This works pretty well for me. I set out to write a very bad short story once. My intent was make an iceberg-style story (only telling what was above the surface) but not actually have anything below the surface - that is to say, there was no intended symbolism.

It ended up being (or seeming) really deep and symbolic.…

I don’t have time to dig out the source... https://nutritionfacts.org/video/phytates-for-the-prevention-of-osteoporosis/

Phytate being an anti-nutrient has been debunked. Yes, it affects absorption if you don’t consume it regularly, but after about 2 weeks your body adapts and absorption rates come back up to normal. So, for people who eat whole plants every day, it’s not an issue.

Look, I don’t want to sound like the heartless person I am, but this is ACTUALLY a good thing. The WLM losers have outed themselves. They can no longer claim that they’re anything other than hateful racist scum.

I’m all for a person’s right to want ‘racial purity’ (whatever that means. Why, there isn’t a white person…

I can confidently say that all black people like watermelon and fried chicken. I KNOW I can confidently say this because EVERYONE likes watermelon and fried chicken!

Watermelon... it’s, like, the perfect food! It’s sweet, has nothing that can get stuck in your teeth, it’s easy to chew, it’s juicy but the juices are…

I’m not excusing his behavior because everyone has a right to not be touched if they don’t want to be (I’ve slugged people for less-intimate uninvited contact than alleged in the article), but the dude is 93 years old.

When he was coming of age, there were kissing booths at school. Fairs employed skirt blowers to lift…

When it all comes down to it, everyone is racist. Everyone has preconceptions about others based on their appearance (which can include things other than race) because that’s how the human brain works. We categorize things. This helps, for example, when we see a lion creeping up on us. We use our stereotype of lions…

“Captain Pedantic”
Commander, actually. 

The fault lies entirely on the tailgater. If that had been a legitimate brake rather than a brake check, the results would have been the same. The tailgater was following too closely (looks like less than a car length at highway speed?), overreacted, over-corrected and caused the accident completely.

So... parents aren’t concerned about cognition or over-all quality of life? Just suicide/murder? You don’t have to have CTE. ONE concussion can cause permanent brain damage, which can affect your ability to live the life you’re supposed to.

Why parents allow their children to bash their skulls into other people’s…

First hurricane in the area in 9 years. “LOOK! GLOBAL WARMING!”

You need to stop cherry picking data and remember the mantra “Weather isn’t climate”. From 1996 to 2005, there was an average of 8.2 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes per year, and the average ACE was 151.5. From 2006 to 2015, there was an average of…

I honestly don’t think I can legitimately answer that question. I don’t feel at all guilty when I eat garbage. I enjoy it and I don’t really care what the world thinks about my appearance. So it’s not like my self-esteem is taking a hit because of my eating habits.

I initially decided to go vegan to lose weight (I…

It’s very sad that people who abuse their bodies with things like meth and opioids are shunned and people who abuse their bodies with things like steroids are raised up on a pedestal.

People who do this kind of thing are mentally ill. You may see it as a constant push to improve, but it’s really just another aspect of…

Damn, she’s cute! Also, I could never be a girl. I mean, that looks relatively easy to do, but I get pissed when I actually have to do like... anything to my hair in the AM. #BaldIsBeautifulButImReallyJustLazy

On a more topical note, I didn’t know there were categories of hair! And would her hair naturally be all…

Maybe it’s just that history’s science is already filtered for us? If you look at nutritional studies specifically, there is so much corruption, bias and bad design, it’s enough to make you sick. If you look at the best of the best, absolutely the science is top-notch. But even the run-of-the-mill average study is…

One thing I struggled with since I was a teen was when I try to stretch my hamstrings, I had pain behind my knees before I ever got to stretching the muscle. Turned out to be a nerve constriction, so if you run into similar problems, do a google search for ‘nerve flossing’... I know, stupid name, but it works really…

Doh! Missed that. I read that it had the same calories... and that’s it.

That’s what’s wrong with ‘science’ today! People can’t read!

NINE people over FIVE days? Why even bother??? And unless the placebo had the same macronutrients, the study is worthless. If you give someone a drink with fiber in it and one without, OF COURSE the one with the fiber will feel more sated. Has nothing to do with walnuts.

This is what’s wrong with ‘science’ today.

Come on, Beth. Rice is very different from quinoa because quinoa tastes like someone forgot to clean up after the dog before mowing the lawn.

So it’s you’re either with us or against us, now? After a rally where tribal hatred got a woman killed, you want to double down on the tribalism? Do you only see in terms of us and them? Can’t you see that’s the root of the problem?
