big scary monsters posted:Cool, glad it works for you and you've been able to adjust to it permanently rather than as a crash diet. I wasn't trying to attack you specifically, just I've seen plenty of friends try dieting to lose weight and fail long term, and a couple take up sports and succeed. I counted calories for a time to drop weight to climb a long term bouldering project and it worked great, but it came back once I stopped. A few years later, moving 12km from work and cycling every day was a much more fun way of incidentally achieving the same result. I didn't see it as an attack, and "crash dieting is bad" is an important point that a lot of people need to hear. Good on you for trying to help folks out. Finding exercise that you enjoy is very important to keep the motivation up. I have a friend with mental health issues who has trouble spending time outside and therefore has never really done much exercise. They recently got an exercise bike and found they can like/tolerate using it in front of the TV. An important step IMO  Me, I like cycling and walking along canals and rivers, and I find my bodyweight training fun. Weights bore the poo poo out of me  Oh, new page. 585AD King Childebert II takes up sole rule of Austrasia. Austrasia was formerly part of the Frankish Empire, whose breakup mirrors the collapse of the EU that Strong Britane's leaving is about to cause. But before that happens the Pope will crown Jean-Claude Juncker Emperor. Braggart fucked around with this message at 12:05 on Jun 21, 2017 |

Isn't the new take on salt that too much sodium isn't bad for you up until like LDLo levels unless you already have high blood pressure? (If you already have high blood pressure then sodium still bad.)

If it's unnecessary then oh well, no harm done, and on the other hand it might be actively useful. Plus it's nice to branch out and experiment with using other stuff for flavouring.

Noxville posted:Well I guess it's nice to know that at least with the majority of the Labour right they do in fact care mostly about winning I do genuinely think there's a chunk of the Right that is at heart genuinely lefty, quite likes socialism, but has absorbed the Blairite view that the only way you get into power and get to do anything even remotely good is by tacking to the right and winning over Tories, and therefore has as a result hated Corbyn purely because they thought he'd wipe out the Labour Party. Now that that has Not Happened and there is a clear constituency for proper socialism, hope has perhaps thawed their frosted hearts a little and they're genuinely willing to get on side. I mean, there's a reason they joined up with our party and not the oppo when they were young and idealistic. On the other hand hope may still be a lie, and obviously some of them including Blair himself are still straight up ideologically rightwing bastards. Edit: wow I genuinely said genuinely a lot

Zephro posted:This is one interesting consequence of changing your diet. I've been making a big effort to cut down on salt (that poo poo is everywhere) and one side-effect is that supermarket bread is really unpleasantly salty for me now that I've got used to not eating so much. Crumpets (peace be upon them) are even worse, and they're the thing I miss most. But it's kinda amazing how much salt is jammed into everything and how you just don't notice it unless you make an active effort to cut back. Palate change certainly makes it easier to stick to the diet. If you stick it out then to a certain extent you stop craving poo poo food, which is dead handy. I remember loving bread and other carby things, but the thought of actually eating them now is kind of offputting. I've never found salt to be a problem. I eat a lot of salted peanuts but I'm getting less salt from everything else as it's unprocessed meat and green veg. I sweat a lot and I drink a lot of water (and nothing else) so I piss a lot. It all seems to work out  Who is Dennis Skinner heckling and what is the man doing?

If you're of an acceptable but not amazing physique, I couldn't recommend strength training more. It allows, nay requires, that you eat a fuckload of food if you want to seriously progress and you'll feel loving awesome the first time you look in a mirror and notice you actually have pecs just like those guys on TV. And the amount of sex you get to have will increase dramatically.

Zephro posted:I realised how you're supposed to do traditional British/Irish food when I was making a lamb stew and accidentally tippled like three times as much rosemary into it as the recipe suggested. It was really nice. So the basic tactic is to boil the poo poo out of the actual food until it's a rubbery, flavour-free mess, then pick your favourite herb or spice and go hog wild. Don't think of it as lamb stew with rosemary, think of it as rosemary stew with heat-treated protein solids and it all makes a lot more sense. Attempting to introduce anything so radicalas a herb or god forgive, garlic, into Irish food will get you run out of Limerick faster than the jews in were in 1884

Seaside Loafer posted:Its this bit from the opening of parliament and Dennis Skinner is almost and possibly more 'the boy' than JC. And just to  , this year he was referring to the fact that Her Maj is apparently furious with May that she's having to do this in the middle of Royal Ascot because May couldn't sort out the DUP poo poo.Private Eye reckoned she was already pretty pissed off with May for running to the Palace before she actually had a deal in place with the DUP, and also for neglecting to use the traditional words in the announcement - she said "I have been to the Palace and will now form a Government" rather than "Her Majesty has requested that I form a Government" which seems like the Queen getting petty but it's a pretty important constitutional point that some rando doesn't get to go up to the Queen and say "Yeah I'm the PM now, suck it".

And the amount of sex you get to have will increase dramatically. Fully agree. That's a change I made several years ago and it was a good one. And eating more was explicitly one of my reasons. #1 in the list of muscles I didn't realise I lacked until I got them: lats

There's three facebook events, two of which are run by SWP shills, and none of them have more than a few hundred attendees. For contrast, the protest outside Downing Street last weekend had a few thousand. It's pretty much just that right-wing journalists have absolutely poo poo themselves at seeing it was called "Day of Rage".

No that's because this year is a dress-down with less ceremony, on account of the delay mucking up the schedule so that all the horses or whatever the gently caress couldn't practice the real ceremony properly. Or some similar stupid bullshit.

Or some similar stupid bullshit. It's a combination of the two. The dress-down is highly unusual and is probably really on account of the Queen being really old, the weather being really hot, and the Ascot being difficult to attend in full regalia.
