Do they have meatless options for the vegetarian interested in a heart attack?

Well yeah, but I would absolutely watch everything related to her arguing about having slept with a ghost and trying to figure out what exactly happened, seeing as ghosts would require a lot of evidence

Crusher felt likr she had very little to her character. She rarely causes conflicts or takes sides beyond the “responsible physician” or “mom”, meanwhile Pulaski felt like she had a level of characterization that Crusher didn’t. She’s a science officer and a skeptic, a rough around the edges healer who will get involved in your moral dilemma. At the start I disliked her, and at the start of season 3 I wanted her back.

I don’t know why anyone expected the UAE to stay safe

Common sense is just “I assume everyone assumes that…”

Hell, a business strategy shouldn’t even be that complex. Complexity in it should stem from depth and details, not fancy words or difficult concepts

I used to go to a sex shop that had one. Each picture had a reason, and it was entertaining

Yeah but there’s always an Adderall shortage

I had something similar. I grew up catholic and was very devout until I learned some stuff about myself that made me step away for a while. I expected to come back like a year later and join the episcopalians or something, but I wound up an atheist for several years. During that time I was kinda insufferable about it for a while. Then I started exploring pantheism, earth worship, and ancestor devotion because I’d felt I was missing something without religion and lighting candles to talk to my mom helped me cope with how much of my life she doesn’t get to be there for. Later an acid trip and some exploration would help me delve deeper and find the goddess I primarily pray to these days. Somewhere later I started using the Wiccan holidays because they’re really convenient for solar and seasonal observance and meditation. They also help make it so I don’t wonder where the hell the year went.

So yeah, catholic to atheist to pagan. There are many paths up the mountain, find the path that is best for you and makes you better.

Pacifism is sometimes privilege and sometimes moral ideology taken to its noblest extreme. You have some who are safe no matter what and decry violence, but you also have folks like the victims of the Gnadenhutten massacre, who didn’t fight back because they were pacifists. You also have nonviolent people who do so strategically.

It’s really just nice that he’s going for their moms.

Also, merch for organizations providing free shit is a way to financially contribute and to get the word out about the project. Especially something like home assistant where most people have never heard of it, and many may think it’s too hard, you can get the word out and maybe even get some people interested in getting free from corpo ecosystems.

History really is set to the tune of Benny Hill in a minor key…

Eh, they absolutely read internet forums. But it’s more the likes of 4chan and twitter and absolutely not lemmy

It’s weird to me how drastically Lenten fasting has decreased in modern day catholicism. If I hadn’t left the religion and already become a pescatarian I’d be doing it old school with pescatarian all season and full fasts on Fridays.

The big two things exercise does for weight loss is it expends calories to build new muscles, and then those muscles increase your base calorie burn because they’re body mass. Weight loss without exercise can consume muscle as well as fat as the body treats excess muscles as a calorie store. At the end of the day, for most people in most circumstances, losing weight as a goal really means losing fat. If someone’s 110 kg and trying to lose weight, many wouldn’t mind being 110 kg with a somewhat thin waist and just being ripped (ok, a lot of women would hate looking like that, but actually doing that is an incredible feat)

I wish I could like running. It hurts and is awkward and just generally sucks. Thank fuck I found bicycles.

So, yeah, for those who can’t make themselves like running, check out Craigslist or a local bicycle co-op to find a reasonably priced used bike and start riding. It’s transportation, it’s exercise, it can be meditation, and it’s easy on the joints.

Ultimately, find an activity that makes you physically exhausted that you enjoy. If you aren’t having any fun you’re likely to give up when life gets in the way, but if you enjoy it, even if you go a year without, you’re likely to want to get back into it, and that’s vital.

And the long trend of decreasing home cooking really gained steam. Homemade food can be delicious, but it is rarely hypersatiable. It’s also more likely to contain things like vegetables (though I’ll admit, I don’t use enough in my household, my wife hates my “could eat it nonstop” veggie and I’m allergic to hers).

We’ve also increasingly been doing jobs that don’t fulfill a meaningful portion of physical fitness, and as such we’re increasingly underexercised

That is absolutely not true to the point that you’re describing a serious disease as health. A healthy body will generally desire only the amount of calories it has been using or slightly more. A healthy body may use excess calories for muscle building or other constructive activities. But if you are defecating digestible calories, you need to speak to a physician (though you’re only likely to learn about this via a stool analysis). This is famously one of the more dangerous symptoms of advanced crohns disease, but it could be an issue of any number of disorders of the digestive system.

The human body has varied efficiencies of calorie absorption, some people have less or more efficient bodies. If you can’t gain weight when honest calorie counting and genuinely increasing your intake, maybe you just have a weirdly variable metabolism, but you may find difficulty doing things that require extra calories like recovering from injury or illness or building muscle.

Romcoms are notorious for it as so many plots come down to a refusal to stop and communicate
