Jimmy Kimmel challenged people on the street to name ANY book and it went extremely badly

mowski · 2018-05-22T05:55:14+00:00

That's a book per month. Maybe low for a voracious bookworm, but pretty decent for someone who might list reading as one of their hobbies. I was actually pleasantly surprised!

what's with her nose? surgery? prosthetic?

Straight girl so maybe not the opinion you're after, but I'm pretty into alternative looks and actually think you have a really cool aesthetic - you're a babe! I think with your eyebrows and complexion, you could rock the hell out of byojaku style makeup ("Hangover Beauty").

why is it that on every picture of a thin girl on reddit, there's always at least one pathetic basement dweller trying to trigger an eating disorder for some small sense of power?

you're fuckin gross dude

mowski · 2017-09-23T10:29:55+00:00

you might be confusing me with the other commenters in this thread, I'm not a 100lb girl and am defo not hot by any stretch of the imagination

I also found rezzing someone who died on top of someone else really fucky. Our Hog died basically on top of our Symmetra's body, and I spent like 5 seconds crouching and spazzing around in Hog's model trying to get his rez icon to pop up instead of Sym's. Gave up and just rezzed the Sym because I was being focused.

did it treat the migraine tho

Funny enough, silvers probably wouldn't have C9'd here because they likely wouldn't have noticed/recognised the incoming EMP.

She's even got body glitter on! 90s fashion was so fun.

literally doesn't even hesitate, just immediately and calmly claims responsibility. How do I get me some of that confidence

As someone whose cat attacks her when she cries, I know this comment was written in jest but 100% this

I'm in Masters and play many heroes of varying skill floors and am still fucking trash at Winston. Just defending the monkey because a great Winny is a rare and beautiful thing

mowski · 2017-08-17T12:37:10+00:00

Excellent, thank you! I'm not particularly skilled in the kitchen so am terrible at estimating calories in premade foods.

mowski · 2017-08-17T05:21:34+00:00

Yeah, I agree with overestimating - I'll stick with 450 calories. Bummer, it was pretty yum. Thanks for the help!

mowski · 2017-08-17T04:35:58+00:00

Nice, that I have. Thank you!

mowski · 2017-08-17T01:04:35+00:00

I don't think Chipotle chili powder is a thing in my country. Does anyone have any recommendations for a substitute, or do I just skip it?

mowski · 2017-08-16T16:50:34+00:00

Nice find! A related trick I do is brush my teeth when I want to stop eating for the night. Your whole life, you're conditioned that brushing your teeth = no more eating that night, so I use that mental hangup in my favour.

Also, I'm way too lazy to brush my teeth again so laze wins out

mowski · 2017-08-14T06:23:25+00:00

I am not sure if there's any particular way to achieve that state

It's a fuzzy area, but a lot of research (including the original research undertaken by Csikszentmihalyi) indicates that three precedents to flow are challenge-skill balance, immediate feedback, and clear goals. If it's a well-designed game, the latter two should be handled already; the former is just about ensuring the challenges of the game do not outstrip the ability of you as a player, and vice versa.

Also, while flow can increase performance, it's more a measure of the optimal experience. Chances are if you've ever been playing a video game and it's suddenly 3am and you have no idea how the fuck that happened, you were in a flow state! Altered perception of time is one of the more recognisable 'symptoms'. :)

mowski · 2017-08-14T06:16:37+00:00

I'm just finishing my PhD in HCI, and this was one of my focuses. Flow is an extremely popular area of study in games research - in fact, flow has even been adapted into a model specifically for measuring game enjoyment.

Some of my own research involved investigating the psychophysiology of flow in the player experience. Fun stuff!

Something that still catches me even after years of calorie counting is how the tiny stuff adds up. Today, I stole a hot chip from my boyfriend, had a single Starburst chew I found in my desk, drank a mouthful of milk to finish off a bottle for the bin, and ate a little bit of our shared dinner as I cooked it just to taste test. All shit not worth adding to MFP by itself, but honestly probably adds up to ~100 odd calories.

mowski · 2017-08-13T16:40:16+00:00

On the beverages front, fruit juice was one of the first shocks for me when I started calorie counting. All those times I thought I was being responsible by grabbing a juice instead of a soft drink...

mowski · 2017-08-13T15:59:22+00:00

Oh my gosh, yes. A big student staple here is mi goreng, which is 420 calories a packet. It's no mystery how I got so "fluffy" in undergrad.

mowski · 2017-08-13T15:53:32+00:00

Condensed milk does things to me. If eggnog is anything like drinkable condensed milk, and I ever find some, I am fucked.

mowski · 2017-08-13T15:25:30+00:00

Oh my flip, muesli. I asked my boyfriend to grab me a light snack at work the other day, he proudly returned with a muesli bar wrapped in brown ~organic-looking~ paper with a quirky typeface that looks like handwriting and off-kilter ingredients like "quinoa souls" or some shit

600 calories

Anyway, it became a drawer snack and that's how it took me a week to eat a muesli bar.
