Trampoline is so fun! Really great for low-impact exercise, and also just super enjoyable. The best thing anyone ever told me in a trampoline class was to put the emphasis on jumping DOWN, not up—that way you’re using your core and your legs to drive yourself down through the resistance of the trampoline, as opposed…

The actual best part of SoulCycle is that it’s so dark in there they basically can’t see you—the only people the instructors call out are the people they know, who are usually sitting right up front.

I’m allergic to avocado, actually. Also cunty judgemental women. So no, that wasn’t really on offer.

You’d probably like me a lot in person, actually. Most people do. Because they can tell that I’m being sincere and I just want them to be happy. If you insist on thinking the worst of people, that says more about you than it does about me.

As I would have said to Lauren had I thought there was any merit to continuing the conversation—I get it. I work in Union Square, although over the years I’ve been at offices in Midtown, Gramercy, and down in the financial district. I know why people eat out at lunch, and I know exactly what it looks like when you do…

Yeah, that makes sense. I guess it’s not fair to demand a thought-out conclusion about issues that most women will continue to confront throughout their lifetime, but I do always end up wishing this series was different, and that she would decide on SOME course of action. Like, undertake whatever mental work you need…

No. I understand some people think comments like mine are obnoxious. That isn’t like, an objective standard, though. As you can see from the many people who don’t think I was obnoxious at all and completely understand what I was saying. If you’re willing to accept that some people are sincere (EVEN THOUGH there is a…

Thank you! Yeah, that’s exactly how I read it too. I clicked on this expecting a “I’m not an in-shape bride and I don’t give a shit” article, and I wouldn’t have had anything at all to say about that. That is fine with me. But Lauren sounds like she’s pretty unhappy with her current routine, and would like to change,…

Thanks. Yeah. That’s pretty much exactly what I was saying, but I should have known that the “never comment on anyone’s exercise or eating habits” rule would hold, even in a post where someone offers up their exercise and eating habits for discussion.

No, I meant that completely. If she really IS happy with how she feels and looks, and she’s adopting this cranky, malaise-filled confused tone as some kind of rhetorical device she thinks the internet will like, then why should she change anything? But she sounds unhappy and vaguely ashamed of her exercise and eating…

Jesus. Reverting to Professional Bridesmaid Automatic Agreeing With Everything You Say mode, stat!

“all the cafes and counters have their calories listed (this is a New York thing, for people who do not live in New York)“

The good news is, there is no way to do 135 crunches a day correctly, if by correctly you mean “in a way that will make a goddamn bit of difference,” particularly given your diet, so I think you can probs relax about them. The only restaurants in New York required to post calorie counts are chain restaurants with…

Because rapists, unfortunately, seem to persist in society no matter what. I hope that with education and time that will change, but there are rapists all throughout history, which suggests to some degree that that perversion will be very hard to root out. The biggest thing that stands between them and our bodies and…

Oh good Christ. Just because a 12 year old is compliant doesn’t mean she wants to have sex—it means SHE IS TWELVE and accustomed to taking orders from adults, which is exactly what makes children vulnerable in the first place, you HALF WIT. Never reproduce, Detective Kelly.

Everyone who THOUGHT that the Halloween candy would be on sale and they were so psyched for some half-priced Milky Way bars and they got there and were like fuck it, I have been thinking about Milky Way bars for four days now, I’m just going to buy it. Or so I heard. From a friend.

Don’t be a dick. Poster is 100% correct. Of course the law applies evenly. Enforcing the law (and attaining the Presidency, for whatever that has to do with it) depends on your budget, which she acknowledges in LITERALLY THE SAME SENTENCE.

“Born with it” is the most accidentally apt descriptor Trump could have chosen to describe why he is a successful dealmaker and Ben Carson is not. The unconscious mind is a beautiful thing.

You have to bathe them with a special shampoo that sort of helps bind the dander to their skin...I don’t know, kind of gross. I’m resigned to just living with my terrible allergies and not having any pets, at this point.

Yep—age, age, age. This was SUCH a dealbreaker for me in my 20s. Now, in my 30s, I get a little bit embarrassed when the question of “meeting the friends” even comes up, because all (literally, all) my closest girlfriends live in other cities and have babies. They are so, so supportive of me and we talk all the time,…
