Greetings! I do not know from which dimension you come from, but in this universe balancing one’s caloric intake and a decent amount of cardio exercise is the best way to lose weight.

Yeah, this seems like much ado about nothing. Which I believe is Jezebel’s motto.
Same—especially since I’m trying to both lose weight AND save money, anything that gets me to break my habit of taking Ubers everywhere and just plan a little better to be on time is a thing I’d be willing to give a go.
Yo. My eyes just rolled so far back into my head with your comment. Step outside your own narrative?! Bleagh. We’re talking about calories. If you’re so sensitive that you need the world to shield you from calories, you need some real help. Do you get upset when the calories are posted on menus? Do you get upset when…
Now, if it told me how many Fritos...
A calorie is simply a certain # of joules.
Except it’s not. calorie is defined as the energy it requires to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius. It’s set. Quit trying to make up science. I think you have work confused with effort.
I find the backlash interesting in that often the same people who want folks to get out of their cars and tax sodas seem really hostile to this. Awareness is good. Both the cupcake graphic and not being able to turn it off is a bit too intrusive, but the critics don’t want a simple fix—they seem to want total…
No it isn’t. Where do you get your research?
I would like it to tell me where I could stop for mini cupcakes on the way, maybe.
It’s definitely a good feature, I imagine if it had been rolled out completely it’d have been made optional. Not sure why it said what good you burned off.
Yeah, this is honestly something they could have done really well, especially if their creepy data-crunching is sophisticated enough to do things like account for steepness and walking speed. It’s making it not optional that’s the problem, and also specifically making the cupcakes not optional. If they’d made it…
Yeah I don’t see what’s so offensive about this (except for the on/off feature). I certainly don’t feel shamed. You have to be racked with some pretty insecure delusions to assign that kind of personification to an inanimate web service.
I’d actually like a feature that tells me how many calories a walk would burn, but I’d also want the option to turn it off. And I wouldn’t want it to tell me about mini cupcakes.
Oh boy. Even mentioning calories now is “fat shaming” fantastic.
Huh. I thought Match Point was decent, Hannah and Her Sisters was pretty good, you’re right, but I didn’t think it was in the same league as, like, a Fellini film, or even in the same galaxy. Same with Crimes and Misdemeanors. I think he makes mostly bad movies and a few good ones, but I don’t think he’s done anything…
Actually, this is pretty typical of the GOP.
Everyone shocked that someone working for Trump is a shitbag, raise your hand.
What if I am (moderately) rich, what should I think about? Giving up everything I worked so hard for? The things I sacrificed to get there be damned.
