Exercise is a great antidepressant. It is also extremely difficult if not impossible for severely depressed people, especially severely depressed people who have internalized self-hate from a fat-phobic culture, to just go exercise.

That’s not really the take here. Anyone black or white with an interest in a better society might reasonably want to see the NFL called to account publicly for their treatment of Kaepernick. He took the payment, and good luck to him, he deserves whatever it is.

Yeah, I should have been clearer that I didn’t think exercise is a panacea, especially in the cases of possible mental fixation. But it sure as hell can help, if done responsibly

Yea I never really got this either. I mean, I wouldn’t say I feel in a worse mood necessarily, but I only feel better after exercising because I hate it and now its over until the next time I have to do it. I don’t really like...feel better about life in general or have some sort of overall improved mood. I also,…

I always end up in a much worse mood after exercising, regardless of how my workout went. It really amazes me that people say it lifts their mood so much. (But I realize I just seem to be an outlier here) 

I’m trying to wrap my head around the idea that “exercise is the most underutilized antidepressant” is “worrisome.” There are reams and reams of data and studies indicating that exercise’s positive effects are more than just physical, and speaking empirically, I don’t feel the same if I don’t exercise most days. I’m…

These articles are so irritating (and yet I clicked another one!).  We all touch millions of germs every day!  There is fecal matter ALL AROUND US!  It’s fine.  Everything’s fine.

Is there any actual data on the risk factors here? We come into contact with all kinds of bacteria on a regular basis, be it through contact with public surfaces everywhere from doors to washrooms to chairs, exchanges of money and other products that come into contact with multiple people, and even being in close…

One word, Chili.

Eh - 2 of those losses were in September, which the Pats have treated as an extension of the preseason lately. All 3 of those teams had extra motivation for the particular game. Jax for “revenge” for the AFC Championship game last year (congrats), Detroit for Patricia facing his former team, and TEN for Vrabel facing…

I’m still clinging to that win by the Titans. 

Looking over Football outsiders today, the Patriots beat the no.1 DVOA team (KC), the no.2 DVOA team (LAR), and the number 3 DVOA (LAC) team in the postseason this year. That’s crazy.

One piece of advice I give to everyone who has savings of whatever kind that are more than 20k:

Open a brokerage account. Most people don’t even think to do so, as (if they think about them at all) they assume they’re only for professional traders. But they aren’t. So long as you can put a minimum amount in to set it…

If you’re even thinking about borrowing money to get a master’s degree, you need to sit down and think about ROI, map out the monthly payments post-grad, look at what the graduates of that school/program earn (if the school doesn’t provide this data, run the other way) and decide if “the juice is worth the squeeze.”

One more tip, stop pissing away your money on new cars and car loans.

There’s no financial advice that can help when the problem is that you just don’t have enough income to meet your necessary expenses.

What is upsetting about the Patriots to me is their grim inevitability. This season we saw innovative and high scoring offenses, exciting new players and coaches, and some crazy games, and it’s just so bitter that it all ended with the same fucking Patriots beating probably the two most fun teams in the league in…

I was happy to hear the crowd boo Goodell after the game, they couldn’t all be Patriots fans.
