- Comment on What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets? 1 day ago:
1-2 lbs a week is the MAXIMUM you should be losing.
Find a TDEE calculator (total daily energy expenditure). It’ll give you a rough idea of how many calories you need to maintain your current weight.
Eat less than that. Weighing your food is critical or else you’re lying to yourself.
It’s near impossible to exercise yourself out of a calorie surplus unless you already do endurance sports and if you’re looking for drastic weight loss chances are you can’t handle that much cardio right away without dying.
All fad diets are a way to trick you into eating less than maintenance. Keto? You won’t be able to get enough calories - so you lose weight - although rarely some people manage to maintain on a keto diet. Vegan? Lose weight due to reduced fat intake and fat is calorie-dense. Intermittent fasting? Just hard to eat 3000+ calories in one meal per day.

If you play by the rules while your enemy doesn’t, you’ll be destroyed. Machiavelli said as much. So USA’s traditional allies have to start playing dirty to survive.

Understandable, I also do things the difficult way in my hobbies.

You can also get pre-mixed stuff if all that is a hassle.
I got a wooden cutting board and a tube each of oil and some stuff that seals it, those have lasted for 8 years now maybe.
- Comment on How do you "feel" gender? 1 month ago:
Since I’m the privileged default of male at birth and comfortable being a man, I don’t have to be made to feel my gender too often.
Women and femmes get catcalled and harassed. I never have. Women get told to shut up subtly or not, and get their work stolen by men. I don’t. Enbys non-conforming people might get forced into the Man Box and asked “what are you?” I don’t get those questions. So I just get to go about my day not getting my gender shoved in my face.
That said, I’m fairly uncomfortable in highly-masculine situations. Like bros hanging out smelling like shit talking about cars and barbecue and tits. I like a lot of man-coded stuff though, like lifting weights and blasting heavy metal. I also like “softer” stuff like birdwatching and fashion (tho mostly men’s fashion).

- Comment on What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life? 3 months ago:
Dumptruck ass is an upside.
But the pants thing is real. I got a nice pair of jeans and outgrew them in like 8 months.
I’m buying as much as I can second hand now because I’ve not even reached my final form.

I got into lifting. Which got me into fashion because I needed a whole new wardrobe once my clothes became too small for me.

- Comment on beans 🫘 3 months ago:
He also believed your soul carries on after death and enters a new body, possibly even an animal’s.
The story that he was killed because he refused to run away through a field of beans is probably fake. There’s a trope of ancient philosophers getting ironic deaths:
-
Archimedes being killed because he was absorbed in his geometry (he told the attacking soldier “don’t disturb my circles!”)
-
Diogenes was notorious for rejecting social norms and acting dog-like. “Cynic” comes from the Greek word for “dog”. He died of food poisoning after eating raw octopus, showing you can’t really live like a dog.
