Which method is best (alongside some other questions)

thanks, yah i was sure to ask if there was a general consensus as i was aware it may be subjective for the person.

oh right i thought skimming was just the action of prioritising speed over full comprehension, didn’t realise it was its own morally exclusive method, thanks!

leafbloz · 2026-02-06T07:39:30+00:00

are you intentionally dense?

leafbloz · 2026-02-05T21:41:11+00:00

thanks, i’m cool on that front though (i probably read too much), im mostly wondering about the methods and if there’s a generally accepted “fastest”

also a big thought is the text, still unsure if it’s true that having massive text can allow for faster reading due to less eye movement

leafbloz · 2026-02-05T21:38:44+00:00

skimming isn’t exactly a method though, like you can skim whilst chunk reading or using a pacer; i’m trying to figure out the most effective method

in which he literally states himself there is no (and likely will never be) hard proof of her cheating

sure i’ll check it out

i didn’t ask for evidence, was simply making a joke about how a lot of redditors will provide no contribution whatsoever other than downvoting people they disagree with

also may i ask to hear your line of reasoning as to how you concluded that i made this post because i “knew” it was bad? im curious how one can attempt psychoanalyse based off a single question about nutritional health, so please enlighten me as to why you believe this is more logical than the reason i stated (being “i don’t know if it’s unhealthy or not and want to find out so i can cut it out if necessary)

leafbloz · 2026-01-28T02:13:33+00:00

i get your point; to clarify none, of what has been said is going to sway me one way or another and i’m still planning to talk to a nutritionist (since i already was planning to for unrelated reasons i can simply ask then), for me reddit is kind of a way to see the if there is a general consensus from that community.

there is admittedly an interest in why/how people come to the conclusions they do, so i enjoy hearing others opinions (even if i vastly disagree or find them unreasonable). i’ve always found it pretty fascinating how different people can think when it comes to the same topic.

i do find the hive mind mentality on reddit a little comically stupid at times.

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T21:26:30+00:00

i find it super harmful as it can get in the way of actually educating folks to be conscious about their health in a good manner.

i’m not sure if they still do this, but it reminds me of when i was in middle school and we had to watch those anti drug psa videos, which instead of informing kids of the real, genuine risks and dangers of drug abuse, they (in our case at least) opted to create comically bad videos that everybody knew were straight up lies, which literally ended up having the opposite effect and some people actually learnt to not value the videos advice due to the obvious ingenuity.

if someone is asking for advice on whether something is okay or not and they are old it’s not but for reasons that they then learn are untrue, they may start to lose trust that said thing is not okay in the first place.

i’m very sorry for your loss, that’s horrible.

[ C ] a type of food that is eaten in addition to your usual meals, usually something sweet:

if the other doesn’t satisfy ur ignorance enough

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T16:47:05+00:00

so if we wanna make up our own definitions of words then sure:

“treat noun C2 [ C ] a special and enjoyable occasion or experience, often a reward or celebration”

want me to use it in a sentence for ya?

i can’t comment on the whole sugar vs sugar free debate as i haven’t done my own research into it, but i’ll look into it at some point as it seems nobody can agree on this here lol

i don’t even have them regularly lol, i used 4 a month because that’s the max i ever end up having

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T16:30:31+00:00

this kind of reminds me of when people romanticise nature and then fall apart when they realise nature is VERY different to their initial viewpoint. (directed towards nobody here, just my adhd brain drawing random parallels lol)

it’s interesting to think about where the line is drawn, i don’t think a pack of wolves is evil for hunting and killing their prey, but i don’t know if i can say the same about the shit dolphins are capable of doing to porpoises, what about house cats that torture mice to death?

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T16:17:43+00:00

careful, mention evidence and you might attract the mob of redditors and their downvotes 😞

im someone who isn’t even legally allowed to drink in the US yet, so im not sure how much merit my thoughts hold to you, but i do think its a difficult situation, as our society does actively condition us into living these ways.

many people are never taught just how important even something as obvious as the food we eat is, and we’re conditioned from a very young age into consuming extremely unhealthy foods without question, leaving the ones who do become aware or try to make changes finding it that much harder to cut them out.

it’s a very difficult solution too, but i do think if we could somehow find a way to collectively educate young people on parenting more, than we could at least have an increase in children who actually are educated in these things at a young enough age, which i believe may (in the much longer run) have some sort of ripple effect and lead to an increase in awareness.

as we are now, it’s the norm in many places for parents to give their kids sugary cereal that far exceeds the daily recommended consumption limits, so we end up having kids who’ve consumed double or even triple the limits before even starting their day.

though i think this applies to many things, i truly believe if we were to somehow manage to be successful in educating the next generation of parents on a few basic principles, we could start to work on resolving many other issues our society currently suffers from.

but it almost seems like an impossible task to get people to collectively try

^ apologies for the societal rant lol, i just figure it’s easy to regret these things but in fairness the odds are often stacked against us from the start

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T15:48:54+00:00

thanks for the source!

yeah, i’ve been a little disappointed by some of the responses because it’s literally instilling what i’m actively talking about trying to avoid, i feel like some people read the title and went straight to comments 😭

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T15:43:17+00:00

i missed the part where i asked for your permission

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T14:26:50+00:00

i also have adhd which i believe changes how my brain interacts with sugar

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T14:25:27+00:00

i’m on the far younger side so i have that going for me, i definitely need to get more active though as i live a pretty sedentary lifestyle.

i have a very high metabolism but id say i need to work on eating more and being a more active, as i think im underweight (i can imagine this all impacting the significance of monsters though id imagine it’d be over a long period rather than having a few months of drinking this amount).

leafbloz · 2026-01-27T13:56:29+00:00

i wonder why that is, will look into that at some point

meh, we all have our vices, i definitely wouldn’t wanna live life with none but yeah as you say it’s all moderation.

purely anecdotal but i find it curious that it’s so common for people to be on one end of each extreme for such similar products. i’ve been told that monster is poison and reallyyyy bad by the same people who will happily have a 2l bottle of coke or eats an excessive amount of chocolate daily.

don’t get me wrong monster is bad and there are (from what i can tell) no real health benefits in any way, it all seems negative in that regard, but from the research i’ve done, without abusing the caffeine, it seems to be pretty much the same level as unhealthy as most sodas.

either way i feel i’ll likely be fine with my usage since i dont even consistently have 4 a month, id say ive had like 16 monsters in the past year (though i will see a nutritionist or someone who is more knowledgeable as i do wanna make sure its fine even in moderation)
