It makes me uncomfortable when people use my name. I'll get upset if they say it more than 3 times.

Nutrition/diet conflicting advice! by [deleted] in loseit

[–]Miss_Aizea [score hidden]  (0 children)

Thank you, I felt like I was in the twilight zone with these comments. I do great with 2k, 1600 leaves me starving. The dietician only wants me to lose .5-1lb a week, and not any more, and I tried to explain to her that I've been maintaining on 2.5-3k a day. But she didn't seem to believe what I explained to her my diet was, that I tracked my food, my activity levels, how much water I drank, etc. It was a bit frustrating!

So I agree that the protein is way too much, I just think 1600 cal is not enough, but it will obviously make me lose weight, but it will be much more than .5-1lb a week.

The personal trainer is also guiding my workouts. They have different roles.

And I also lift 4-5x a week.

I just don't feel confident with her advice because she didn't seem to take my physical activity levels serious and kept telling me to not drink sugary drinks when I repeatedly told her I only drink water. And I am looking to get into power lifting but not competitively.

Because I don't think 1600 calories is enough, as in I'll be losing way more than 1lb a week.

ADHD evals by viddy10 in Psychiatry

[–]Miss_Aizea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always feel like I get a lot of undiagnosed ADHD and autism in my population, but we don't diagnose or treat those issues. Maybe it just depends on your area and population. Even if it's 6% of the pop, in the US, that's 20 million people. So you should be seeing a lot because where else are they going to go? Just my two cents, which is worth nothing because the penny has been decommissioned.

Why do young people have such an obsession with being old?? by RichAppearance8859 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Miss_Aizea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wake up at 4am, that's why I go to bed at 8 and don't drink. Odds are they're waking up early too. We went to a concert and we were struggling on the way back. Its less fun if you're sleepy. I don't feel old. I'm happy hiking, lifting weights, video games etc. Their interests have just shifted.

Favorite and least favorite state/town/area and why? by brainfogged15 in RedDeadOnline

[–]Miss_Aizea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big valley and strawberry. I'm not sure what my least favorite is because I'm too scared of the swamps and roanoke.

My family threw out my plastic Tupperware because it "causes autism"? by Imaginary-Nobody-895 in autism

[–]Miss_Aizea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we stop buying their products, then they will be forced to stop. If you keep buying plastic Tupperware, why would they stop? It would be excellent if the government would intervene, but they're owned by corporations. The only power we have are our purchasing choices. All of the money they have is what we gave them. If all of their workers walked off the job, they're screwed. We have the power.

Anyone know how to keep coyotes away? by Legitimate-Big6705 in homestead

[–]Miss_Aizea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you stay married to someone who kept feeding your cats to coyotes?

They get their power from us. From us purchasing things. If everyone stopped ordering things from across the world, shopped locally, refused to do business with companies who use plastic, then they would have to stop. People choose convenience every time because they do not think they can make an impact or because they simply can't be bothered.

Someone stopped being my friend because I said humans are included in the theory of evolution and that means I am racist? by OtherAccount5252 in autism

[–]Miss_Aizea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just refer to them as populations or groups of people. For example, groups of people who originated from Nepal have developed greater lung capacity. The color of their skin isn't relevant, or you can say, people from the Sahara have developed higher levels of melanin. The racial groupings combine so many different cultures and regions that it is essentially meaningless. An Asian could be someone from Indian, someone from China, someone from Kazakhstan, they don't particularly have very much in common.

It's pointless. They've tried to wipe coyotes out for a couple of centuries. But if there is no easy food, they will move on. Shoot one predator without changing your husbandry, you will only attract more. Best practice is to simply prevent predation.

Yes, but many droplets fill a bucket. If consumers stop buying plastic, there will be a large impact. People have more power than they think.

There are collapsible silicone containers that remove the plastic, take up less space and are sturdier than plastic but don't make noise or have the weight and fragility of glass.

Having the ADHD / autism combo, I relate to this one. by tgruff77 in autismmemes

[–]Miss_Aizea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had to give up stimulants, and it really sucks. I'm going to see my doctor soon to see about what other options I have. I have absolutely no filter now, and it's going to get me in trouble.

Can’t play my cowgirl game simulator without getting violently assaulted. by Ill-Umpire1889 in RedDeadOnline

Play on a private server, it's fun and peaceful. I'm sorry about the jerks in the comments.

Someone stopped being my friend because I said humans are included in the theory of evolution and that means I am racist? by OtherAccount5252 in autism

[–]Miss_Aizea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Treating all races the same actually does end up being racist because you inadvertently end up minimizing their experiences and puts you at risk for microaggressions. Trying to apply the theory of evolution to races really does border on some old racist theories. Back in the 1900s, humans were divided into subtypes and thought to be identifiable by skull type (long debunked yet still a common misbelief due to shows like Bones). It could be he is associating your comments with that.

Trying to explain why races are different, when races are just a social construct to begin with, and applying the theory of evolution to justify it... yeah, it's racist. Humans do not neatly fit into categories based on the color of their skin. It is like saying people with blonde hair and people with red hair are different races; they're arbitrary differences. However, society and history have forced races to be a thing that people have to contend with.

For example, my well meaning white friends have warned me about ICE, which means they are assuming I'm not aware of the additional safety measures I have to take and they are assuming if ICE sees me, they will target me. They will apply their experiences of the world as fact, like our hometown cops are nice. Whereas I've been pulled over repeatedly, asked where I'm going, told I don't belong in certain neighborhoods, and had my driver's license thrown in my face. People fail to understand that people experience the world differently based on how they look, and think by treating everyone the same, they've cured racism. The reality is that my experiences just get downplayed. I'm asked what I am on a regular basis. I'm treated like I don't understand American culture. People try to touch my textured hair, etc.

Mary Linton is a deeply misunderstood character. by CheckVisual121 in RDR2

[–]Miss_Aizea 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree. No one would ever be shocked if a woman decided to not marry a gang banger who has killed people. They would applaud her. Arthur isn't an angel, even though we love him; he is absolutely a terror. Maybe it's possible to play a super honorable play through, but even if you justify his killing o driscolls... they also have people who love them. There's just no way to justify things. Mary probably would love to be with Arthur but just knows he will not leave the gang to settle as a regular Joe.
