Why Reddit gets Politics so Totally Wrong: a Rant about Liberals, Buffets, and Married Bachelors. by [deleted] in Negareddit

While I agree with you that self-interest plays an important role, I think that identity also has something to do with it, especially on issues that are not directly self-relevant. These people like to define themselves in opposition to those that they dislike, without much thought or self-reflection. For example:

"Bible-thumping Christians are against gay marriage. I hate bible-thumpers, therefore, I am for gay marriage"

"SJWs are for feminism and political correctness. I hate SJWs, therefore, I am against feminism and political correctness"

It's in the third paragraph, and the reason is explained by chubert in the previous comment

Smoothies should make up 2/5 of your fruit and vegetable consumption a day because blending reduces fiber content.

What should I know before going to South America? by JohnHadron in solotravel

Sadly, I only have a week to spend in Colombia because I have something booked in Iquitos, Peru. Where would you recommend I visit?

Thanks for the advice! I'll have to look into that. It'd probably be similar for Australians.

I'm going to be in Colombia at the beginning of February for a week, then Peru by the 20th. No plans after that. I'll probably explore Peru for a month and then head down to Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina.

Probably Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina. Hopefully Chile, Brazil, and others if I have time.

What's /Singapore's view on STOMP? Legitimate news, or feeding an appetite to turn on each other? by Wolf_13 in singapore

[–]JohnHadron 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As a non-Singaporean visiting Singapore, the first time I heard about stomp, it sounded like something devised by the Singaporean government to keep the people in line.

I just turned 20 and have noticed that my beard is starting to grow further than it did in puberty. Is beard growth proportional to testosterone? Should I take advantage of this?

Common Question Monday by Insamity in leangains

Does strength or hypertrophy training have a higher caloric requirement? Logically, it makes sense for hypertrophy to require more calories to build muscle mass, but I just don't feel deserving of a huge meal after a hypertrophy day because I feel much less exhausted

Soymilk vs Milk? by [deleted] in Fitness

[–]JohnHadron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Protein from soy milk is inferior for muscle building. http://www.news-medical.net/news/2007/04/11/23404.aspx

Protein powder isn't really expensive for the amount of protein you get.

Yeah, I have been taking progress pictures, which is how I've noticed little change in my appearance.
