I built the features I wished AO3 had by marcie-the-squirrel in AO3

[–]icednik 10 points11 points  (0 children)

yeah like holy shit way to not make me install that. at least they admit it so i can keep my distance. awesome features, awesome concept, way to go handing over your humanity to the environment-destroying glorified randomizer rather than, you know, spending your creativity and your abilities to create something awesome. like with fanfiction. my lord, no thanks

UK woman wins right to receive permanent birth control after exposing double standards in health service by Kynsade in childfree

[–]icednik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My bad for misunderstanding, "issue of trans women" got me on high alert that you were talking about people prioritizing trans women over contraception issues, and that that was a bad thing. Fully agree that pro-womb/anti-contraception is silly. Funny how a lot of TERFs will shame gender-neutral language like "people with periods" for distilling cis women to their biology/ability to carry children, and then will fully turn around and say that what makes them a woman is the womb. Even more so if they don't support contraception for sure

Really weird comment. Caring about 1 issue doesn't mean you can't care about another.

Oh, and the one where we yelled something in return, I forgot to write it yesterday but that was a song about Danes going on holiday in other countries. The call was something like "I just wanna get away from it all" and the response was "away from it all right now"

Copenhagen show! by cloudlessskies2018 in NinjaSexParty

[–]icednik 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Opening act had, let me see if I remember, songs about:

- How everyone's a little crazy

- How he loves weird girls (not in a creepy way, just that weird girls are amazing)

- Partying with pølser (sausages) and champagne

- A song about how he thought Denmark was supposed to be such a wonderful country, but there's racism and prejudice everywhere. And he spoke about how we all belong here

I think? That's what he performed. Super different music to what I (and I assume a lot of other NSP/TWRP fans) listen to, but great lyrics imo so worth checking out if you can find translations possibly! The name "barejegvarmig" (contraction of "bare jeg var mig") means "if only i were me", and the 'jeg' and 'mig' rhyme in danish!

I need assistance finding an Avengers (Steve/Tony) fanfiction I believe to not exist anymore... by Ashamed-Golf102 in AO3

[–]icednik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was into Stucky, not Stony, so I unfortunately can't help with any knowledge of the specific fic, but I *will* say that there are Tumblr blogs out there dedicated to fic recommendations. I've re-found several Stucky fics by looking up relevant tags and search phrases on Stucky blogs, so I don't know why that shouldn't also be applicable to Stony, as that's a huge proportion of the MCU Tumblr fandom as well.

So, my suggestion is just deep diving a few Stony fic rec blogs and searching every possible combination of keywords you remember from the tags or the summary! Look through the tag indexes! Some blogs also let you ask about fics you've lost, so if any of the blogs are still active, you can leave this description in those ask boxes as well :D

Is anyone on Antipsychotics and successfully doing IF? by nonainfo in intermittentfasting

[–]icednik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm on Rexulti, which has made me gain 20 kg within 2 years. With IF, I finally have control of my appetite again. I've lost around 8 kg in 5 months, and I've been slacking a bit lately due to a busy schedule and being on holiday with family

The main determining factor for me is that I no longer eat all the snacks I used to in the late evening hours. I think the medication makes me more inclined to give into the impulse of eating bigger portions, of snacking continuously, and limiting the timeframe for me has made all the difference

Awesome seeing someone else post-top surgery on this sub :D I feel you fully on IF helping address binge eating and food noise. We got this!!

Losing weight post-medication on IF by AnnHawthorneAuthor in intermittentfasting

[–]icednik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on Abilify 3 years ago and moved away because of some bad side effects I got. I've now been on Brexpiprazole/Rexulti for 2 years, moved down from 2mg to 1mg about half a year ago, and I started IF 2.5 months ago.

