IQ is a flawed construct. I need someone who cares about art, culture, and science. As long as he or she can keep up and present interesting thoughts, I don't really care what score they were assigned on one or more of several tests so biased they might as well be arbitrary.

Dear punkisdead83, I'll never regret the time we spent together, but I agree, it is time for us both to move on. I've been feeling really constricted, almost claustrophobic, from the tight belt you've brought into our relationship. I know the belt was supposed to cinch things, to make them better, but really, I've just…

Cool. Why don't you fill out your profile, and tell us a little about yourself? Aside from weight loss, what are your interests? Do you think it's better to keep a positive attitude to combat negative thoughts, or do you use a darker sense of humor to deal with difficult situations?

I am stealing this phrase. As far as heartbreak, I rationalize everything. If he/she/it were good for me, he/she/it would care about me and still want to be in a relationship with me. He/she/it no longer wants to be in a relationship with me, therefore he/she/it is no good for me. If he/she/it is no good for me, I do not…

Also, when you have it open, look on the bottom and inside the battery compartment for some sort of reset or tare button.

Degeneracy is an overstatement. I don't know about the dog thing, but the rest of it seems like normal, healthy behaviour. Oh, I'll throw in 5 more of my own: 1. I work with robots. (not as cool as you think) 2. I have a dog named Tagatha P. Stinkelstein 3. My longest-lasting adult relationship with a non-family member is…

You're thinking about it all wrong; this isn't bullsh*t, it's performance art. Like Andy Kaufman, or Wendy O. Williams, or Westboro Baptist Church.

And you, Sir and/or Madam, how dare you suggest that something I read once on the internet is not factual!

"Easy Ways to Lose Weight" I came expecting helpful tips like "Shed weight quickly by having unnecessary body parts removed! You can lose over a pound in just the amount of time it take to have your spleen, wisdom teeth, appendix, and extra kidney removed! (Bonus tip: You may be able to sell the kidney on the black market…

1. Love science 2. Love computers 3. Love computer science 4. Love learning 5. Not enjoying grad school so much

As a pb&j addict: If I just buy regular (not sugar-free or high fibre or all-fruit) jam, and regular peanut butter (not reduced fat or all-natural or organic) a serving of peanut butter, 2Tbsp, has about 3 times the calories of a serving of jam, 1 Tbsp. However, the peanut butter may have some redeeming nutritional…

Thank you. We will be submitting our findings for publication in the Fall 2013 issue of Bootynomics Review, which is, as I'm sure everyone knows, the most prestigious journal in the disciplines of tushology and tushonomy. I will make sure to post our abstract, as well as our publication status, in future forums posts. p.s.…

After both computer analysis and evaluation by an expert (Sir Mix-a-Lot, Ph. D. is not only a member of the peerage, but an internationally renowned expert in both tushology and tushonomy,) consensus was reached, and it was determined that the apparent size of your tush was unaffected by any of the tested hosiery options*,…

Pain is an excellent teacher, and the universe is not a friendly place. Learning to be cautious is almost as important as having two eyes. Protect your children as you wish, but understand that you do neither them nor the world any favors if you rear an idiot who cannot find his or her *kitten* with both hands and expects…

When I was married to my ex-husband, I was "the handy one", but my current partner is just as handy as I am, although we both have our own domains. I do plumbing and rough construction, but her skills far exceed mine at things like painting, finish carpentry, and flat-pack assembly. I've never known anyone else I could…

How dare you flaunt your awesomeness, and then exclude a bunch of us from ever personally experiencing said awesomeness, on the basis of identity status? If you weren't so awesome, I would suspect you of bigotry. You look like your feet probably smell bad.

Said lots of people, plenty of times. I will leave determining whether or not it was a good idea to say as an exercise for the reader.

Fixed that for you. Don' be ridiculous. Of course it does.

I kinda think this is part of the problem, though. People feel pressured to conform to standards of beauty, and make choices like a cheap, high-maintenance weave that limits their activities, because they cannot afford a sturdier and more expensive styling option that still meets the beauty standard. I see two real…

Not everything on the internet is true. If you do not have a reliable source for a piece of information found on the internet, it is probably better (both for your personal outcome and your likelihood of being correct,) to assume that the "information" is false.

My girlfriend and I LOVE Real Techniques brushes; I cannot recommend them highly enough. For me they are the perfect balance of affordable and quality. I also love Dr. Jart's BB Creme. My girlfriend got a sample of the Dr. Jart's in a --box (glossy? birch? loose button?) and I haven't even bothered with my MAC Face and…

Healthy foods may or may not be more expensive than unhealthy food, but where I have lived (OH and TN,) healthy food has been more expensive at Walmart than healthy food at Kroger, Meijer, FoodTown, etc. In my experience, once I wanted to start eating real food, I stopped shopping at Walmart.

I agree with the substance of this, but I object to the arrogance in assuming that her reasoning is "bull**** excuses". This woman's choices are her own, and she has every right to make whatever choices she wants. She also has the right to make any response she wants to deflect invasive and paternalistic "advice".

I'm not sure why people feel the need to interfere in others' lives like this. Unless your friend is remarkably stupid, she knows her lifestyle is unhealthy, or is actively working on ignoring that her lifestyle is unhealthy. It is folly to judge the utility of someone else's choices. Unless they ask for help, don't offer…

This man, his family, and his ex all sound like a big ball of crazy. If I were you I would consider myself lucky that nothing was official yet, and just sever.

Yes. I mean, for me, it has made a huge difference. If it is getting on towards midnight, and I see I haven't made my step/stair goals, I will fit in a walk to see that I do. At my fitness level, this has been hugely beneficial. If you are all hard, maybe an HRM would suit you better, but I am not there yet.

Yep, it sure does. No argument here.

I love you, even if God doesn't.

That's just a scare tactic. Don't let him frighten you into giving up wine.
