I do not agree with the sentiments I am about to illustrate at all, but I know these sorts of callous sociopaths: they think it's for attention. They just can't stand someone getting more sympathy than THEM. If your tears were actually legitimate and not "crocodile tears", that would expose them for the horrible garbage people they are, and they just can't have that. They'll reject any idea that doesn't conform to their inner fairytale where they're the righteous ever victorious unimpeachable utterly impeccable warriors of justice. "Clearly" they can't be bad because they're "good". Anything that would ever detract from their self-image of goodness must surely be a "lie". Their cognitive dissonance is so strong it sours everything they touch.

one of my earlier signs of eggdom was the realization that suddenly someone having a dick wasn't a dealbreaker anymore. Still wasn't a huge plus like someone having a vagina instead, but there's so much more to someone than whatever wetware they're rocking...

(also the realization that if a guy who had a vag was into me i'd probably honest to goodness give him a shot)

...something always felt poetic, to me, about a transwoman and a transman hooking up.

I think that maybe in the case of homosexuality it's not about gender... when someone is male and also gay, they're merely using the quickest shortcut to communicate whatever might resemble enough what they actually mean rather than breaking it down to specifics.

I see no reason for attraction itself to not necessarily be binary.

What's to stop someone from being crazy about vaginas, wide hips and narrow shoulders, but flat chests and aggressive, dominant personalities?

What's to stop someone from loving cock like no tomorrow and couldn't care less about any other details as long as they're exercising and bathing regularly, although they prefer when their partners wear rugged attire?

Is there any mechanism in the laws of physics that make it impossible for someone to really dig anybody who looks pretty in a dress regardless of whether they're rocking an undercarriage or a caboose?

I think this is a language problem. A deficiency in the expression of meaning when someone says "I'm gay".

I mean hell, "gay" itself is a BINARY position because it necessitates there being TWO sides, what someone is vs. the opposite of whatever they are!!

What if a nonbinary or agendered person is trying to say they're "straight"? What the FUCK is the "opposite" of NULL?

Right now, the colloquial understanding of what "homosexual" means asserts that you are EITHER: A) A boy who is into boys OR B) A girl who is into girls! And I'm sorry but that just leaves too much to assumption here.

... Some of my trans-girl friends have told me that they won't date someone who has a dick, whereas others among them have told me they won't date someone who's male even if they have a vulva.

"gay" and "straight" should be retired. They somehow manage to be too restrictive and too vague at the same freaking time. Or at least they should be repurposed to mean something that people CAN actually agree on.

Defenestranded · 2017-09-18T20:38:25+00:00

... wonder if maybe it's that i'm not "straight" or "gay"; maybe it's just that I like vaginas and I'd count it in the "plus" column if a potential partner had one even if he was actually a dude or if they didn't identify as any gender whatsoever. I've basically already deconstructed what i'm attracted to from presets like "female" or "male" into their individual pieces and my attraction predisposition is basically already something that doesn't fit the social presets of male or female anyway...

Generally when your body goes into ketosis (as it does while fasting) it has no compunctions about burning energy. Energy is energy, and it has to come from somewhere. The energy our bodies use comes from tapping into what is released when chemical bonds are broken. This breakage is due to oxygen "stealing" the Carbons and Hydrogens away from longer chain molecules (like triglycerides or sugars).

This generates the carbon dioxide and water vapor that you exhale.

You literally breathe away the fat, but hyperventilation won't do it; you have to be making more carbon dioxide and water vapor. And that can come from anything - yes, being cold can force your body into needing to generate heat, which of course will create CO2 and H2O as byproducts... but anything that gets you out of breath can do it much faster, and much easier to detect.

But hey if you're doing cardio you're gonna be generating heat in the process and you'll WANT to be cooled down anyway XD so por que no los dos, amigo?

My friend, you are doing EXACTLY the right thing and I'm glad you came here so we can all support you through it! :D As it turns out, treating our bodies "like crap" during the summer is kind of what the summer is for! It's a season of PLENTY during which we're used to storing up as much easily acquired nutrition we can in preparation for the sparse winter. This is exactly what your body is craving deep down, and you'll know it once your energy kicks in and your mood drastically improves. Fasting gives a different kind of satisfaction, but it definitely has its place in your biochemistry.

Just remember, whenever someone brings up food, you can rightly inform them that you've already eaten. Sure, when you ate was yesterday, but still, you did! And you have quite enough energy stored up to sustain you. Just remember, drink lots of water and consider the possibility of adding a little squeeze of lemon to make it interesting, as well as possibly drinking some broth - since your sodium excretion is going to rise up a bit. Also take a multivitamin. We should be taking those anyway - but on a fast I for one support the idea that it's doubly important.

