Did you not hear the "struggle" part of it? Clearly, you either never had to lose weight, or had an easy time of it and find that sufficient basis for judging others inferior to you. And I don't want it as an alternative to self-control, I want it because I want to be healthier than I am and on top of better diet and…

Hi, I'm somebody who *does* exercise and *does* work on their appetite, but I'm still overweight, and it's work to be healthy. I'm not overweight because of some moral or character defect, and neither are many other people struggling just like I am. So fuck off and take your superior attitude with you.

Where can I find them, if they're that effective for you?

It... It says right in the article, "As a result, the rats exposed to the virus ate and weighed less than the control group." Eating less means they take in fewer calories per day. Fewer calories per day means they start burning the calories stored in their fat faster than outside sources can replace them. Burning the…

Do I need to reiterate the fact that the event Osama bin Laden was responsible for essentially defined my generation? It is a massive relief that the man who represented near-inexpressible depravity and hatred to me and everyone I grew up with has finally been brought to justice. "Giddy" is a perfect word. I'm…

How is it cheerleading to be glad that a mass murderer is dead? Do you see anybody saying, "Boy, thousands of dead soldiers in Iraq are suddenly worth it"? No? Then perhaps you should quietly step back and reevaluate your position.

It's interesting that CNN.com isn't mentioning either chant.

I can't describe how giddy I feel right now.

On the other hand, had he been caught and brought to the USA for trial, or, say, tried in the Hague (dunno if that would have happened), it could easily have devolved into a farce as politicians attacked one another with it. Not saying Osama didn't deserve to be tried and executed, but it's worth it to weigh the…

Things aren't so bad— SETI just needs funding for the next two or so years, until its next round of pre-approved funding kicks in.

I read this book in a single day, because I loved it so much. Furthermore, it made me very interested in 30 Rock, and I plan on getting the DVDs.

I think I speak for a lot of people here when I say this:

I'm inerested in Knight of Vengeance and Project Superman, but I thought they'd be one-shots each, not miniseries, and it seems like they require the reader to collect the main story book, too... I might wait until it's collected in TPB.

I used to read Adams' blog, years ago— I stopped out of sheer laziness, but it looks like that may have been a wise move.

Uh, sorry, but Jesus here is in the right. I mean, you know, because he's not a sociopath. Yes, it is too much to ask.

China's already building massive cities that nobody lives in— See the post from yesterday or the day before about them.

Source Code has done fine at the box office so far, it was No. 2 behind Hop and made back almost half of its budget opening weekend.

Sad but likely. People are awful sometimes.

Oh, yeah, you can do that, those kind are called "Borders".

It got miserable, miserable reviews. And I'll concede that most DC DTVs aren't too shabby— But most of them pale in comparison to the DCAU.
