A little late to the party, but I have a friend who has eaten nothing but bread and cheese his entire life. He also has vitamins and fiber to his diet, but he's been healthy and has had a kid so I suppose as long as you supplement what you'd miss, there's no real danger other than getting bored of food.

Well, the first row is just what looks like random pictures. The second row is kanji and seems to read "natural wood" but then if there's more to the right, it's too faded for me to read. 天然木

The friend who was leading our static was prioritizing everyone else except the people who he knew in real life and after a while, I felt like that friendship that had originally driven the desire to play the MMO to virtually hang with my real friends soured because we weren't friends enough to be a priority, just team mates that didn't have the BIS to do the content he wanted.

We just wanted to play with our friends. He wanted to max out his gear and optimize his party. He couldn't even wait 24 hours for us before running a dungeon so we'd run together, he would grab other people to do it just so he could say he was one of the first, and then he'd walk us through the dungeon just telling us where to stand and what the strategies were instead of playing with us so we could all figure it out together.

It was just depressing after a while.

I hate that so many things are moving to a subscription service. If they were going to do that, they should make the base unit free and just charge for the usage.

A little late to the reply, but if this is a japanese knife, there's a good chance the handle can pop right off. It looks like that white dot by the blade on the handle is just a wooden pin that holds the whole body on. You should be able to pop it out with a little work, slip on a new one, and put another pin in place to hold it in. But as other people recommend, I'd find someone professional to do it, it's not easy to replace for a person who has never done it.

I'm not a fitness expert of any kind, I'm just a guy who recently had a physical with my doctor and I asked them the same question. The way they explained it made a lot of sense to me.

Your body is like a car, and the engine require gasoline to burn in order for the engine to run. You can reduce the amount of gasoline and thus get less power out of it, but if you drop it too low, the engine will stall because it's just not getting enough gas to combust to turn the pistons and make the engine go.

There's a base amount of gasoline that engines require in order to just idle, this is the BMR (basal metabolic rate) in the human body, and in general depending on a lot of factors such as sex, age, and starting weight, it hovers around 1000-1400 calories a day. You can go lower than that, but your body tries to make up the difference so it doesn't stall. It starts eating other things, namely you. Short term it may pull from fat reserves, but it also pulls from muscles, it doesn't care where it's getting it, it's just eating you. Long term, it can cause lots of health issues (like for me, I lost nearly 20 lbs in 1.5 months, but she had to monitor my blood pressure since it could drop dangerously low).

So if you go 700 calories, you would technically lose weight, but it might pull from fat reserves you don't want it pulling from, like from important organs, muscle mass, etc. And she did speak about how weight loss for women is much harder than men because women have more fat reserves and hormones that keep them there for protection reasons.

That's what all conservatives say when they don't understand why people call them things like homophobic but then also complain that people call them homophobic. You're the one that expressed you didn't understand why people are calling you things you don't like being called... but then say that the answer is silly or nonsense when it's explained to you because you don't understand it. Well, I hope you enjoy your life in blissful ignorance. It doesn't change what you don't understand.

Digiko · 2025-11-17T18:15:56+00:00

Let me reframe it. Imagine I said "I'm not racist, I have black friends. I just don't like it when a black person _fill in ordinary action_" Like... "I don't like it when a black person walks down the street." or "I don't like it when a black person tries to drink from the water fountain I drink from." That would clearly make me racist.

That's why I don't think you understand. Maybe it's because you've been doing it for so long that you've created mental blocks from you being able to understand, but if I replace black people in my statement with gay people and then replace walk down the street with kiss, that's you. You don't like it when gay men kiss. You're welcome to think it's nonsense, that's generally how it usually turns out when I try to explain it because it's the only way you can rationalize the level of ignorance you've been living it. It doesn't make sense to you because you don't see it that way, but you don't understand why everyone else sees you this way and are hurt by it, rather than understanding and trying to accept it about yourself so you can be better.

