Cliche fitness/diet advice that doesn't help anybody because it is too vague or too low impact to have any actual effect on your looks or health in the long run. Bonus points if its really loving obvious like eating less pizza and more salad. Thanks a lot, I did not know that! To go down in weight you need specific plans for what you eat and you gotta stick to it. Anything else makes you go back to old habits.

Agree, I have done my fair share of reading about eating and training and know what works and what probably won't. Diets in the long run are bad for most people since the idea to only lose weight for a short time to your ideal weight and then just bouncing back to your old poo poo food habits is a toxic cycle. What most people should learn/understand that long term change is a lifestyle change, but that is hard so they rather go on a smoothie detox or whatever. I just nod and smile whenever I am in a discussion with friends who talk about their last failed attempt to lose 10lbs to fit into a dress for a marriage they were invited to.

I hate that word a lot too if you say you are on a diet you already admitted you are going back to old habits. Personally for me replacing soda with sugar (used to drink 1-2 cans a day) with something else and adding vegetables with dinner, adding protein filled lunch and breakfast will help me with going down in weight.

But tell someone that and they look at you like you just said you were going to campaign for Trump 2020. Everybody wants to believe that there's that ONE THING that they can eat or drink that is going to make them lose 20 pounds in a week, and that ONE THING that they can do to get the body of a fitness model. It doesn't help that there's a billion dollar industry reinforcing that belief.

Increasing your fruit/vegetable intake whilst decreasing meat consumption also leads to fuller and shinier and bouncier hair/poops

Well, I'll try to keep it to a minimum since this literally isn't the thread for it, but I do children's illustration mainly, working towards refining my portfolio for kid's books primarily. (Did this as a gift for my baby nephew.)  Here's a Christmas card commission I did.  Here's some shots of like, 5 out of the 15 of my Greek myth abstract series, which is what I'm trying to either display or get someone to tell me to gently caress off with it. https://imgur.com/a/1jTav6k I have better pics of those but they're on a flash drive at my house so...

Your art is really good (both styles), and I hope that the reason they didn't take it is simply that they didn't feel like it fit their theme. If that's not the reason, then they have no taste. I took a few upper level art history classes in college, so I'm definitely an expert on this.

Thank you, and actually since the last post on this topic I prodded the gallery owner a little bit, and they got a little flippant with me saying they're mega busy and if I were serious that I'd come in and meet them in person. Which, while not a bad point, seems presumptuous. If you put out your call to art on a certain social media, expect the messages to be on there, and respond with SOMETHING upon receipt. IDK, maybe I'm the kind of guy to throw words at a problem until it disappears, but I like to tell people what's up in plain speech. We've since made amends and he's asked me to come by with a digital portfolio, but I'm not 100% if I want to do that now. I've got other friends with galleries and cafes and bars, I'm sure I'll find a good home for fifteen weird squares about Greek myth.

"Don't block the intersection" means...don't loving block it. Stop it. The first car that's just a car length or less sticking out, fine, you misjudged the line or the rear end in a top hat in front of you didn't pull up all the way. But the 2nd-5th people can gently caress off for making me miss my turn 3 cars back on a green arrow left turn.

The number of people who love to get to the center of an aisle, park their cart sideways and crouch in the gap that's left to examine, in detail, the subtle nuances of different brands of canned gravy need to fined or at the very least shot. How can you be so unaware of your surroundings? Do you think the entire store is just for your private perusal? Do you not notice the traffic jam of carts going in both directions lined up all the way to ends of the aisle? gently caress you and the 7 slack-jawed family members you brought with you!

At our store in the evenings there's a cop posted in the entryway whose duty seems to be entirely staring down at his phone. He doesn't even glance up when people come out. Go give a loitering ticket to those cart people or the people who take 20 minutes on their deli order because they don't decide anything before getting the employee's attention, or anything really, you're useless except for making me wonder how bad you have to screw up in our police department to get assigned grocery store duty.

Right after high school, one person I knew would only sell after dark in the parking lot of a local preschool. It was the dumbest poo poo. Like you’re picking the sketchiest place possible and if you get caught, step one will be confessing that you sold weed and shrooms and never diddled a kid.

Sharing images by taking a screenshot of it instead of just sharing the original image should be a universally bannable thing on every site. Something that was originally a 20 kilobyte PNG ends being a several megabyte JPEG that's covered with phone notification icons from 8 different people and has been recompressed so many times you can't even make out what it is. It's like having that one boss that would print out screenshots of error messages on their computer so they could scan the printout and fax it to you except now everybody does it.

Clothes that are handwash only. Ain't nobody got time for that poo poo! Stores that have a skeleton crew manning the checkouts during slower times of the day, but no self-checkout machines. Yeah one or two people can handle most things, but then you get an old lady bitching that her coupons didn't print out, and then you have to call the manager and they open another register to go through the line and the next person has a return so now TWO registers are tied up and then they FINALLY call a third person down so you can just buy your one loving item and get on with your day. No, this exact thing didn't happen to me today. Why do you ask?

I hate when a family thing ruins an otherwise good mood. I'm having a fantastic month, my LPs are nearing completion I'm looking at earning a huge amount more than normal due to actually doing overtime this month, some shows I like are airing again and I've finally bought a new satchel and have a new stovetop/hob on the way because the gasman has confirmed my current one is old and knackered, so it should be an awesome month. However I got a text about some family drama that I refuse to get involved in and now it's spoiled things. Now the month is only "decent".

Forgetting something at the grocery store checkout, not noticing until you get home, and having to awkwardly go back to retrieve it since you paid for it and it's the principle of the thing. It's only happened twice in my life and was equally annoying/embarassing each time.Silver Falcon posted:Clothes that are handwash only. Ain't nobody got time for that poo poo! Makes you wonder how important the handwash-only is supposed to be.  (To be fair, I wash everything in cold water only and usually line dry, which is less rough on clothes to start with)

my mom always freaks out when i wash colors with whites, but seriously, i've been doing that for years and all my clothes are fine. Clothes rules are like food expiration dates. Most of the time if you ignore them you'll be perfectly fine, but sometimes you aren't. I'm not paying a dry cleaner to clean my poo poo every week though, i don't have time for that, i'm rolling the dice. Can just buy new clothes if they get ruined.

IIRC old clothes dyes used to bleed a lot more, and the 'don't wash colors with whites' rule hasn't changed to reflect that dyes suck less now. Most color bleeding happens in the first couple washes anyway, so if you really care you can just wash something individually the first few times. But I don't, and it's been fine, so  .

Winter coats and suit pieces are the only things I dry clean. Oh, and some old rear end wool sweaters that used to be my grandpas. Everything else goes in together in random heaps, cold. Seems fine.
