1.) don't put yourself in Jez hands. Just...no.

YAWWWWN.

....u can haz cognitive dissonance?

thats the thing! the two times I won, its because I lost the most weight out of the entire group, a whopping 4lbs each time.

hehe perhaps, but there is no barrier to participation (i.e. you must weigh XXX to enter rules), plus I rationalize that a larger person could easily win the competition by losing 5-10lbs of water weight in a month (versus a smaller person who has to seriously work for 1 lbs of loss over two weeks, etc).

Well, it certainly worked for me. I don't have any weight to lose (as in, tying to lose 5 lbs is THE hardest thing evar cause I'm already at a healthy-thin weight), but every so often my company puts together a work weight loss challenge, with the prize being a pot of cash (usually $200-$300).

I've read this mess 3 times and concluded that you're not so much arguing a salient point, but more so White Knighting/stanning for T Swift with the help of Women Studies 101 talking points.

OMG yes to all of this. I don't even care for T Swift, she merely exists in my periphery, but the bald faced hypocrisy and barely concealed antipathy dressed up as "feminist critique" is a bit much.

Oh, I'd say the signs are there, we may not live to see the fruits of these efforts, but I think an enlightenment is happening...slowly.

Hm, I thought the issue with horse meat is that asides from false advertising, no one can pinpoint where the horse meat came from. Thus, there's a likely chance that the meat came from retired race horses, full of all sorts of enhancement drugs not meant for human consumption.

"I've never understood this insatiable desire people have for creating these unsolvable, uncompromising, social crusading paradoxes. The reason why people like Lampanelli won't argue semantics to any meaningful length is because most people who are offended and pissed off by this aren't looking for a resolution,…

Fast food in America is super cheap. You can get 2 double cheeseburgers, small fries, and a fried chicken sandwich (dripping in mayo, natch) for $4 at McDonald's.

Word. I've been lucky enough to get the 'Pilates O' during a good session. I gotta say, there's no better motivator than a surprise orgasm ;)

lol and we're off to a good start ;)

I'm not sure what I find more amusing; the people who REALLY want to hold on to the injustice of the word nigga/er, or the people who are accusing you of lying about being black.

ohh...look, its this thread again. For all my time spent on Jezebel (since 2009-ish?), if there is one thing I can attribute to this site, its my new found desire to bust out nigga (and cunt!) whenever I get the chance.

I'm sorry no one loves you. :(

useless personal anecdote: my ring is 1.2 carats of Cubic Z. It cost $80, I paid $40, no one can tell the difference.

PREACH.
