What is antisocial personality disorder? Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), also known as sociopathy, involves a persistent pattern of callousness toward others and a disregard for social norms and laws. People with this disorder are sometimes called sociopaths. Depending on the severity of the disorder, people with ASPD tend to have difficulty exhibiting empathy or caring about others. A weak conscience or moral compass allows them to deceive and manipulate those around them. They can also be hostile and impulsive, and they may not feel remorse for their actions. People with ASPD are prone to self-destructive acts and may experience frequent…
If you want to lose weight, there seems to be only one way to do it: find a tolerable, nutritious diet that will allow you to cut your calorie consumption over the long term—and stick with it. [1] There’s no magic macronutrient or food group everyone can avoid or over-consume to reach their weight-loss goals. I was reminded of this after reading recent coverage of an unpublished meta-analysis showing that vegan diets may help type-2 diabetics lose weight and reduce their blood sugar levels. There’s little information about the research available for now, though we can glean some of the…

Step into the passenger seat of Ryan Blaney and he’ll show you what kind of athlete a NASCAR superstar is. Despite his consistent top-10 finishes in the end-of-season standings, Blaney still occasionally gets hit with the stereotypical car racing cliches that plague the high-speed motorsport— mainly that racing is nothing more than sitting and steering. When he gets the chance to allow a sports star counterpart to ride shotgun with him, by the time the speedometer reaches 200 mph—in temperatures that can reach as high as 140 degrees—chances are they’re guaranteed to tap out long before Blaney considers tapping the…
Are you looking to slim down but don’t have the time, energy, or ability to exercise? If so, you’re not alone. In a recent poll conducted by ARRIS Composites, 65{1293bd4ef25ca86a622f6d9512ec3310653175851a143bae989351f0db04aea4} of U.S. adults want to lose weight this year. And not by a few pounds, either. The average weight loss goal among the 1,000 Americans polled was 29 pounds. However, while exercise is critical for healthy weight management and overall fitness, regularly hitting the gym isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. That’s perfectly understandable, which is why we’re here with 15 ways to lose weight without exercise. (And yes—it is possible!)…
Spring has sprung and if you’ve always suspected that weight loss is easier in warmer weather, you might be on to something. In a study of nearly 600 adults, published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, daily calorie consumption was higher by almost 90 calories per day during the fall compared to the spring. These findings echo those from a 1991 University of Georgia study, which found that participants ate about 200 more calories per day in autumn.According to the Institute of Medicine, researchers hypothesize that because bodily functions like digestion generate heat, the body must work extra hard…
The Supreme Court extended a pause on a Texas court ruling that sought to limit access to the abortion pill on Wednesday, pushing the decision to 11:59pm on Friday, April 21, per the The New York Times.A federal district court in Texas recently invalidated the Food and Drug Administration’s approval of the pill, per The New York Times. In response, the Biden administration appealed that ruling at another federal district court, and a panel there said the drug, mifepristone, could remain legal as the lawsuit goes through the courts. Conflicting district court orders and the appeal panel’s decision mean the…
When I was in college, I went off to the mountains for a weekend of hiking with an older, wiser friend of twenty-two. After setting up our tent, we sat by a stream, watching the water swirl around rocks, talking about our lives. At one point she described how she was learning to be “her own best friend.” A wave of sadness came over me, and I broke down sobbing. I was the furthest thing from my own best friend. I was continually harassed by an inner judge who was merciless, nit-picking, demanding, always on the job. My guiding assumption…

The following story contains spoilers for Ari Aster’s new A24 film, Beau Is Afraid. ARE SEX scenes, in films and on television, “unnecessary”? That’s a topic that’s come up quite frequently in recent months, in places that range from random Tweets that catch Twitter’s collected attention, to essays on Vanity Fair, and even as far as the mouth of one Quentin Tarantino (the Pulp Fiction director said that “Sex is not part of [his] vision of cinema” and that “It’s a pain to shoot sex scenes”). Just as that ongoing discourse continues to ongo, however, Ari Aster—director of Hereditary and…
