Yeah, I love it and actually prefer it to my old reddit experience for general browsing.

What isn’t quite there yet is the ability to like, sit down all day and scroll and post in a community dedicated to my current hyperfixation of the week. Be it guitar maintenance, some indie game, or whatever.

But reddit also didn’t have that when I started using it. Excited to hang here and watch the garden grow

Oh now I see what you’re saying, thanks. Yeah I thought maybe there was something about showering I’d been overlooking all these years lol

I’ve been looking into some smart lights!

But I’m a bit confused, what do you use them for in the shower?

For salt I just grabbed a small diner style salt shaker, it’s really cute and makes it easy to control portions

A nice pepper grinder! Makes every meal better

Baba is you. Every couple months I’ll take a crack at it, maybe solve 1 or 2 more screens, get stuck again. Love the soundtrack

Here is a link based more on nutrition

The short version is that saturated fats generally have a negative effect on cholesterol, and the recommendation is to limit your intake. They’re popular because they’re found in many animal products, and have useful properties (such as often being solid at room temperature, like butter)

Then unsaturated fats are pretty much the opposite, whether poly or mono unsaturated. They have a generally positive effect on health. Use these when possible.

Most sources of fats are a blend of the different types, so don’t worry excessive about it.

Oh and then trans fats are the worst for you by far and are banned from sale in many places, although you can actually create them in your own kitchen I believe via some methods of deep frying

That’s where I’m at as well. Could go so many different ways; how do I know someone is intelligent? Do their conversations feel particularly deep to me? Do they invest their money well? Good at memorizing baseball facts?

At a certain point yeah, obviously if they just have wind blowing around inside their head it’s unlikely that I would find them desirable as a partner. So in a way it is very important to me. But the vast majority of people are capable of nurturing loving and rewarding relationships rooted in who they are as a whole, whether or not they are remarkably intelligent. So in another way it’s not important at all

Someone recently spammed a popular community with about a hundred copies of a hate message + an unmarked nsfw image. I reported it as I’m sure everyone else who saw them did, taken down very swiftly, thanks mods.

But in that case as with many others I think the goal literally is just to put hate and the threat of violence before people’s eyes. Even if only for a few minutes, maybe a vulnerable person sees it and it ruins their day. Real scum of the earth mentality

Nw lol, truly a symphony of confusion today

Yeah yeah, I bet things would have been different if you were on board the titanic that night

For me it was about 2 months to start seeing subtle changes. After like 8 months I think I was starting to look somewhat “fit”, then after like 1.5 years I think I started to have that “muscular” look

It sounds like you pretty much figured out what was holding you back. It’s frustrating to feel like you have wasted time, but good on you for pushing through! This stuff is genuinely hard to learn, lots of conflicting advice out there

Improving my mental health helped me start exercising, actually. But also now I think staying committed to it generally assists in keeping me mentally well. There are tons of things I do that are somehow easier for me to execute in the context of of training instead of just for their own sake (for whatever reason), such as getting consistent sleep and cutting back on drinking.

Nothing lol. Same as how every website works

Gosh yeah that one in particular so many people struggle with. Actually bodybuilding is one of my interests that I mentioned above. Once you look the part a lot of people like to just randomly talk to you about fitness/food/weightloss lol.

I’ve noticed that almost everybody who says they “cannot lose weight” believes that they are already eating very little. 95% of the time I just nod solemnly. Almost nobody wants advice or would be willing to take it if offered, they just want to vent and feel understood, and that’s fine.

…but gosh is it frustrating to see so many people give up, and then come up with outlandish justifications as to why it’s just “impossible for some people”. The mind will do amazing things indeed to shield itself from confronting hard truths

I think anybody can become like this if they immerse themselves in a bubble. People have an amazing capacity to brainwash themselves and learn the language of their in-group. Then when they encounter the real world and start spewing their jargon that nobody understands we get stuff like this.

It’s sad but you see it all the time. Basically how every cult works. Or really even how all learning works; I could produce some equally non-coherent strings of words that make perfect sense within the context of my interests. The main difference being that those areas of interest do not exist in isolation from or in opposition to the rest of society. That’s the biggest red flag

This is what comes after.

Jean memes I presume

Their name is censored on the post but visible in multiple places on the actual document. Not sure of exact censoring policies but just a heads up
