First of all no, school fails miserably at actually teaching anyone to learn effectively, so that’s not why they do that. Second, they could just as effectively teach kids how to learn by teaching them things that are actually useful. I would’ve loved to have classes for note taking and studying, critical thinking, maintenance and repair… instead I’ve had to teach myself all of those things, meanwhile my school was too busy making me read about Victorian era dress styles to teach me any of that. Even math beyond algebra 1 is fairly niche and is probably better taught specifically to the people who need it. I’m in comp sci, I use that math all the time, but my friend getting his master’s in plant breeding probably doesn’t need to be intimately familiar with calculus.

It feels better to tell ourselves that all of the years wasted by school are actually for something but the reality is that school just does kind of a bad job at equipping people with the skills they need, and it needs to be improved dramatically.

I fear Microsoft will simply not reassess their decisions and we’ll be stuck with Apple, who has historically been much worse about user freedom.

Other way around for me. I only ever went on there to see artists and hobbyists and cool people do cool things. Many cool people have gone elsewhere which is nice.

Bit sad that in all this time nothing has changed. People could be better, but they won’t. The powerful cannot rule without the cooperation of others and it seems to be part of some humans’ natures to cooperate.

Not that there’s no point to fight back, things will be worse if we don’t fight, but it sucks knowing humanity isn’t going to permanently change for the better no matter what we do.

What’re we hitting?

Do I have any choice?

I, too, am a fan of undertale

From my understanding, food noise can be caused by a few things ranging from eating habits and culture to poor nutrition. Keto is able to help by filling your diet with things that keep you feeling full (protein and fat) and giving you some straightforward rules that keep you eating those things, which makes you not hungry as often and forces you to have some discipline around eating. You can still get cravings and noise on a keto diet though if your nutrition is off.

Whole grains can actually still be very filling despite their calorie density, on par with fats, but they have other nutritional benefits. They contain a lot of important nutrients, vitamins, minerals, and fiber that can reduce cravings and help keep the food noise down.

I’ve actually done keto before, the strict rules were helpful discipline-wise, but I was able to get all of the same benefits without actually being in ketosis. By trying to keep myself eating foods that keep me full, by avoiding binging and keeping my habits in check, and by getting rid of refined carbs (pasta and sugar are the worst, it’s like you didn’t even eat anything) I’ve been able to keep my diet in check pretty well.

Also be careful about saturated fats long-term. It can be bad for your heart if they make up too much of your diet. You’re probably aware already but I thought I’d mention it just in case.

What’s better, IMO, is keeping a balanced diet that minimizes or eliminates refined carbs and emphasizes protein and unsaturated fats. Unrefined carbs like whole grains can still be very filling even if they’re somewhat calorie dense, and a strict keto diet can make it harder to eat some otherwise healthy foods.

I desperately wish I could go cold turkey on eating. It is such a difficult thing to regulate for me, I want to simply give it up like I did for nicotine.

I think this guy has to be a troll.

Edit: after paying more attention, I’m coming around to realchadmctruth

I’ve been hoping something like this comes along. I dont have the time or knowledge to do it myself.

If you can hear me out there, please pull the plug.

I think you’re overestimating how difficult it is to make your own.

Well, it will end eventually. What the united states is doing right now is completely unsustainable long-term. I think it’s going to get a lot worse for a lot of people for a long while, but it will end.
