A study into whether physical activity alleviates the symptoms of depression has found there is no benefit.
Research published in the British Medical Journal suggests that adding a physical activity intervention to usual care did not reduce symptoms of depression more than usual care alone.
This contrasts with current clinical guidance which recommends exercise to help those suffering from the mental illness, which affects one in six adults in Britain at any one time.
I thought this was true and all - fuck yeah, randomised controlled trials!
I don’t know how reliable or accurate his is, but while exercise may help the occasional blues I highly doubt exercise helps diagnosed depression. When you’re severely depressed in the first place, who’s going to get up and exercise anyway?
I don’t know how I feel about this study, all I know is that this site is a massive fucking circlejerk that constantly tries to reaffirm its own shitty views on life. You know what else has been studied shown not to help depression as much as people thought it did? Anti-depressants. They’re only slightly more effective than a placebo. I can cite the studies.
Most of all, fine, exercise doesn’t help clinical depression, but this is also one study. And of course other methods should be used in conjunction with exercise, like say, therapy. And the title is misleading. There are different types of depression. Not everyone is clinically depressed. There are a lot of people whom exercise can aid their depression. You might say they’re not “actually depressed”. They’re not clinically depressed, but they can still be depressed.
As much as I hate when doctors give patients a simple solution of “just work out more” it also makes me seethe when I see peoples’ confirmation bias in action. God dammit, keep an open mind.
Anyway, again I’m open to discussion about this and I’m being kind of irrationally angry right now but please understand, I see this all the time and this post/the comments on it particularly made me angry.
I definitely feel it’s helped me.

omfg i’m crying at the latest episode of Got because daenerys is listening to this guy and she’s so tired of his bullshit and she looks directly at the camera like she’s in an Office episode
What kind PC do you have? What was the price range?

I have a rather crap one. Well it’s not crap, but it can’t really play Arma 3 multiplayer so that bums me out.
CPU: AMD Phenom 9650 quad core
GPU: Nvidia GeForce GTX 570
Memory: DDR2 8gb(old motherboard, can’t use DDR3 which means can’t go higher than 8gb)
Basically, it’s getting old and you don’t really want to buy what I have. DDR2 RAM is pretty expensive, each 2gb stick cost me around $16-20 while the card I got when it was rather new was almost $300 and the CPU is really bad, 2.3GHz which is probably why I can’t play Arma 3.
I bought my computer premade about 7 years ago? I don’t know, a while ago and it was like $1000 or more. And that had a Radeon HD 5450 card :/ I hope to upgrade my motherboard, CPU and RAM soon.
The moral of the story is don’t buy your computer premade unless you are a kid like I was. Buy your parts separately and it will be a hell of a lot cheaper.

Loving Sejuani, man. Her overhaul was just amazing. And nevermind the fact that this game was a complete stomp fest for my whole team. I didn’t even realize we were ahead by 30 near the end and that they didn’t get a single tower on us.

It takes less than a minute (only about 15 seconds actually) to go to their site and click on the purple box titled, ‘Click Here to Give - it’s FREE!’. Every click gives about .6 bowls of food to sheltered dogs. You can also click daily!
Keep in mind that this does not cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising. [via.]

Check out my new infect deck I built on mtgdeckbuilder. I hope to buy this after I get a job. Might even take it to modern tournaments, that or my spirit deck.
It’s called Infected Verdant
It has potential turn 3 or 4 win so that is pretty awesome
Do you ever just stumble upon a social justice blog and see how angry each of their posts are? Like I just picture them in their room making a post, hitting each key with such force that their fingers are bleeding and their grinding their teeth,
It’s a good laugh if you look at it that way.

The Cheapest Generation: Why Aren’t Millennials Buying Cars or Houses?
What if Millennials’ aversion to car-buying isn’t a temporary side effect of the recession, but part of a permanent generational shift in tastes and spending habits? It’s a question that applies not only to cars, but to several other traditional categories of big spending—most notably, housing. And its answer has large implications for the future shape of the economy—and for the speed of recovery.

It’s safe to say that a decent number of Tumblr users are a part of the Millennial generation. So, tell us: Do you own a car or house? If not, why?
IT’S BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO DISPOSABLE INCOME YOU THUNDERING IDIOTS. Fucking preference has nothing to do with it. 50% of college graduates have no job! They all have the most student loan debt ever! What are you asking this question for?!
Also: housing is a good bit more expensive now.
My parents got a 15-year mortgage on a new house in the mid-70s. The house was $32,000. Average home price in that area now? $190,000.
So, home prices went up. Food prices went up. Health care prices went WAY UP. Rent prices went up. Higher education went up so damn high that some of us forgo that all together. Energy prices went up. Car prices went up.
Prices of prices went up.
We also pay cell phone bills, internet bills, data plans, text plans, online subscriptions, cable/satellite tv, netflix, DVR subscriptions — bills that didn’t even exist 30-40 years ago. We also use computers and smartphones and microwaves and other consumer electronics that didn’t exist 20-50 years ago.
We need medications and doctors and contact lenses and tampons and maxi pads and other things that cost money just to be alive and keep us healthy.
Most of us can’t afford to:
Get married and have a “Traditional” big wedding
Buy a house
Buy a new car
PLAN to have children
Take two, consecutive weeks of vacation.
Jobs that paid 50k in the late 1990s now pay between 30-35. Interest rates that favor consumers have gone down.
So I say, no. We are not choosing not to buy homes. We’re not choosing to take the bus in cities where there’s no good public transit. WE ARE NOT CHOOSING TO LIVE WHAT SOCIETY DEEMS AS AN UNDESIRABLE LIFESTYLE.
Don’t even get me started on the fact that these two people in the picture are young white hipsters. Young black and brown folks have been forgoing homeownership and buying new cars for decades, this shit isn’t new, pal. You’re just acting like this shit is new because it’s hitting white folks.
anyway, my point is: We are fucking broke.
Not to mention nowadays coming out of college most can only get unpaid internships. I’ve lost count of the number of places I found while job hunting offering nothing more but ‘the experience’ as if that’s going to magically pay the bills for me and my family.
The older generation constantly questions why we aren’t like them then tries to write us off as ‘lazy’ and ‘unmotivated’, when they’re the ones that tanked the economy and have put us millennials in this position in the first place.
Then because the economy is tanked, those older generation business owners decided to save money and instead of paying those college kids what they’re due (and if you have any sort of degree from anywhere, from a university or a community college YOU SHOULD BE GETTING PAID FOR YOU WORK) force them into free labor and tell them it’s ‘experience’ so you can add it to your resume for when that imaginary well-paying job comes along!
We’re running around in circles like chickens with our heads cut off while they’re standing there watching us, holding our heads in one hand, the knife in the other and wondering what went wrong.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m97qpaHmvN1qcokc4o1_500.jpg)
