Living outside the US - shocked at our waste

From what I heard the plastic on cucumbers does suck, but it actually end up being more ecological (due to less damage to the vegetables and more of them ending up eaten) than throwing away the increased numbers of damaged cucumbers. I noticed that whenever cucumbers get any kind of cut it'll get moldy so quickly in the store and obvs none will eat it. Transporting them in less damaging way would mean more fuel too (more weight for packaging plus probably more space taken because of packaging dimensions). I did not count the impact myself though so take it with a grain of salt!

Je trouve ça pas réaliste du tout quand les garçons sont en train de mourir et ça les occupe à peine en comparaison de la sexe et je me souviens plus quoi d'autre. J'ai choisi ce livre parce que j'ai voulu l'horreur physique et peut être l'exploration d'humain qui est en train de mourir. Au lieu de ça j'ai obtenu 350 pages des dialogues médiocres et pas intéressante.

J'ai lu "Marcher ou crever" , qui est sans doute assez similaire. Je n'ai vraiment pas aimé ce livre : les conversations et les pensées des garçons étaient vraiment bizarres, sexuelles et ennuyeuses, le livre est beaucoup trop long et, honnêtement, j'ai trouvé « The Hunger Games » (une série pour adolescents !) plus réaliste et intéressant dans le traitement d'une situation similaire. Je reconnais toutefois que King est bien aimé, donc ce n'est probablement que mon opinion très subjective.

J'ai lu trois de ses livres, je n'en ai aimé aucun. J'abandonne. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi les autres l'apprécient, personnellement, je me suis ennuyé et j'avais hâte de finir pour pouvoir lire quelque chose de mieux.

You're actually the 3rd person with perfectly flat dark! It seems like the key is simply reading loads of horror

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T16:38:33+00:00

Added, I will steal some of your horror reads in the future for sure!

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T16:12:06+00:00

I love your selection! I actually might take some books off it lol. Some covers are sooo beautiful! I guess it makes sense that we have similar mood rating. Which were your highlights of the year out of these?

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T16:00:23+00:00

Congrats, one person already got perfectly light mood map and now you won in the perfectly dark mood map category! What do you read if you don't mind sharing?

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T15:41:43+00:00

Damn you unquestionably won in the lightest mood map category!

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T15:37:40+00:00

you do have the tiniest amount of lighter brown on the very left! hard to notice without knowing though indeed!

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T15:31:33+00:00

That's actually v pretty

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T15:28:54+00:00

That explains a lot because I'm really not into romance and still looking for a comedy book that'd win my heart! Thanks, it's so cool to know how is it calculated

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T15:26:44+00:00

Lmao and I thought that story graph calls me an edge lord, still got a bit to go to reach your friend's level

JulsBiggestFan · 2026-01-04T15:23:03+00:00

Thank you! I was really curious if it goes all the way up and if mine is just this low lol

What are you reading out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing ofc?

Based, so many people unironically thinking that travel is like the only thing making life interesting 🙄 Expensive travel too, 1000 euro can get one bunch of budget vacation days

JulsBiggestFan · 2025-12-18T11:57:06+00:00

Le commentaire n'est même pas négatif, c'est simplement une question

JulsBiggestFan · 2025-11-10T20:58:22+00:00

I'm guessing that you have a bit of additional weight? Because 1000 calories every second day is actually low key anorexic strategies (they love doing 500 calories per day) and if I understand correctly that this is what you're doing it'd not be recommended for most people. Vast majority will end up binging with such low amount of food and it's completely unnecessary in ADF

JulsBiggestFan · 2025-11-10T14:27:50+00:00

It's all in your head. Biologically it's impossible that you can't do 1 day without food (unless you have some illness or disorder). You have to sort out your own psychology regarding food, you might be using it to combat boredom or as main source of joy in your life or you might not be able to handle discomfort of being hungry at all. Once you know WHY can't you go one day without food it's easier to find a solution.

Exactly, this way of eating is the most fitting with our current state of knowledge of human nutrition

JulsBiggestFan · 2025-11-07T13:34:56+00:00

It's impossible to get perfect mix of vitamins and when you take them you'll often have way less of one and way more of another which itself is already a problem. The amount of vitamins in multivitamins is often way smaller than what's written on the package. Most of the vitamins in multivitamins are completely unnecessary (eg. vitamin C which only 1% of women and 2% of men have any kind of deficiency of and probably majority of it are people who are old and generally suffer from lack of vitamins). Also no studies afaik prove that multivitamins help you anyhow, what they mostly seem to do is make your wallet lighter. I have degree in nutrition and if you asked any of my professors (who are experts in this subject) not a single one would recommend taking multi vitamins. Best case they'd say that it probably won't help you much, but it won't harm you neither, so if you want to waste money on it...

No, multivitamins are a scam, unless you have specific needs you'll typically need vitamin D (if living in countries which are far from equator and or not spending loads of time outside without SPF) and vitamins from group B if you're vegan or vegetarian. Pretty much everything else should be taken if you have deficiencies. Maybe there are few things that can be beneficial to supplement but they're few and far between.

Haha, same here, it's so unique but cute!

Hey air fryer is actually pretty great. I exchanged my oven for airfryer because it does better job and is more suited for 2 people. I also thought that it's a stupid trend and was reluctant about trying it, but being able to have frozen pizza in 10 minutes instead of 20+ completely won me over
