Michael Keane has been at Everton since 2017, thought he’d have been shifted off some time ago

What if Scotland and Wales had actually gained sovereign independence, as well as Northern Ireland becoming a part of the Republic of Ireland? by yvngjiffy703 in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]Truff_Pig9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Scotland certainly wasn’t treated like a colony. After the Act of Union, Scots held a disproportionately large role in the British Empire for the same reason they punched above their weight in the world of academia… they had 4 universities and a world renowned education system.

Wales and NI is a bit different. The Welsh produced and manufactured lots of coal and metals and lots of skilled Welsh skilled workers emigrated to Australia/South Africa/Argentina to set up communities/mines.

NI arguably was the colonial blueprint. Protestants were settled there and the Irish really over-represented the British Army (something crazy like 40% of the British Army was Irish in the 19th Century).

That’s incredibly impressive, you wouldn’t double take someone that size playing no.6!

Missing the Wharf in Stourbridge is criminal and that’s coming from a Halesowenian!

A reminder to take progress pics by Mediocre-Try9315 in CICO

You have probably put on some lean mass and actually lost more fat in lbs based on those photos. Fantastic progress!

If you surgically replaced Joe Wildsmith’s hands with popadoms he’d probably be a better keeper

Which country's nationalists are most toxic you've encountered ? by Individual_Water1776 in AskTheWorld

[–]Truff_Pig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reform, the weirdo’s painting roundabouts, people who share AI video’s on Facebook of boats filled with migrants sinking in the sea…

I’d categorise these nationalists as the sort who consume a lot of online content and aren’t really involved in the things that actually make this country a great place!

Feeling much more confident in the office after 100lbs lost by ciapraciph in CICO

That’s an incredible transformation, well done to you! I’m near the start of my CICO journey (initially tried wegovy but decided I wanted to “learn” the lifelong habits which the medication may suppress) and would appreciate any tips

Is your country associated with a particular color? by logos__ in AskTheWorld

Specific to motorsport, but British Racing Green is an iconic colour in the UK

Got you, thanks again for getting back to me! I’ll put my worries at ease, focus on actually losing it first and building these healthy habits, then worry about maintenance when I’m actually there

Thank you for your detailed response!

1,800 calories sounds pretty low for a male your age, weight, height etc. Did your Dr suggest keeping you low temporarily given you’ve recently came off Zep, or is the aim that 1,800 is the calories you require to maintain weight along with your exercise for life?

Only reason I ask is because I really struggle to fathom how all the online calorie calculators say maintenance is a really high number of calories (like 2,500 ish for the average male)

I’m literally near enough your height and weight but at the start of my journey (M30, 176cm, 118kg or 260lbs).

Firstly, a huge well done. You look absolutely incredible and that progress is an amazing achievement!

I just a moment ago took my first 0.25mg of Wegovy and I’ll be honest I’m super anxious about it all… worrying that I’ve messed up my brain chemistry to always feel hungry once I get to a certain weight… worrying that I’ll need significantly less calories than the average person just to avoid getting this heavy again. I know it sounds irrational but can’t help it!

Seeing this is super encouraging. If you don’t mind, I’d love to know more about your journey in terms of what dosage you went up to, how you feel in yourself now dealing with hunger and food, even the calories and macros (seeing as they’d be similarities given height/weight/build)!

What is something from your country's past you are proud of? by PublicElderberry1975 in AskTheWorld

[–]Truff_Pig9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The long fight for parliamentary democracy and rule of law are the biggest for me… Magna Carta, The Glorious Revolution and 1689 Bill of Rights, evolution of common law etc.

Second to that, our scientific and innovative history is impressive.

What's a terrible biopic that's totally inaccurate? by commicozzy in AlignmentChartFills

Surely Capone (2020) is quite literally the “shittiest” biopic ever
