Yeah, actually I said a feature similar tot hat would be useful - (to star, like, or favorite certain posts). Pretty please?

Well, just remember there is no difference between giving someone nonverbal approval and taking the time to make a post about the approval - if one is a popularity contest, so is the other.

Some people do "go for walks" but it takes diet changes as well.. and not everyone has the time or energy to do some hardcore working out 3x a week. Motivation's also an issue.. "man, when I get off, I also have to go exercise.. urgh." &when you literally set a time for it, you recognize that that is a chunk of time out of your day. Having a set schedule for *anything* can suck the cool out of it.. even playing a cool board game. I recommend just doing it whenever - in between breaks, spontaneously, etc... not setting a time to go out for a walk. You'll hardly notice how much you've walked then.

And Renee Hendricks, sometimes people are from European countries... defense is defence... realize is realise... etc.
Yeah, but last time I checked, exercise is always exercise. I could be wrong (thinking not, however).

pretty much. Melissa hates running, so she found a program she does in her office. Squats and situps to start, she'll add pushups in a bit. The only reason these twats won't exercise is because they don't really want to. Spine the fuck up and admit it. Morons.

Fucking nuts. These people simply cannot get through the day without picking every goddamned thing apart to find something to whine about. Feeling downtrodden and put-upon is like oxygen to them.

It's a contest to them. A race to the bottom of the emotional barrel so they can see who is the Butthurt Emo Drama Queen for a Day.

FTR, yes, I know - defense is often spelled defence and there are a few other words where we Merikans spell it with an "s" and other countries spell it with a "c". I've yet (until today) seen "exercise" spelled "exersize".

Yep. The C. is helpful for that reason. Also, "bynkii" is a good search term for me.

You can be sure that she makes up for the lack of exercise by eating like a brayton.
Hmmm, I thought "brayton" was a unit of measurement. One millibrayton, for example, equals one double cheeseburger dipped in batter and then deep-fried.

So is a Bray-ton now an accepted unit of weight? Like, shit-loads and sweet fuck all?
Just make it metric so it sounds more sciency and shit.

I have not read -everything-, but based on the available evidence, I believe it is safe to assume that A+ers are nothing but attention seeking whores who invent reasons to feel victimized and gain even more attention.

You are right.

Speaking of exercise, does anyone else go snowshoeing? I am privileged enough to own a pair of second hand snow shoes that I got from Play It Again Sports and I went for a saunter around the local reservoir tonight. Fucking awesome exercise, low impact, great views over the city and I really worked my butt cheeks. Highly recommend it if there is snow where you live.

As someone who had to will his way back into his routine after the incident with what I will now refer to as "The Dillahunty Driver", bikes 50 miles a week minimum, summer, winter rain and snow, in accordance with Rule # 17 "If you bike in bad weather you are a badass, period", which is a subset of Rule # 9 "Toughen the fuck up". lifts weights 3 days a week MWF and does cardio rowing TTH and, just today, biked 10 miles, did an hour on the rowing machine and put in a full day where I just woke up from a dead sleep after eating a Lean Cuisine for dinner, I must say:

It's not worth it. Have another brownie you fat, whiny slag.

I am starting this year. I just walked 8.5 k through the snow a couple of weeks ago. I did about 2k of it through 2-4 feet of snow in the middle of the night, out in the woods. Long story...but I am tougher than I thought.

Karma would be for posters, not posts. So Abbie, franc, SN, welch, etc., would have their karma at or close to zero, while colon and some of our other favourites would be up in the stratosphere.

Up-voting posts might be helpful though, especially if one could search by rating.
So Abbie etc would be "karma lamas"?

to clarify, I walked that 8.5k -without- the benefit of snowshoes.

next time I go out, it will be with the snowshoes

I got some nice ones, made in Seattle, by http://cascadedesigns.com/msr

Lightweight, and a good price too, only 120$

I'm confused. Why is Eddie Izzard posting on Skepchick complaining about not being able to exercise? Doesn't he run marathons?

Well, just remember there is no difference between giving someone nonverbal approval and taking the time to make a post about the approval - if one is a popularity contest, so is the other.
Yes, there is a difference if the stats on up-voting can be searched.

1 mile in snowshoes is 2-4 foot of snow is the equivalent of about 2-3 miles of regular walking IME (admittedly limited so far).

to clarify, I walked that 8.5k -without- the benefit of snowshoes.

next time I go out, it will be with the snowshoes

I got some nice ones, made in Seattle, by http://cascadedesigns.com/msr

Lightweight, and a good price too, only 120$

Lifestime warranty ftw.
[/spoiler]

Cool. Which model?
1 mile in snowshoes is 2-4 foot of snow is the equivalent of about 2-3 miles of regular walking IME (admittedly limited so far).

Oh and

Rule #81 // Don’t talk it up.
Crashes may only be discussed and recounted when the rider or spectator has ended up requiring hospitalization. Otherwise revert to Rule #5.

And I have a semi-literate note from GWU trauma to prove it.

Damn, you're good. I couldn't be bothered to look up the actual numbers:

Velominati The Rules
The weather one has to be adjusted for places like FL and the desert. Fuck, if you avoided oven-hot days here, you'd never leave the house.

Damn, looks like I pulled the trigger on the Nelson Muntz "HA! HA!" graphic prematurely.
Don't you Nelson Muntz my P90X!

What a loser! If he'd continued to sit around feeling powerless, he would have started to lose limbs within a few years. And thus LOSE PRIVILEGE, which is his duty as a menz.

That cunt should have stayed fat and inactive until he was a fucking egg, being rolled around by his family. Only then would he have been able to say: "Yes. Now I know how the wimminz feel."

I watched something incredible today (and this has fuck all to do with FfTB or A+, btw) - one woman by the name of Hannah Hart who has "My Drunk Kitchen" on Youtube (vids I love) raised nearly $80K in less than 10 hours for a tour she is planning in April. Pretty amazing. And part of my "1 frivolity a day" to keep myself sane until the end of the month.

Just thought I'd share.

I decided to start doing P90X three weeks ago. You know what pushed me to suck it up and finish my workouts? There's a guy with a fake leg jumping higher than me.
Depending on what kind of fake leg he's got, it could be an advantage. Some of those are pretty badass. I'm not going to lie - if it was legal, I'd have my legs removed and get prosthetics.

Karma is a can of worms. It would be good to have some kind of highlight tag for extraordinary and important posts - but karma usually devolves to hissy bitchslap nonsense.

Yeah, at least in freezing cold weather -- for which I just got my new Under Armor Cold Gear balaclava -- you can adopt the general rule "If you are not cold when you first get outside, you'll be hot riding". In a hot, humid, just nasty DC swamp summer where dumping ice water over your head does little but waste water, you're basically fucked. Then the rule is "Rinse out and hang your kit when you get in, otherwise it'll smell like ass 8 hours from now when you put it back on".

Hahaha, that comment about exercising is so pathetic - if this person has time to post useless comments like that on skepchick while paying for a computer and internet access then she definitely has time and money for exercise. Its one of the most crucial things one needs to do to optimize physical/mental well being, and she is coming up with excuses about it. Clowns.

Yeah, not one of the ones that gives a jumping advantage, looks like, but not one that in any impedes him, either.

Oh hey people...TRIGGER WARNING: apparently Rickrolling can be traumatic for people who endured the cold, dark apocalypse of the final days of the Richard Dawkins forums. So if you have a desire to bring back 2008 era internet memes involving Rick Astley music videos, be aware of the potential pain and suffering and potential internet-PTSD you may trigger in those survivors.
