What a horrific double whammy — an autoimmune disease AND cancer.

You’re forgetting about a place like South Korea. 20% of women there have plastic surgery, compared to 5% of women in the US. And that 20% number is rising, and even men get face-l…

I’m interested in the game but nowhere in the readme does it explain what the gameplay is.

This is horrifying and sad... and also can’t possibly be true for the general population.

Sweden or Germany?

I think most industries but elementary school teaching would fail this new Bechdel Test. Why don’t we first focus on getting EVERY movie to pass it? A majority of them don’t.

It really depends on where you live. Biking to work simply isn’t feasible in the LA area — it’s not like you can just hop onto the freeway. And the air isn’t exactly fresh either.

I know from personal experience that cannabis will make you extremely drowsy but completely eliminate dreaming, and that it will really mess up your short-term memory.

You’re forgetting that caffeine is a drug.

Middle-class, middle-aged people are pretty darn set in their ways. There's only so much "education" a middle-aged Republican will take, especially from the government.

The problem isn't the meat itself -- well-raised, well-nourished meat is perfectly good for you. The factory-farmed, antibiotic and hormone pumped, corn-fed animals that flood Amer…

And there I was thinking Svalbard was only a made up island for the Bear Kingdom in Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy...

Did you watch the video? It's rough.

I'm pretty sure my mother would rather die from her diabetes than eat a vegetable or give up her wine and chocolates. It's heartbreaking. And nothing I can do will change her diet.…

Exposure to pesticides via "pesticide drift".

What about when you forget that you're already on bottle number two?

I dunno... I cook every day. I'd love a little gadget I can attach to my jug of olive oil or my sack of rice that will automatically ping Amazon to send more. Of course it's easy e…

Quit my job to write novels and live off of that income.

Am I the only one for whom coffee has no effect whatsoever? It just makes me shaky, then tired.

I have “creepy” dreams or nightmares that ruin restful sleep. They are exceptionally vivid and nightmarish: horrifying scenarios involving people I love, painfully realistic doomsd…

Does your company not have any junior devs who are ready to step up?

As you clearly know, life is about balance. I'd say the ideal diet is mostly vegan, with exceptions made for very well-made cheese (in France), the occasional egg from a pastured h…

Not much of a surprise that (mostly) men like looking at pretty women talking about video games.

They need the ad dollars like everyone else.
