| Topic | Smoothies are life hacks. Something that tastes this good shouldn't be healthy. |
| Japanties 04/15/24 11:57:59 AM #30 | Tyranthraxus posted... This is not a universally true statement.Yeah, it's just my general rule of thumb. I've forgotten a lot about biochem since college when I was living with biochem students who wouldn't shut up about their lessons. It's exhausting trying to actively listen to people who just spew jargon and assume you understand. Tyranthraxus posted... The overall effect of blending your fruits and veggies is not very big anyway as long as that's all you're doing.You're probably right, I'm just used to thinking in min-max mindset for stuff like this because internet groups for bodybuilding/weightlifting have an unhealthy fixation on optimal training and nutrition. |
| Topic | What is the biggest political shift you've seen in a person? |
| Japanties 04/15/24 11:47:06 AM #27 | Economics posted... anarcho communist to christian nationalistHorseshoe theory. The radical fringes of what we consider the 2D political spectrum actually gain more in common with each other the farther away from the "center" they move, even though they're supposedly moving in opposite directions. Someone who is close to radicalization is fertile ground for fanaticism, and once you push them past the margin, it becomes difficult to pull out of the rabbit hole, no matter how you enter it. I consider myself very hard left. I'm definitely down some kind of rabbit hole. I could be very wrong, but either way the center is more wrong. |
| Topic | How do you feel about Trump? |
| Japanties 04/15/24 11:40:43 AM #35 | GuerrillaSoldier posted... all of these yearsThat's by design. People at the top of the pyramid profit more and easier by having this dichotomy of two bad options; both serve the ruling class' interests. It's just that one option is openly fascist while the other pretends to care about the masses. |
| Topic | Smoothies are life hacks. Something that tastes this good shouldn't be healthy. |
| Japanties 04/15/24 11:36:58 AM #27 | Smoothies are less healthy than simply eating the foods unblended. Obviously getting a more complete nutrient profile will have positive results, but the more processing done to your food, the less overall healthy it is. The more processed your food is, the less your body has to work to digest it, which means the sugars (which all foods eventually break down into) more rapidly pass into your blood. Highly processed foods greatly contribute to diabetes because (i think) they result in much higher amounts of sugar dumping into your bloodstream at once. |
| Topic | So how exactly is the new Star wars girl "ugly" |
| Japanties 04/15/24 11:26:42 AM #19 | I'm tired of games attempting hyper-realism, it just makes everything look ugly or uncanny. |
| Topic | Do you still consider Ocarina of Time a masterpiece? |
| Japanties 04/15/24 11:23:59 AM #11 | I hate calling anything a masterpiece. It feels like nothing but a marketing buzzword nowadays. That said, I think the overwhelming consensus is that OoT was a watershed moment for gaming. |
| Topic | I really wish I liked ff8 |
| Japanties 04/15/24 11:19:15 AM #22 | FF8 is the artist's Final Fantasy game. It's bunch of crazy plot stuff thrown at the wall to see what vibes the best, just like every other Final Fantasy game, but the way everything settles into place allows multiple art school student bullshit explanations for the gaping plot holes. It's one of my favorites. |
| Topic | How do you feel about Trump? |
| Japanties 04/15/24 11:12:34 AM #28 | I was out of the country back in 2015 when someone told me that Trump was running for president and had a serious chance of winning. My words to the person who told me that were, "when Trump's tax returns come out, he'll be out of the race immediately." I definitely did not take it seriously. Surely the country wouldn't elect the posterboy for the stereotypical slimy 80s grifter. He's so obviously a self-interested con-man. It speaks volumes about the state of the american public that we're unable to identify bad actors as transparent as Trump. We have an alarming lack of media literacy and critical thinking, and Trump's political success is a reflection of that. |
| Topic | Does it annoy anyone else when you have a friend that rushes ahead in every game |
| Japanties 04/12/24 11:22:10 AM #5 | It would be wonderful to play a multiplayer game with someone who sticks to only playing with me. The way games are now though, we would never get anywhere because inevitably we would need to grind for hours just to get materials. At that point we'd just go play something else. |
| Topic | How hard to find a girlfriend that had hetero |
| Japanties 04/12/24 11:15:40 AM #9 | https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/e0781095.jpg I've met a handful of few people with noticeable central heterochromia, but none of the other types. |
| Topic | Lmao Bethesda really does hate the Pre-Fallout 3 lore (show spoilers) |
