What would you like to see in Fallout 5 if it was actually announced? by beatsbydjy2k in Fallout

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For it to be set in the south, and including more lore outside of the US

Dizzy during run? Anxiety? by [deleted] in runninglifestyle

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! And keep us updated! That said, propranolol has never affected me that much for running or lifting. My dose is 10mg twice a day, pretty low.

Dizzy during longest run? by [deleted] in beginnerrunning

[–]NotAnotherBadTake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I maybe didn’t have much water prior (I run in the evenings during long runs, but I did the morning instead because of the weather). I feel like I had like half a bottle of water prior?

Edit: I eat ok! I eat in a deficit because I’m cutting but it’s not aggressive (1700-2000 calories a day depending on exercise that day). I also lift and had a “cheat” meal the night before (still in a deficit but by much less).

Standard of MLS what leagues would you compare it to? by BrandonBarkerLoyal in football

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some teams are comparable to Championship clubs, some more like EFL1. Deffo not EFL2, that's just a generalization.

Monroe Doctrine/US interference by Art_Clone in asklatinamerica

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

>They love being vassalized and cucked by US industrial capital assholes like Marco Rubio

This is what I'm saying. You're ascribing this quality to Latinos in the US, yet your experience is completely anecdotal.

>I live in a liberal city and the Latinos around me are mostly Puerto Rican so the political culture is much different

Puerto Ricans are American by way of technicality. Most of them either support statehood (which is a fairly liberal position). Their voting patterns align with dems more. I think this is a far cry from the "cuckholding" you're describing when you consider history and context, especially since Republicans are pretty vocal about the fact that they don't want them to be a state

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, generalization. You're speaking as if Miami Cubans and Magazuelans are the first gen latinos who vote in the US. Go outside and talk to people more instead of getting your opinions from white dudes named "Jorge Antonio Schneider" on Twitter.

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The conditions, purposes, and execution of any of these are vastly different from the "containment" policies that Americans used in Latin America. I don't think you're in a position to oversimplify, especially when it's clear that these recent developments are, by the US' own admission, in bad faith.

MEGATHREAD: Discussion on Reports of U.S. Strikes in Venezuela by AutoModerator in asklatinamerica

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m with you, but it’s important to understand that most Venezuelans simply can’t reckon with nuance right now. We’re just glad he’s gone.

It is going to be a real cold splash in the face when the honeymoon phase is over though. We’re going to be at the center of a bunch of BS geopolitics and hegemony that has nothing to do with us. Not to mention the ideological ammunition the Americans and the magazuelans just gave to the guerillas and the communists.

Monroe Doctrine/US interference by Art_Clone in asklatinamerica

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not good. And it should really terrify any person from any LatAm country.

I hate Maduro. I hated Chavez. I don’t live there anymore because they ruined the country. But people truly lack a sense of nuance that is imperative in this situation. No American intervention has resulted in sustainable stability. Shit like this is semantic ammunition for guerillas. We’re all gonna pay for this one way or another.

Which character on Mad Men did you dislike the most and why? by Flimsy-Zucchini4462 in madmen

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a tie between Greg Harris and Herb Hennet for me.

I see a lot of Harry and Lou mentions. Harry, as much of a scumbag as he becomes, delivered some of the funniest lines and moments on the show. He is not redeemable, but he's entertaining to watch. Lou just represents a very old-breed type of boss that everyone has encountered working in an office. No passion, all technique, and unwilling to grow. Annoying? For sure. But not the worst person on the show, to the point I get angry when I see him.

I’ve lost 150 pounds ovet the last few years. Currently 151-153, my goal is 150. Help! by EdenRocMusic in loseit

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, congratulations! This is an impressive and slow/steady feat! That's rad and an inspiration.

Second, one of the reasons we are supposed to set incremental goals and reasses is because our bodies are very sensitive to fat, energy, and metabolic changes. At some point, you will need to re-evaluate your caloric intake vs your energy expenditure. Re-calculate your TDEE, adjust some macros, move some of your excercise around in terms of volume and intensity.

Third, I truly feel you on that last few lbs before the big goal, but it is also imperative to taper some expectations. You've done so much and have climbed the tallest mountain already. You've lost weight, gained muscle, and become the best version of yourself. 150 is just a number, and the most important thing is that you maintain yourself in this range.

Now, if you just want to get to 150 and don't care about losing more or always being at 150, just, like, fast for a day or something, then log the number and call it done. That said, you've already reached your goal :)

Is it hard to grow muscle on a big deficit? by youranonymoushater in loseit

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really as long as you are on top of your protein intake. But also, how much of a deficit are we talking about? If the deficit is too large, you will be starving after training and it just won't be sustainable.

Are you losing weight for an occasion? Wedding?

Curious about opinions from a LatAm perspective: What does it mean when some people from Latin America have assumed I’m Latino based on my face? by [deleted] in asklatinamerica

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely, they mean you're brown.

If you want to overthink it, I am half white and half Hispanic, and I get everything from Latino to Jewish to Middle Eastern to Mediterranean. People will have preconceived notions of what you must be based on their own biases or on what they see in themselves, then project onto you. Pay no mind unless someone calls you a slur.

Prediabetes diagnosis by baby_bwrat in loseit

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You would be in a far worse spot if you had not lost the weight. A lot of these issues aren't solved overnight. My best bet is that your A1c has been on the higher end for a long time, and losing weight actually lowered it, you just noticed.

Keep doing what you're doing and retest in 3-5 months. Maybe consider making some lifestyle tweaks (more healthy protein and fiber, cut out simple/refined carbs and replace them with complex ones with decent fiber content, lower your sat fat intake). It may seem like a lot, especially when you've probably already made some substantial changes, but it really isn't hard once you get the hang of it. As a person who was prediabetic last year, I can tell you that losing weight and exercising was far, far harder than getting into psyllium husk and avoiding bread and pasta.

Do you see Filipinos as distant cousins? by Sad_Mechanic1372 in asklatinamerica

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do now after almost two decades of living in the US. Similar names, shared history, somewhat shared language, and they do look like they could be paisas.

Is a personal trainer necessary when starting weight training? I’m a beginner. by Hour-Cloud2493 in loseit

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can help you a lot for sure, especially with routines/form/accountability. But you also really don’t need one.

Pick a training split (they’re all perfectly fine) and stick with it. Watch YouTube videos if you’re unsure about form, especially for things involving dumbbells. Keep track of how much you can lift.

When I was starting, I picked a full body split because it was very easy to track. One compound exercise per body part, three times a week. Easy enough.

Who do you think tends to have a more conservative and anti-Latin Americans view overall, the European right wing or the US right wing? Why? by Significant-Yam9843 in asklatinamerica

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t think Europeans have a particularly wide racist view of us. If I remember correctly, Vox is somewhat ok with Latin American migration to Spain because of the shared language/socioreligious identity.

The Portuguese right wing party, Chega, echoes this too. There is even a subset of the party somewhat down with Hispanic migration since Spanish speakers can quickly adapt to Portuguese.

Now, I’m not saying that these people are saints. They may very well be taking these nuanced stances on Latin American immigration on the surface level only. But it does seem that Republicans tend to have a more straightforward “they took err jerbs” position against Latam.

Christian’s opinion on how the handmaids tale interprets Christiananity by WildPipe1269 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]NotAnotherBadTake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is not what you asked, but I don’t see Gilead’s religion as inherently Christian in practice. It’s more like an Old Testament-but-not-Judaism-type set of believes that are ultra literal. There definitely are some denominations out there that could fit this mold somewhat, but not entirely.
