Wow, everyone in the story is in the wrong. They were uppity and awful about the gift and then he called their marriage a sham.

Why is this so snarky? Are we accusing these people who perform these studies as "sleep shaming?"

I understand your point. For many people, a new fitness regime and a change of dietary habits can, in effect, cure obesity. But if a smoker gets lung cancer, a cessation of smoking won't cure it. Lung cancer is better compared to one of the less-reversible diseases associated with obesity (T2 diabetes, heart…

"the suggestion that obesity is not a disease but rather a consequence of a chosen lifestyle exemplified by overeating and/or inactivity is equivalent to suggesting that lung cancer is not a disease because it was brought about by individual choice to smoke cigarettes.”

Hm, their comparison to lung cancer is a bad one. Lung cancer is a disease. Obesity is a health risk that causes disease. If we called smoking a disease, that would be wrong. Cancer is what you get from smoking. Diabetes is what you get from obesity. A person's behavior causes obesity and a person's behavior can…

No, the closest she came to blaming the victim was when she said that it's unfortunate what happened to those boys and that the victim was "lucky" that it wasn't worse. Don't defend her. She offered pity to the rapists and cast blame on the victim.

Should a 16 year old be getting drunk? No. Is that at all relevant to…

Yup. This is so so so (so!) typical abuser-splaining. The statement itself makes no sense ("intense debate"/"playful tiff"/"tears+arguing"). The cognitive dissonance is mind boggling. It's dismissive, self-important, and embarrassingly difficult to believe (lots of abusers are unfortunately easy to believe, but that's…

Ugh, nailed it. I could hear my ex's voice as I read your translations.

If this entire post isn't proof that excessive plastic surgery is not a good look, then I don't know what is.

Coach!

Where's the hue and cry for men to keep their dicks in their pants if they don't want to be forced to be fathers, the way women are shamed day in and day out for daring to have sex?

Ever get the feeling we're deliberately being distracted from something?

I know it was largely tongue-in-cheek, but it seems odd to write an article bemoaning the broad generalizations faced by women who sleep with lots of people and then make broad generalizations about women who sleep with lots of people (even if they're positive.) Prudes can crack jokes and lend a sympathetic ear. Sluts…

I can't tell if these are satirical, since [save the first one] there's no actual data to back them up.... and some of them are ridiculous.

According to what this io9 article shows, the skin will be more pigmented. http://io9.com/no-this-is-not… so the people in the original photo were actually whiter. And apparently "pigmented" means "more orange."

Thosia Who Donate to Kickstarters Say Nosia to Zosia. "Dammit, Mamets!" says everyone.

Ehhh, there's a pretty memorable scene where two of the characters are going to split a plate of cheese fries, but then they both decide they want their own. "A" messes with their delivery orders not to make them feel uncomfortable eating, but to make them feel completely unsafe. I think they handle the fact that…

Okay. I am going to play devil's advocate here, and not just because I secretly love Pretty Little Liars.

This, exactly. Actors tend not to eat in scenes because it's a pain in the ass and it's usually not essential to a story line. Plus, this is an ominous show about a murder - when 90% of the scenes feature creepy music, of course there will be lunch/dinner/snacks scenes with creepy music in them. This seems like a big…

I've been pissed since October 26th, 2001.
