Keto can also cause severe other conditions — I know someone who got permanent GI issues because Keto wasn’t really an appropriate approach for them for diabetes. And this is a healthcare worker.

even the most “well-intentioned” and “scientific” fad diets are still fad diets and carry all associated risks. many are lightly-disguised eating disorders. the majority are not sustainable whatsoever and shouldn’t be. all because the BMI and weight are used as a be-all end-all when originally proposed by a eugenicist and also not really as reliable a health indicator when measured against, you know, many real people.

preventative medical care needs a serious shift away from weight loss as integral to solutions. weight in a vacuum and even fat body composition doesn’t actually tell us nearly as much as it is currently used for

Yeah my current focus isn’t weight loss per say, it’s getting a good daily routine back in order (2 rep sets for the morning/evening, get my cardio back in). And getting my calorie intake more balanced, probably by going 2 meals a day more because I’m not that hungry in the evening and it’s better to have a cutoff point. Eating for the sake of normalcy is a mistake

do you guys go to the gym?
I've been going for 4 months now and it's been really nice to see the difference.

I lost 14kg (30? pounds) between 2019 and 2020 and now that gyms are opened again I started working out and for the first time, it's something that I'm enjoying it.

No, but I do miss having easy access to an exercise bike.

One day I'll have a multiple room house of my own and a small room with like, a treadmill and an exercise bike. Renting studio flats is such a slog.

I’ve been working out at home on our Peloton and doing some dumbbell training over the last six weeks or so and feel great. Body starting to show some results, too!
 
Maaaaaaaan, the lockdown here in Netherlands probably gets extended with a few weeks. I fully understand why and see the importance of it, but still... I'm so bored jeez. Though sitting at home works wonders for my videogame- and Gamecenter CX addiction lol.

Hey, cool we're getting a Sonic mainline game with Brazilian Portuguese subtitles;

Though it was weird that SEGA made Mario & Sonic Tokyo 2020 completely translated in PT-BR, but ignored stuff like Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, Banana Mania or Sonic Colors Ultimate; 🤔

Either way, my non-existent excitement for Sonic Frontiers haven't moved a notch 😷

Starting to think I should pass on Pokémon Legends for now as I have been trying to focus more on my backlog and don’t want to feel rush or forced to complete it

I'm trying to find where you are referencing this from, but not seeing it

www.cdc.gov

People with Certain Medical Conditions

What you can do if you are at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19.
www.cdc.gov www.cdc.gov

Is what I'm seeing, which seems like a reasonable list? It's really just pulling from hospitalized / deceased covid patients files and looking for what coexisting medical conditions there may be that seem to be present with more severe disease
 
Yall.
I just walked into a beef bowl place (small town, nobody else in here, triple-vaxxed and masked, don't worry) and they're blasting, believe it or not, fuckin Japanese city pop. I know all these songs.

This never happens. In all my 30sumethin years of being a weeb, I've never walked into a place where they're blasting Japanese pop songs that I actually know. Hell, that didn't happen in the two weeks I was actually in Japan.

This is so cool. ❤️

Around the time the pandemic started I was told by docs to stop lifting heavy weights, so I'd been sorting out alternatives as I'd been weight lifting since I was around 17. I've recently switched to:
  • Lap Swimming
  • Stationary Bike Cycling
  • Light outdoor recreational cycling
  • Ring Fit
Swimming is my newest addition and I've got to say it's satisfying me far more than anything else. I'm only a couple weeks in and getting properly addicted

We just got a peloton and it’s amazing. Wills definitely be getting more fit with this in the home gym.

I've been thinking more and more about getting a Peloton. They're nearly $2500 AUD here, so it's no small investment. At the moment I'm just mooching off of a friends apartment gym bikes

No but I started running sometime around early 2021 & it was kind of a life changer for me. Helped deal with stress & anxiety plus I lost like 50lbs. Now I'm training to complete a half marathon

Gyms are way to intimidating for me
 
Been listening to AI Somnium Files, Ghost Trick and Gnosia soundtracks this evening. I forgot how amazing Ghost Trick and AI soundtracks are. I love these games and I can't wait for AI Nirvana which is this spring.
 
