Look, I have ridden the NYC subway as a commuter, and I am grateful that my office is now a short walk from Grand Central. One does use different strategies on commuter trains, at least with Metro North, which doesn’t have anything like the insane mixmaster the LIRR operates at Jamaica station. They don’t call those…

Probably forever in the grays, but I’ll give it a shot.

Sweden has absolutely absurd laws in regards to sexual assault and a really bad history of failing women in recent years. Until someone is convicted of a specific sort of assault, then it’s basically impossible to get a judge to convict for it. A couple years ago,…

So many dead orangutans.

Yes. That’s also why rapes are more talked about there, it seems they are more reported. So I am not sure what Mumford and son are trying to achieve, unless suddenly Sweden faces a rape epidemics...

Ok, this might sound strange, but: I’m finding it a lot easier to keep my calorie count down if I eat things like cheeseburgers. Last year, I tried the healthy route. Vegetables and chicken and chili and jambalaya and hummus were my go-to food items. But I had a devil of a time keeping under my calorie counts, because…

You do realize that the huge numbers of asylum seekers that have been braving the treacherous sea to reach Europe (and thousands dying in the process) aren’t ONLY from Syria, right? They’re also from Iraq and different areas of the African continent. And - shock! - a lot of these people are - get ready for it - not…

100% agree with thundercatsarego’s comment, but I wanted to add that palm oil is also a highly unsustainable product that contributes to deforestation and endangering wildlife that live in those habitats.

So many dead orangutans.

Preach. I go through spurts where I’m really into tracking everything and then I give up for a couple of weeks. I’ve also found that the beauty/danger of the barcode scan is that I gravitate towards more packaged foods, even if it’s a pre-packaged salad or something “healthy.” I know it still isn’t ideal to go heavy…

When I’m eating “healthy”, I tend to end up with too much fat in my diet... I like nuts, hummus, edamame, pesto... I just can’t seem to avoid it.

Tighter bracelets, obvs.

“They were probably immigrants. I hate to say it. But it is the truth,”she said.

It doesn’t make it more true if you post it several times in the comments

Seriously, fuck you.

Yep! I did so many low-fat, fat free things as a teen and in my early/mid 20s. I gave all that up a few years ago and I eat less now than I ever did dieting. Protein is the key for me. Everyone is always like fruits and veggies I’m like no give me a shit load of protein and I won’t want to kill everything. Yeah I’ll…

Most of my relatives are unrefined whites

Ironically, interest in the festival has surged now that Mumford and Sons won’t be performing.

Also low-fat salad dressings and “mayonnaise.” WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG!

Why do I get the feeling the only difference between Bravalla and other massive festivals like Glastonbury is that theses cases were reported rather than the action of sexual assault itself.

I’m a door troll, and PROUD OF IT.
