- Comment on I (M32) gained 140lbs in a year from bad choices, almost all in my belly (now 69-inches) due to rare genetics. With my unique proportions, I’ve outgrown most off-the-rack clothing options. Advice? 3 days ago:
To physically lose weight boils down to simple arithmetic. Calories in minus calories out. If that number is positive, you’ll gain weight. If it’s negative you’ll lose weight. Calories out mainly being your exercise. If that is difficult, you need to reduce calories in. It really is that simple.
The problem comes with aspects of health that aren’t physical. You clearly touched on a number of issues that drove you to this spiral. You need to make sure your mental health is in check. Address the mental health issues while you tackle the physical issues.

As a citizen you should be safe. Are you white? That makes it a little safer. Probably wouldn’t hurt if you’re attractive and female…

fuck I hate this timeline
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 4 weeks ago:
All are republican except for the 12th in line which is RFK Jr listed as independent. The list goes to 18.

But he also says it stupid like them, in a way that can’t be faked. That’s why they love him. It’s the classic “wanting to hear your opinion in someone else’s voice”. They want to hear their shitty opinions in someone else’s voice. Except because they’re idiots, they get grammar and syntax wrong. Or they ramble through a dozen conspiracy theories in a single run on sentence.

Intent could matter, if they addressed their actions after the fact. Acknowledging that it looks bad and affirming your position to the contrary is the minimum. He has not done that.

I’d argue some of this depends on how old you are. Hypothetically if you’re very young and there’s a lot of deeper issues between your father and mother, it might not be best to try to explain a lot of that to you. Young kids aren’t going to really grasp the nuance of certain things or shouldn’t be burdened with something like “your mother was horribly abusive to me and also cheating, and I needed a way out as I was emotionally wrecked myself”. That example is a bit extreme to be fair. But from that you might get a sense for when that scenario should be revealed to the child (likely as an adult), or depending on how far reality departs from that example when would be an appropriate time.
Now on the other end of the hypothetical spectrum, if you’re older and your dad was just an asshole cheating for fun, I can see that being a justifiable reason to cut them off (situationally dependent).
Odds are you land somewhere between these. If you don’t have friends or other family to talk to about it, it might behoove you to try and get some professional counseling. And understand that someone else could go through the exact same situation as you and come to a different conclusion and that doesn’t mean either of you are wrong.

Height matters too. You can have text on the right be “first” but it needs to be obviously higher on the page.
- Comment on Is there a less stinky way to cook broccoli? 2 months ago:
It’s different. You posted elsewhere that broccoli had sulfurophane compounds which contribute to the smell. Sulfur is pretty universally stinky. It’s in the rotten egg smell, skunks, and fireworks. So if sulfur is involved, it will likely have a strong odor. Cilantro is a genetic issue. There’s a gene on the 11th chromosome that allows a small percentage of people to taste the aldehyde components of the plant giving it a soap-like taste to those people.
- Comment on Is there a less stinky way to cook broccoli? 2 months ago:
I took it more of as “broccoli smells good” rather than it doesn’t smell at all. Which I agree with personally. However I’m also not dating op so I’m sure they will give my opinion the appropriate consideration in their decision.

Cheating on your wife with a porn start and illegally paying her hush money gets you the white house.

Maybe he means failed to enact meaningful change? I don’t much had changed internally for insurance companies other than getting a legal basis to stamp out any vocal dissent as a “threat”.

Man, youre getting really worked up over this. Reminds me of a certain single letter conspiracy theorist group.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
No. But you’re crying to us because they didn’t. Suck it the fuck up and actually do a little research yourself. “Trust but verify.”

It’s not that video’s job to provide that counter. That’s yours. This isn’t being published in a scientific journal or something. It’s a YouTube video.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
That’s like saying a prosecutor should also present the defense. It’s not their job. That’s yours. You need to judge how accurate the information is and find ways to verify it. Qs blindly accept any information their side presents without any attempt to critically assess its validity. They also ignore contrary information with similar effort. It’s what makes them so dangerous. A bad actor on “their side” can manipulate them simply by speaking. A good actor on the “other side” could be 100% factual with ample sourcing and citing and will never convince them of the truth.
- Comment on Is there any non-zero possibility Musk was not doing a Hitler Salute? 3 months ago:
He’s like only part way there. I grew up in the 90s too when being gay was “bad”. In my younger years I would have absolutely said I’m not homophobic but would have made damn sure no one thought I was. Spoiler alert. It was homophobic even if I didn’t realize it. However in my older years I recognize that for what it was.

How the hell do they explain his “love” then? Seems like they create more problems than they fix with this crap.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if you are a witness or whistleblower who's adversary was a very big corporation (such as boeing), what measures could you take to prevent yourself from being "suicided"? 4 months ago:
There are apps that will upload video to the web live while recording in the background. Don’t have any interactions with random strangers that you aren’t recording. Have security cams at your house recording 24/7 saving remotely to a secure server.
- Comment on Crisco in a Terracotta: Decoding the (Mostly) Useless Candle Meme 4 months ago:
Yeah. The effects of convection from an uncapped candle will spread the heat to the room and ceiling much faster than when trapped. The pot absorbing the heat traps it and changes the heat transfer to radiative heating which will csuse a lower convective heat transfer coefficient when heating the air around it.

Unfortunately the prices of shit have skyrocketed too. In these trying times austerity is everyone’s responsibility. Rather than buying a shit sandwich at the store have you tried making them at home? Maybe the best you could afford is sleep for dinner?

No you asshole. EMTs should make more than that. Why aren’t you fighting for everyone to make more?
- Comment on Do gangs "jump in" new recruits? Or is that just for movies and tv shows? If so why do they do that kinda seems anti productive. 5 months ago:
You seen Fight Club? Making them stand on the porch while they were hit and berated was part of the initiation. It showed they were committed. Similar thoughts to gangs. Unsure how prevalent it still is.

Interesting model blizz. Create a game. Build a base. Destroy the game and lose part of that base. Re-release original game to claw back former base.

I had jumped back in when tbc classic was released. I wound up on a dead server. It made end game content essentially impossible. I was hoping to move right into wotlk classic at release as that was my jam back in the day. Except they weren’t going to include the dungeon finder or cross realm groups meaning it would still be a dead server with no chance at end game content. I was done with pointlessly dumb leadership. Unsubbed and found a private server that hits all the right buttons.
