Probably not, but taking a good dump before you weigh will, so there's that.

Does squatting on the scale help you weigh less? Asking for a friend.

That was the reasoning behind a few laws that were passed in different states that basically decriminalized the act of "abandoning" your baby. (There were a lot of babies being found dead in really horrible places, because young or ill-prepared mothers were trying to 'hide' that they were pregnant and then abandoning…

But...by definition, police are supposed to protect and serve. What you call "good cop" stories are SUPPOSED to be the norm, because that is a police officer's goddamn job. Jezebel reports on stories like this because they're NEWS. A police officer that does something heartwarming beyond the call of her/his job is…

right?! i wish i knew. i continue to be shocked by the amount of resources that go into criminalizing the most mundane behaviors. the only thing more upsetting than the fact that this woman was arrested, is the risk that this woman actually loved "monster-in-law" so much, that she may have actually intentionally held…

When I worked at a video store we just kept a card on file. Why do all of this?

1) video store called this into the police 2) police decided a crime was committed 3) police took the time to go to a judge to get a warrant 4) judge, honest to god, actually issued said requested warrant (5) state's attorney chose to actually issue charges.

Mia's treatment of Soon-Yi is seriously disturbing and messed up. I didn't know that she said half those things about her daughter, but good grief, I can't even imagine how many levels of fucked up you have to be to say these kind of things in public. Shame on her. I hope she was a better mother to the rest.

Point in case: Oreos are vegan.

Amen. I'm so sick of no meat=healthy.

A vegan diet is not the same as a healthy diet. Also, it will not make you skinny if you over-eat and don't exercise. Plenty of vegans are unhealthy and/or overweight.

Please do not lump all mentally ill people together.

Castro is a complete piece of shit, but the death penalty should not even be on the table. There was no murder here. A fetus cannot be murdered, or we should go ahead and tell the pro-birthers that they have already won.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but you are completely wrong. Humid heat is much worse than dry heat. One basic issue you're missing: humans deal with heat by sweating, and the evaporation of that sweat is what actually cools the body down. When it is hot and there is no humidity in the air, sweat evaporates…

Former Southern Californian (yes, 110-120 degree summers aren't beyond me either), current New Yorker, here to tell you you have no idea what you're talking about.

I don't think you understand the concept of humidity, its not the moisture on our skin that causes us a problem, its the moisture in the air. The moisture that heats up and stays hot, like a sauna.

In your completely ignorant comment you actually managed to get a small oint correct, dry heat is nothing compared to the humidity we are getting right now, till you've had to deal with it, and I have, you should be quiet, and I've also experienced the desert over at Edwards AFB, and it's not the same at all
