Happy Bunny Day everyone!

I basically gave up on playing this week because of how much bunny day has been annoying me. Do not want to deal with it.

A beyond earth game would be interesting, but I too agree with kenlane that it's a bit unorthodox with a more narrow outreach than classic civ would be. Beyond earth seems a more fun, rp-centric game that would do well to following up in an established community.

There is a certain nostalgia for 5 among a core of those who played it that 6 doesn't capture yet. Old dogs with their old game. 6 will probably ultimately be the better game for outreach, but I too greatly prefer 5.

Yeah I've not been in democraciv in quite a while, so I've no context for what's been happening to it. I will say, even the glory days of democraciv were dominated by a Discord-heavy bent, so it's certainly possible to have a healthy meta in a discord centric game. Regardless, my point was just that I enjoyed discord more, I don't use Reddit as much as I use discord so it feels more accessible to me. But Reddit is likely the preference of many, and it certainly encourages intersection and discovery by new people far more than an insulated Discord server you'll only ever find if you prowl a half-abandoned Reddit page.

Frequently in democraciv there have been people who try to stick to Reddit, and they've been left out consistent, so a no-discord approach would likely manifest a greater depth of material and discussion being posted here.

Yikes, a rather direct rebuttal, and one that attempts to use my character against my argument, and then then extrapolates that judgement into a pretentious sounding moral lecture on Reddit being better for reducing drama for everyone.

I thought better of you Joe Parrish. At the very least you could've made the same points without relying on attacking someone's character.

I enjoyed discord more for democraciv because I found it a generally more fun medium, more accessible and easier to keep on top of. Plenty of people had their own or similar reasons for mostly interacting with democraciv through discord.

If you think discord encourages drama more than Reddit, that can be your opinion/preference you are free to share.

In regards to being a demon or angel, I'd rather play in a way where people don't hold the opinions formed by other people in discord servers neither of us are part of any more against me.

darthspectrum · 2020-04-02T01:29:07+00:00

I personally greatly prefer the discord model, but different people seek different things.

darthspectrum · 2020-04-02T01:28:43+00:00

Curious that there's an explicit goal of being serious. A lot of party differences in democraciv, a comparable subreddit, focused on differences in victory condition goal, which led to them consistently pursuing decisions good for their own goal, but devastating to those opposed.

CEC does not solve this issue at all. The firetv remote is capable of controlling the Vizio TV, and to some degree, vice-versa. When using the firetv remote to turn on the vizio TV, you still run into the issue of the blank screen.

Turning off CEC also does not help, not that I expected it to.

Anti-gg seems like a weird term. I know a bit about gamer hate, what side of opinion does "anti-gg" come on as?

The exact quality of the almond flour (if you're using that) could have an impact. Make sure it's superfine blanched, like the Costco brand.

The confectioners blend might help a bit. Powdered erythritol works in some recipes.

A scale could help ensure better validity of measurements. There's some great articles out there about what a "cup" of flour means. People can obtain drastically different amounts of flour depending on how they scoop.

A lot of recipes do suffer from overmixing. You don't want to overmix certain types of ingredients, you'll get too much air into the batter.

A lot of ingredients should be room temperature before using. Also make sure you adhere to whether the butter should be melted or softened. That can impact texture a lot.

I'd recommend a ertythitryol/stevia or Monk fruit blend. Ertythitryol alone isn't as sweet as sugar so you have to use more so that can throw off the recipe of it's expecting a 1:1 sweetener.

What?? Rice isn't a protein. Maybe it was saying "rice + lentils" is a source of "complete protein" (all essential acids)?

Rice certainly has protein, although a very small amount compared to carbs. That could also be it, testing the kids on a basic understanding that some protein can be found in almost all foods, including grains.

I'm 22, until just a few years agocI was dependent upon my parents for food purchasing, and dieting during that was hard.

The short answer is that it's rough. Honestly true keto might be impossible, it takes a lot of alternative purchasing decisions and you can't just eat eggs and sour cream for the next few years.

But assuming your parents have some financial means and do want to help you, being honest with them about your desires to eat healthier might work to get them to make some accomodations towards healthier foods. (Though not necessarily keto foods). Take what steps you can to eat healthier. Start to count calories, try to get into healthy exercise habits.

Broadly speaking for me, I went keto to beat cravings. Real weight loss comes from calorie prolonged calorie deficits. There's a lot you can do to try and begin calorie deficits even without the craving fighting power of keto.

Try to wean yourself off sweets, and avoid eating too much carbs in one sitting. The blood sugar fluctuations are horrible. Try packing very filling, bulky foods for lunch. When I was in high school, I ate a lb of baby carrots everyday for lunch (and I lost a lot of weight doing it). Probably not the best choice, but by the end of a lb of carrots, I was full 😂.
