Dude no. You have to actually wash them, what’s the matter with you?

I’ve found more belligerent comments have started to crop up, and sure enough, most of the time the account is about 2 weeks old. I really hope lemmy doesn’t change with this latest influx from reddit.

When your empathy extends to people you don’t even like.

She would be absolutely stunned. Probably wouldn’t believe me. At 43 I’m married to the guy I was dating at 19. At 19 I had dropped out of college and thought I wanted to be an artist; at 43 I’m already retired from a successful career in academic research. At 19 I had no thoughts about politics or the world as a whole (9/11 hadn’t happened yet); at 43 I’m pretty informed and opinionated. And she’d probably be surprised how much I’m into the outdoors, healthy living, and weightlifting, given that she had negative interest in those things. The rest is pretty consistent - e.g., I’ve always loved music from the '60s, fun nail polish, scifi, swimming, and handmade art (drawing, beading, etc).

As a kid I made a PB, banana, mayo, and potato chip sandwich pretty often. I fucking loved it. As an adult I’d never eat that, but occasionally I crave it.

You should check out the Fairy Voice Mother on YouTube. She talks all about how positioning the lips, jaw, and larynx in certain ways helps create certain sounds. Very interesting!

Becoming healthy is tough and can suck. But being healthy is its own reward. I really enjoy eating clean, lifting weights, going on hikes in nature, etc. You can find joy in life through healthy living. YMMV if you don’t have the right attitude though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Solves all problems.

Great advice tho

Track your calories, macros, and any micronutrients that you’re concerned about (e.g., sodium, fiber). Set a goal and stick to it. I use the LoseIt app and a digital kitchen scale.

Drink a lot of water. Half your body weight (in lbs) in ounces. So if you weigh 130 lbs, drink 130 ÷ 2 = 65 oz of water daily. This is your baseline; add more for exercise. Don’t go overboard because too much water is bad for you.

Aim for 45-60 minutes of vigorous exercise 3-4 times a week. I like weightlifting for this. On the other days, be active, but don’t push yourself too much. You need rest for recovery.

After your workouts, don’t eat back all your calories, but do consider having something protein-heavy.

Sleep. I can’t emphasize enough how important sleep is. Try to get 7-8 hours every night. This is the hardest one for me personally; I don’t have a ton of advice. But developing a bedtime routine helps.

Weigh yourself every day first thing in the morning, after you’ve used the bathroom and before you’ve had anything to eat or drink, with no clothes on. I like my Withings scale because the app tracks my measurements over time.

Have a mindset of lifestyle change - otherwise, if you go back to old habits, you’re likely to gain back any weight you lose.

Good luck!

Yeah I love my Withings scale

Oh great, good luck getting that outta my head!

I think that would be purgatory.

No, it’s just got an irritating sound. Also it makes me think about Niblets (the frozen corn kernels). But that’s not enough to explain how annoying I find that word. Maybe I’m just weird ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Something about that word irks me and I’m not sure why.

I’ve always loved that quote. Also this beast:

And we get a little further from perfection
Each year on the road
I think that’s called ‘character’; I think that’s
Just the way it goes
But it’s better to be dusty than polished like some
Store window mannequin
Won’t you touch me where I’m rusty
Let me stain your hands
