Even if he eats 2 burgers and an entire box of macaroni per meal, he still gets almost 2 meals for the price of 1 if he buys and prepares them himself (assuming that $5 burgers is a pack of 4 or more burgers). Does he seriously think that you just get one burger in the box or something?

"You're not in Kansas anymore" being synonymous with "Don't get comfortable, you're not home anymore". If that's the case, it tickles me how many people got so indignantly upset over a pop culture reference they didn't get.

My feed is currently blowing up with "Say no to Halal meat!". It's pretty hilarious because I work in the industry and all the people that have liked or posted a "Say no to Halal meat!" thing all work in Halal accredited meat works so they are directly benefiting from Halal meat. It's the most  thing ever.

Oh man. No screenshots cause mobile, but what do you even say when someone sharts "feminism had its place when women couldn't vote" onto the table? And then goes on to say about how feminism doesn't care about men raped by women, etc?

Can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Gonna have to accept that some of your friends are bad people  I've had to silently sever with a few people because I don't want to deal with their profound intellectual laziness and have my kids exposed to toxic dogwhistle bullshit before they're old enough to know better.

No matter how good your arguments get, they can always fall back on brick walls like "you're just brainwashed by the liberal media." There's no arguing with them because they have to be willing to critically examine their own ideas.

Woman posts how her daughter is moving out and then why. Comments are supportive, and she explains more of her situation, then someone comes in with a big bag of nothing to offer.  Speaking of cold replies, I forgot I saved this one.

Besides, having a cure doesn't mean that you don't have a vaccine. People would still continue to get cancer, and a legit cure for it would sell for approximately infinity money.

This is what my mom believes on cancer so it's great seeing good arguments against it. It's still sad that she doesn't think that they'd come out with a cure for a cancer if they had it because of Big Pharma wanting to keep making money. But I'm starting to think she might be going a little dumb about doctors in general now. She's got Fibromyalgia and recently went to an acupuncturist. Is acupuncture an actual legitimate thing? It hasn't been really helpful the last times she went either. RareAcumen has a new favorite as of 13:00 on Oct 27, 2014 |

It's been studied and most experiments have found insufficient evidence that acupuncture provides anything more than a short-lived placebo effect. Any evidence suggesting it is better than sham acupuncture (basically "fake" acupuncture used as a placebo/control in testing) is inconsistent at best.

While that's true, I wouldn't necessarily discourage your mum from getting acupuncture, if she can easily afford it. The placebo effect is a significant effect, sometimes have an average effect size of 0.4. So even if it's not an effect specific to acupuncture, it can still be clinically effective.

Especially with a diagnosis of FM. There really is no set cure or course of treatment for it so if something helps her, then it helps her.
