I was a pretty big fan of them when I was a teenager. Saw them live a couple of times. They were actually what prompted my eventual radicalization.

One of them (not the rapist; ugh... what a huge fucking disappointment that was) lived just a few houses away from us for a few years. I never built up the courage to approach him, though.

Edit: just read the article the other commenter posted. Didn't realize the rest of the band was (probably) a problem too. It's a bummer, but I can't really say I'm surprised.

You're overthinking it; those questions are totally irrelevant to the point. Though, to be fair, the question doesn't exactly specify this at face value.

It's really just a thought experiment: would you rather take your chances, alone, with a random bear/man in the woods? You don't get a weapon. You dont get to choose which man or which bear, or what they do. It's a gamble.

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.

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

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 :)

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!
