It depends. If you eat frequently, regardless of how much you eat, you’re going to feel hungry relatively soon at any given point. So, eating at a deficit just amplifies that. It’s hard to ignore.

However, I’m a big fan of fasting (though I haven’t been very consistent with it lately). Once my body eventually gets used to not eating multiple times per day and instead, say, eating one big meal once per day, I don’t feel hungry at all until dinner time.

Even if you do eat at a reasonable deficit, and your daily meal is healthy/has enough fiber/protein, it’s way more likely to satiate you.

Not really related to the post, but if I’m doing OMAD (one meal a day) consistently, fasting also makes me feel great. I get a noticeable increase in energy and mental clarity.

If it were that easy to find a good job, more people would have one.

That poor kitty. 😢 I can’t imagine letting either of our cats get to that point, and one of them is OBSESSED with food.

Made this the other day. Grilled cheese is good with cheddar—and it is, pretty objectively, “better”—but tbh I found myself pining for good ol’ velveeta.

Me too. That just sounds even more exhausting than my life already is

AskLemmy’s name is modeled after the Reddit thread AskReddit, which was basically the same concept.

In the future, I suggest reading a page’s description and rules before posting. The information is there for a reason, after all.

I do this too. Though instead of a hard-boiled egg, I like to fry one so the yolk is still a little runny, and put it on top.

Recently, I’ve been making a vinaigrette with olive oil, vinegar, dijon mustard, salt/pepper, honey, and Lao Gan Ma spicy chili crisp. It’s pretty damn good.

OOOOoOOOOOOoooo running into literally anyone from high school

OOOOoOOOOOOoooo being stuck in an unwanted conversation with a talkative stranger or distant relative

OOOOoOOOOOOoooo getting invited to a pyramid scheme party by a close friend

OOOOoOOOOOOoooo hearing an unexpected knock at the door

I suspect other insurance companies will be following suit :)

I’m so sorry that this happened to you. You are FAR from being overly sensitive about this, and any reasonable and decent would agree. Full stop.

It must’ve been so hard to hold it in this whole time. This is such a horrible thing to go through, especially for such a young child, and for such an extended period of time, no less. Fuck, I wish I could give child you a big hug.

I hope you know that this wasn’t your fault.

I’m sorry for the other little boy, too. I’m sure you’re right about his home life. It’s sick how abuse can spread so easily.

Used to be that all that was necessary to understand one’s implication when using the word was situational and maybe cultural context.

When do you feel this has changed?

Because from what I can tell, it still is that way. Both meanings of “weird” that we’re discussing (and, surely, the rest of its meanings) ARE the result of cultural changes.

Now, personal context is needed for both the speaker and the subject - you need to know the political/ethical proclivities of both the speaker and subject to know whether it’s meant as an insult or compliment.

You understood what those people meant when they used “weird” negatively. Did you know the political/ethical proclivities of every single person? Did you have to comb through their post/comment histories for information to be able to translate what they said? Or, did you infer what they meant based on the context of the post and the culture of the community?

Yes, non-native speakers will struggle more; this language is a particularly difficult one to learn, and envy no one who is trying to learn it as a 2nd/3rd/ect. language. English’s fluidity isn’t exactly something that is unique to it, though.

What do you propose is the alternative? We can’t exactly stop cultural evolution… why would we want to, anyway?

Really, the only difference now is that we have the internet, which just makes it change a lot more rapidly. It’s all still the result of culture, though.

👀 I’m sorry to say this, but I actually might be getting some version of these. It WOULD be cute, imo, and they (especially the brightly-colored ones) make me feel little nostalgic.

I lose my phone embarrassingly frequently. I have a wrist/necklace strap now, but I really don’t enjoy walking around with my annoyingly heavy phone dangling from my neck/wrist all the time, so I rarely actually use them.

I’ll probably be finding away to attach a keyring to my TV remote, too 🙄

Ah, that makes sense lol. Glad to help!

can’t have short hair at one of my jobs

I’m really curious about what kind of job that could be lol

Do you use a diffuser?

As originalucifer said, language is fluid; it always has been, and will continue to be so. Its mutability one of the many things that makes it so incredible.

Many, many words mean different things in different contexts. The fact that “weirdo” is used negatively sometimes does not mean it can’t/doesn’t get used positively elsewhere.

How could it be anything but a 10?

Trying to mentally/emotionally distance myself from my “customer service” job. Like, pretending I’m not a CSR, but that I’m playing the role of a CSR in a show, or something. After over 10 years working jobs like this, and for multiple reasons, the stress and asshole customers have been making me even even more miserable than necessary lately.

At the very least, this is helping me stay cool-headed and friendly enough to piss off angriest/most condescending callers, which can be pretty cathartic sometimes. It’s not so effective when it’s overwhelmingly busy, though.

Also, calling my lawyer, which was extremely stressful to me for literally no logical reason. Actually, I had a reason to look forward to it.

Technically, they just taste like pork, so you might be ok?

For just 30 minutes, no less???
