An unmedicated cook? Inconceivable.

Sites like this make me remember the brief period we had where internet speed outpaced website bloat. Everything just loads instantly. Outstanding.

I’ll always remember the animal cracker scene from that movie.

I had a suspicion when they called it the “Special Military Op Zone”. Classic colonizer verbiage.

Must be a stepdad!

THESE ARE NOT JOANNA EGGS!!!

I have found that some specific foods still give me a little heartburn, which I avoid. But yeah, I still don’t understand it. Especially the swallowing issues, but apparently not eating lets my body reset or something.

When I first started the diet it was 800-1500 calories per day, but now I snack while I’m cooking dinner, have double or triple portions, and have dessert right before the cutoff at 8:00. So probably about 2500.

There are still days where I only get 800-1000 calories, like if we’re at someone else’s house for dinner. After 8:00 my body just seems to accept its fate, so I’m not scrounging for food or hangry anymore.

I only eat from 5-8 PM. I started it for weight loss a few years ago, which worked alright. I lost 30 pounds, but have since gained a lot of it back. It turns out you can eat a lot in three hours once your stomach gets used to it.

However, before starting the diet I had chronic heartburn, acid reflux, and trouble swallowing sometimes. All three went away after a week on the diet, which is enough for me to keep going.

There are other minor benefits, like saving money/time from not eating so often. At this point I don’t feel hungry at all until 4:00, so I never shop hungry.

It’s like 50% of Eliezer Yudkowsky’s personality too, if you need more motivation to hate it.

Unrelated to your question, but do you get cost estimates while setting up the VM? I tried setting one up a while back but, despite picking all the free settings, it still estimated a cost of $2 per month. It never asked for CC info, but it still felt off.

Any idea why it would have been taken down? Doesn’t seem particularly offensive to anyone, even overly sensitive cops.

Exactly what I thought of. A pretty good show.

Thank you. I was a bit skeptical, but communism is such a boogeyman here and the RIAA (and MPAA) are so hilariously evil and out of touch that I was ready to fully believe it.

I’ve never understood this either. If someone is holding things in their arms it’s helpful, but if they have a cart then nothing is really gained. I can easily fill the conveyor belt by the time the person in front of me finishes paying. So getting started early feels like I am crowding them for no reason. Like flooring it between red lights; you’re just wasting energy to wait anyway.

Was it from the Octopus Lady ? She’s always great.

I wasn’t trying to correct you, I’m just an idiot who managed to spell it two different ways in the same post. It sounds like both spellings are valid, but I still shouldn’t mix-n-match.

I would argue it’s not only engrained in society, or even ingrained in the human psyche, it’s engrained in nature itself. Violence in nature is often rewarded with subordinance, and our evolutionary lineage has certainly continued it.

Overcoming that instinct globally is going to require a huge cultural shift, but we will be much better off if we do.

“Chat, is this real?”

Surely he just means that he left the church and is no longer a pastor at… 18!
