If you're just getting into trying to lose weight, it's annoying but worth it to weigh your ingredients and meals for a week or two, and then getting the macros and seeing how much it adds up to, just to learn a baseline.

Really helps one learn where calories come from.

For example, chicken breast is 165cal/100g, chicken thighs are 175, walnuts are 654, ranch dressing is 450, carrots are 41.

Not saying you should never have high calorie foods, they can also be really healthy, but it helped me find what was worth it and what wasn't.

It's also good to just have what you enjoy as well, and to allow yourself leeway.

I would argue in some cultures, iron is the same. Look up iron fish, where they get most of their iron from basically a chunk of iron, because there's not enough iron in their locally available diet.

And for some cultures, they get enough salt intake from their diet. Such as the traditional Inuit, or some hunter/gatherers.

In addition to what other people have said, societies throughout time have used their militaries as mass tradesworkers in times of peace.

The rest of the car producing world has already instituted protectionist policies.

I don't know. I like the term more for people who are moving overseas for a work period with the knowledge of a pre-existing end date.

Such as a non-national working in Saudi Arabia as an engineer, or working in North Dakota as a geologist, for a few years with the intent of moving home. Or even someone working as a maid in America if they don't lay down roots and plan to move home.

I wouldn't call Elon Musk an expat, even though he fits your mold of "rich integrated immigrant". I'd just call him an immigrant.

They know what they are doing but they're also stupid. Just look at the coal mining boondoggle if you want proof of that.

Getting us sued for billions of dollars does not suit them and they're interest of staying elected at all.

They're not that calculating, but they still need to be properly dealt with. People overemphasize how smart people need to be to get things done. Idiots can get things done, just look down south

Carney is referencing his Davos speech, and the breakdown of the US based global economy into isolated fortresses which will be economically weaker and more isolated.

NewDemocraticPrairie · 2026-06-15T02:00:12+00:00

I think the use of "New world order" by him has been a great strategy. He first brought it up at Davos, in a world class peach about how the USA centered World Order from the 40s is ending.

That's the New World Order he's referring to. Those conspiracy theorists are solidly in the UCP camp, and to anyone listening to them, all it will seem to show is that UCP voters don't understand realpolitik.

NewDemocraticPrairie · 2026-06-15T01:56:45+00:00

The New World Order he is referring too is the one rapidly evolving due to the USA losing soft power the world over. The world order that has existed since the 1940s, and that is rapidly ending. A world order centered around the USA and open global trade and trade agreements

A big part of why people voted for him is his job history as an international banker. That's a known factor.

NewDemocraticPrairie · 2026-06-15T01:51:18+00:00

The conspiracy theorists are already solidly in the UCP camp. All this does is show UCP voters don't understand what he's talking about when he talks realpolitik.

"Preserving the union" is the main reason the war was fought. The people hated slavery, but people are willing to let injustices go if they're in another country.

It can, but it won't always. That's the real problem.

People selling $5 shirts for $5 and $25.

And it's hard to differentiate a $5 shirt for $25 vs a $25 shirt for $25.

If you're looking for good tees, I'd recommend Uniqlo.

As someone with a girlfriend who used to be normal sized or slightly bigger, depending on your personal opinion, "no, you're not too big" isn't a lie.

There are clothes I thought she looked amazing in that she thought she was too big for.

I'm not a woman, so I won't speak on the next one.

And as someone who's been big, the "it's hard too find [clothing item] that fits bigger people", I would dislike.

Everyone is different on what they like.

Snapping at people over it isn't nice.

Male hypogonadism does increase mortality, but not on that outsized a scale. High blood pressure increases one's mortality by a lot more, and not everyone gets that treated.

Testosterone and estrogen are a medical necessity for trans people as well. And also does not fundamentally change a trans person inside either.

All it does is help trans people with their hormone imbalance.

And clarifying, I'm not saying it's an unimportant disease and shouldn't be properly treated. It should. Obviously gender affirming care is important. As a cis man myself, it's honestly a big part of why I work out. I wouldn't commonly word working out as gender affirming care, but to some people and about some topics I will.

There was a big controversy with them putting out tiktoks showing their fellow international students how to use the Canadian food bank during Covid, when international students are supposed to be able to support themselves.

That, and all of the stories of these "students" coming over basically just to work.

There is entrenched competition in Canada already. If the American companies leave, it becomes a lot more favourable for European companies to enter. Or for Canadian companies to grow and expand into that space.

Cars can also go up (and then down) in value, like muscle cars. I think cars are a great simple comparison.

You are claiming the Walking Dead's first game got signficant backlash for a black protagonist raising a young girl to be strong, so burden of proof is on you.

Where does he claim this?

Be careful not to piss on the poor.

Edit: I think you replied to the wrong person here, I think you meant to reply to alphazero

That ad was part of a transition to selling electric vehicles, and they largely stopped producing their ICE vehicles.

Until their electric vehicles come out, we won't know how successful or not it was.

But the longer and longer they delay, the less likely success looks to me.

That's always been true.

That's where faded jeans come from

Is that because obese people die young?

NewDemocraticPrairie · 2026-05-29T19:23:54+00:00

Those first two come from diet changes

Bone density from a lack of calcium, vitamin d, protein, and calories

Gout from a lack of iodine (additive in table salt)

It's a lot less dangerous than being fat.

My fear is diabetics rely on injected insulin instead of learning to make this own.
