Love the enthusiasm and clarity of your writing. I'm convinced.

If you're not familiar with European grocery stores, you'll have no idea what Carrefour is. "Supermarket Giant" makes sense to everyone.

Canadian here and I've never seen a Canadian Tire branded tool in my life. Are you maybe talking about Mastercraft?

Anyone smart enough to get around that would also be smart enough to get around whatever the government does to block it.

A summary for anyone who doesn't want to read through the whole thing:

  • Being "mentally unwell" doesn't mean you can't think and reason logically so the term is meaningless.
  • PTSD is a perfectly normal and logical response to traumatic events, therefore having PTSD does not count as being "mentally unwell"
  • Medications is bad because we don't know how they work and it only change what goes on in your body when the problem is external.
  • The problem must be external because why would different people have different brain chemistries?
  • Maybe some people do have different brain chemistries, but it's because they made that choice before they were born into this world in order to experience what it would be like.

The best and simplest explanation I've seen: The machine code tells the computer what to do while the source code tells the human why it's doing it.

Your computer doesn't need all the "why" information to run the game, so the compilation process gets rid of it. What you're left with are instructions on exactly what computations to do, and that's all the computer needs.

For example, you can see in the machine code that two numbers are being added together. What do those numbers mean and why are we adding them? The source code can tell you that this is code that controls movement, one of the numbers is a velocity, the other is the player's current position.

Plenty of resources freed up for propaganda instead!

We still pay directly for this though

Doesn't recycling oil require that you still have the oil in oil form?

my "fat loss" feels like it has been stalling a bit and I've been in a caloric deficit for quite a while

  1. Keep in mind that your body's maintenance Calorie needs decrease as your body weight decreases. It's unclear if you've taken that into account, but I'm putting that out there just in case.
  2. If your weight loss had stalled, it doesn't necessarily mean fat loss had stopped. If you're doing any kind of resistance training, you'll be gaining muscle as well, which evens out the fat loss in your overall weight.

I purchased this 10kg weighted vest ...

The issue I have with wearing a weighted vest throughout the day is that it moves your fitness workload into the parts of your day where you want to reap the rewards of being fit, thereby defeating the purpose of undergoing this journey in the first place. I can't speak for the effectiveness though.

For hiking/jogging, you might benefit from replacing that weight with something more practical, like water or snacks.

too

Funny that you say that. I always get the low end phones so I don't expect much performance-wise. I didn't even know it was possible for me to have a reasonable mobile web browsing experience because Chrome was always so awfully laggy while also making everything else lag and I didn't expect Firefox to be any different. Then I actually tried it, and holy shit the internet actually works. Not only that, I can't even tell that I'm browsing on a shitty low end phone.

Why haven't we seen any of that happening?
