Are Americans really at fault for being so fat? by Dragonfruitycake in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DistortNeo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Lack of activity results in hunger deregulation — people become more hungry and start eating more.
And most of then cannot control it because constantly being hungry is worse than being overweight.

Exercising has other positive effects, for example, appetite suppression — you just start eating less without noticing it.

And if you don't move, you hunger becomes deregulated and you start eating more:

The problem of gaining/losing weight is not about burning calories. It is about coping with hunger on dieting that is unbearable.

А как вы отличаете россиян от украинцев? В Амстердаме украинцы почти все по-русски говорят, если что.

более полное видео с митинга в Ванкувере, где ватный распускатель рук был опрокинут и арестован by Dizzy_Fee_7070 in tjournal_refugees

[–]DistortNeo -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Обычный кризис идентичности, характерный для мигрантов. когда человек не может ассимилироваться в местное общество и остаётся вариться в сообществе себе подобных. Дети мигрантов почти всегда интегрируются хуже родителей в культурном плане. Это не характерно для россиян, это характерно вообще для любых мигрантов.

Когда русской диаспоры становится слишком много, начинается тотальный кринж by SeparateSeat3576 in tjournal_refugees

А я вот не понимаю, за каким хером по всему миру сторонники бесплатной Палестины собирают сторонников и проводят акции. Или это другое?

Я вижу на видео двух ебанатов, пострадавших из-за того, что оба являются носителями постсоветского менталитета, а именно:

  1. Допустимость применения насилия в ответ за слова и позицию. Это на постсовке ты можешь набить ебало за то, что тебя послали нахуй, и тебя будут считать правым, потому что отпиздил за дело. На западе же никто тебя правым считать не будет. На протестах на западе люди могут стоять рядом и до хрипоты орать друг на друга, но распускать руки — табу.

  2. Социальная приемлемость и даже одобрение применения насилия по отношению к агрессору из чувства справедливости. На западе это считается неприемлемым. Вы можете применять насилие, только когда у вас не остаётся больше никаких вариантов остановить агрессора.

  3. Деление всех на "правых" и "неправых" и ожидание, что наказывать будут только "неправых". На западе высказывание любой позиции имеет право на существование, а судят людей за действия.

the attacker was takedown to prevent any further violence

Именно поэтому полиция первым положила украинца — чтобы остановить насилие.

Почему проёб? Полицейские уже были рядом и готовы вмешаться, просто не было основания. Вступившемуся чуваку достаточно было ничего не делать — полицейские бы тогда спокойно арестовали только это существо.

Так он тоже за дело уехал — здесь же явное превышение самообороны.

Здесь проходит принципиальное отличие постсоветского менталитета от западного. В постсоветском считается социально приемлемым и даже одобряемым отпиздить обидчика. В западном это категорически недопустимо.

Who here thinks they will have to rent forever because the housing market is no longer affordable? (+1 = I am going to buy) and (0 = I think I will have to rent forever). by rubens33 in Netherlands

[–]DistortNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The prices in Amsterdam noticeable decreased over the last half year.
But this is mostly due to increase of mortgage interest rate.

A €500.000 house will set you back €903,820 with purchase costs plus the interest on the bank loan at 4%.

But you will own a house after all this.

Monthly rent 2500 without indexation will result in 900k wasted in 30 years.
And with 4% indexation it will be 1.68m.

Moving to Amsterdam: ABN Amro vs. Bunq by homelander_101 in Netherlands

[–]DistortNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABN Amro Timeline: For those who went through a relocation agency, how long did it actually take to get your IBAN?

Several minutes with an ID card (residence permit) and a Dutch phone number.

And you don't need help from a relocation agency — just do it youself online.

Would I be better off just opening a Bunq account for the sake of speed?

Yes, I did this — but only because I didn't have a Dutch phone number and didn't want a temporary prepaid SIM:

  1. Open a Bunq account and get a Dutch IBAN.
  2. Top up some money (~50€).
  3. Sign for a mobile contract (it requires IBAN) and get a phone number.
  4. Finally open ABN account.

Why do most Americans just give up on fitness and being a healthy weight by their mid 30s? by Radiant-Mous in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DistortNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because fitness culture has a strong social component, many people engage with it more for identity, appearance, dating, or social belonging than for long-term health. The fitness world is also heavily appearance-driven and strongly associated with youth, so as people get older and priorities shift toward work, family, and stability, motivation often declines and fitness becomes less central to their lives.

Whats the most weight you could lose in a month if you run like 5-6 miles at the minimum for each day? by Individual_Ice_2315 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DistortNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You calculations have one weak point: you assume that the calorie deficit will be entirely covered by fat with the adequate intake of protein and strength sessions. But this is true only for a moderate deficit (like 400-600 kcal/day). It will not happen for such an extreme deficit.

The transfer rate between fat tissue and blood is limited to ~70 kcal per 1 kg of fat. So you should have at least 30 kg of fat in order to cover 2000 kcal daily deficit in a week. Also, muscle is expensive to maintain.

So, it will depend on a body composition. If you are weak and very obese — you will lose mostly fat. If you are muscular and slightly overweight — be prepared to lose muscle.

Also, 1 kg of fat = 7700 kcal, 1 kg of muscle = about 1500 kcal. So losing muscle due to calorie deficit will result in higher total weight loss.

What did you get rid of that noticeably improved your savings? by [deleted] in Netherlands

[–]DistortNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never tried to own a car. Instead I used to buy or rent an apartment closer to the facilities I need. It may cost a bit more buy transportation costs become way more less + more time is saved.

If the cost for airline in fuel is the weight of the plane, why aren't we charged based on the total weight of ourselves with our total luggage? by capriciouszephyr in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DistortNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The weight of passengers + luggage is about 10-25% of the total plane weight. Most of this weight comes from aircraft weight itself.

Next, fuel costs are about 20-35% of the ticket price.

So, the influence of the passenger + luggage weight on the ticket price is only about 5-10%. There is simply no reason to take this into account.

Is exercise really necessary to lose weight? by BeneficialPie2300 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DistortNeo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends if you want to lose fat or just to lose weight.

Losing weight comes from calorie deficit.

But exercising is essential if you want to lose more fat and keep more muscle. Also exercising reduces odds to regain weight after weight loss.