I love the challenges for the green stars in Galaxy 2 but being booted out of the level every single time is pretty annoying. It's one of the few blemishes on an otherwise stellar game.

You just reminded me that it wasn't part of 3D All Stars and I'm upset again.
 
Was messing around in Smash4 and got hit with the reminder that Nintendo had a perfectly functional Game Boy emulator for the Wii U and they never used for Virtual Console for some reason.. (you can play Dr. Mario and Kirby's Dream Land in Smash4's Masterpieces);

One of the coolest things on Wii U VC was GBA and DS support, and leaving GB/GBC out was so lame; Especially when those games aren't as nearly as re-releasd as NES or SNES titles.

Replaying the 3D Marios after Mario Odyssey made this feature stand out in my mind so severely. How did I once find this fine and acceptable? 🤦‍♂️

With some of them it makes some sense because they're designed in a way that you'd die if you didn't get booted out of the level but yes, the Odyssey way is definitely preferable.
 
I'm super excited about Splatoon 3 but I just realized Grizzco and Salmon Run may have been unique to Splatoon 2. How tragic...

VISUAL IMPAIRMENT???

BEING SHORT???

FUCKING MALAISE?!?!

One of my college professors, who is actually one of the leading researchers on studying the transmission on Covid, told me once that she had a theory that shorter people get sicker slighter more often than tall people. The thinking was that when you kick up particles, bacteria and viruses have a shorter distance to travel to the nose and mouth in shorter people. But for tall people, less particles are likely to get up to their head so possibly fewer pathogens get into their body.

The difference is probably very tiny and it would be a hard thing to study when you account for other health factors, but it's an interesting theory nonetheless.

Just had an amazing day off :)

Morning: Waste time because there's not enough time before lunch to start anything substantial

Afternoon: Waste time because there's not enough before the dogs need feeding and my Mum gets home from work to start anything substantial

Evening: Waste time because there's not enough time before dinner to start anything substantial

Night: Waste time because there's not enough time before I have to go to sleep to start anything substantial

Fuck I just want to escape this cycle :( I barely do anything anymore except shitpost on the internet and mindlessly browse Reddit/Tik-Tok/whatever.
 
umm i wasn't going to upgrade to windows 11, but i was kinda cornered by microsoft in an update and i said "fuck it, just lemme get out of this screen thats preventing me from turning this off quickly."

and now everytime i turn the pc on there's a pop-up 'No AMD graphics driver is installed, or the AMD driver is not functioning properly'. Please... I havent dealt with card driverS ever since I had a Nvidia fX 5500 and Pentium 4 in 2006 and I was like 9 years old. No idea on what it means except driver issue.

maybe apple and linux are better indeed

They progressively justified it more and more, which I think makes it more acceptable. Sunshine actually does a pretty good job of doing completely different set pieces per loading screen, which makes it more acceptable. Galaxy I don't even think would match their vision that much without loading screens between stars, it's a course clear game and I think allowing players to do multiple objectives at once would make some of the level ideas compete for visibility and attention. 64 is weirdly enough the worst at this, which is a bit bizarre when juxtaposed to how much freedom you're given when it comes to actually grabbing the stars.

But it's definitely a quality-of-life feature that deserves to stay for the better and I hope every game moving forward is made with it in mind design-wise.

Maybe break the cycle a bit by (if possible) taking the dogs for a long walk? Walking my dog is always a huge distraction for me. I also always get tons of people stopping me to tell me how cute she is (she's really pretty) 😊

Yeah, Mario 64 is the one on my mind the most since I'm replaying it now.

But I think this is one of those "once you notice it you can't unsee it" sort of things for me. I don't remember it bothering me at all before.

My boss is too nice to be a Nintendo villain, he's more of a Mario or a Shulk. He's very optimistic, energetic, and supportive.

I'm actually good friends with the guy, as I joined the company before it was even a company, when it was just a handful of 20-something autistics doing camps and meetups for other autistics. It was a volunteer thing for years before it officially became a company and a paid job for me.

I am incredibly fortunate.

I also have a super nice boss. Was having trouble thinking of a villain for him too but I figured I'd pick something close and just go with it.
