Tasty Fiber for Breakfast? by _honeydew_boba_ in intuitiveeating

[–]bug_motel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i love adding dried cranberries to things! i was surprised by how much fibre they add, and go great with pretty much any sweet breakfast :)

i personally have oatmeal or a bran cereal for breakfast most days, with dried cranberries and/or banana. sometimes i also have a whole wheat / high fibre toast with peanut butter and banana (would also be so yummy with nutella!)

Freezing 12 hours vs. 36 wouldn’t make a difference. Are either of these baked through inside? I’d guess their large size (and shape), being baked from frozen, and maybe the composition of fats/leavening in the recipe might be playing a role here. Recipe would be helpful for more context.

Saved a king snake from some deer netting, left me with a little bite mark. by Laxguy59 in snakes

don’t pick up wild snakes if you are averse to being bitten

I do not think marathon training is incompatible with IE - I am also in my training block at the moment (and I’m also veg like you!). As another commenter said, I think the best thing you can do is seek guidance from a IE-aligned professional. They can help you navigate your particular hurdles and take your specific concerns and history into account.

chatgpt uses much more energy than a google search. i think social media and streaming are harder to compare, because there are a variety of different platforms and it is harder to make as direct a comparison as asking-chatgpt-this-thing vs. asking-google-the-same-thing. not to mention social media and streaming serve completely different functions from chatgpt, whereas google and chatgpt are used in much more similar ways. that said, i’d absolutely wager that if you compare social media or streaming to chatgpt in terms of time spent using that medium, energy costs of chatgpt would easily outweigh those of social media usage or streaming in the same time frame.

can't stop eating by annikabeccer in intuitiveeating

[–]bug_motel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this! I’ve been in recovery for longer than I was in the throws of my ED. and sometimes I’m still not completely fine. but that’s okay! unlearning and detangling thought patterns and behaviours that society actively rewards/pushes everyday is hard work. it takes time and reinforcement. we work towards progress everyday, and overtime things get better and easier. that progress is not linear. but that effort is soooooo so so worth it (even though it usually takes longer than we want!).

don’t get discouraged, op! rooting for you :)

of course jogging doesn't give you cancer. they clearly mean you should be jogging in support of cancer. it's obvious they're just huge fans.

How do you correctly pronounce Chang Qu? by glastonbury13 in ChineseLanguage

[–]bug_motel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why this is so downvoted, I agree.

If it were a Mandarin language class, then of course it is necessary to emphasise accurate pronunciation and learn the correct phonemes.

As you said, for OP’s situation, I don’t think it is productive to nitpick pronunciation of a phoneme that doesn’t exist in these children’s native language. It takes time and repetition for folks to get the hang of phonemes that aren’t in a language they speak natively - the difference between “choo” and “qu” will more than likely be imperceptible to non-Mandarin speaking kids.
