I am borrowing this forever.

'If you ran - at a high speed - for 2 hours per day and did a boxing class for an hour a day (and that class included interval training), that might be sufficient."

Running a marathon is not 'mildly intensive' for some people but balls to the wall for others. Running is a marathon is balls to the wall for everyone. A couple of seasons ago that's exactly what they got the contestants to do on the biggest loser. And who are you to know that 'tolerance for exercise discomfort is…

I'm so sorry for your loss. The moment I saw it, it felt off with her 'I'll go travelling!' and my 'last night at home..." ... in real life it's such a heartbreaking deterioration that this instantly felt very 'movie cancer'. I hope this hasn't stirred up too many sad feelings for you.

So you missed that other article where a former contestant said the show gave her (and she's fairly sure other contestants) an eating disorder? Or the news articles where on the Australian one where contestants drank tea tree oil to give themselves diarrhoea? Or the fact that the contests are encouraged to train past…

Learnt that the hard way. As in, hard books falling on me.

I feel warm and cosy just looking at this

I have always wondered this too!!! I would love some one who is a critic to weigh in. I think critique and analysis certainly have value, and you do need informed people to cut through the mass of 'stuff' our there - but I do find it bizarre that some peoples career is 'professionally judging other peoples creative…

That's awkward. I forgot to add 'Fuck you' to the end of that post! EMBARRASSING!

That's really awesome of you to say 'shut the fuck up and let the lgbt people speak' to a queer person. Nice one.

I really don't think that's a funny story, I think you're being really dismissive of what Serengetti Dove has to say. The fact that a lot of people on Groupthink are discussing that it's problematic doesn't take away from Serengetti Dove's own experience. I also don't understand where you get the idea they're speaking…

There'll be a exasperated black police chief obvs.

I was being semi-facetious-cat-stereotype-y. I know plenty of cats who are super affectionate. I guess I was trying to think of a way to describe the mood....If you imagine a really aloof cat who only likes you just before you feed it? All the cats were like that...but worse.

I totally do not want attention all the…

I went to one in Tokyo and I was NOT into it. And I love my some pussy...cat. You know how cats have that vibe where they're all like 'you're lucky I'm even putting up with you'...all the cats in the cafe were like but x1000. You can buy little tubs of chicken and the cats totally ignore you unless you have the…

Pffft, maybe not for you! I caught a kangaroo to work this morning.

Kangaroos, universal healthcare, and the highest rate of illegal downloading in the world. Proud as.

The correct way to support local business is to BUY FROM LOCAL BUSINESS instead of stealing from large corporations.

Not to sound snarky, but I don't think you'd have conflicting emotions if you'd ever owned or worked for a small business.

There are loads of other 'naive' things they could've done that wouldn't have made the kiosk owner lose money

I made gingerbread cookies for everyone. The Patriarchy got the slightly burnt and misshapen ones.

I get this one
