Man, dietchat is always weird for me. I'm 6'3" or so, and last I checked I was like 135 lbs. Might weigh more now but our scale is broken so I don't know how much the increase is me having gained some weight versus it just being a bad scale. I'm also a vegetarian who just doesn't eat a lot, and have been really tall and thin my whole life, so despite the amount of stuff like pasta and junk food I consume I remain a skeleton/scarecrow person.

ImpAtom posted:I'm really 'lucky' in that my family has a long history of absolutely crippling alcohol addiction to the point I never got the urge to drink (and thanks to stomach issues never will!). Same for smoking. I guess I owe my family for being huge fuckups in that regards. I used to think I dodged this curse until it was pointing out to me that I binge drink to the point of death when my wife is not supervising my intake (and sometimes even then) and if I can't stop doing that it still means I'm an alcoholic, even if I don't drink literally every day so that's that

CascadeBeta posted:For as much as I've poo poo on you for your polling habits, this is good advice. Thank you. If you have a high BMI or a family history of apnea issues, you are a likely candidate for sleep apnea. A very bad case will cause you to frequently wake up at night, but moderate cases will keep you asleep, but not allow you to have a clear breathing passage. This means that you will stay asleep, but not enter REM cycle or deeper levels of sleep. This can cause increases in appetite, constant fatigue, and mental stress. If you have insurance, ask your doctor about it and get a sleep study done. If you don't have insurance, wait until you can, because it is very expensive. Losing weight will help and can sometimes cure it. If you have an issue with your throat or nasal passage that causes apnea, you will either need a CPAP machine or surgery. Getting your sleep right (or doing high-quality amphetamines daily) will dramatically help you with weight loss and weight loss might help with apnea and they will reinforce each other. You need to be consistent though.

Leon Trotsky 2012 posted:Chicken Tenders are delicious, cheap, enjoyable to an 11 year old, and high in protein. Grains help you feel full when composing any dish. There's a reason a lot of Indian/Chinese/other Asian food has a bunch of rice at the bottom of all that delicious sauce, meat, and veggies. Keep in mind that the cooking styles developed by the Chinese in particular was in the context of centuries and millenia of poor serfs starving to death with regular famine, so they had no qualms over picking every last bit of edible meat or roots they could dig out from an animal or the ground; which helps to explain why Chinese delicacies like 'Pig Intestine' seem bonkers to us in the West but totally normally with a strong historical tradition over in China. Personally, I love culinary diversity. It makes the world a more vibrant, rich and interesting place; and where would we be as a civilization without weird food poo poo like Century eggs or Mooncake? Counterpoint: Do not attempt to eat lamb brain curry in the Muslim district of New Delhi before heading back to the US on a 13-hour flight. It will not end well. I guarantee it.

You will have to eat more, and exercise more, than you feel comfortable with though, and poultry is probably going to be involved. I can't think of any people who can combine being reasonable and smart with being human beings as well as the Obamas. (Bill Clinton is a bit similar I guess.)

AriadneThread posted:I wouldn't think it fair to expect a black person to take that kind of understanding in a directly hostile conversation. Oh god no, and I didn't mean to imply this at all. God knows the approach didn't work for me when addressing virulently homophobic people, as it was impossible to keep my cool when directly involved like that. But that's why I said extreme cases too- if someone straight up embraces the racist beliefs and actions they've committed, then that makes them 'a racist' as opposed to 'person with racist hangups'. I often had to be the sober second thought at my old university LBGT group, and I always believed; Righteous moral outrage is fine when no one is listening, but when you have someone (or the public's) ear, use it wisely. Too often we cannibalized potential allies for minor infractions and not maintaining ideological purity. Altogether, the approach I described is probably most effectively utilized by in-group allies, as Ariadne suggests.

Ok here is the secret weapon that took Mr. Bronto from picky toddlerhood to vegetable-eating heroics: Black Magic Powder Take dried shiitake mushrooms and grind them up to a fine powder with a coffee grinder or whatever you got. It will look like actual dirt, but that's okay. Sprinkle it on any vegetable you're going to hit with high heat - I first tried this with brussels sprouts. You get an intense umami flavor like you magically turned the veggies into steaks. Never look back.

I need to introduce you veggie-haters to the wonders of taking raw broccoli and cauliflower and dipping it in a little bit of (in my case, vegan) pesto. Not a lot, don't go crazy with it. Tastes great.A Winner is Jew posted: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. This is strange to me.

Extremely harsh negative attitudes towards homosexuality could actually be viewed as an anomaly if you look at the entire existence of human civilization, it's mostly anti-gay conservatives that try to push the view that human society has always looked down upon same-sex relationships.

Cingulate posted:Empirically, you're wrong. This is pretty reductionist. The 19th and 20th centuries have been outliers in terms of world history because we haven't regressed too far socially or technologically. All throughout history there were social, political and technological backslides. For example the Romans built the triple walls of Constantinople that allowed it to exist all the way up to the middle of the 15th century but they sure as poo poo couldn't make new walls like those elsewhere. The technology was lost. The Roman empire for all of its faults was stable and prosperous until it wasn't and fell into dozens upon dozens of successor states and kingdoms in which the Catholic church was really the only binding force left in the west and not really suited to the task of governance. There is no line that's better to worse or worse to better in history. History is not a discipline for people who want easy black and white answers. It's full of grey areas, heavy nuance and unknowns. I would even say that times back then were better in some ways despite the ignorance and cruelty as humans didn't have the power to exterminate themselves in nuclear fire. A power which I trust in the hands of no one. Historically progress "forwards" as you would call it is not steadily forward. We're in a weird time right now where things are better for the average Joe and Jane. We know that history is full of declines and collapses of all kinds. The fact that we haven't had one in a long time is an outlier.