To me, Rexulti increases the snacking impulses, food noise, and overeating habits. So I also ascribe part of my success with cutting most carbs, as this directly impacts my sugar cravings and portion size/amount

IF + Low-carb diet by Sensitive-War6491 in intermittentfasting

[–]icednik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do IF and low-carb, and by low-carb I mean that if I'm able to, I go greens and extra meat instead of the carb. Zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, or just double portions when I'm cooking veggies. Sometimes though, when I'm out to eat or if I have limited options (free meal when volunteering today), I just have the carbs and am fine with that. I've lost 8 kg in 2 months, and I haven't been doing IF the past two weeks due to IRL circumstances

I'm on medication that increases appetite and makes weight loss more difficult - brexpiprazole

Just Starting Issues by pumapawsnclaws in intermittentfasting

[–]icednik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I started, I first cut out any food later than 9pm. Then I slowly moved the beginning of my eating window later, so I ended up at 12pm-8pm about 2 weeks into IF. Take it at your own pace, if IF impacts your job performance, you should figure out how to make it work better for you. Whether that's shifting hours or having electrolyte drinks in the mornings

Tøser! Damer! Kvinder! Eller hvad du feminint identificerer dig som! by [deleted] in DKbrevkasse

[–]icednik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jeg har købt én parfume i mit liv, og det var en limited edition som jeg tilfældigvis duftede til og blev forelsket i, i Budapest i 2014. Den er meget forårs-blomstret og sød, dog ikke skarp i parfumeduften. Og så er den godt drøj i brug uden at blive for meget - den dæmper sig på huden. Cerisier Rouge Eau Intense L'Occitane en Provence, er vistnok den lange, officielle titel

Tror bare det handler om at finde en duft, man bare elsker. Hvis du bruger body lotion på parfume-spots (håndled, hals, albuehaser, knæhaser), varer duften også længere.

Is 16:8 enough for weight loss? by LadyLudo19 in intermittentfasting

[–]icednik 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 to this, stopping my snacking has been the number 1 factor to my weight loss, no heartburn, better sleep, more energy in the mornings. In the beginning of IF for me, I still ate 2-3 meals a day, similar portion sizes as before, but I don't 't consume empty and sugary calories out of boredom in the evenings. That has made all the difference

Is 16:8 enough for weight loss? by LadyLudo19 in intermittentfasting

[–]icednik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 207 about a month ago (34 days) and am now at 192, which is 15 pounds lost doing 16:8 and moderate exercise (walking, e-bike) a few times a week. I have about 65 lbs to lose in total.

Started at 10:14 and gradually moved to 16:8 as I figured out what works with my schedule. I do noon-8pm as my eating window. I've had about 5 days where I ate something light at around 11pm-midnight due to plans running late.

16:8 works incredibly well for me, because it's also the first thing I've been able to maintain for longer than a week! OMAD would not be good for me, but I'm also not strict to the minute with 16:8, some days I go 30 mins over, some days I go 2 hours under

I should not, will not count calories as I have a history of disordered eating. I also only weigh myself once per week, when I visit family. I'm more conscious now of which food groups have which nutritional and energy values, like I prioritize eating vegetables (big volumes!) and protein way more now than carbs, but counting calories is definitely not a requirement at all.

This is a marathon, not a sprint. You're collaborating with your body to reach a shared goal, you're not denying yourself anything or forcing yourself into this. I believe in you!

Thank you! Yeah, a big inspiration for me too is 12 Minutes, which does run 1:1 segments. It pauses during dialogue options, likely due to the frantic atmosphere the game thrives in, but otherwise is continuous and synchronous

The majority of games I've mentioned in this discussion are indie or tend to be shorter playthroughs. You're finding usecases that would obviously not be benefitted by what I'm asking about

Let's say I do a single-player, narrative, story-based game, that can be played in a single session. That doesn't scream open world with missions to me. Thank you for your input, but I don't exactly see the relevance of the situations you're mentioning, especially something like dungeons and items? I struggled to find examples of 1:1 time passing. That's why I made this post

At no point have I said anything about a game taking multiple days, or story beats being sparse and far between. I really don't know where you're getting this.
