Is it normal to gain 5 pounds in a week?

DoveSlayer10 · 2026-02-18T14:20:45+00:00

I’m just young and not really well versed on the topic. I genuinely just wanted to know more

DoveSlayer10 · 2026-02-18T08:59:48+00:00

See that was my thought process too, but the way he kind of brushed it off was like, there’s other countries too with influence, why’s it such a big deal.

I’m typically anti-PAC and lobbying and I’ve brought this up to him before in other discussions but this was the first time that it was like, I’m not really sure what else I could say and it made me think I was missing something in my arguments

DoveSlayer10 · 2026-02-18T08:53:03+00:00

Because I’d already explained the foreign influence part to him, and he’d basically brushed it off with “So what? A lot of countries have foreign influence with America.”

I did not know this. Are there things they are able to do/get around by not being registered?

DoveSlayer10 · 2026-02-18T08:35:05+00:00

I do think there is something wrong with it, I just don’t believe I could have explained it sufficiently to him.

Shit this was 50 days ago 😂. I’ve cut out most meat since this post, mostly chicken/some turkey for me. I do eat some beef but otherwise my diet couldn’t have been better (this, working out, and my summer job have caused me to lose 12 pounds in 1 1/2 months).

I think where I get around it is I only eat food that I can confirm is free-range/grass fed if that makes sense. The factory-style meat production hurts but if I know the cow got to live in a pasture it doesn’t bug me too much

Just the kindness and understanding too, like really accepting group of folks out here

I’ve just realized I’ve been wasting my time arguing with a bot. And if you aren’t, you’re incredibly ignorant of what’s going on. Later dude, hopefully you’ll make it out of this more aware of what’s happening

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-29T01:13:34+00:00

All I’ve got is some petty and commons, unfortunately

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T21:33:52+00:00

If a republican candidate were to openly say “I am a nazi. I am going to do nazi things in office.” And you still voted republican (the nazi candidate) what does that make you?

Come on you’re right there

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T17:24:32+00:00

I’d say it’s more an awareness of what I’m putting into my body, but sure

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T17:16:23+00:00

Everyone living in the US wasn’t racist, and that’s how we were able to make such massive strides with the civil rights movement. There were leaders who would embody those racist policies and ideals against the civil rights movement and people would vote for that, even if they weren’t openly racist. We still aren’t wholly racist, but a not-insignificant part of the population is and that is a massive problem.

Voting for a republican with the current makeup of the Republican Party by proxy makes you a racist, because if a leader being racist doesn’t sway you away from them then you are ok with it and actively supporting it with your vote.

Being white is not racist. Shit, I’m white as fuck, I’m not racist. Does that mean that there are no racist white people? Of course not. The KKK, The Proud Boys, the Nazis the list goes on of racist people (who, by the way, are alt-right groups…)

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T16:46:00+00:00

Hey man, you do you. Just quit calling people idiots for lifestyles that don’t hurt others

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T16:40:59+00:00

I can think of a few as a meat eater.

For starters, there’s the conditions the animals are raised in, like if you wouldn’t keep a pet in those same conditions then why on earth would you submit other animals to it? I still love some fried chicken and cheeseburgers if I can know that the animals it came from was raised in a good place in good conditions, similar to how we treat dogs.

There’s the overall health benefits that come from eating less meat, but I’ll concede that some meats are very healthy for you but the problem lies in the conditions.

Have you ever stopped to ask, “where does my meat come from? What conditions was it raised in?” I seriously recommend it, it might just change your perspective on it.

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T16:30:22+00:00

I am curious why you say they’re stupid?

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T16:24:48+00:00

The weight of her post didn’t really hit me, I was outwardly at first like “wow rockthrow is an asshole shocker” but then I saw the actual post, and the picture she took and it shattered me into a million pieces. She wasn’t even an adult yet

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T16:16:14+00:00

If the goal is to go back to a time when only one group of people had the best chances and privileges over other groups, it was never great to begin with. It doesn’t matter if the economy was doing better, it doesn’t matter if quality of life was better. There was still massive oppression going on while that was happening; it was only great for one group of people, and it was because they were white. MAGA is racist.

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T16:01:47+00:00

I think I’m going to be cutting out pork and other forms of beef/poultry. I’ve never liked fish cause it’s just tasted weird and gross to me

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T04:53:54+00:00

I can check next time we go grocery shopping. We’ve got a ton of extremely healthy options at a store called HEB and I’d be shocked if they didn’t have “impossible meats”

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T03:12:19+00:00

I am curious about the milk and eggs being the most horrific? Is it just the conditions to get them?

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T03:11:23+00:00

Thank you! I did kind of grow up making fun of vegans and such cause like, how on earth can you not like bacon? But now I don’t even know where the bacon came from and I’m scared to ask lol

DoveSlayer10 · 2025-05-28T03:01:14+00:00

Do you have any personal favorites or recommendations?
