Right? If it’s not a scary, finger-pointing article about obesity, it’s a scary, finger-pointing article about using Ozempic to fight obesity.  Half the world shames me for being fat, and the other half shames me for using this drug to try to not be fat. At this point I would like everyone to just shut up about it…

This is the #1 worst Jezebel article of all time. The. Worst. This should be deleted immediately and the author should be embarrassed for having written it.

During the six hours this dipshit spent “instilling character” in his daughter by sitting around watching her try to figure out how to operate a manual can opener, he could have taught her how to use it, taught her how to use the stove, taught her how to cook a few basic foods, taught her the purpose of some standard…

I have a Ph.D. and I saw the writing on the wall about this issue about halfway through my graduate career. My thoughts about the merits of academia vs. industry were further cemented by the eye-opening experience of sitting on two search committees during the final stages of my dissertation. I went straight into a…

Turns out that elections DO have consequences...at least for some people. Not those who are privileged enough to smugly “vote their conscience”, but some people.

Just a little anecdote about that petition: I live in a progressive, well-educated Seattle neighborhood. Last week I was down at my local Trader Joe’s, and a signature gatherer was out front. I literally had to wait in line to sign it. He didn’t even have to solicit people - they saw him out front and made a beeline…

It’s absolutely bullshit how this city enables these people. I can’t imagine how I would feel if someone literally stole my dog off the leash in front of me in broad daylight and the police refused to do anything about it. That’s just horrifying. This is exactly the reason why the neighborhood town halls have been so…

I live in Seattle, and you are 100% correct. This article is misleading in a variety of ways about the causes and consequences of homelessness in Seattle, as well as the notion that Amazon/Bezos is solely stifling the head tax. Amazon/Bezos doesn’t want it, that’s true, but neither does a substantial portion of metro…

I got the same/similar horrible plague 4 weeks ago and am still coughing up crap. I also thought it was WAY worse than a normal cold - verging on flu-like incapacitation. It also went up into my eye (never had that happen before) and affected my vision for a couple of weeks and I had to spend $300 of my precious HSA…

Perfect response, and you’re right.

Fully agree. Thanks for saying this.

I basically agree. I don’t have anything in common with the kind of white women who would vote for a man like Roy Moore, and I think my time and energy would be better spent trying to help in ways other than convincing these people to stop being the way they are.

I was thinking the same, but about every poly man I ever dated. This is not a popular opinion in some circles, but I feel that poly is a lifestyle that attracts selfish assholes who use the philosophy as a tool and a weapon to manipulate others. Not a fan.

I’m not a fan, I think it’s poor sportsmanship, and I generally assume that anyone doing it is 13 years old and living in mom’s basement. I play Destiny and I don’t see it much, but was recently very happy to completely obliterate a Crucible opponent who was not paying attention because they were too busy teabagging…

A very good female friend did this to me after I opened up to her about having experienced domestic violence when I was younger. Everything I did and said from then on was colored by that admission in her eyes, to the point where I actually felt like she sometimes used it as a weapon when we had disagreements. Her…

The older I get, the more I feel like religion is just a bunch of ridiculous nonsense. It is beyond me why, in 2016, any independent, free-thinking adult would ever voluntarily subject themselves or their personal lives to the authority of a bunch of prudish, out-of-touch old men (because let’s face it - that…

The easiest lifehack for painting one’s nails is: paint them all the way to the edges without worrying too much about getting polish on the skin, let them dry completely, then take a shower. The soap and water will loosen the extra polish left on the skin and it will come off easily with a very light scrubbing,…

Here’s a Used-To-Be-From-The-Northeast-Now-A-Floridian’s perspective:

Floridian here. There is literally no body of water larger than a bathtub in central Florida that does not have an alligator in it, except for swimming pools, and even swimming pools will eventually acquire an alligator or two if left unattended for a while. It’s hard to fully understand until you live down here, but…

Recently, I had to come to terms with the fact that I was just simply going to lose a very good friend because of the demands of his parenthood. I did everything I could think of to be the one who compromised - always driving to meet him at his preferred location, always being the one to reach out first, scheduling at…
