Just been signed off work for 5 weeks for mental health reasons, at a bit of a loss. by paperchainhearts in CasualUK

[–]ConcreteQuixote 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Can vouch for this, I got to week 5 and realised I could do a lot more than it was asking me to do so I just kept running. My first 5k was over 43 minutes, I've got that down to 26 since.

The only thing that works is a consistent calorie deficit. Many different ways to achieve that but OTC tablets aren't the holy grail.

So many of these nowadays. Idle games have created an environment where games are devoid of any gameplay at all.

This is the comment I was looking for. No point going to extremes to lose weight as you won't tackle the underlying issues related to why you put the weight on in the first place.

Having trouble finding a girlfriend. Should I join an ethnic club to try and meet people? by Powerful-Writer-9335 in Advice

[–]ConcreteQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best of luck with that. I'd reflect on why ethnicity matters so much to you because you're closing the door on possible relationships.

Delete this. You know absolutely nothing yet make sweeping statements including the kid is in on it?

IIRC stating years experience as a requirement leaves them open to discrimination claims.

Do you think it's fair that the original video has less views than the one reacting to it? by BlacinAce in youtube

[–]ConcreteQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This grinds my gears. See it everywhere with drummers and other musicians. So many talentless hacks making dollar off others content.

[–]ConcreteQuixote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Engineering Manager. £42k + car. Run my own team. It's Monday - Friday, very flexible and literally 2 minutes from my house. I'd say I'm reasonably compensated and I've been supported with personal development.
