Every time certain segments of society speak it causes small potions of the audience’s brains to drip out of their ears. These bits are scraped up off the floor and, after mixing well with some tapioca, come to plausibly resemble the mental functions of the person last heard speaking.

If one wants to be an ‘aktually’ arse then take note that ‘declawing’ is actually a much more precise term than ‘mutilation of extremities’ which could perfectly well mean putting their tail in a wood chipper and be technically correct
- Comment on Beans 3 days ago:
On a whole I don’t support any sort of unnecessary bodily modification, declawing, tail bobbing, circumcisions, or whatever.
What bothers me is when people find it necessary to interject some unneeded drivel because of some passing word that’s a perfectly well accepted term.

Consistency is key. For many the problem is they think of it as something you need to do for a while and then go back to ’normal’ when really you should be looking for a new normal.
Apps can help, the best one is the one you actually use honestly and routinely.

Unless you’re a huge person to start or have massive water weight you don’t. A pound of fat is approximately 3,000 calories, so you would need an almost 3K deficit every day to drop that, and since most people eat around that much as their normal intake that’s an extreme amount that could be deemed starvation.
Now if you happen to be huge where the normal body functioning uses well past that then maybe, but if you’re anywhere below 300 lbs that would be a crazy amount for 2 months.

No idea, never had a reddit account and not sure there’s a place on the fedi to support a 3rd party site. Just seems an odd thing for a first post on what’s functionally a reddit alternative to ask how to get back on reddit.

- Comment on Is ice heavier than water? 1 month ago:
Would depend, are you saying the same volume in same state or different states? If you freeze 1 volume of liquid water and compare it to a liquid same volume of water I would question it. Is the trapped air in ice from the ambient environment or is it dissolved air expelled from the water as the molecules lock together?
Would be interesting to freeze two samples in sealed containers with one being in a vacume.
- Comment on What are therapists allow to share about their clients? 1 month ago:
All medical journals and manuals where at some point someone’s story, or an aggregation of multiple stories perhaps. What differentiates it is the connection to a person. It’s plenty fine to talk in the abstract about cases for things like instruction or peer input, but only those that are a proper member of the care team, or are given specific disclosure access, should be able to attribute the discussion to an individual.
- Comment on GOG is Getting Acquired By Its Original Co- Founder: What It Means For You 1 month ago:
I fail to see the problem with having modern games on there? It’s still the same DRM free platform regardless.
Plus, for a large part those older games where also made by mega corps of the day, some still around others faded away, but hardly a collection of indi devs across the board.
- Comment on How do you "feel" gender? 2 months ago:
Myself as a cis male don't particularly major 'need' to associate with the stereotypical guy things, and enjoy plenty of things historically associated with women. That said though I feel my more native strengths are things attached to men.
Why makes for a gender though seems much more tied to society and the expectations of each, and are really a fluid thing that changes as we go along in the world.

The number of songs on places that are 'not available in my region' despite being saved previously when played might dispute that.

Start with he premise that energy is not created or destroyed, it only changes state. Pushing processors to perform a task uses energy and creates heat to rearrange numbers and pixels. Combing through huge numbers of data vits takes a lot of energy. If you've ever worked with systems larger than a desktop you know how much they can draw.
My whole home lab uses about 700 watts for basic server duties. To power a single 3090 GPU to run some larger models my PC needed a 1000 watt PSU. Extrapolate that out to a commercial size org and you can see where the major power draw comes in.

They're one of the most respected sources, it makes sense to link to them rather than some semi-tabloid where possible.

- Comment on When a man says anything bad about women online or criticize them based on his experience, Comments: 2 months ago:
I'll give ya a hint, women, or any other involuntarily grouped together association of peoples (gender/race/sexuality/etc) are not a monolithic block that should be generalized in some fashion.
Taking issue with A woman is one thing, saying ALL women is another. An individual is not the standin for the group.
Groups that one wilfully joins who act badly as a standard protocol can be shit on all you like. Nobody is going to flame you for shit talking a nazi, but saying 'women (or pick a group) are like this' always has exceptions.

An interesting point, to some extent I think that response can be strongly correlated to generational lines. Those of us born not of this century can be a bit curmudgeonly and take it as an attack on the self rather than seeing it for the impact on society.
The phrase 'man up' has a different connotation when it was instilled from a young age to mean 'be strong' rather than being seen as an isolationist closed off mindset.
It takes time, even for those willing to learn.

Ooh! It seems 'King' tried to pull the 'women bad' card, and I just don't think that'll work out for him...

The words of a panicked person trying to thing of the questionable (and wholely unrelated) distraction they can on the spot. If you know this is coming you should probably be prepared at least.

Guess that'd depend on how muchos needed/taken and how well it's absorbed. Far as I've ever seen the seasonal affective disorder (usually what people look at for D-ficiencies) tends to be a subtle shift rather than a solid good/bad moods.