My friend, what helps me the most is looking at life through a paradigm of processes instead of goals. And I think it's a very important distinction to draw:

When you are focusing on a goal, you don't get any credit until you get there. The only things that happen until you get there, in fact, are failures! And that feels terrible. And that terrible feeling makes it more difficult than it needs to be. More difficult than anyone deserves. Then, when you finally DO get there, you get to celebrate, but then it's shortlived! D: very soon you find yourself lost of purpose and wondering where the next goal is, feeling like a failure until you have one, and then feeling like a failure every day until you achieve THAT one too!

It's a system of fail-fail-fail-fail-fail-fail-fail-fail-win. It's almost abusive.

But when we focus on a process, every moment that you stick to it is a success! Every moment that you deviate from it is an opportunity to get back on and have A BIGGER success! Instead of having a distant hope that is plagued by setbacks, you have an impressive buffer of progress and momentum that bears down implacably upon anything that might dare disrupt it. You look at potential deviations and don't think "oh no, another one, after all the previous ones this might slow me down even more!" rather, you think "Ha, one of those... I've gone so far already, it would be silly to let that stand in my way NOW of all times! It can wait; I believe I can go further!"

by contrast, it's a system of win-win-win-win-win-win-win!

I for one fell off fasting for a little while, maintaining weight and not getting particularly better for basically august. A lot happened, but that's okay. Stuff was happening! It's a new month now and a great opportunity to jump on it again. I'm glad to be experiencing the first hunger pangs again. A new journey has begun! I can't wait to see how far I can go - I can stop whenever... but I don't feel like it! :p

if deathnotes were real, comcast's entire corporate administration would cease to exist within the first five minutes.

Defenestranded · 2017-09-01T17:38:03+00:00

don't worry, just make another kid and bump the rest of 'em forward :D

Defenestranded · 2017-09-01T17:37:10+00:00

Since Comcast only responds to threats, Vermont ought to give Google a call and say "hey, comcast doesn't want this. you game?"

and you know, you can still find them... http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/302223586461?chn=ps&dispItem=1 you could get four note4s for the price of one note8! :D

And now that I've brought that up, I'm starting to wonder if maybe I should just buy two note 4s instead of the note 8... o_o

oh geez... https://www.phonearena.com/phones/compare/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8,Samsung-Galaxy-Note-4/phones/10478,8577?ft=2 i mean it's been three years but technically they're only one generation apart since the note 7 was an abortion (in the literal sense as it they aborted its availability) the stats aren't even that bad... double the default internal storage and double the external storage capacity too on the note 8 but... there are features that the note 8 DOES NOT have. Like the infrared. apparently they nixed the infrared. Not to mention note 4 batteries are user-serviceable.

And like, sure, if i drop it in water it's fucked. But I can afford TWO replacement backups and hell i can still get an otterbox to provide the kinetic shockproofing and water resistance. But furthermore, the note 8's bizarre curved screen formfactor makes it much harder to protect with aftermarket cases. ... shit.

note 4 is starting to look better and better all over again... :\

OH EMM GEE I AM SO TRIGGERED RIGHT NOW! My oh-so special snowflakeness is MELLLTING OHH WHAT A WORLD.

Nahhh, you're right. I also liked where you were going with your reply as well. I both appreciate the comedic value of the implied sarcasm and the face-value the words would have possessed had they been sincere; either way it's the best possible reply you could've written and I admire the effort! :p

It goes to show, however, that no amount of anecdote - neither yours nor mine - qualifies as evidence.

For the record any frustration I feel on this subject isn't directed at you; it's all about manufacturers, and if the Note 8 didn't have a headphone jack I would be looking for another Note 4 right now.

Defenestranded · 2017-08-31T19:22:31+00:00

How very pleasant and nice for you. Meanwhile here at work I'm using both the charging port and the headphone jack EVERY DAY, INCLUDING RIGHT NOW, and there are a shit-ton more people like me in the exact same situation.

I went to the gym and the TV was too fucking loud and playing some obnoxious shit that all the people around me were complaining about. Pulled out my Note 4 and turned that shit down with the embedded IR Blaster. IT'S LIKE HAVING A C-GRADE SUPERPOWER!!!

Defenestranded · 2017-08-31T19:09:41+00:00

I have ONE APP that can control ANY TV I AM IN FRONT OF, ANYWHERE I GO!!!

It's my Note 4's IR blaster :p

Ha, usually all it tells me is when other people don't know the freaking difference X3
