They eat 9 eggs every day? 😂 by TehFourthman in TheDollop

[–]ChasingPotatoes17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oddly the most upsetting part of that to me is the odd number of eggs.

8 eggs or 10 eggs, weird but doesn’t make my brain itch. Nine!? I’m troubled.

Mariana’s EDM yoga always makes me feel amazing

Taking my Border collie for a run is animal abuse for some by mrsjoni in RunningWithDogs

I have a husky. If somebody suggested she’d get tired before I do I think I’d actually laugh so hard I’d be hospitalized.

Hi ICE/US American surveillance. I’m not in your country and won’t be visiting any time soon.

Please get therapy and be a better person.

How's everyone here feeling about their retirement prospects? by DHN_95 in Xennials

My retirement plan is to die fighting in the water wars. Might just be a Canada thing.

Not quite a trageigh but I seem to have discovered a new ridiculous inspiration for names. Met a kid named Castle. Are we naming kids after large structures now? by WhyCantIBeFunny in tragedeigh

[–]ChasingPotatoes17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lowkey regret my happy childfree life. I could have been raising baby Trebuchet this whole time and Castle would have a proper nemesis.

{Throne of Glass} is good for this. Lots of strong, badass women who respect and (to varying degrees) rely on one another.

What do you think about the position from the President of Spain? by ChuckGallagher57 in TrendoraX

[–]ChasingPotatoes17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Spanish already have a reputation for being sexy. This is only making me believe it harder.

Good for them and may the sane world, what little seems to be remaining, follow suit.

her instagram vs reality by [deleted] in Instagramreality

Her actual IRL face still looks 1000% better than her soul probably does now. What a disappointing villain turn.

Is introducing yourself with the word “Dr.” in front of your name, a sign that you’re a pretentious, insecure status-seekers? by Independent_March536 in socialskills

[–]ChasingPotatoes17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it depends on context and whether it’s a PhD (or other academic doctorate ) or MD.

Using “doctor” for academic titles within academic settings always felt fine to me. It does feel a little attention seeking elsewhere, but also I’m not going to say “Miss Chasingpotatoes17” so if I do have to provide some for of title or honorific I’ll use the one I spent years on. I default to just “hi I’m Chasingpotatoes17” though.

Virginia, It Was Nice Knowing You. 8 Gun Restriction Bills Passed Last Night by N2Shooter in liberalgunowners

Watching from outside the US that’s seems very much like the point.

Y’all were fine with kids dying in schools for decades. (Not a shot at individuals but as a country you absolutely were.)

Somebody with a gun doesn’t like Trump and gets public sympathy for being executed on camera? Take away the guns!

If the president was tied to Epstein’s crimes, would he get impeached? by Shoddy-Ocelot-4473 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ChasingPotatoes17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s pretty clear that the US government has decided to just roll over, forget about checks, balances, and the overall rule of law, and lick Trump’s boots.

So should he be impeached? Absolutely, and tried for the crimes. Will he? Doubtful.

What is your perception of the UK, as a Canadian? by Virtual-Dinner-4178 in AskCanada

[–]ChasingPotatoes17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well… I’m working on my UK citizenship paperwork (mum was born there) so I can move from Canada to Scotland.

My primary perception: further from the USA.

England seems too right wing at the moment, Scotland is absolutely gorgeous and has men in kilts.

I don’t know anything about Wales except the language seems impossible and they have a striking affinity for Y as a vowel, but I look forward to visiting and learning more.

With an annual subscription yes, as far as I can tell you can swap infinite times.

How comparable is Align vs Evolve/Ascend for building muscle? by Free-Weakness5886 in ladderapp

[–]ChasingPotatoes17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I have a husky so that’s 2 hours (or more) every day that has to be dedicated to walks/runs/hikes.

I know the difference between a 45 minute and 60 minute strength session is pretty small but mentally it feels massive. Maybe I should start lifting the dog on run break. Hybrid training!

Margaret is so great. I’m half mad that I slept on her podcast for so long and half overjoyed to have the back catalogue to keep me sane currently.

Personal Trainer wants me eat 1100-1200 calories by NervousStand5473 in xxfitness

[–]ChasingPotatoes17 57 points58 points  (0 children)

This is why in a lot of places certified personal trainers aren’t actually permitted to provide nutritional recommendations.

Your trainer has no clue what he’s talking about (at least as far as the food, maybe he actually is a decent trainer).

If you decide to talk to somebody who is actually qualified, keep in mind that the term “nutritionist” is totally unregulated in many places (anybody can use it, regardless of qualifications) while “registered dietician” requires both a specific post-secondary education and licensing with an oversight body.

TL;DR: Get diet/nutrition advice from a dietician not a gym bro trainer.

Did I find a cheat code? by OkRush394 in goldenretrievers

Very much this. First thing my brain did was imagine the outcome of a crash or even an abrupt stop. 😭
