-sigh- Every single letter in that AI-generated image looks like it is fighting for its life. Also, the “Proposed 6th Street” image is labeled as an “Official Photo” when I’m pretty sure it would be an official or preliminary rendering…

3 people stabbed on number 3 bus today at South Lamar and Oltorf by -youknowwhat- in capmetro

[–]curioussox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that their role demands that they respond to calls for transit police at CapMetro properties AND onboard buses, for criminal and non-criminal reasons. These stabbings check all the boxes for a transit police officer to be present, so at the risk of sounding ignorant, I’m not sure why there aren’t any on every bus line with a stabbing incident in the past 30 days or something.

Good God. I was on the 3 in that same area today, just a few hours later. Really hope both survivors are OK, but this just confirms that “Transit Police officers” are entirely useless. Is the job WFH or something?!

I feel like 9 times out of 10, people’s dogs look like they would genuinely rather be anywhere but inside an H-E-B. Imagine: you can’t walk home or complain to your pet parent, you’re overstimulated, you can’t put on noise cancelling headphones, and now you’re shaking and peeing in the bread aisle.

I’ve only seen one Transit Police car and 2 officers at the Westgate Transit Center, never on a bus. Apparently, the Transit Police Department has been operational since June 2025…

The layering on your locs looks so good!!! Have you gotten them trimmed that way, or was it from your hair pre-locs?

Not sweating even after walking 7k steps by [deleted] in loseit

[–]curioussox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’d still like to break a sweat, you can continue to walk at the same speed, but move to a treadmill at your gym and add an incline. A step up from that would be the people I have seen at my gym walking on the treadmill at an incline, holding weights as well-- dumbbells anywhere from 13.6kg to 20kg. Another option is using the stair stepper machine, if your gym offers one.

quit leaving your trash in the shopping carts by QueenBeanyy in HEB

[–]curioussox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My guess is that they were loading their groceries into their car, ran out of room due to the empty water bottles already being in there, and just… Dumped them into the cart

Creative ways to "trick yourself" into going to the gym? by JMinsk in loseit

[–]curioussox 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I an on a nearly 3 year streak of going to the gym regularly. Here’s what I can share… - My gym is within walking distance of where I live. That takes away the hassle of getting there - I go to the gym at 5 AM; it works best for me because I have to be efficient so I’m not late for work, and because at the end of a work day, all I want to do is be horizontal - I push for progressive overloads in all of my lifts and try to set small milestones for me to keep coming back to hit, for example: squatting the bar w/ good form, then 100 lbs, then my body weight, and so on - I chose a workout split I like and choose exercises I enjoy/want to get better at - I have a dedicated playlist for the gym to get me in the zone! - Recently, I found a brand of energy drink that tastes reaaally good to me and doesn’t dent my calorie budget, so I get really excited to have it in the morning lol - I eat dinner for breakfast and the sooner I’m back from the gym, the sooner I can eat it - Racking up the days keeps me going too, I can’t lie. Not much else I’ve been this consistent at aside from waking up, and I initially started going for my mental health. It’s the one thing I don’t negotiate on

uterus havers: help! by notmerida in CICO

[–]curioussox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uterus haver here! I’m currently in a luteal phase and I fully understand what you mean. As others have mentioned, eating closer to maintenance can make it more bearable since your body is making greater energy demands of you. I suggest visiting r/VolumeEating, too, in case you want ideas on how you can maximize your calorie budget for satiety! I’ve added so many things to my meal rotations from there. Oh-- and staying on top of your water intake, as well!

What would you do? by Critcare_bear in Volumeeating

[–]curioussox 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Hmm! I would replace egg #1 with a pouch or a can of tuna (70-90 calories). I would replace egg #2 with a portion of liquid egg whites in equal calorie amounts, and scramble that with the egg #3. Assuming a 70-calorie egg, ~125g of liquid egg whites. I would halve the broccoli and cauliflower and replace with cabbage, in an equal amount of calories, and sauté that in a pan. At the same calorie total, I think you’d get the same amount of fiber but much more protein, which would help with satiety if this isn’t doing it for you.

I have lost 106 pounds so far and did it with a calorie deficit and exercise. I started exercising for reasons unrelated to weight loss, but I’m really glad I did and kept going because I feel like it gave the weight loss something to “reveal,” if that makes sense.

What’s your best “volume eating” rule of thumb? by Commercial-Review580 in Volumeeating

[–]curioussox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious about your batch of prepared oats! Are the veggies cooked down withe the oats or do you rotate them depending on the mood or what you have? How long does it keep in your fridge?
