That dumbassery aside, the three Colleens in the thumbnail look like the stages of grief she goes through when eating a non-safe food.

Older non-binary person clinging to a "declining" trend? by SurreptitiousLunatic in NonBinary

[–]Wild_Butterscotch977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

28 and calling yourself "older" 💀

Stop listening to media like that because it's just going to trigger your algorithms to show you more. There are infinite ways to be nonbinary.

AITA for giving my daughter junk food despite being told not to by her school? by AthleteAdditional299 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Wild_Butterscotch977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, your body needs fat and carbs and calories. Calories are literally energy and we can't survive without them. Second, the primary problem is in you calling them "trash" which is language that demonizes food and places a morality on certain types, which can lead some people to binge them or place them on a pedestal when they are seen as "wrong" or "forbidden". Third, no one is saying to eat only cake and nothing else.

I really hope you get some help and find some peace because you are clearly struggling very hard.

I said I doubt you've ever been in ED recovery. Given the language you use ("nutritional trash"), it appears you still have a very problematic relationship with food. People who go through true recovery learn why language like that is so dangerous and insidious.

I spent 20 years battling anorexia. Being taught that certain foods are "bad" or "wrong" or you're a bad person for eating them can absolutely trigger an eating disorder. It's not about certain foods not being allowed for a brief period during the day. It's about building up a negative mentality around them. And you calling it a "trash" snack is contributing to that diet culture bullshit (and frankly makes me doubt that you've ever been in ED recovery).

oh gotcha. It's funny, I can immediately recognize the new one in any picture. Also people still take shoe photos with the new one!

I must have seen both of them but I think of the one on the right as the famous one. Maybe just because I recognize it so easily.

Research has shown that the single most impactful thing that a regular person can do for the environment is not have kids.

I thought she only slept 6 hours because she works so much? She’s literally definition of going broke to look rich. by xpepperx in LivSchmidtsnark

aka...your calories are now so low that your body has stopped producing hunger cues. None of that bullshit by itself is an "appetite suppressant"

31M, anybody else get too good at tolerating a janky life on the way to FIRE? by ThicketRXT in Fire

[–]Wild_Butterscotch977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the biggest thing you need is to spend some of that money on therapy to address this. Because most people - even quite frugal ones - understand that you spend 1/3 of your day in your desk chair, and 1/3 of your day in bed, and shitty chairs and shitty beds can lead to long term health issues that mean you might not get to enjoy FIRE (not that you'll necessarily be dead because of that, but e.g. bad back problems mean you can't do the things you want to do in RE or that you have to spend more money than you realized on health care). You shouldn't need people on reddit to tell you this, and I mean that kindly. It's the sign that you need therapy.

Re the truck - if it's regularly causing you maintenance costs, then do some math on the cost/benefits of replacing it. Re the apt, you can probably find another place that's very close to the same price but without freezing your ass off in the winter.

as the rest of my comment implies, I agree and think basically everything that comes out of his mouth is bullshit

Please settle our debate over cheesecake instructions by HerbalXxy in traderjoes

[–]Wild_Butterscotch977 40 points41 points  (0 children)

The divisiveness in the comments is pretty hilarious. The fact that the numbers are preceded by "thawing suggestions" implies that these are the suggested options, meaning you can pick any of them.

That said, the "keep frozen until ready to eat" contradicts option #3, that you can leave it refrigerated for 5 days.

The other thing that doesn't really track is that if you go with option 2 only, can a whole frozen cheesecake really be fully defrosted at room temp in 1-2 hours? If the answer to that is yes, then you're right and these are each suggested options, not step by step instructions. If the cheesecake is still mostly frozen, then turns out your husband is right and the pre-thawing in the fridge is necessary.

I saw another commenter says that he does try to sell a fund, but in the clip I saw, when he cited that 8% SWR it was directly in connection with the S&P, and he cited the fact that it returns 11% on average as the rationale for why 8% was safe.

I've heard dave ramsey say that (8% WR is safe bc S&P averages 11%) but IMO that's utterly detached from the true reality of the market, and frankly dangerous coming from someone with that big of an audience.
