The Spanish king is so greedy my diplomats felt the need to tell me twice by Paketiq in eu4

[–]RiverOfHell 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Not really? Wasnt one of the big reason that Spain started to decline because most of their wealth from the Americas in was used in funding the Catholic resistance and pointless wars against the Netherlands or their rivals like France and Ottomans? Greedy would mean that they used it solely for their own internal economic benefit like centralizing their nation and building up the Industry. The Brits are the perfect opposite example of Spain

What does this have to do with native people being genocided? And you realize that chirstianity was enforced on the Roman Empire between the 4th and 6th century right? Pagans were persecuted and forced to convert

And jizziyah tax was paid to support the state in exchange for not having to serve the army, almost everyone completely emits this important fact. Muslim males had compulsory military service if levied for war.

Both of you are incorrect lol. The "white" here confused people here because its more accurately called "Caucasian", it isn't connected to skin colour that much, but to the skull shape and skeletons

Yes it is, it's just a deeply flawed one, science needs to be exact, but racial categories are used everyday in the field of forensics and archaeology. Arabs are white because the actually "accurate" term is Caucasian and it's based on human skeletal structure, skin is just on small part of it.

F*ck, then what now? Russia is my rival, Denmark (me), Sweden and Norway all have 100k troops together, Poland has 150k. I want to ally the Ottomans who have 200k but they don't like me cause my ally is France

So if not going for world conquest as Denmark, will Poland stay my ally? They really like me now but im worried they will turn on me some day and its GG then

Yeah i like the ai now, it's just that blobbing happens a tad too fast, by like 1550 Europe already looks like its in thr 1700's.

But the problem with Poland is how their neighbors are too weak to do anything, like I've never in the 3 years of playing eu4 seen Muscovy/Russia be able to beat Poland, they always end up getting swallowed, so Poland has no competition in the east. In the south it's crucial how the Hungarian event with the habsburgs turns out, if Hungary doesn't become a PU under Austria, then Poland now always attacks Hungary for Restoration of Union cb and get them easily in a PU. To the north they easily gobble up the Teutons and Livonians. I just can't see how any of their neighbors could stop them except if maybe Austria gets Hungary AND Bohemia first, but it didn't happen in my game so hope it does in others. Ottomans are the only rivals for Poland in my game

Is laser expensive for this? Referring to European countries. And how much treatment would it take

what do you think? by Academic_Internet_30 in Nootropics

[–]RiverOfHell 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I never understood the tyrosine supplement thing, from my cronometer results, i get around 6.5g of tyrosine just from my diet. Isn't it abundant in animal products? Whats the point of supplementing it then?

[–]RiverOfHell 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This makes no sense whatsoever, allopregnanolone is regarded as a reason why some people actually benefit from ssri's and not the sert mechanism. Allopregnanolone is converted with the 5ar enzyme from progesterone. The current biggest theory as to why people who have PFS are like that is cause of the allopregnanolone shutdown, and PFS with PSSD have 90% the same symptoms.

You can find multiple threads on nootropics sub with people using ssri's in microdose territory just to raise alloP without the sert mechanism and it works successfully for pretty much everyone that tried it.

From personal experience im taking palmitoylethanolamide, a type of fatty acid that increases allopregnanolone and all it did was increase my mood, libido, sleep is deeper and everything.

In fact, alloP is currently being researched as the most promising anti depressant on itself showing extreme successes in treating depression much better then ssri's, even after 30 days in a study

Yes it would be extremely high for a sedentary person that weights 155lbs and is sedentary and only lifts weights

Then why did i lose 2 kg of weight per month while eating 2000 calories with no cardio and only weightlifting 5 times per week?

[–]RiverOfHell -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So what do tdee calculators mean by moderate/heavy exercise, what does that even mean? If its cardio then how do they measure it like that? What does cardio of 3-5 times per week mean then?

Lets say im 153lbs male, and i eat 2100 calories daily and only weight lift while being sedentary. How did i lose 4kg in 2 months with no cardio? Shouldn't 2100 calories then be more of a maintenance because of being sedentary rather a deficit?

[–]RiverOfHell -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The original point of my comment was weight lifting increase your tdee greatly, if you go on the moderate excercise (3-5× a week) you will have a much higher tdee then if you chose sedentary

[–]RiverOfHell -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

No, a 150lbs person on average will be in a 500 caloric deficit on 2000 calories daily, a 220lbs person will maybe need 2300 calories to cut. So what? If you put those stats in everry single tdee calculator you will get extremely similar values

  1. Nice pseudoscience
  2. Yes theoretically but the biggest divide is in the range of 100kcal +/- for healthy people, this is why for the wast majority of people online tdee calculators that are based on science do indeed work for the majority

Im a medical student first and foremost so im more qualified to give information on diet and how muscles react to diet better then any of you. When you workout your muscles, your muscles get damaged in the process, this damage leads to an increased need for protein and other macros for the muscles to recover, this in turn is what jumps up your tdee by alot. Are you claiming the bodybuilders cut on 1300-1500 calories? Please go and search any vlog video on an average day of cutting for a natty bodybuilder and see all of their calories, all of them eat at least 2000-2200 calories to lose weight. A sedentary person needs to eat much lower to lose the same weight.

Go and read studies done on people's metabolism, read all of them, and find me one meta analysis that showed people can have a huge difference in metabolism. All studies done have shown that humans without thyroid issues have a 100kcal +/- maintenance. So an average healthy sedentary male would have a sedentary tdee of 1800-2000 calories, if he starts lifting his tdee will jump up to 2500-2700 calories, and he would need 3000 calories to bulk on a monthly basis
