I have no idea how I got here. Forgive me, I'm sleepwalking.

When doing workouts I usually use the "watts" reading on the stationary bike to gauge effort. I often wonder how much total energy a 40 min cycle class produces with a room of like 15 people. I feel like I can now calculate how long and how hard 15 cyclists need to go to charge your car!

But they NEVER make that argument. It's always blah, blah appeal-to-nature fallacy, blah, blah chemicals bad.

This particular debate is unironically one of the top annoying ones for me. The best arguments for stopping water fluoridation in certain areas is that it doesn't accomplish much and is a waste of money (often toothpaste contains a rather large amount of fluoride).

I thought it would be freeing to go anonymous again but it has a host of its own problems.

Good point, I'd never thought about the goading angle before. As for me, I'm far too boring to be doxxed but I have friends who would find me here and are very... 2020-minded, shall we say.
The crime of following people like Helen Lewis or Jesse Singal would kill what's left of a few friendships.

Im just imagining some poor lady worrying that on top of all the stress and nerves of keeping pace for the final push is now wondering if the boyfriend is lurking at the finish line ready to pounce...

I think George Clanton really brings a lot to the band. They just wouldn't be the same without him.

Technology is the problem, as usual. We just simply can't handle these powers!

Yes to Lemon Jelly! So many memories... Hearing "Page One" for the first time was a kind of formative moment for me.

Thank you for the gift link! I tried to read this earlier today. I suppose I should just go subscribe after hitting my head on the pay wall so many times...

Call me an old fart, but when I hear someone say "at just 14, she’s got it..." a few quiet alarm bells go off.

It's been a few days but I'm still randomly remembering and chuckling about this.

The best way to watch season 2 is to get a severance implant procedure done so you can watch all the good bits and dump all the annoying chaff on an innie.

To me this stuff is always just both; electing to "degrade" oneself is a power of its own. We're often into messy sex stuff for the same reason we're into 3000 calorie desserts: it's just fun to indulge sometimes. Humans be humans.

When thrifting I kind of noticed this too but as a guy who is fashion inept it just amounted to me finding an old "M" t-shirt that fit perfectly like a modern smaller one and saying HUH, THAT'S WEIRD.

Funny to me that someone would sign up for an annual subscription without being familiar with the content.

For some reason I read your initial post to mean that you were competing against some other version of yourself that exists inside your own head. Your mom's advice sounded very confusing at first...

Ironically this also describes season 2 of Severance.

I'm sure there is a good economic reason for it but I hate how television insists on taking an idea and stretching it out for miles. I'm just sticking to movies: taking a good idea and BAM all crafted and rolled out in a couple of hours.
