I live <.5 miles from Sprouts and Costco, yet it’s so sketchy to cross the intersection as a pedestrian that I have resorted to driving for groceries 🥲

I love how we name laws that really mean the exact opposite of what their name implies. Very american.

I do 2700 steps, 2k elevation gain every friday (for the last 6 months) + hiking. My cardio has improved drastically but I am still terrible at running. No drawback really - maybe too much upper leg muscle eventually?

I live on the 4th floor, my breathing doesnt even noticably increase after climbing up, which is great.

Btw exercise is for building muscle and improving heart health. Dont delude yourself into thinking you’re burning a notable amount of calories, there’s a lot of misinformation out there. You lose weight by dieting.

As someone who lost 60lb this year: just stop eating ultra processed garbage. Find real foods that you enjoy, and make meals out of those. Eat as much chicken, vegetables, fruits, unsweetened yogurt, fish, eggs, etc as you want and you will lose weight. Unhealthy stuff is fine to eat on occasion but only if you consider it well worth the calories and you are aware of how much you’re eating. Dont mindlessly eat a family size bag of doritoes that you dont even like that much. Dont drown yourself in vegetable oil. I stopped buying loaves of bread, sweets, cereals (why are entire aisles of grocery stores dedicated to this garbage?) , carb-based snacks, etc.

Also no, working out does not mean you can eat a snicker’s bar for free. The new Kurzgesagt video explains how that works. I dont believe you’re gaining or even maintaining your weight at 800-1000 calories, but im just a random person.

The costco rotisserie chicken is only $5, just dont eat too much skin. Yogurt can be affordable and high in protein. Almond milk too. Nuts & beans are decent. Just look at protein to calorie ratios on cheap stuff so you maintain muscle, im sure you can find plenty of foods that work.

Well that kind of comes as a result of the whole ‘tracking your every move’ part

The screenshot thing is PAINFUL and way too common by management in particular

Elon better watch out! Four more of those and they might get a formal warning! A few of those in human trials and that could lead to a write up. Five of those and they’ll be looking at the possibility of a flat fine of an amount limited by the state!

The article literally says they sell your data to advertising partners. You’re paying a monthly subscription to give away your personal data for something as basic as a fucking printer. If HP doesn’t die my hope in humanity will be gone.

Imagine your thermostat sold your data so companies could solicit you with coats to buy, or your fridge sold the data of what food you have so shitty brands can beg you to buy their low quality trash because they spent half their budget on advertising.

I’m preaching to the choir but god I hate the ever growing data broker/aggressive targeted advertising trend.

To be fair, most of the content is written by AI’s, so it’s AI training AI

Just use notepad++?

I also just got a new job jan 1st. Submitted applications for a few positions, got an interview with 1 and an offer. 40% salary increase. Meanwhile my company was talking about how they couldn’t offer any raises because the job market was so bad right now lmao.

They probably assumed people would know which state they’re talking about. Classic Maine character syndrome.

Slap on some flex tape then pretend the problem doesn’t exist.

Maybe let me disable the useless emoji feature that pops up on mouseover rather than right click, maybe make it so copying messages after a triple click doesn’t copy the timestamp and sender by default but rather just the damn message contents, maybe add some of the incredibly useful features that apps like discord added years ago ie adjusting volume of specific people in a call, better noise filters, customization options beyond the extremely basic options they have right now, etc.

I tried posting a negative review that mentioned a quid pro quo (offered a gift card in exchange for a 5 star review) and Amazon removed it for not being relevant to the product. So baseless 5 star reviews are allowed but not 1 star reviews.
