I am similar wrt to bodyfat fluctuations, but interestingly enough, it did happen to me overnight. During the pandemic I reached my lowest bf% ever, single digits, despite gyms bei…

Joined reddit the second half of my freshman year of university in early 2008, after hearing about it from an XKCD comic on 4chan. It was during the democrat primaries (Hillary vs …

Reddit was a lot better before the "casual users" showed up so maybe that's a good thing.

You touch on what is effectively the biggest problem I see with ads: how aggressive they are. Interrupting my watching experience so you can show me 15 seconds of some chips bounci…

I have a sneaking suspicion that the 'striking because of AI' is a coopted narrative and not the actual cause of the strike. Strikes tend to occur because of infringement on worker…

Categorically speaking, all tropes are previously used. There are no original ideas, just ones you haven't been exposed to yet or otherwise identified. Haven't you heard it said: '…

It's certainly more complicated than that. I spent a year and a half trying to be in a calorie deficit, meticulously tracking every calorie and wasn't able to lose weight, because …

Frankly, you really should be fixing and cleaning the tags with a program like tiny media manager or the like. It improves the user experience vastly, from having cover art, backgr…

I'm fairly new to the nas hobby, got one during covid and went with jellyfin because plex wasn't free. And honestly, using it has been really effortless and it's been a treat to fi…

I can only hope that your level of sanity is more commonly adopted because judging by the replies to you it appears many have just given into the machine. Unwitting servants of Mol…

The shareholder need their profits!! won't someone think of their needs?

But 4chan is also a complete cesspit. Like any place that adopts "free speech absolutist" attitudes. Reddit's heyday is long passed, but at least it is still very useful for grassr…

After a long period of stalled weight loss, I switched to a low carb diet (to reduce my feelings of hunger and aid in eating less), and with that came a plethora of keto-friendly p…

I've been using FF more lately because it has a functioning ad block. Mobile web has become borderline unusable with the amount of ads that get shoved in your face. It's not enough…

Interesting. I've always done this as a natural habit, I thought it was acute latent neurosis. But now I feel validated.

Peterson is a disheveled, drug addicted, religious nut. He doesn't have anything to teach anyone. Robbins is a sex predator. Not role models, not teachers. Poison the milk, poison …

true words spoken by a false man, makes them false.

When I code I use white noise, or pink noise, but it's run through a low pass filter to trim off the harsh high ends. I'll also add a slight comb filter then modulate the frequency…

Most of your examples first popped up 10 or so years ago give or take, when organic reach was still possible. The only one that didn't was fortnite (Dec 2017) but it's a far cry fr…

Those passion projects exist you just haven't heard about them. Unfortunately , we're past the point where reach is free and organic. You now need to pay if you wanna be heard.

Email is too socially antiquated at this point to be useful in that regard, and that's not even taking into consideration that because everyone uses gmail, you're trading one centr…

Hey, at least you have a paycheck. There are tons of people out there who work 50-hour weeks (artists, musicians) who get less than a decimal of that pay, none of the benefits, and…

Weed withdrawals can last months for me, severe depression / anhedonia / executive function impairment; duration depending on how much/long I used. I'll bounce back but man does it…

Calling it a 'pet theory' is extremely disingenuous. Of course every scientologist will 'not take seriously' claims that their founder was a conman, because to do so is to admit th…

Zen is extremely misunderstood in the west. Mostly because what we understand of it comes from a conman and his followers who appropriated it a la scientology/mormonism. Therefore,…
