Random Fail: First World Problems

[Zetanio]

......is there any argument on BG that isn't petty? shit, even poopdeck, which is ostensibly the place for serious discussion of serious things, is 90% bickering over semantics.

When you say semantics what EXACTLY do you mean?

[BaneTheBrawler]

I mean I'm going to stab you in the neck with a soldering iron.

[Zetanio]

Is the soldering iron on or off? It would definitely cause more damage if it was on but you may lose mobility with the stab because it would have to be plugged in. Would it be battery-powered?

[Charismatic]

I mean I agree but the petty-ness of the argument forced me out of lurking to complain about people complaining. I blame Aks.

Be careful, I'm pretty sure Elcura got banned for that!

[Bardicrune]

Butane soldering iron = best soldering iron

It could be one of those portable gas powered ones.

Or, you know, my dietitian. Who I pretty much trust to know what she's talking about when it comes to diet and nutrition.

Lawl that's the most comical thing I've heard in awhile as doctors rarely understand how many variables are important when they give textbook advice.

I'm insulin resistant/ PCOS/ various other shit so when they say I need to eat whole grains and fruit and whole wheat and carbs I'm like um no, but they think they know what's best based on their own education.

While some aren't so black and white too many are so focused on what they know they aren't willing to accept other alternatives.

Personally I intermittent fast because I don't get hungry, so from 8/9pm to 9/10am next morning or later I do fine - will everyone, nope. And my metabolism got better based on what I ate and activities not on when.

My point is don't buy into that anyone knows best , do your own trial and error.

[Roranora]

I like breakfast and get hangry the days I don't eat within 2-3 hours of waking. Breakfast food is some of my favorite. Would anyone else have breakfast dinners with family growing up?

Eggs, bacon, veggies, cheesy grits, toast, pancakes, biscuits&gravy, cinnamon rolls, etc. are acceptable all hours of the day.

6' 175 lbs. 40+ lbs lighter than my heaviest during peak-era XI. I only ate junk in between Fafnir windows. Similarly, I mostly only showered when wyrms allowed. Jesus, how could I explain that to anyone other than you assholes?

[Melena]

It's 1030, I'm eating lunch now so I don't get fatter by eating breakfast. Personally with my job, my lunch could be at 12, it could be at 2. Dinner is normally at 730, so that whole 16-20 hours without eating doesn't fly. As is I'm not fat for eating breakfast. I'm fat by having way too many carbs. Why must bread be so fucking delicious? That's the real conspiracy

Why have our bodies not evolved to love the taste of healthy food?

Interesting enough when I cut out junk food/processed which is most times now , everything tastes better and I feel better.

[Boyiee]

The wife lady never eats breakfast, weighs 105lbs, is a nurse on her feet all day working 13 hour days and lunch sometimes gets pushed back to as late as 2. Kickstarts your metabolism and dietitian were definitely lolworthy. She's lucky if she gets coffee in the morning.

Only reason I eat breakfast is because if I don't I won't reach my calorie and macro goals for the day.

Yay intermittent fast buddies.

I usually only "eat" between 2-3 and 8-10ish pm. I put eat in quotes because most days that first bit of calories is just protein powder in coffee maybe some fat in there too. I don't get any real substance usually till 5-6.

Part of the reason I went to this beside reading up was this is what I just did without thinking back when I was young and it worked great. Only gained weight when I exercised a ton otherwise nothing stuck. Then but as I got older I bought into the whole eating several meals a day and well that didn't work out so well. Like went from 140 to 210 in a few years while losing the muscle tone that had got me up to 140 in the first place so tons of fat.

idk, the nutritionist at mayo had some spot-on advice for me.

"eat whatever doesn't make you sick."

[Aksannyi]

Honestly right now I eat breakfast every day because I have to be at the school by 8:30 and lunch isn't until 1:45. I would never make it that long without eating anything.

[Churchill]

I think you could.

[Aksannyi]

Physically, yes I could. Would I want to, especially when I'm supposed to stand in front of 20-30 8th graders all day and talk to them about Shakespeare? Hell no. No one wants the bitchy teacher.

[Churchill]

I think you could do it.

[BaneTheBrawler]

i'm not sure if the woosh makes that more or less brutal
