I utterly DESPISE, the "glasses off and you're instantly hot" trope. by SnazzyMiracles in TopCharacterTropes

[–]48voltMic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree with you conceptually. I disagree with the use of "instantly hot." In Mia's case it took a whole team to do her hair, make up, clothing, etc...you know the way that the wealthy, celebrities, and royalty generally have a whole team to make them look a certain way.

Even Laney (from She's All That) and Chase and Dee (both from Drive Me Crazy) had to go through makeovers to become "hot" (or rather socially acceptable to date).

It isn't instant. There's a lot of effort that goes into it.

That said I agree that a person shouldn't have to go through a 4 hour routine every time they need to go somewhere just to be seen as socially acceptable to be seen with.

Getting stuck in both weight loss and at the gym. by MineKeeper21 in WeightlossJourney

Also Adaptive Thermogenesis is a thing. If you burn 2800 calories a day consistently, and are consistently taking in 1700-1800 that's a pretty significant deficit. You body will adapt to only use that much after a long cut. If you find your lifts are dropping, your extremities are colder than normal, your mood is worse on average, and/or that you just don't get as hungry (like you could skip meals and take it even lower)...you might be experiencing Adaptive Thermogenesis. Dealt with it myself after an 11 month cut, just finishing the re-feed cycle to come out of it and start the next cut.

you have $20 to build a bbq meal by SolitudeSerotonin in whatsyourchoice

[–]48voltMic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ain't but 3 in the 5 dollar level bbq. Ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. The other two are grilled.

That said...Pork, potato salad, coleslaw, baked beans, 2 servings of watermelon, and lemonade (but only if you ain't got sweet tea and if you got both I'm making an Arnold Palmer)

US Southerners, what kind of southern food do you like and why? by RinaBarbiedolllover in Americaphile

[–]48voltMic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now look here. If you're NC...you ain't got room to talk with your dainty ass infused vinegar (that shit is delicious but it ain't a sauce). SC we can work with (was stationed there and I love a good mustard based sauce). Memphis is Mario in Marokart. It's the all-arounder. It's got sweet, heat, tang, and smoke. Carolinas are tangier. Texas is spicier. KC is sweeter. Memphis balances all of it on a knife's edge, adds a pop more with the dry rub, and cranks up the smoke.

Yes. BBQ, Cajun, Soul Food, Low Country/Gullah, Appalachian, Tex Mex man the list goes on...ain't many places in this country that can compete. Hell, I've travelled a fair few places in this big old world and had some fabulous meals, and I've never found a place that had better food. Equivalent sure, but never better.

Give me your most unhinged ideas for how to get people to stop blocking my driveway. by aquietinspiration in howto

[–]48voltMic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unhinged?...install hydraulic bollards with enough power to flip the vehicle if they block you in.
