badatom posted:So I'm still trying to understand why it looks like Ohio is suddenly trending red. We went for Obama +5 in 2008 and +3 in 2012, and Hillary has had an equivalent ground game and presence here. And John Kasich was one of the few holdouts that never endorsed Trump, for what that's worth. I guess my question is, how much should I drink on election night? The real, non-goony answer is that the Ohio Democratic Party is terrible, inept, and can't run campaigns to save their lives. Chris Redfern completely ran it straight into the ground, and David Pepper hasn't done anything to fix it. Against an unpopular incumbent John Kasich, they chose a nobody county commissioner. Against empty suit Rob Portman the choices were a Cincinnati city councilman and Ted Strickland, who was voted out as governor in the middle of the recession. Sherrod Brown is the only competent person in Ohio politics at the state or national level.

Deified Data posted:This whole thing made my blood boil the other day. Then the county commissioners for the rural areas surrounding Missoula lobbied and organized public meetings against it, because what right do people in Missoula have to invite Islamic terrorists into their midst when one day those terrorists might leave the Missoula city limits and inflict themselves on the good Christian folk of Ravalli County? Watch the video on this news report for people claiming that accepting the refugees means that 'ISIS will come after our women' and demanding to know what the refugee advocates will say 'to the family of the first victim': http://www.nbcmontana.com/news/keci/crowd-turns-out-for-hearing-on-ravalli-co-letter-opposing-syrian-refugees-1/10396053

My issue is that my wife can't cook so I'm forced to cook everything if we want to eat and don't get a break ever. And that's not "oh she's not cooking the stuff I like" can't cook, it's the "she literally almost burned down the New Yorker Hotel" when she lived there for college can't cook. Like boiling water for pasta is the height of her cooking skill.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Multivitamins don't work at all. Different vitamins are absorbed in different ways. By skipping veggies you're also missing out on fiber, which is hugely important for such a long list of things I deleted it and typed this instead. Multivitamins are the shotgun approach of dietary supplements. You can eat them with a meal to increase absorbency, but you're basically flooding your digestive system with nutritional requirements and hoping some of sticks instead of washing out ... ... POLITICS!

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:This was also a Mr. Brontosaurus (Tiny Husband?) problem and I have so many strategies. I would suggest starting out thinking in an additive way about your diet rather than subtractive. Add more vegetables, try to work your way up to at least five or six that you can stand. Mr. B had big success with spinach/yogurt smoothies, sliced bell peppers, leafy greens, and zucchini/yellow squash/eggplant minced up really fine in rice and pasta dishes. I've lost nearly forty pounds since February. I had to employ a number of strategies to actually make it work and they didn't all come together until just a few months ago: 1. Substitution. Find and eliminate my high calorie foods and put in something that I still like so eating is still fun and not a chore. 2. Manage hunger. If said foods leave me hungry at the end of the day I'm doing something wrong. Lots of protein helps. Lower carbs. 3. Exercise. Before my mom got sick and I had to take care of her I was walking at least three miles a day, and sometimes up to and maybe even past fifteen. 4. Count calories. The big one. The only thing that will lower your weight in the end is making sure you burn more calories than you take in. Period. Find your BMR and eat fewer calories than that. All of the above isn't as effective if you're not doing this. I'm supposed to eat 2350 calories a day, but aim for 1950 plus exercise. In doing this I lose just over three pounds a month as long as I'm diligent before exercise. And that's how I lost it and continue to lose it. I hope to lose another forty before I'm done.

Schizotek posted:Progress doesn't exist. There is no platonic ideal that society marches towards. In all likelyhood in 200 years we'll be seen as backwards monsters for not throwing fags down a well. I'm just making a very conservative prediction here: things are going to continue roughly on the current trend. Which has, so far, been upwards. The Romans were horrible, medieval folks less so, people in the 19th century less so again, and here we are, much better again.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Mr. Brontosaurus is the same way, 6'5 and finding it vastly preferable to build muscle with cheese fries than stop eating them. Smart man. In college I used to go to The O regularly and there's nothing short of triathlon training that will counteract that level of greasy food. Pretty sure a small fry, without a side of melted cheese, was easily 2-3000 calories. Holy poo poo they tasted so good though. Getting in shape is great and people need to do it if they haven't. I finally started working out again this year after being pretty lazy on it and the difference is noticeable pretty quickly. I don't lift as much as I should but even just doing a lot of cardio helps a ton and it's nice when you're back in a position of being able to run or jog for extended periods of time and not be dying out of breath after 30 seconds.

By skipping veggies you're also missing out on fiber, which is hugely important for such a long list of things I deleted it and typed this instead. Multivitamins don't work, IF you are already getting an appropriate amount of vitamins from your normal diet. Harvard Med School recommends a daily multivitamin if your diet does not regularly meet daily vitamin requirements (ie High protein or fats diet) The fiber point is very true. But from a strictly technical standpoint, you don't actually need fiber to lose weight. Although it does help in about a million other indirect ways and increase feelings of fullness.

Oxxidation posted:I think that a lot of bad vegetable eating habits from my generation gets passed down from our parents, who got it passed down from their parents, who often thought the best way to cook a vegetable would be to boil it until the kitchen smelled like it had been taken over by sad, flatulent ghosts. I barely ate greens at all when I was young because my dad hated them and swore he wouldn't force them on his kids (he's also in his late fifties and so physically fit he's literally confused and frightened teams of cardiologists, so I guess he ducked out on the consequences on his diet due to living with cheat codes). Growing up, the vegetables my parents served with dinner were either cooked from frozen and drowned in cheese sauce, or out of a can (and then drowned in margarine). Once I started learning to cook for myself and came home and started cooking for them, I think they were shocked at how good vegetables taste when you don't destroy them. Grilled vegetables are a summer mainstay for my parents now, brushed lightly with olive oil then salted/peppered. They love them. Even got Dad to eat and enjoy Brussels sprouts once when I roasted them in a super-hot oven, which turns them from farty cabbage balls into delicious, savory, crispy goodness. Of course it means my grandma can't stand to eat at my parents' house anymore because any vegetable that isn't mush is "undercooked" but she's terrible (for a whole lot of reasons) anyway

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:I do understand the logic there and I try to take the same approach when I can, but invariably it gets thrown back in my face. It's pointless to worry about making people feel attacked when they are committed to attacking me. "That was pretty racist" gets heard as "you're a racist" by people who are racists. as an approach, it's probably one more effective for white people to use then people of color. it's easier to slip in and get at the actual problem when the person your talking to already perceives you as 'one of them.' i wouldn't think it fair to expect a black person to take that kind of understanding in a directly hostile conversation. i think that holds true in regards to other minority groups/issues as well
