Researchers have discovered a phenomenon called “metabolic compensation,”whereby, as people either expend more energy through physical activity or lose weight, their basal metabolic rate slows down.

No, exercise does very little to stave off weight gain. Healthy eating has a much, much larger impact.

With food intake being far and away the most important thing. Exercise doesn’t actually do much for weight loss because it doesn’t burn nearly as many calories as people think in proportion to the calories your body is burning anyway and people tend to, whether consciously or not, overcompensate in what they eat

After a lawyer I know was chastised by Rehnquist in open court for calling him “Justice Rehnquist” instead of “Chief Justice Rehnquist,” I determined that the best thing to do is to always, always, always address judges by “Your Honor” instead of messing with names/titles. You’re gonna be flustered during argument,

I think it’s this. He mentioned in a lot of interviews that he refused to think about aging or death.

Yeah, I took it similarly. He’s always facing away, never turning toward.

Seems like a weird time to suddenly branch out in your instagramming habits.

Yessss this. Just do it all at once. All the kids in my family do their will, power of attorney, and living will (i.e. medical directive) right after turning 18.

Whyyy would you post that movie picture though if you have “nothing but the upmost [sic] respect for Beyonce.” Like you just happened to be thinking about it right after wearing Beyonce’s clothes and lemons and knowing that other than Becky with the Good Hair the most memorable line was probably ashes to ashes, dust

I am waaaay more interested in FLOTUS’ look. Want. Now.

I’m not saying this is true, but even if it is, so what? He had an incredibly hard life and lost a child. Trauma begets addiction because it numbs pain.

Ugh no I love this about Prince.

Right, what matters in the general is FL, OH, VA, NC. Guess who won those? Solid blue states where Bernie has won aren’t going to turn red if Hillary’s the nominee, just like solid red states won’t turn blue if Hillary’s the nominee. Swing states matter.

I can’t watch the video - is this the one where he calls the same people Hillary was referring to “deeply sick sociopaths”? Or the one where he says that crack cocaine sentencing shouldn’t be reduced to eliminate the disparity but instead powder cocaine sentences should be increased and he’s deeply disturbed that no

The mainstream isn’t talking about Honduras because once you dig down and learn about the constitutional crisis there’s not really a way to blame Hillary. There’s no evidence that she in any way supported the coup before it happened and her response afterward to call it a coup but delay labeling it a military coup

Agree completely. The cost of reporting can be so high knowing that an acquittal (or a decision on the part of the DA not to bring charges) will inevitably be construed by some as exoneration of your attacker, even though it’s just the nature of the crime that leaves little evidence.

I think a lot of it is the patriarchy, but there’s also the fact that acquaintance rape tends to be uniquely devoid of corroborating evidence. When I got mugged I had witnesses, no purse, and a cut on my face. When I got raped I had absolutely nothing to show that I said no and tried to shove my coworker off of me

It’s standard CYA language in a complaint. Sort of “we have reason to believe that this is what was said and expect discovery to show that this was said, but we don’t have personal knowledge such that we’re absolutely certain that this is what was said.”

As a Frinkiac fan and a frequenter of the diner next to the Springfield Mall, I hereby declare you the winner of the internet.
