As long as the presentations are good, I wouldn't worry about it. This happens to me too. It's a strange moment in time where I just don't exist. It's not like I'm watching myself from a distance, I am just not aware of a self. Apparently, I give great presentations though. I just have to take their word for it.…

I sort of understand the history of hazing and the initiation rite that we humans seem so compelled to perform. As someone said below going through a similar ordeal or difficulty with other people does foster trust and forms bonds. However, it seems like the rituals should probably just stick to being symbolic or…

Is it just me, or are the black background, black floor and black clothes all contributing to the fact that I can't see a damn thing in any of those photos? Am I getting old and short sighted? Even when I expand the pics I can't see much in the way of details. A red carpet is red for a reason, people!

I have been known to use the dog's shampoo when I was out of the people stuff. Hartz Oatmeal Shampoo for Sensitive Skin. It smells pretty good, and I haven't had fleas since.

Ha ha. "Go full slattern" is awesome. "Oh God, look at her. She went full slattern" is something I will endeavor to insert into conversation at some point in the near future.

Jesus Christ. Good for that lovely therapist for keeping her "no judgement" face on as she looked over that hellishness. I would not have been able to do the same, even knowing that Mary is mentally ill.

It's great to see hard-core scholarly writing about science fiction. I'll definitely make sure that we get this at my university library.

One never wonders "what in heaven's name is Dolly Parton wearing." One just enjoys it.

They should probably watch The Man in the White Suit before they start marketing this stuff.

Yeah, they were definitely the most fun to watch. The boy, who has clearly cottoned on to the ruse, killing himself laughing was great to watch too. And the classic "I'll eat it!" was awesome.

You actually get TWO coupons because they give separate ones for French and English. No reason you can't use both, no matter where in Canada you live.

I've gotta say I'm a little bit in love with Neil DeGrasse Tyson. So charming! The 'stache! I enjoyed this immensely (or am enjoying it, I'll have to watch the second half later). Thanks so much for posting this io9!

A classic "hold my beer, I want to try something" moment.

The article makes the conclusion that childless women have poorer mental health because they're childless. I'm not sure there is enough evidence to support this. Poorer mental health and childlessness could be different results of the same root cause, or one could be contributing to the other in either direction. I…

A little bit off topic but as we're talking about America specifically, what the hell?

As the owner of a house that is less than 900sq feet I concur with all of this.

Wait. Hymen break to "I'm pregnant" in 7 minutes! Guess there's no point in drawing out the character development as everyone just wants to get to the gory birth, but jeez-louise.

Michael Fassbender reveals his....oh, hopes. Disappointed!

Yes, they do. I'm in Canada and have ordered from them in the past.

In my line of work I've come across articles that have more than 50 authors. (They were meta-analyses, so it's a bit different, but still, 50!). I find it hard to believe that all 50 individuals contributed significantly enough to get an author credit.
