FLAWED
INTUITION



Toilet Rascal
I lost 30 pounds in 2020. I’ve been stuck at my current weight for awhile after plateauing but overall going from 205 to 175 is an accomplishment. I did it by just watching portions and exercising 5-6 times a week. If I wanted to lose more I’d probably have to start counting calories and removing alcohol from my diet. But at that point, what would I trying to be doing? Getting a 6 pack?

I should probably reduce my alcohol consumption regardless.

i really really want to cut down my alcohol consumption in 2021.

ideally i'd get hired, pass that first drug test, and just start smoking weed to relax. i've never really been a stoner and have only smoked like five times in my life but i think it's time.

yeah part of my drinking is i spent my twenties kinda hustling, so i was always renting rooms and never really settled down and like gave myself direction. honestly my favorite part of going back to school and everything was for the first time in my life having something i was working towards, and it's something i realized i liked from weightlifting.

anyway since i never really had my own place i always just wanted to be out and going, and more often than not that translated to spending time in bars. and then since i was always drinking in bars i started drinking at home. and then it just kinda became something i do.

its something i still struggle with; that urge to just be out, be drinking. its hard for me on a tuesday at like 4 pm to realize "whelp im not moving tonight i guess" or just relax without drinking.

its also kinda one of the reasons i like to cook really complicated things; it just locks me down in place for a few hours.

anyway yeah hopefully weed (and having an actual career) can help with that.

For those of you looking to lose weight I highly recommend intermittent fasting

Isn't that just skipping breakfast? Or lunch?

A year ago I was at my heaviest, 220. At some point over the summer I got down to 197, I'm probably in the low 200s right now (my scale needs a new battery again).

There's a small grocery story near me that sells half-pound fruit cups for ~$2, and my local Mariano's sells premade salads at $10 for 3. I have a fruit salad and veggie salad for lunch every day.

there's different ways to do it. essentially you want to fast for 16 hours and eat during eight. for me it works to skip breakfast, and just eat lunch and dinner. i only ate between 12p-8p

the idea behind is maximizing your insulin sensitivity, so you maximize the food you DO eat.

of course IF is just a part of the puzzle. you still have to eat right, stop drinking, etc

I’m voting 4 this time because there’s always room for improvement!

I wound up drinking less last year since I do most of my drinking out and about and obviously that wasn’t happening. Even last night I had a glass of wine at dinner and a cocktail while Zooming with my SOs family, and then by the time it hit midnight I didn’t even really want the champagne. It’s a far cry from NYE in my 20s.

Yeah, I'm in a similar mindset. I really want (and need, if things go to plan) to kick alcohol to the curb, and smoking weed might be a good alternate. I've only smoked weed like once, though, and having a stoner brother hasn't given me a good impression of it, even though I know that has much more to do with my problems with my brother than weed itself

2020 was definitely my year of realizing weed is better, although I'm still consuming both on a regular basis. In fact, our house currently smells like a dispensary because I have a gram of weed in the oven at 240F in prep to make butter that will be cookies tomorrow.

Reviving/responding from the old thread:

Abugadu posted:

I had a lot of free time and pushed ahead to the Shinra building, but Wall Market was really well done, and you’ll start to get the flow of combat and materia easily enough.

When you return to Wall Market in the daytime, you can hit the colosseum and do a two-person fight against low level goons that racks up AP, and you should be able to get the doubler by then. Plop a First Strike materia on Cloud and just Triple Slash to start the battles (select easy to speed it up) and you can get like ~35 AP every 45 seconds. 70 on whichever one is doubled.

This is good to know. I have no issues doing some quick power-leveling/grinding if it's going to make my life easier.

ZuluDashOne posted:

If you like those sim games check out Oxygen Not Included. Yeah definitely during major fights switch up how you need to, but man running around and pummeling the poo poo out of garbage fights feels good.

The first few enemies in Sector 5 after the boss fights were super easy again, so yeah, it seems like it really is just a boss thing.

I've played 14 hours of Oxygen Not Included, which is more than I would have guessed. Not sure what it is about it that never completely clicked for me. For reference, I have ~100 hours into Rimworld (even though I've never actually done anything interesting).

One thing I thought about doing is making notes about what it is I specifically enjoy and don't about sim games to help figure out which ones I should seek out.

mayo in deviled eggs is like tuna salad where you are adding the mayo to get the texture (chunky, creamy, gel) that you want. you might be able to get away with 0 mayo, a little bit of olive oil, and more mustard.

Yeah, deviled eggs need a binding agent, which is usually mayo. That's why I suggested soft boiled eggs and use the soft yolks as the binding agent which is like pre-mayo.
