I remember the first time I believed Donald Trump could become the next president of the United States. It was the day Sanders claimed Hillary wasn’t qualified to be president. It epitomized the entire campaigns of the two candidates. For the entire race Clinton treated Bernie with kid gloves so as not to offend him…

He literally described himself as an Independent in that press release the other week saying that he was going to give a response to the SOTU in addition to the Democratic response.

Nope.

Oh god no. I love Bernie, wanted him to get on the ballot the first time around, but give it up, dude! He is too divisive to gamble on, and there’s so much more at stake this time around, now that we have an inkling of just how bad things can get. We need a candidate who can win over the Midwest, and people are too…

Fuck those people and fuck him for adding fuel to the fire.

We have a local conservative talk radio station in Birmingham and they are eating this story up.  Dude fucked up big time and is making real racially motivated crimes look like a joke.  

I’m glad you have infinite willpower and a life that is kind enough to you and a brain that is functional enough that one of the most difficult medical tasks people will attempt in an average life is trivial for you.

There is literally always a “eat less!! simples!!” person on every single article even tangentially related to weight loss, even the articles that are like “even for overweight people, simply eating less food is Unhealthy and almost certainly Won’t Work”. It’s exhausting and it’s harmful for people at risk of…

Fuck yeah. I understand people’s desire for simple explanations in life but life is not simple, the human body is not simple, and to reduce life to a simple axiom is stupid and dangerous.

Oh bullshit. 1) recognize a joke 2) people legitimately get hungry, and if cutting calories and dealing with the resultant hunger was that easy nobody would ever have a weight problem. You might want to work on your judgment of others.

“Preexisting conditions slowing metabolism means you just need to eat less.”

Yes adam, thank you for mansplaining caloric deficits to me. People without thyroids are usually on synthroid. People with high TSH have hypothyroidism, which often goes undiagnosed. Certain endocrine conditions, like PCOS, can also cause insulin resistance, which affect your ability to lose weight without proper…

PCOS is fairly common. I don’t know where you’re getting that stat.

The nature of “science” is that it is never settled.  

Except you’re not actually in control of how many calories you expend (unless you’re the first person ever to be able to modulate your metabolism and resting temperature at will) and you’re not in control of how many calories you need to function at the activity level your job/life necessitates (unless you’re the…

Tbh, I don't think that thought has really entered his Mormon brain. In his mind, the majority of his work was helping people who didn't want to be gay anymore stop being gay. The fact that the only reason they felt that way was because they were part of families and communities that demonize them doesn't factor in at…

I didn’t hold a party when I became invisible to men, but I should have.

Yes. One of the most liberating things about getting older (I am 37) is that I’m not constantly being harassed by creeps who think my looks make me an object for their use and my youth makes me an easy target. Not only are men like him ageist but they are also scared little punks because they are afraid of women their…

I chalk that up to our inability as humans to conceptualize without a frame of reference. How many of us can even dream of having one of everything on that list (let alone multiples), and have more money than we will see in our lifetimes left over.

And then conceptualize that Geffen has made that vast amount of…

but this will be the baby that fixes things!