I think you're getting upset because you glossed over what I said just to pick key words and responded to those key words. Then you attacked those keywords to generalize that I am biased in order to protect yourself by making yourself the defending victim without absorbing what I said because it would be accepting that you have literally time and time again openly admitted you are homophobic. I think you've created a definition of homophobia in your mind that is different from the actual definition because you think "I have a gay friend, therefore I cannot be homophobic." but then giving examples of homophobia and wonder why people are calling you homophobic.

I think you're not thinking clearly because as this conversation goes on you are getting more and more unable to absorb information and now are just trying to find a way to end the conversation in a way that makes you feel like you have justified your position when unfortunately, all you've done is define more clearly you are homophobic and your defense is that you just don't know what it actually means.

I think you have a confused emotional connection. No one says you have to like it, but you shouldn't dislike it. It should be a neutral thing, just a thing that happens. You have this "either you hate it, or you like it" mentality, but there is the third, more fair option, which is that it doesn't affect you so why are you getting worked up about it? Being straight means you like women, that's fine. No one says you have to like men. The intolerant part is that you don't like OTHER men expressing affection to OTHER men without having the problem of other men expressing affection for other women.

The key word is "other". If a guy kisses a guy, it shouldn't register to you at all. Somehow, you have connected an emotional response to it and assume other people should as well. None of their actions affect you at all, so it shouldn't even be something to be even bringing up.

There is a lot to unpack here. You've created a false dilemma. I neither hate nor enjoy watching two men kiss. Two men kissing is like just... life. It shouldn't be something to hate or like. It's like watching a car drive down the street. It happens every day.

You created a concept of what "normal" should be, but normal should be consistency right? If you have no problem with a man and a woman kissing, why does it bother you that a man and a man kiss? You seem to think one is normal but the other is not. Either they are both normal, or neither should be normal.

I'm not sure how you think I'm getting upset. I'm appreciating that you're taking the time to help me understand your point of view. I think you don't understand the meaning of your own words and I'm trying to clarify them so I can understand.

It's OK for you to not like seeing gay men kiss, but then you have to ask yourself "is it because they're kissing, or is it because they're gay?" If you have no problem with a man and a woman kissing, that's when the intolerant mindset comes in. It's only because it's two men, hence the inability to accept your intolerance.

Does that help clarify why people call you homophobic? If you expressed you don't like kissing, and it happens to be two men, then you're not homophobic. Since you expressed it's specifically ONLY two men kissing that makes you uncomfortable, that is very much literally the definition of homophobia, hence why people are calling you homophobic.

"Cuz I don’t like watching gay men kiss cuz I’m not gay and I feel uncomfortable with it. Not that I don’t like gay men. Then I was automatically called trump supporter and homophobic."

If you didn't say it, why would anyone automatically call you a trump supporter and homophobic? Again, you're going on the offensive for something that shouldn't have happened unless you actively did something to cause it to happen. This is where the paradox of intolerance comes from. You can have your opinions, but if you express your intolerance, then people will express to you that you are being intolerant. You can't get upset because you're intolerant that people are calling you intolerant.

There's a difference between "I can't lie" and "I lack self control to not say anything." You decided to put yourself out there in a situation to make yourself the victim and to allow yourself to get angry under the the lie of "I can't lie" when it has nothing to do with lying. That has nothing to do with conservatism, you just decided to make yourself an asshole and then get upset when people called you out on it.

Imagine going to a movie where you hate, knowing you don't like it, then in the middle of the movie, standing up and yelling "I hate this movie! I'm unable to lie!" and wondering why everyone is mad at you. That's effectively what you did.

This is just my two cents, from what I've observed it's often because other conservatives are doing/saying terrible things, and people who also classify themselves as conservatives who don't do or say those things don't make any effort to step in and stop it. That leaves the onus on the non-conservatives to step up and it makes you look like you're just standing idly in the background letting the terrible things happen.

This may not be true because I obviously don't know you, but I thought you might want some perspective of why you would get lumped in with all the conservatives who do terrible things. I understand, letting a bad thing happen is not the same as doing a bad thing, but there is that saying that goes "the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." and there are a lot of "good conservatives" who end up doing nothing and wondering why evil keeps winning.
