"
But I think that the…

We don't get SNL in NZ, sadly. It sounds like my cup of tea.

In my family it's Linda. If anyone unintentionally performs an act of physical comedy (accidentally walking into a table corner groin-first or something equally hilarious) they are met with jeers of "good one Linda".

I can't tell if she is as dumb as a bag of hammers or a total genius. I really, really want to believe this was an excellent parody piece.

You just lost me. The "I love myself regardless of my size" mentality is thinking some variation of "I have good qualities and am worthy of love and respect". I'm not sure why someone shouldn't feel that because of how they look EVEN IF they look how they look because they have some unhealthy habits.
I rarely exercise.…

"goddamn it Jan" is somehow the funniest thing I have read today.

And yet every time I try to type "Love" it ends up saying "Lube".
How do you explain that?

Wow, that article about this reporter seriously makes me doubt this story.
Someone ungrey this informed comment!

The one thing I find a little disturbing is that he presumably wasn't the only person who died in that car - and yet I haven't even seen a mention of the driver. I really feel for that person's family. They have just lost someone AND are being inundated with news of the important person in the car for whose death…

I've been there! The advice I try to follow on procrastination is to DO THE WORST FIRST. Wake up. Make coffee. Hit that shit for an hour or so.
The other advice (potentially contradicting the first piece) is to think about when in your day you feel the most mentally focused and schedule your thesis time in there.

"Lining up to be raped" is an oxymoron.
And so are you.

I just wish most of the women and some of the men had worn half as much foundation. At a certain point a person starts to look like she is covered in rubber rather than skin.

I have friends who had one of our most distinguished actors officiate at their wedding (she is in her 80s now). They had her open they ceremony with that wedding speech. She was old enough to have missed the movie and didn't recognize what she was saying and just said it seriously in her very-posh-trained-stage-actor…
