Look, I get it. Beer is expensive, these days. Always has been. But I feel like these movements miss the forest for trees. If we mandate beer volume then places that are “shorting”…

This also speaks to another point, when trying to lose weight: you must find new things to enjoy.

+1 for Serious Eats. I also like NYT cooking. I do not like Bon Appetit, I find most of their recipes to not turn out well.

I will add a comment in support of the very low dose of melatonin. I take 1mg, same as another user, but will experiment with dropping it. I find that it works best if I take it so…

I don't know, the Matt Stoller Substack post from yesterday had a whole line of discussion that was already covered in the article.

>> I'm motivated by fear and anxiety, and I want to change to being motivated by desire. I had the same intention. I found that creating psychological safety was more useful than t…
