I understand this was a situation where it was easy to get carried away, but you’ve got to realize during those times that you only need about half as much mayo in your beer

I have nothing to add other than this. 

If you followed boxing you’d quickly realize 99% of the people who might punch him are no better.

It’s almost like punching and getting punched repeatedly in the head is not positively associated with one’s cognitive abilities or ability to empathize with other people.

It’s so true. The amount of fat marathoners out there astounds me. You don’t need to look like the Kenyans but when you’re training to run 26 miles, having an extra 30-40 lbs of fat makes me think they get home and absolutely gorge themselves.

Sometimes the perception of what MIGHT happen is worse than what actually happens. Logically I know that at worst I’ll be ignored cause the others are just working out, but that fear rolls up.

I’ve spent years on and off going to the gym. I’m generally in the low-middle end of the weights when I do. I completely understand the fear, since I went through it. However, I’ve never had that happen.

THIS. Growing up in an impoverished household will force you to eat everything, no matter how awful it really is for you. (You know how Michelle Obama described “food deserts”? She was positively, absolutely, and scarily right.)

If that’s what’s keeping you back would it help you if I told you I’ve *never* seen that behavior in any gym I’ve ever stepped foot in over two decades of lifting, and the kind of guy you’re worried about is probably the least likely to do something like that to you? Any casual gym like Workout Anytime or LA Fitness…

Truthfully, nothing like that’s ever happened to me. The worst thing about my gym (I go to a Planet Fitness, so make of that what you will) is the dudes who feel the need to shake their protein drinks at every available opportunity; the motion always reminds me of masturbation—which pretty accurately describes how I…

American diet.

This whole topic is complicated because I want to be (and try to be) compassionate about individuals with different genetics and body types. Obsessions over food and weight aren’t healthy. At the same time, people weren’t this overweight 50 years ago and I don’t think it’s the genetics that have changed. Would you be…

This is not serfdom.  They are not beholden to any master.  They chose to be freelance drivers.  They chose to use their own cars.  They didn't sign any contracts requiring 9-5 service. 

How the hell was DeMarcus Cousins the only person in Oracle Arena that was more concerned about Klay Thompson’s health than giving up a foul???!!! Did they not learn anything from rushing an injured Kevin Durant out there two days ago and playing him until his achilles tendon snapped??? What were they doing setting…

That sucks. He was the guy giving the Raps fits all series and his free agency was going to be very interesting.

I went to High School in a pretty heavily Asian community and as a white guy who’s heard some pretty bad racist stuff before even I was shocked by the amount of anti black racism I heard from Asian friends and Asian girlfriend’s families.

Just get rid of him already, all these fucking people and their disgusting fucking edgy streams, learn some manners and laws because this shit is tiring.

Thank God for movies because otherwise we'd have no idea that rape was ever a problem.

Actually, those are arguments against white supremacy, given the relevant historical context: that those problems are caused largely be the fact that minorities are forced to live in a society built on the assumption of white supremacy, and therefore consisting of institutions built almost entirely by white people for…
