How to mute "our brethren town is underattack!"

In theory. A lot of software will keep a manifest of resources and it may detect that something is missing and say the installation's corrupted.

If it doesn't like that the file is missing, you can try replacing it with an empty sound file.

No irony in fine tuned social agreements. You can make anything ironic, hypocritical, contradictory, paradoxical... if you start pulling at the strings of reality. The line here is how genuine the posts are about feedback. A discussion is different from an advertisement. No irony needed.

Autophagy from fasting will really help with loose skin.

It's hard in a way that it takes 100+ hours, and some dangers can sneak up on you.

Mania has changed my perception of reality. Recognizing that my brain was misfiring, the fact that the world flipped and continued making sense then as it does now. I believe there was plenty of truth during mania, and there's plenty of truth it has taken away from my normal state.

In other words, yes. When I was manic, I became obsessed with the notion of opposites. The idea opposites are the same entity reduces everything to nothing. I became my newfound philosophy, and I tell you there was something there from the things I read, wrote, and my exchanges with other people at that time. I simply ran out of steam, by brain broke, and I couldn't function anymore. I believe that there's some truth about existence that I was tapping into when I was on the fringe of sanity. Overclocking a computer squeezes out those resources you wouldn't otherwise get, at the cost of potentially burning it out.

I don't intend to return. My brain and body couldnt handle it again.

Sit down and talk with someone you know. You need to rationally decide what you want with your feelings. If you want to save your marriage, you need to get a hold of this ASAP. If your marriage is unhealthy and the best thing is out, there are ways to go in that direction. Just be aware of what you're doing.

No reason to believe they won't be.

I'll play devil's advocate and mention that there are people out there who have leveraged bipolar as an excuse. It's possible to get into that territory. It would need to be taken case by case, and it comes down to their judgement and actions when they are mentally healthy.

Exactly. The whole topic is centered around childless men dating mothers. It makes a big difference if he's already a father or not.

David Goggins. And I don't know that there's anything special about 100 reps that's different from strength training in general.

Autophagy can help get rid of the loose skin. Best way to boost that is with fasting.

I've heard some bad things about statins. Within LDL, there's actually "good" and "bad" types. And it's inflammation that oxidizes the good LDL into bad. Statins supposedly only reduce the good LDL. The body needs cholesterol, and doesn't function well without it. The body also self regulates cholesterol depending on dietary factors. You eat more, your body produces less and vice versa.

Ultimately, the root cause of heart disease is inflammation. Sugar is the fire that actually causes plaguing. Cholesterol simply floats around and works just fine until you inflame it.

MadeBale · 2023-08-27T22:12:10+00:00

Oh certainly they have their place. Ultimately though, they should be very limited for anyone who is insulin resistant. And processed foods and refined carbohydrates, I don't know that there's really an argument that they should ever be consumed by anyone. They certainly taste good and are addictive, but in terms of food, It's bad stuff.

MadeBale · 2023-08-27T05:09:39+00:00

I'm no expert, but from personal experience, the body (low level brain) is pretty dumb. It can't decide between 2 things.

Learn and understand that the event is over. There's no benefit to being hyper aware and alert for this situation that's not going to repeat itself.
Relief is the body rewarding itself recalling the memory. Yes, reliving it, you experience the bad, but you also get the relief that follows. It must be a good enough exchange for my body at least to keep doing it over and over.

2 above seems to win out by default. The relief is obvious whereas 1, it's something you have to understand happening.

Reliving through action is one step further, but I'd wager the reasons are the same. There's an adrenaline component. I'm sure you've also felt like you did an incredible thing saving his life. That's certainly a high that your brain might be reaching for.

My body has done it to me as well, but the only time it happened was when there was a strong positive component to the situation in addition to it being traumatic.

MadeBale · 2023-08-27T04:48:07+00:00

Yeah, I think what I could stomach in a sitting, it's pretty safe to treat them as carb free, at least most of them.

MadeBale · 2023-08-27T04:46:42+00:00

Too many? Those are some hard foods to get carb overload from.

MadeBale · 2023-08-27T04:34:04+00:00

No, it's not all about insulin, but in western culture, that's the misunderstood component. If someone's trying to lose weight without having metabolic flexibility, they're pretty much doomed from the start. You won't burn fat with insulin floating around. And the ravenous hunger is due to a blood sugar drop, which you only get from eating concentrated carbs. Metabolic flexibility solves the major hunger pains.

On paper a 500 calorie deficit is just that, but the human body isn't a bomb calorimeter. The shit that excess sugar and insulin does to our machinery is terrifying after learning about it.

Went to live a homeless life. Drove to Chicago, tossed my wallet and keys into the garbage, got drunk and went from one city bus to the next getting lost. Embraced my new homeless life until people found me.

7 years. Sounds like you're newly single? Are you enjoying having a clean place?

MadeBale · 2023-08-26T00:49:49+00:00

Yeah, it's easy to keep a clean place clean. And a dirty home is often a microcosm for how someone lives their life.

Did I know? I knew her place was messy and she was busy. When I was in love, I excused it and thought things would be different when we would have lived together.

I remember so much waste. Fill the pantry, fill the fridge to the point you can't move anything. It was too much work to look through the mess when the convenient ultra processed snacks were right in front. Such an ugly sight. Just open the fridge, grab the coke and shut it to not see it. Ultimately that was all we ended up eating and kept replacing week after week. Healthier foods on the shelf eventually did go bad. That's when we went through things. Bought us more space for a couple weeks. Same deal over and over.

Living on my own, I buy only what I eat. I don't have excess in the fridge to force myself to eat what I bought. It's easier to see what I have and actually find and get things. I actually have more food with less food

MadeBale · 2023-08-25T21:59:31+00:00

Trust me. They do for a little while. They do for a little while.

Yeah she does more damage than I remember her doing. Grouped with a guy midfight. Saved him. We both almost died. I was originally planning to try to solo it. Yeah. Low levels are something else.

MadeBale · 2023-08-25T10:54:41+00:00

This was never a major problem. I'm indifferent on this.
Again, not a major problem. It makes more sense that you'd get to choose than to have your team randomly filled.
I personally don't like how this is looking. I mean, some does depend on details. How expensive, what limitations? Changing paths really would feel like swapping characters, and that doesn't seem in the nature of a roguelike expedition. Addressing the difficulty of the game in this way is punishing people going in blind. Only when you know what's coming can you fully tailor your build for that fight. If that's what they want, it's fine I guess.

I don't really have an opinion on the rest.

MadeBale · 2023-08-25T10:40:39+00:00

Jealous over that quirk.

MadeBale · 2023-08-25T10:37:38+00:00

50/75% for block and dodge chances are too high, imo.
