    The insult isn’t being gay, the insult is being a hypocrite.

    Do you actually know if he is gay, and therefore a hypocrite? Or are you just calling him gay because it would be funny?

    Either way, the insult is still being gay. They wouldn’t call his wife a beard if it wasn’t a bad thing. Maybe you use homophobia even against a target you think is valid. I mean, if he is such a bad guy, then surely his actions are enough to use against him and not make up random grade school nonsense? Even if he was a gay hypocrite, that’s irrelevant to why he’s bad.

    All of that is on top of the fact that by calling every homophobe gay, you are blaming homophobia on gay people.








  • well, it could be because everything she touched got demonstrably worse when she contributed. Huh…?

    Not really? Sorry you don’t like Lennon’s post-Beatles career, but he would take great umbrage to you saying she “ruined” him.

    as a Yoko Fan

    I’m actually not, just because I’m not a Yoko Hater doesn’t mean I like her.

    Artistically you’re going to say she added something GOOD to the performance?

    Not at all, it’s rare for me to enjoy experimental music, I can just compartmentalize Yoko the artist and not try and pathologize her as banshee that seeks to ruin everything she touches because she makes noises I don’t like.



  • Count your calories and see what isn’t worth it. Usually the best thing to cut first is liquid calories, when I realized I could basically have another meal a day if I quit soda, it made things a lot easier.

    I guess the most important thing would be to focus on lifestyle changes. You can have a super strict diet for months and lose tons of weight, but if you don’t incorporate that as a permanent change, it can be easy to gain it back while not in “diet mode.” Smaller changes that you stick with perpetually are better in the long run, even a 100 calorie daily deficit will eventually see results.

    Also perhaps get a kitchen scale for portion control, this kinda ties in with counting your calories, but after I started measuring meals it was also easier to not overeat.
