"Um, yeah, anyone with experience with eating disorders will recognize that as a typical pattern of food restriction and binge eating."

I live with a recovering alcoholic. I do a fair amount of drinking myself and when she came out about her condition I told her I wouldn't drink in front of her if she was at all uncomfortable with it. She told me that recovery isn't about structuring your life to be free of temptation, it's about confronting the…

"Think about it; is a 18-35 year old male that never played a Kirby game going to be more willing to pick up a box that has an amorphous pink blob on it, or a box with a marine casually walking away from a giant explosion? "
