I love my Fitbit and have been wearing it for over a year, but remember exercise alone does not generally make you lose weight. Diet is for weight loss, exercise is for fitness.

i’ve read through your comments and the only way i can wrap my miserable cis-het-male head around them is to stipulate that by the word “rape” you mean specifically the rape of women by men (not men by other men, boys by women, etc.), that the mere fact of the crime itself serves as incontrovertible evidence of the…

So you see no possible room for any other explanation? There is no good reason for rape. There is no acceptable reason. But there are others, and insisting otherwise is detrimental. The perpetrator of any crime is showing a form of contempt for their victim - but this does not mean the crime is motivated by a hatred…

So gay men who commit sexual assaults against other gay men are acting out of misogynistic impulses???

Rape is NOT LIKE MURDER, especially when it comes to intent. This is not a drill: these things are not alike and approaching them with the expectation of similarity will leave you in illogical if not stupid places.

Rape is obviously constitutive of women’s inequality.

If you want to argue about what was going through Dr. Luke’s head while he was raping her, feel free to argue... with someone else, who is interested in a question that preposterous.

Uh yes. Because every murder of a black person is not automatically a hate crime. It has to be racially motivated. If you shot a black guy because he slept with your wife, you’re shooting him for that reason and not because he’s black. Which means you didn’t commit a hate crime. The same thing applies here. If the…

OK, but why is this the thing you most want to know about? Wouldn’t you rather know what pesticides were used, and how much? Or what “spices” on the ingredient label is supposed to mean? Or the grades the processing plant got in their most recent inspection?

Pollan has some really good points here, although I don’t agree with all of it. Where is this quote from, by the way?

Because we saw this first...and different people work on different stories. Breathe and give it a minute.

Being “on Trial” is not the same thing as having one’s testimony (and the foundations of that testimony) tested via cross-examination.

“I wasn’t even thinking about after because I didn’t think it mattered — because it shouldn’t matter.”

The problem is that the only evidence in the case was their testimony. In order to judge that testimony their memory and actions have to be examined or they would have had to produce physical evidence. Unless they were taping all of their conversations or had hospital reports (or something else that was credible and…

Honestly I go back and forth on that. I think it’s possible he knowingly falsified results from the get-go (see: financial interests in his results, developing a competing vaccine), but I think it’s equally possible he saw a hint of something “exciting” and confirmation bias and poor study methods did the rest. Either…

This guy is the worst. The damage he has caused to countless children and their families, and the zero shame he has. Just ugh.
