Planks are the devil. I would rather have to do 10 different core exercises than have to do one plank.

1. But how does it work in cooking? There are caramelization aspects to sugar that are hard to duplicate in artificial sweeteners.

And which they clearly didn’t actually pay attention to.

Two of the ONLY things tRump did right during the pandemic was invest in vaccine development and encourage people to get vaccinated. I may think he’s a disgusting orange piece of shit, but I will admit that he did those two things. (Of course, fat lot of good encouraging vaccinations was by that point considering…

Honestly, I don’t blame them. It was a stupid, senseless death. COVID-19 may have been the cause of death, but really his own hubris is what killed him.

More heavily, his OWN ego, but also having bought into tRump’s grift.

That joke made me laugh so hard I started coughing.

Only works if they hadn’t already reproduced.

Yes, targeted to hit those biological markers that designate who is a GOP voter.

Vaccines weren’t available until after the election, so this theory doesn’t quite hold.

I think it’s more that he thought even if he caught it, he would survive (not factoring in the possibility of long COVID). He was 70, but for a 70 year old man, he was in really healthy shape. Again, there was a lot of hubris in the assumptions he made with respect to the disease. His social media after he was…

Anecdotally, you can add my dad to the list of GOP voters who believed vaccine misinformation and died during the Delta wave in summer of 2021. He said he’d heard of “some severe non-fatal side effects in the elderly” (his words, not mine). That combined with the hubristic belief that he may have had a mild case…

Yes, but they are already MUCH stronger, to the degree that I would like my upper body to catch up (somewhat - yes, my legs will and should always be stronger). Most of the non-strength training exercise I do is with my legs, giving them more opportunity for strengthening. So basically I push upper body more than legs…

The hypocrisy and brutality are features, not bugs.

Kind of off main topic, but can someone explain to me what the fuck happened to Matt Taibbi? I remember he used to write for Rolling Stone in the 00s, and I thought he was a decent journalist. So color me surprised to see his name popping up with that nonsense.

As Killa K says, because it didn’t end when it should have. I really think it should have ended even sooner: after they caught Marcone and once they realized they still needed to get Riddler. They could have made the Riddler shit into a whole second movie instead of tacking it on to the existing movie. As is, it just…

To back you up (albeit with anecdotal evidence), there is a far lower chance I would have been to Barbie on Friday if Gerwig hadn’t been the driving creative force behind it. I played a lot with Barbies as a kid, but that doesn’t mean I would just go see any Barbie movie. It was knowing the kind of work Gerwig (and…

Now I just need the guide to every doll (or outfit) represented. Apart from the obviously named ones, I definitely caught at least two dresses that I’d had the Barbies for (Crystal Barbie and Peaches and Cream Barbie).

I had planned to do it before it became this whole meme simply because I knew I’d have that Friday off and that I’d want to see both of them. So why not kill two birds with one stone? I do not regret it.

Personally, I think this “rivalry” has drawn more attention to Oppenheimer and will probably help it’s sales numbers. I always would have expected Barbie to make better sales than Oppenheimer, whether they were released separately or together. Barbie is a more broadly accessible PG-13 comedy that runs under 2 hours as…
