Yeah these seem to be myths more about weight gain than individual health requirements. Things that aren’t death sentences for the average person’s weight loss regime. IE I’m a Type 1 diabetic and I’ve found that 4-5 smaller meals and not eating late at night work best for managing my numbers. Breakfast and eating…

I feel like the ‘frequent small meals’ myth might have been lifted whole sale from the dietary advice given to diabetics. My wife is a diabetic and I have in fact heard her doctor give her the advice to eat frequent small meals. Of course the big caveat to all this is that she does so not as a boost to her metabolism…

Thanks for the advice ;)

Wow.

I walked for hours on that day as well, trying to get home to NJ. Got on the A train, which was headed toward the GWB, when the train stopped for what seemed like a really long time. Decided I’d rather not be in a potential attack underground and wound up walking from somewhere in the upper 70s to the GWB, which is a…

Me too. I was walking home from the Rockefeller Center to the UES. I had on these silly, strappy sandals that gave me awful blisters but I was so in shock I didn’t notice until I peeled them off at home. Very minor compared to what many people suffered, but it’s the odd details you remember in those situations.

Oh, no, it’s fine to ask. He lives in Brooklyn, and you may not remember (or you may be too young,) but after the planes hit the towers and they fell, all traffic in and out of Manhattan was simply shut down. The bridges and tunnels were closed to vehicles, the subway, bus lines, and even the tramway to Roosevelt…

I lived in New York for most of the 2000s. They were not over it by October. The trauma of that experience was laid bare a lot during the 8 years I lived there, though less and less as time went on. The initial hours of the blackout in 2003 was a fun experience of minor hysteria.

“especially this dip shit son of a mob lawyer”

I honestly had someone on a board yesterday say that Trump’s Dr. was “the best in his field” and I was like, the field behind the asylum?

Couldn’t the news flash be that maybe you yourself are more susceptible to #3, while many other folks have a different experience entirely? Sounds to me like you might be more the problem than the solution.

Clinton has a politifact truthful rating that is close to Bernie Sanders’s rating. Is she honest all the time? No. However, she’s cast as this huge liar when in comparison to other politicians that isn’t even true.

I was on a jury with an asshat like this. some people just want to be contrary because it’s a situation where they feel they can act smarter and feel superior to others simply by taking a different position because they think that facts are subjective. and on top of it get attention from people who realize that the…

I live in a veerrrrry liberal neighborhood (like, a Jill Stein stronghold) and as soon as it was clear that Hillary was the nominee, there was a very vocal “We have to take a stand against oligarchy! #NeverHillary” minority, to which the response was basically, “Yo, Hillary ain’t perfect, but I have a vagina and/or…

Comments like these are sad. Michelle us not controversial and has never talked to policy. Basically this is a sexist argument to demean the credibility of the first female POTUS nominee as unlikable. It’s bullshit. HRC has a terrific platform and comes with a mountain of experience and preparedness. How this is…

Exactly. Lower voter turnout always favors the Republicans, hence the voter suppression tactics.

SO MUCH THIS.

Yup. I was saying how there literally is never going to be an ideologically pure candidate or vote, it just doesn’t exist, and that there’s no one person who can get us out of this mess we’re in.

SERIOUSLY. This is exactly what happened with Brexit, and I thought MAYBE we’d learn from watching the UK’s mistakes, but apparently not. All those people who were like “Well, I voted leave, but I didn’t actually WANT to leave! I wanted to protest this vaguely related thing that the government/the EU/someone on TV…

Protest votes will not get their message across. If Trump wins, nobody will be saying “oh damn, those protest votes though. They were right all along about...something?”. They will blame the win to a dozen other reasons. You don’t get to leave comments with your vote. Nobody can tell what you were protesting, or why,…
