You could pay me and i still wouldn’t want to use any of this.

I can write my own texts, I can read long ones without having to get a summary. I can draw, I can take pictures, I can do online research. All by myself without a spicy autocomplete to prechew it for me.

tysm! I think you got it right, it’s actually the key, forming a long term habit

slow and steady progress. that makes it also way more probable that i don’t fall back into the old habits of eating junk randomly or increase the portion sizes when reach my target weight!

dude that’s awesome! thank you for your detailed explanations, we have a very similar way of approaching things. I also love the idea of keeping your mind busy with something creative, it’s also making your life so much more interesting than being a spectator in front of a TV, a computer or a smartphone screen.

proud of you man :D

I’ve picked up sewing (making a fursuit right now, it’s a project that will take me a full year), it’s very soothing and i can do it while speaking with my friends in voice chat, i even put the camera on so they can see what i do, it’s actually great to upkeep my friendships :D

i lost 20 lbs since the start of the year, and food-wise i did three things:

• no snacking, i stick to 3 meals: a small breakfast (i work at the computer so i don’t need heaps of food in the morning), hot cooked dish for lunch, and small dinner (a few slices of bread with ham/cheese…) and eat SLOWLY, lots of chewing, it helps limiting the intakes.
• no sugary or sugar-free beverages: even with aspartam/acesulfam-K/stevia (etc) your body generates insulin to process what is perceived as sugar, this lowers your blood sugar and induces cravings. I drink water, unsweetened black coffee and unsweetened tea, that’s it, no exceptions.
• i stopped feeling obligated to empty the plate, and never take a refill. whenever i feel full, my leftovers go into the fridge, nothing is thrown away.

very nice! and you can vary your dishes quite simply, use the burrito filling as a topping on pasta or rice instead of rolling into a tortilla

very good, and with potatoes and pasta you can take all the remaining pasta and sauce, throw them into a baking form, add a few vegs if you have, grate cheese on top, and tada, new dish :)

yeah, i used to do that but i’m currently on a diet to lose 60 pounds so i’ve stop refilling my plate

that’s why you cook the whole bag of pasta and put the rest in the fridge for the next day, make 1kg of beef for gulash or bolognaise… make at least twice the amount to have something to reheat. You can also put in zip bags and freeze if you want to have more days between eating the same thing

yeah that’s so weird that it never happens

Wonderful! As a reward, please receive vacation photos i made in Guadeloupe and Martinique, featuring Geckos and an Iguana

please tell me about lizards!

cheers! that’s so funny 😆

who are the two top left? i’ve seen that pic out of context a few times now but i don’t watch any news

the basedest of us all 💜

Hello, my name is Marc S, i’m the head of the Macrodata Refining department.

i’d rather have it the other way around:

• duckduckgo.com: no ai
• ai.duckduckgo.com: with ai

Duck is amazing, either Chinese style (Peking Duck) or French style (Canard à l’orange)

very cool thank you! 😊

wow i miss this era so much, bring back the rotating and blinking gifs, marquees and quaint color palettes!

It is, it’s the far right party in Germany, with many of its members carrying sentences for incitement for racial hatred and public use of nazi quotes/symbols/gestures.

They currently have ~20% of the electorate on their side, and there’s an ongoing procedure to declare them illegal (as measures against the emergence of nationalistic movements were enshrined in the constitution post WW2)

Bullshit für Deutschland

yup it works
