Then there are the kids who lie because they’re super afraid of getting in trouble. I was a kid who freaked out if anyone so much as looked at me with a slight expression of disapproval, so if I made a mistake, no one ever found out.

“Let’s start with the biggest lie that viral challenges tell you: that suffering is a goal worth pursuing.”

Running is fine for most people. That said, my knees creak every time I go up the stairs, and my shins hurt like a bitch when I run. It depends on your body. Some people just aren’t built to run, which is fine — you can do plenty of low-impact cardio things instead. Cycling, swimming, so forth.

It’s fine to suck, says the guy who’s famous and therefore doesn’t suck at what he likes to do. That’s like a skinny person saying it’s totally fine to be fat. He doesn’t know what it’s like to suck at something major in your life.

Just don’t get any tortillas at all. Same amount of substance for fewer calories. Tortillas are just sugar.

Yeah my first thought here was, this needs a double boiler to avoid direct heat, then just let it sit and “bake.”

I’m surprised this doesn't taste like cake. Looks like the crumbs we used for cake pops.

I don’t think the insults here are worth it, but there is something to be said for vegan food being in that “trendy” stage that makes it hard to afford, as well as dependent on fresh produce that is expensive.

100% agreed. Let meat be meat. Nothing else is going to be meat. Focus on making vegetarian/vegan food that stands on its own.

To me, meals need to have some heaviness to them. Meat sticks to your ribs. I’ve tried bean dishes and other protein heavy vegetarian food, but it all just goes right through me. These sandwich suggestions have lots of flavor, but they seem like they’d have no “staying power.”

Maintenance Phase is good stuff. I like how hard they dig into subjects, and it’s got a great dose of humor too.

Many poly relationships are hierarchical. I’m poly. I have a primary partner, who everyone else who dates me knows is my first and foremost. Then I have the others. They enter a relationship with me knowing this, and they can leave if they find it unfortunate. So far, no one has.

I’d say doing the Smith Machine is the only exercise I can think of that I’d say no to. It’ll fuck up your back.

ShadowPryde said what I want to say only better. How long? Forever. I don’t enjoy exercise. I’d rather read a book, paint, sit with my cats, play video games, anything. I’d rather stare at a wall than do cardio especially. If I get hot and sweaty and people will stare at me for being out of shape, I hate it. And…

Agreed with all of this, and I’m so mad I’m not a naturally skinny person so I can look hot without doing something I hate constantly.

I’m truly curious: why do we have to do the math? Why can’t we just write numbers in the Total column? The folks who don’t pay you enough, presumably are paying themselves to do the accounting. Let them do it, yeah?

Stem tying may be suggestive, but if you want to really beat the curve (har), do a whole ton of Kegels and learn really good muscular control down there. It surprises and impresses.

If it’s in something that will take over its flavor: any cheap thing from your store. For something where you can taste it: Kerrygold.

Uh, you mean my 1800 square foot house?

I’ll put 100 bucks on the rat here being a white middle-aged soccer mom whose kid was on the other team.
