Calories in calories out is one of those things that’s technically true but useless. Fast food is designed to be morish and addictive and is very calorie dense as others have said. So technically 3000 calories is 3000 calories no matter where it comes from but if you’re actually interested in your health and losing weight the specific food you eat is going to make a huge difference to your ability to actually succeed long term.
But yeah, calories in calories out. That doesn’t mean all food is the same.
- Comment on It is theoretically possible to constantly travel so that it is perpetually daytime wherever you are 4 days ago:
I’d recommend Into the Night if you’re interested in a show exploring the reverse concept. No idea about the scientific possibility though.
- Comment on just like nonna used to make 1 week ago:
It’s got what nonnas crave.
- Comment on it's so fucking awesome 1 week ago:
Never forget the treason for the season.
- Comment on Star Citizen is on course to reach $1 billion in player funding in 2026, and we still might not get to play its singleplayer campaign next year 1 week ago:
Doesn’t matter that you can try the game for free several time a year either. Stop having fun! Grrrrr!

I’d ban you, because you’re silly.

Shit, I haven’t even played Rome 2 properly yet and Rome was my favourite one! Very excited about this though.
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 5 weeks ago:
I used to prioritise GoG but now I just use Steam for the Linux support personally. If that’s not important to you it mostly comes down to whether you mind the inconvenience of multiple stores.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 5 weeks ago:
Oh yes that is what I meant. Edited for clarity.
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 5 weeks ago:
The ethics and utility (or lack thereof) of AI is an important discussion in it’s own right. In terms of Steam though, I really don’t think it’s relevant. Players want it, that’s it, that’s all that should really matter. Am I missing some nuance here?

Missed opportunity with the zoom percentage but solid effort.

Oh boy, it was just me and my dad so… just him running the show unfortunately.
- Comment on Therapy works 1 month ago:
Yeah I got it too. Apparently it’s not that uncommon sadly.
- Comment on Some meetings don't even need to be e-mails. 1 month ago:
We have some recurring meetings where team members are expected to add discussion topics to a doc beforehand. If nobody does the meeting gets cancelled, it’s great.
- Comment on Australians to get at least three hours a day of free solar power - even if they don’t have solar panels 2 months ago:
I wonder if it’ll be worthwhile to buy a home battery even just to store the free energy. Could be a very interesting way to incentivise distributed storage especially with the home battery rebates.

- Comment on Back in my day... 2 months ago:
This just unlocked a core memory of “prank me when you’re here.” As in, call me a hang up before I answer so it’s free because texting or answering the call would cost money.

But where my true neutral girls at?
- Comment on Anyone remember Heroes of Might & Magic 3? A remake is coming 2 months ago:
So many incredible memories with that game! My friend and I used to play really long hot seat games culminating in a big battle at the end. So much fun.
- Comment on Best stay away from that guy 2 months ago:
Borimir would have attracted every arrow
- Comment on It would have been really funny if a video game ejected the disk if you lost too many times 2 months ago:
Sounds a bit like one of the scarecrow sequences in Batman Arkham Asylum where the game ‘crashes’
- Comment on Tell me why! 2 months ago:
Bought it on eBay
- Comment on No more Mr. Nice guy 2 months ago:
Yeah I’m better at advocating for my own needs and boundaries now but I wanted to point out that in some cases at least it’s just a maladaptive behaviour.
- Comment on No more Mr. Nice guy 2 months ago:
I’m just trying to make sure they don’t hurt me.

Kinetic sanctions seem to be working quite well.