| Japanties 04/11/24 4:50:35 PM #32 | It seems pretty clear that Bethesda isn't interested in doing anything conceptually interesting with the Fallout setting; to them Fallout is a static setting dominated by the rule of cool. To Bethesda, Fallout is about people roaming around a deserted nuclear wasteland with high-tech weaponry and gadgets that have a 1950s aesthetic. That's all they'll ever do with it. |
| Topic | Early MCU was so violently neoliberal / right-wing |
| Japanties 04/11/24 4:32:57 PM #2 | I don't give enough of a shit about the MCU to think critically about if your read is correct, but I'm still interested enough to read arguments about it. |
| Topic | What video game/s are you currently playing?* |
| Japanties 04/11/24 4:22:43 PM #13 | I forced myself to finish FF7R2. Calling it a chore is being charitable. Revisiting this game is out of the question, and the thought of buying FF7R3 is laughable. Currently working through Unicorn Overlord. I'm enjoying myself more than I expected to. For a studio that has never made a strategy RPG before, I think Vanillaware has made a better SRPG than anything Intelligent Systems has put out with Fire Emblem in nearly a decade. I'll probably be chewing on this game for a while. Also currently replaying Guild Wars. I miss when games were designed to be fun first and foremost instead of to hold your attention hostage with menial checklists and FOMO gambling bullshit. |
| Topic | Tennessee Republican representative argues for cousins to get married. |
| Japanties 04/11/24 4:17:03 PM #12 | Giant_Aspirin posted... the guy is arguing that "same sex first-cousins" should be allowed to get married because that presents no risk to public health, like it does with hetero first-cousins, since there's no chance for offspring. AldousIsDead posted... this bill is also for preserving child marriage, that is to say adults marrying minors.So it sounds to me like this bill is actually about preserving child marriage, and the TN repubs are trying to include extra stuff to distract from it. |
| Topic | Are there any video games that you'd consider life-changing? |
| Japanties 04/11/24 4:08:23 PM #27 | For me personally: Pokemon Blue -- gateway drug World of Warcraft -- learned how to be a sweaty tryhard and work Rock Band -- discovered how much i enjoy playing music Dark Souls -- internalized a whole bunch of existentialist, absurdist philosophy The Stanley Parable -- realized that no choices actually matter in video games, and the medium is pretty devoid of creative design. Disco Elysium -- "Oh, so this is actually what good writing is supposed to be, and the rest of video games as a medium is sophomoric as fuck." TBH most of my "life changing" video games have been me falling out of love with video games. |
| Topic | Matthew Mercer learns he's auditioning for Vincent in Rebirth during recording |
| Japanties 04/10/24 3:55:09 PM #2 | That's an interesting way to do it I guess? |
| Topic | Anyone else feel like we're at the "end" of the internet? |
| Japanties 04/10/24 3:53:21 PM #4 | Google search results are getting noticeably worse. Amazon product pages are a mess. All the streaming sites are bloated with ads. Social media sites promote clickbait exclusively. Everything and everyone is monetized to the gills. Absolutely none of it is regulated. That's the dystopian part. |
| Topic | When weight lifting what do you do between sets ? |
| Japanties 04/10/24 10:01:33 AM #32 | I sit on the equipment I'm using and vaguely look around the room, being careful to not make eye-contact with anyone. I was taught as a young child that if you must fight someone if you lock eyes with them in a gym. |
| Topic | I ended up owing a bunch of taxes D: |
| Japanties 04/10/24 9:58:21 AM #1 | My ACA marketplace health insurance auto re-enrolled me at the end of 2022. Normally that's what you'd want, but I had started a new job that provides health insurance at the end of 2022, so the ACA insurance was accruing premiums all through 2023. I hate insurance. What a scam. |

| Topic | How old are you CE? |

Yes, the age ranges not being the same amounts is intentional. |
| Topic | Morgan Wallen arrested for throwing chair off Nashville bar roof |
| Japanties 04/08/24 10:58:43 AM #5 | Chief's is a bar on Broadway, which is the touristy strip filled with bars. Wilder stuff happens on Broadway pretty often, so I'm not surprised. |

| Topic | man playing League with my friend is so fucking boring |

| Topic | Does your workplace have a weather guy? |
| Japanties 04/03/24 10:23:11 AM #7 | I am this guy. I talk only about the weather because I don't want to share anything about my personal life with people at work. |

| Japanties 04/02/24 2:59:41 PM #3 | I didn't buy a house back in 2018 even though I had the means to do so. Now I'm stuck with an interest rate higher than 5% for a house that would've sold for half as much back then. |
| Topic | Taylor Swift first billionaire on music and performances alone. |
| Japanties 04/02/24 2:57:52 PM #7 | The secret is to market yourself as a brand. Being a musical artist is merely an avenue to create a cult of personality around yourself. When it comes to Taylor Swift, it isn't about the music. |
