It’s a funny thing: I’m pretty sure nobody actually wants to be overweight — there’s an entire industry out there dedicated to weight loss — and yet precious few people succeed in taking off weight and keeping it off. So our choices are either that they’re all lazy, or that losing weight is simply difficult for a lot

So, no actual weight problems to speak of. So what virtue do you possess that I lack?

Okay Islabonita, please tell us about your weight problems: how long have you struggled, what did you finally do to lose the weight?

Look, I like riding my bike a lot. It’s been warm enough to take it for a couple not-too-challenging spins this year already, and I enjoyed it. But each time I did, it also resulted in me being hungrier than normal and needing to put more food in me — not huge amounts of food, but certainly more than I burned.

Thanks! Mostly I’m hoping I can help the next poor sucker. It is no fun being heavy, watching yourself get heavier, and not know how to reverse it. At present I’m taking off the pounds like 10 times faster than I put them on, and there is hope to be found in that. (Probably more than 10 times faster, but I don’t have

How many miles of walking to lose a pound? A pound is 3500 calories. A mile of walking is, say, 120 calories if you’re a 180-pound man. That’s about 30 miles to lose a pound. I can lose a pound in about half a week, just by eating more selectively.

I’m not having a hissy about grammar, just about the noun “creative”.

Sophisticated AIs, but they poke at the brains of unsophisticated people. While the Russians may have pushed and prodded here and there, deep down I don’t think they did anything that our homegrown idiots weren’t willing to do all by themselves. (Which doesn’t justify the Russian attacks, but let’s be clear that the

Well you’ve inspired me — I need to start using a bindle like my Appalachian forebears.

I agree that exercise is a very very good thing — EXCEPT when it prevents you from doing something more necessary. If you’re sufficiently heavy (and in this country a lot of people are), your biggest health hazard is obesity, and you need to do what works to fight obesity. Exercise is (by my reckoning) the number one

Here, I’ll prove it to you — I just added a reference to “hotdog water” on the site.

Heh! No, I’m actually a real human being, and I realize how bottish that looks. But here’s the deal: I’ve wrestled with weight ever since I was a teenager, and at the age of 50 I finally figured out something that works. And I realize there are any number of other people in exactly the same boat: you’re heavy, you

Hey, where did you get a photo of me?

Contempt is the key to a quality insult.

“Plus, what’s the point of a slur if the people you’re slurring don’t even realize it’s a slur? That’s a waste of a slur! Slur wasting is a sin!”

Star’d, but not because I’m happy about any of that. :-(

Star’d for every single sentence there. That’s a hell of a lot of insight for one post.

Oregon was created as a whites-only paradise — a white people Wakanda if you will, though people didn’t dress like Anglo-Saxon farmers and conduct trials via ordeal.

I suspect gun nuts are afraid that other people think like they do: whatever you can get away with is fair game. This is more likely to afflict white people than any other group, since whites are pretty much used to a society that grants them tremendous latitude without a whole lot of bullshit to get in their way.

Well I’m “not a creative”. How could that not be a pejorative relative to being “a creative”?
