The Big Cat

Oh, sweet !@#$ing Christ.

From the first sentence, the person is either a hopelessly hot mess, or an unmitigated troll. Either way...yikes.

Restaurants don't mandate you clean your plate (a). I rarely do because (b): LEFTOVERS. Again, will power.

I gained a bunch of weight from 2010-2011. From 2011-2012 it was impossible for me to lose weight. Literally, impossible. So, during my annual physical, I asked my doctor to do blood work. Turns out my thyroid levels were off the charts. "High" TSH levels would be like 10, mine were 282...my doctor was shocked and I'm something of a legend in the endocrine lab. Now I take a synthroid, every morning. I will for the rest of my life. It's cheap, but it keeps my body functioning (at 282, weight gain wasn't my only symptom, believe you me.) And you know what? Even though it's easier to exercise now, even though I have lost weight, and will continue to do so, it's still just a little bit harder for me than for someone with an endocrine system in ship-shape. Because of that, I work a little harder, eat a little less. Is that fair? Probably not. Is that life? You're !@#$ing-a right it is. But I didn't just quit on it and except a life being overweight. I consulted my doctor, got fixed and now work a little harder. These comments piss me off because people can point to all these conditions that make them fat, but rather than change them, they just lean on them, like crutches. They end up making the author's point for him!

Tough to tell which side of stupidity this particular commenter is on: Lionel Shriver is an ignorant jerk. You try getting raped daily and abused as a child and not pick up an eating disorder you stupid punk. Overeating is what humans do when they try to compensate for things that are missing in our lives. If you don't get enough sleep you will eat to stay up late. If you don't get exercise you won't have enough endorphines and you will overeat. If you go to restaurants who serve food in portions that are big enough to justify the prices they pay because they have to make rent your concept of portion size will be destroyed. and when you have parents who work 12 hours a day, have children and stressed about money, the quick and easy fix is to take a little solace in food. We have become a society of human doings, not human beings and we are all pressed beyond our limits with respect to our time, energy and emotional resources. There are a lot of good reasons why our nation is becoming obese but willpower has little to nothing to do with it! BOYCOTT TIME MAGAZINE FOR PROMOTING SUCH STUPIDITY! Honestly, it really bothers me that people so passionately refute the author's way of thinking. If you can justify the unhealthy lifestyle that leads to obesity, then those acknowledging said obesity and subsequent lack of health are likewise justified, right? I mean, that's totally !@#$ing sane, right? If you're going to give a million !@#$ing excuses as to why you're fat, you can't denigrate the people calling you fat!

13 year old me: Mmmmmmmmmm Yasmine Bleeth

A 14 point margin, sure. But arguably the widest 14 point margin in the history of sports. That game was an utter, nuclear meltdown. We never had a prayer.

I share this sentiment, and also have, on record. I maintain: If we had a defensive coordinator operating at even 50% competency last year, Fitz/Gailey are both still with the Bills organization. They were not the problem. It was our defensive scheme (or lack thereof) and execution (or lack thereof)--both of which I credit at least 75% to the coaches (or lack thereof)

Keys to what? A winning season? Playoffs? Super Bowl? Winning season--Mario, Dareus, Woods Playoffs--Kiko, EJ, Spiller Super Bowl--EJ, Mario, Spiller (I thought about this for about twenty seconds)

Here he is on Easter Sunday tickling the ivory: And again at a Brian Moorman charity event:

Sigh...it was a good ass chart.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah...this conversation started moments after the schedule was released. I made a very elaborate chart. It's gone now: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/157502-6-games-with-teams-off-mini-or-full-bye/#entry2784851

Simple: Women buy shampoo. Lots of shampoo.

Ha, well...yeah. I think that's a word ("rude") that's so encompassing and so important, but so terribly underused nowadays. He was being "loud." He was being "obnoxious." He was being "uncooperative." He was being "a dick." He was being RUDE. "Rude" means unmannerly, i.e. in opposition to our codified set of manners. When you tell someone they're being "rude" you're saying "hey, you're not supposed to act that way," suggesting there's a way we're all supposed to act, and this aint it. All other descriptors, while perhaps more accurate, don't imply wrongdoing the same way "rude" does, IMO. And it's high time we bring the word back!

I was 11-14 at the height of popularity for: Pam Anderson, Carmen Electra and Jenny McCarthy. At least you guys can revisit adolescent spank banks without regret...

I wish they would just tell passengers the truth and not blatantly lie. The risk of phones and other electronic devices "interfering" with flight controls is laughably small, I'm told by a Motorola engineer. However, the risk to oneself and other passengers should something go wrong during takeoff and landing when a user's attention and focus are elsewhere, that I get. So just tell the passengers: Please bear with us until we're at cruising altitude. The captain would prefer to have your undivided attention in the event of a takeoff or landing emergency. I understand the airlines wanting to keep calm the herd, but they fully acknowledge emergencies and in-flight complications anyways, what's one extra layer to ensure safety/not lie to your patrons?

At least you have a calm, painless death to look forward to.

God I hate the !@#$ing Patriots*

Holy **** balls.

And their marketing teams have no say in product development. In other words, the company will do what the company will do, popularity and feasibility be damned.

Well shiver me timbers.

Uh...reddit rules the Internet. This should come as no surprise.

A few weeks ago our carbon monoxide detector was beeping. I called 311. They told me to hand up and call 911. Even after being told to. Even with my life on the line, I still felt weird calling 911. Turns out it was the batteries. (unit was beeping unlike the manufacturers note said it would be in the event of battery failure)

I think you're being a bit harsh, honestly. While wins have been hard to come by, full-on blowouts have been equally rare.
