6 Scientific Reasons Break Ups Suck Worse Than You Think

Yes, as if it’s not bad enough that you’re losing the one person who will remember to inform the singing waiters at Olive Garden that it’s your birthday, it turns out that ending a relationship can actually have other awful, long-lasting effects on your life.

…6.
You Might Be Ruining Your Friends’ Lives Too

As we pointed out in this article, the people around you can influence your behavior in bizarre ways. The choices your friends and family make in their lives, good or bad, end up influencing the decisions you make as well. And it seems that this is even more true when it comes to the ends of relationships: There’s an excellent chance that your breakup is going to somehow cause the breakup of someone else in your circle.

“We need some time apart, now if you’ll excuse me, I have to destroy my friends’ relationships.”
How Bad Can it Be?
When a couple breaks up or divorces, their immediate friends and family are 75 percent more likely to break up as well.

Kind of like how the breakup of the Beatles eventually caused the breakup of Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Why are games so terrified of sex?

Games have always had an uneasy relationship with sex. From the outside, many seem to be pandering to the egos and fantasies of little boys …

…although the scene was removed for the American release. Mass Effect’s controversy on the other hand was just mindblowing. Its most graphic sex scene consisted of a couple of flashes of a blue woman’s bottom and a little obscured side-boob. It took place almost at the end of the game, between characters who had come to know and care about each other, on the cusp of a mission that was almost guaranteed suicide. It was clean, classy, and so inoffensive that even psychologist Cooper Lawrence described the controversy over it as “kind of a joke”. Who is Cooper Lawrence, you ask? She’s the psychologist who didn’t actually bother watching the scenes in question before going on Fox News to publicly condemn the game’s sexism and objectification of women. Nice one, Cooper. Thanks. Even worse was one conservative blogger, Kevin McCullogh, who described the action like this: “It allows its players…

…Now we have a high-resolution picture.”The material unsealed in the archives includes documents from 1912 to 1955.
