Can you cite your sources on that? I have not seen anything (meaning: any peer-reviewed studies done by real scientists) that says self-harm is more common when self-harm is more publicized. Even if that is true, I can think of many more reasons than publicity that could contribute to a rise in self-harm: a rise in…

You don't seem to know much about depression. Nothing in that comic says those thoughts came because of something bad happening. Depression is characterized by negative, sad thoughts at inappropriate times (i.e. when you are surrounded by friends, in the park on a warm, sunny day or just when you have no reason to be…

Can you tell us about the basis of your belief that self-injury was "very very rare" before recent decades? I'm not aware of any statistical patterns of change, and to be frank, your claims seem more rooted in anecdotal experience than in a factual understanding of the issue.

I think you might be mistakenly assuming that people identify common experiences because they see those experiences in media, when in fact many mental illnesses tend to manifest themselves in specific, predictable ways. That's not to say that there aren't cultural influences that inform those experiences, but many…

Depression isn't a bad mood, though. Plenty of people who suffer from depression also experience normal bad moods during their lives. Depression is a mental illness, one that is diagnosed by medical professionals and requires treatment.

I agree with it being a reasonable way to eat, but the "science" behind the name choice infuriates me. Call it the "don't eat processed food" diet and I would be totally behind it!

That's the part that annoys me the most. Don't eat bread or nuts or whatever—I don't care, it's your body. But don't try to pretend you have a degree in Anthropology.

As far as I can tell, the entire Internet is on some form of the Paleo diet.

Do not get me started on the paleo diet having nothing to do with paleo diets.

Based on my highly scientific research (ie: Facebook), Paleo is still all the diet rage. No carbs! EAT LIKE A CAVE MAN, DAMNIT!

Omg don't tease.

What's super sad is that you know there are people out there who are like scoffing and saying shit like "Well, he's less of a man because he lets his woman beat him up! Pansy!"

Why hasn't he left her yet?!
(Typical, misogynist victim blaming)

Whoever that actress is in the first GIF, it's all downhill from here—how can you top vulnerable Idris for Moments That Matter?

No, I mean, don't even waste your time.

You've confused this with the story a few weeks back about the online form one college was providing (which had nothing to do with reports to the police, campus or other) and this story, in which people who are not anonymous who report violent assaults to the campus police will now have those reports passed on to the…

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.

Where was autism 100 years ago?

By request, I'm going to tell you guys about some of the science behind vaccinations/immunizations, why it's important to get them, and why "over-vaccination" isn't something that can occur. Many of you that support vaccinations may know some of this, but perhaps I can provide a little more "technical" insight into…
