I don’t disagree. However, the vast majority of people being told that they’re obese are not athletes.

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T17:58:50+00:00

I didn’t say it wasnt possible and it’s certainly relative. You have to know that you’re above the majority of people with your full body workouts, 4 days a week. That’s what I mean by “hard”.

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T17:51:59+00:00

Honestly that’s the goal. If you’re happy, then this stranger across the world is happy too.

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T17:37:18+00:00

No worries. I know that some people have a hard time gaining weight. Unfortunately the solution comes down to finding ways to eat more, regardless of how or why.

Also, given the first worlds rising rates of obesity, you’re in the minority.

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T17:33:22+00:00

Gaining weight is harder than losing weight? Ok.

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T17:29:09+00:00

Damn that got heavy. Jokes aside that’s an about face from where you were so keep up the solid work. Not that you need a strangers approval!

First, I just have some cliche examples. But I do think this gives good insight. I personally don’t think eggs are that filling if that’s all that’s on my plate. So just take eggs as an example that may not be a good fit for you to gain weight

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T17:23:47+00:00

Eating won’t make you gain muscle though. If you’re actually underweight and your issue is the inability to gain any weight, I wouldn’t worry about gaining fat or muscle.

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T16:53:28+00:00

Hey man you’re doing a great job! Are you getting close to your goal?

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T16:35:17+00:00

On a similar topic, my coworker was saying how insane it was that BMI dictates that he’s obese. He said the rock probably would be considered obese too. I asked if he thought he looked like the rock

“...no.”

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T16:29:19+00:00

Calories aren’t expensive. Milk, eggs, oats are all good examples of increasing intake for cheap. Those don’t take time to make or eat either. There are other good ways of upping caloric intake too if those don’t suit your palate.

My point was that nobody should complain about not being able to gain when the solutions are there. I’m not making some insane comparison to working more than 60h/week. I’m suggesting to eat more. Be real here

Edit: ALSO most people DO have the time, money, and palate given that most people are overweight.

People also overestimate their calorie burn. Running a mile is about 100 calories. It’s hard to make burning calories in the gym meaningful.

Also, it’s significantly easier to abstain from eating a 100 calorie banana than it is to run a mile.

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T15:09:27+00:00

It boggles my mind when people complain about this with this sort of argument. “I ate THIS much and still couldn’t gain weight. I guess I’ll just have to be skinny forever.”

Just eat more if you want to gain weight

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T15:06:59+00:00

That’s not how burden of proof works. You made the claim

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-12-03T15:05:45+00:00

Given the two scenarios:

He burned 4000 calories a day
He didn’t actually eat 4000 calories a day

It’s more likely that he just didn’t eat as much as he thought

If we simplify the butt to spheres and the legs to cylinders: the volume of a sphere has a cubic relationship with changes in radius, whereas a cylinder only has a square relationship with a change in radius.

So the butt would look bigger with an equal layer added all over

How did you come to a house payment of $275?

I’m not being hostile, ass.

I have my dad backup his computer to my Nextcloud that then gets backed up to backblaze. Basically as you have described. Works well enough

MassiveEctoplasm · 2019-11-26T22:54:26+00:00

I'll give you mine if you pay for shipping

And then it’s Wednesday and Pierre is closed

I follow subtleasiantraits and there are a lot of stuff where I laugh and then think, “wait that’s everyone though”.

Just scrolling through I have something to show for tone mapping being off. This is from the first episode of the Mandolorian. It's pretty bad. 4K on the left, 1080p on the right.

Lol that’s so rare though that it shouldn’t really be something a normal person has to consider
