DUDE, just UNBUTTON the part that's already buttoned!

When I hear people talk like this I feel embarrassed that I had the opposite reaction. I put too much weight into the words of the kids and adults around me and it took me many years to like myself again. I guess we all have our strengths and weaknesses. Mine is it took me a half a lifetime to throw that weight off

If you're gaining unwanted fat, switch out some of the higher calorie options/eat more low calorie foods/ pack up on the fiber until you find a yourself at a stable and smaller place.

I mean, yes you can calibrate this sort of thing over a few weeks by recording intake and watching your weight react. But what our friend solly seems to be missing is that such behavior and effort takes knowledge, time, energy, and the additional privilege of prioritizing your body over other concerns in life.

I don't deny people overeat, myself included. It's just a gross oversimplication that you can somehow know how much your energy your body naturally uses and to just know exactly how much to eat without gaining or loosing weight.

Simple, While we cannot extract 2 kcal of energy from 1 kcal of food, what we can do is increase the efficiency of the body's ATP generation process and decrease the percentage of the food that goes into body heat generation.

It's not about consuming calories but how your body processes the said calories. There are a list of reasons that your body is slower to use the calories.

I dunno — having had a couple kids this age, overfeeding is not really possible, unless the parents are force-feeding them ridiculously inappropriate foods. Otherwise there must be a medical problem. I hate the idea of a "diet" for babies; at this age they should be eating until they're content. The problem is not

like we live in a world where we are video game avatars spending our days just dodging the rapes that happen to fly our way.

This again. Freedom of Speech does not protect you from other people getting mad about what you say. Freedom of Speech, as some kind of general principle allowing you to be an asshole and having everyone just stand back and pretend like it's not happening, is not a thing.

He's already a billionaire, so money doesn't mean that much to him. But the embarrassment of losing his team is a good punishment.

Fox News trolling the press conference: "Should an owner really be punished for something he said in private?" Disgusting.

yeah....I mean, she's like the actress who made millions and a global name falling down in every horror film ever only to rescued by a male actor suddenly having a moment of clarity and saying that we need stronger female lead roles to help with gender norms.

Good for her daughter. But, I find this pretty ironic coming from a woman who not only perpetuates the same attitudes she is condemning, but profits off of them.

The corollary to the bullshit "All my friends are guys" is "Women just don't like me; they're always mean bitches." Yeah, they don't like you because you're nasty, competitive, backstabbing, jealous, and starved for attention.
There was a point in my life when I worried that I had too many guy friends, and maybe for

Another former female chauvinist "not like other girls" type here. I have reformed and I am sorry.

seriously. if you have no female friends there is a reason - probably bc most women don't want to be your friend, not the other way around. the second someone says this I can't hide the biggest eye roll, sigh groan. actually, i don't try to hide it.

Fuck you right back. I know plenty of women that grew up in predominately male families and mainly male fields (how many female camera operators, lighting techs and grips do you think are around?) and they have great friendships with women.

All of the women that say that are without question the meanest, bitchiest, cattiest and shittiest of all. They are the backstabbers, the gossips, the ones that sleep with your boyfriend behind your back and the ones that generally give women a bad name.

Wow - Lily Allen is a horrendous gender traitor and terrible person and should be killed immediately. Just. . . . everything she said. . . I could write an entire essay. But I'll just pick one quote:
