The person asked for tasty beer. This is something that someone who drinks terrible beer would say. Some people like the flavor regardless of the buzz and consider it an added bonus, if anything. What if you only want to have one while out at dinner and have no desire at all to catch a buzz, for example. For those people,…

Try some of the sorghum-based stuff. Sprecher for example has one called Shakparo that is very flavorful and only 100 calories. There are a few others that can be had if Sprecher is not in your neighborhood. Notice that I only said that it's flavorful though, not that you will like the flavor. You might not. But it's not…

Because I found it interesting? Not everyone is motivated by hatred and malice.

On the other hand, what does it say when a simple, unarguable fact is laid out, and the readers take it as an insult? There's no opinion there. There is no malice. There is the simple statement, "When I enter input X into the link provided here, it gives me output Y." The interpretation of the results are more interesting…

Sweet. That's twice as high as the Honey Boo Boo Brigade. I appreciate you lending further evidence to my point by pointing this out. What does it say if you take all my posts and run it through? That's what I did for the original post. Seems pretty dumb to take a statistical sample size of about 7 words, but you probably…

No need to apologize. I'm just impressed that you were able to form a three-syllable word. Enjoy the show.

I was just pointing out a fact. You can try it yourself here: http://bluecentauri.com/tools/writer/sample.php You have to admit, it's pretty telling and hilarious that you consider > 2.7th grade to be pretentious genius level.

If you take all the comments from this thread written by people who think the show is great, then put it through an online writing analyzer (like the ones they use for the RNC and DNC speeches. Blue Centauri is the one I used), it comes out to a 2.7th grade level.

Would you be less of a person if you enjoyed shows about mutilating animals or making homeless people fight for food? Not that the two are directly comparable of course. But the notion that "What I watch doesn't lessen me" is ridiculous. Of course it can.

Not only did I grow up in the country, I live fairly close to Honey Boo Boo. No one around here acts like that. Even the article quoted on the front page has multiple people from the town saying, "Yeah, they're making us look bad because no one around here actually acts like that." It's basically a show about eccentric…

Really? You're 18. How many psychology classes would you say you've taken? Probably not as many as the psychologist who wrote the article. I get it, I get it. If I would only watch the highly edited show, I would see that them fancy book-larnin' eggheads don't know what they're talking about.

You read that article pretty quickly. Must be that thirst for knowledge.

There's a pretty good article that articulates many of the dangers here: http://psychologycorner.com/toddlers-and-children-beauty-pageants-%E2%80%93-risk-factors-for-severe-psychological-turmoils/ Of course, there's a chance no harm could be done. There's also a chance that deep and irreversible psychological harm can be…

Yeah, there have never been any 6 year old actors before. I'm out. This is ridiculous.

Just so you know, everything on that show is an act. Pretty sure you know this and this is a troll thread. But if not, there ya go.

Agreed. Half the show is devoted to making her look like something she isn't. Then they actively encourage the family to act like trash and give them a bunch of money for their effort. The whole thing is just sad. She was apparently in my town recently buying a wig (as all children do, of course). The store owner said the…

The derp is strong in this thread.

Yes, it does. If you have any evidence of otherwise, then by all means please share it. You lose a small amount of water and gain a great deal. Net positive water intake. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Mayo clinic says that any water-based beverage counts as water. http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/water/NU00283/ Lots of people on here will claim they know more than the Mayo Clinic, but they don't. Period.

No doubt it's a good exercise, but my heart rate monitor says I burn far more calories on an elliptical (at high resistance) than jumping rope.

You burn fewer calories sleeping than watching TV or reading. The difference is negligible, however.

You will probably lose weight. You won't lose any more weight than any other well-balanced diet with a calorie deficit.

Earlier in your rant, you put a lot of weight into "eating healthy". Losing weight is not synonymous with eating healthy. Honestly, I don't know why people even continue to make this comparison. Logical fallacy. Some people can be full after three plain cheeseburgers. Even if they weren't, a single plain McDonalds…

I have no idea how you read what I wrote and concluded this. I'm sorry.

Sugar is not the same as protein is not the same as veggies. This has nothing to do with calories.

I could provide a study with citations saying a calorie IS just a calorie. It would be just as valid as this one, and probably more helpful for weight loss.

It's mental. You didn't gain weight by eating 800 calories a day. You could do it before, and you can do it now. Eat.

Unless I'm missing something (which is possible), that's not how the site works. The site assumes that 3500 calories taken out of your diet will be 1 pound lost, regardless of whether it is fat or muscle. It's up to the user to educate themselves on the best way to maximize fat loss, if indeed that is their goal. The 3500…

Your BMR is around 1150 (Tools tab, top). Should be safe to stop eating at 1150 calories, assuming zero exercise. Your BMI is currently 20.9. At 102 lbs, your BMI will be 19.9. Underweight is < 18.5 and normal weight is 18.5-24.9. So you're still in the healthy range, but very close to underweight. Because of this, the…

For some people. For me, they are ridiculously low. There is no rule of thumb here. If you want to be accurate, get a heart rate monitor. If you're just going to make a guess based on what was already a guess, just throw in whatever number feels good.
