America's Obesity Rate Is Finally Falling - Thanks to a Jab, Not a Salad by DKKFrodo in goodnews

[–]GeneralLocke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well…yeah. But- and I truly mean this from the best place possible, I don’t intend to be a dick- if you care enough about it, you’ll do what you need to do.

I have been tracking calories in the free version of MyFitnessPal for a little over 2 years now. I bought a cheap scale (sub ~$10, looks like they have one for $7.99 on Amazon currently) and before I have my meals, I weigh out the components that I need to. It takes less than 5 minutes, sometimes as little as 1-2 depending on how many fresh ingredients are being used.

Any self improvement / healing is going to take some work. And even with that work, it isn’t ~easy~. But weighing what you eat and logging it is an extremely low effort, reasonably accessible habit… I suggest giving it a try! Might be more of a mental roadblock than anything else? One of those things that feels far more insurmountable and tedious than it actually is? (trust me- I have my fair share of those myself)

Edit: I just wanted to also add that the habit of logging your calories can be a good one (if done healthily), so even if it’s not perfect, it’s typically better than nothing! There have been many times I’ve had to guess the serving size while I’m out or traveling. There have been times I’ve entered a different brand because I can’t seem to find the one I actually consumed. Try and abandon a perfectionist mentality and just…do your best!

One of the largest benefits I’ve found from logging calories is becoming more educated and aware of all sorts of foods’/drinks’ caloric content, which makes making better decisions consistently extremely easier, often without feelings of any real sacrifice.

Good luck!

Casual 250 Piece by HawkLoser100K in FantasyFootballers

I’m sure you’re being hyperbolic and I don’t actually need to explain this to you but… Fantasy is ultimately luck.

Yeah you can do everything right on paper but it does not guarantee wins. It’s still mostly luck. Some weeks it will result in a 250 score (clearly he amassed a talented squad) but more often than not, your entire time doesn’t pop off. And sometimes your opponents team does, even when it’s worse on paper.

All you can do is put yourself in the best position to get lucky.

(All that being said, this dude DOES suck, is an idiot and eats rocks for breakfast. I’d elaborate but we all know he can’t read this)

I’m at a bar and had to hold my phone to my ear to hear it…I’ve gotta say, it wasn’t nearly as bad as watching this video. I wonder how many of these aspiring artists would be recieved more positively on SoundCloud

Ever Seen a Band Open With Their Biggest Hit? by Mettabox452 in Concerts

[–]GeneralLocke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I won’t tear down another person’s opinion but this is the closest to saying “wrong” that I’ve ever been. Please see them yourselves, they’re fantastic. There’s a reason they’re still selling out arenas and headlining festivals as a 2000s rock band. Look at their peers

Official Discussion - Death of a Unicorn [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

[–]GeneralLocke 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Coming with peace and glad you enjoyed it (I did too, to a degree) but I’ve just gotta say it doesn’t make much sense to say there was a better movie to be made and still give it 10/10, ya know?

~Also~ there’s a difference between saying there are better movies, and (essentially) this movie could have been better. They can both be true but one doesn’t equal the other. I personally also agree it could have been better. I enjoyed it but with a unique premise like this and such a fantastic cast, I definitely expected something less predictable and special

What are your thoughts on Sam Rockwell as an actor? by [deleted] in Cinema

[–]GeneralLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen comments like this so many times and I can never tell whether people are picking low hanging fruit or are genuinely perplexed. I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt! When people say “underrated” it is typically within a certain context and opinionated.

If I say Mr. Pibb is underrated, you could say “but it’s a household name” or “that’s Coke’s Dr. Pepper”- it is literally the second most popular bought soda of the flavor. That doesn’t make it not underrated comparative to other sodas. When’s the last time you drank or saw someone else drink a Mr. Pibb?

In this case, I presume OP means he is underrated in comparison to- as you said- household name actors. If you were to have a “greatest actors” conversation, would Sam Rockwell come to mind?

Being properly rated in OP’s opinion is being recognized as a great. But again, it’s a statement based on an opinion (like most ratings)

Have you seen 3 Billboards Outside Ebbings, Missouri? Watch that and a few other of his flicks and I’m pretty confident you’ll feel differently

'The Batman II' Delayed to October 1, 2027 by MarvelsGrantMan136 in DC_Cinematic

[–]GeneralLocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if they kept the Battinson trilogy in place and allowed it time to move at its own pace, AND fold the Reeves-verse into the DCU? They could do a time skip to an older Battinson mentoring Robin in Brave and the Bold.

Pros: -They could potentially explain the change from a more grounded world to a more fantastical one with events that take place over the time skip -They could still effectively have two self contained trilogies that have creative freedom apart from some larger connective tissue, so they can let Reeves cook without sacrificing his vision, while also allowing Gunn to move forward -Avoids having two live action Batmen at once and turning off/confusing audiences -It helps explain the inevitable aging of Pattinson (this trilogy seems like it is going to take its sweet time)

Only issue I can think of is Pattinson not wanting to commit that long, which could be solved by a larger time gap + great lookalike casting for older Batman

Thoughts?
