It seemed to me more like they were saying they had some other unspecified information that was as scandalous as Cosby, although to be fair it's hard to see what that could possibly be

My friend went to one and came back with a $50 bottle of "ancient sea minerals"

"Skyrim too fun... can't eat nachos..."

You have to tap on the water with a spoon a bunch of times first. This is very important because of quantum mechanics.

No. No! "Pajamas make you feel good by emitting negative ions" isn't an okay thing to say just because pajamas do in fact make you feel good. Don't let the terrorists win.

Maybe he's just *really* worried about global warming

To be fair people might do that if removing hands was painless and instantly reversible

maybe they had it specifically for this purpose

Um, unless you're arguing that getting pregnant at 14 is actually a good idea it's hard to see how this is relevant

It's called a bowling shirt

Yeah I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that the book paints such behaviour in a negative light. Like when Stephen King wrote a book about a clown killing a bunch of teenagers, he probably did not mean that people ought to be doing this.

I mean, yes I guess that would be hypocritical, but also I feel like the intersection of those two groups is pretty small...

" half the time Jezebel will be all skeptical and suggest the study must be using sexist methodology or working from sexist assumptions?"

'Did they control for income?' is also a favourite

Oh my God are you serious you can't be serious

The ones about weight loss also tend to be a hoot

You're conflating caring with empathy. The definition of caring is caring about others, yes, but that's a different thing from literally feeling their feelings, which is what the study was talking about.

I think it's possible to be caring without *actually feeling* the same emotions as someone else? Like if a friend of mine's mom died or something, of course I'd be there for them, let them cry on my shoulder, etc, but I wouldn't actually grieve myself necessarily.
