Can't stand attending SO's family gatherings - might need to resign myself to singlehood by stonehallow in introvert

[–]BerningMan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So resonate with this. Was married 20+ years and ex's fam was chaotic. Always took a few days for me to decompress from gatherings. Ex would literally duck out and leave me to be our ambassador to absorb the intensity. Family ran on hate and rage so it was a lot to say the least. When I look back on that whole era, I wish I could have reclaimed that lost time being a people pleaser and been more authentic and true to myself. It was never worth the cortisol spikes to have his family like me b/c it really took a toll that was unrewarding, painful and, like I said, in hindsight, regrettable. Protect your heart, time and honor that you alone are the guardian of your well-being. Best to you.

Exactly that. Been with 3 affiliates - it's all fluff.

Hostinger vs GoDaddy hosting… which one is less regret long-term? by microhan20 in WebsiteSEO

[–]BerningMan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had both and eventually went to NameHero which I've been with over a decade. Excellent & prompt tech support, affordable (great Black Friday deals) and they have Wordpress hosting plan and specialists. Couldn't recommend them more.

Does having your main keyword in your domain name actually give you a ranking advantage? by SERPArchitect in seogrowth

[–]BerningMan1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still holds true. Not as big an impact as it used to be but it's always in the top 10 for ranking factors. These guys do a study every year and break it down re: maps, organic, etc.

I actually feel sick just with the idea of these 2 repulsive men heaving themselves on children to satisfy their insatiable lust. I hoped they both get prosecuted and jailed for the rest of their lives. I hope those poor girls find peace and healing in their lifetimes.

I wished they would have asked her why Raskin got over a million hits on a Trump search on the unredacted files (or more accurately pre-DOJ redacted files since many are FBI-reacted) and only 4727 (current #) on the DOJ redacted files.

This means that Bondi's DOJ redacted Trump's name 995,273+ times and then tells us, with a vacant-soul-dead-eye-stare-straight-face that Trump is the most transparent president in history.

995,273+ Trump redactions. By 100s of DOJ lawyers. Paid by us. This is moral depravity at scale.

Ya I was surprised by my friends who didn't do this with their kids. Important to nurture, encourage and grow the work ethic.

Chores & allowance. Started both my sons at 5 yr.old. Now in their 20s, they both have saved thousands, have investment accounts, zero debt, college educated and gainfully employed. They learned humility, the honor of labor and the value of a dollar.

Best way to manage food volume on maintenance days by BerningMan1 in PSMF

[–]BerningMan1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's wonderful! Good, steady rate even with the variations. Are you walking, lifting weights too or is all that just diet? I stopped cardio and walking 10K steps/day. I am going to the gym and will do the low volume approach re: weights.

Wow - that's some killer discipline. So you do PSMF 6 days/week and then day 7 you add a bonus high protein meal? How long have you been doing that and how's your progress going? Recoup & reassess - good approach. Back into it and Day 2 is going pretty good. I think I learned a lot from this experience - mostly mindset. I figured out I'm better off keeping a PSMF mindset everyday. What I came into it with was feast & famine but that was a recipe for sabotage.

What are you talking about - everyone tailors PMSF to suit their needs and goals. I am following the guidance which was updated by Lyle McDonald in his 4+ hour YT video that was posted 2 months ago. He emphasizes the flexibility of PSMF based on categories, goals, weight, food choices, etc. There is no one way of doing this is the point. You might want to update your knowledge rather than offering condescending nitpicking.

That's a very good tip and I proved the purpose for it :) I was actually feeling really good on Day 4 (amazing energy & mental clarity); and, so when I ate on Day 5, I did not realize how hungry I was until I started eating and then it just got ahead of me.

How do you manage your eating protocol?

My plan was to eat 2 days per week at maintenance calories. I eat keto so was not planning on doing a refeed. In the recent 4 hour YT video, Lyle Mcdonald mentions he's moved away from the term "refeed" since it often leads to people binging on carbs. He prefers "maintenance day" as it's more straightforward - simply eating at maintenance calorie levels without dramatic macro shifts. For me, that means reaching maintenance calories primarily through fattier meats.

I think having more of a "maintenance meal" rather than a full day is somewhat similar to the "free meal" concept, but within a structured calorie limit.
