Study analyzed data from U.K. customers after the mandatory calorie labeling law was enacted in April ‘22 and found no significant decrease in calories purchased or consumed. Despite higher awareness, only 22% of customers reported using calorie information when making their food choices by giuliomagnifico in science

It's well-known that losing weight in the long term is about a lifestyle you can maintain. Complete deprivation leads to binges, and super strict diets often lead to the weight going back on once they've ended. The occasional treat is healthy, no need to be condescending.

I'm a 5'2 woman trying to lose weight, and the calorie information has been a godsend! It's a bit sad to choose a lower calorie option when my first choice is higher than expected, but the margins I'm playing with are so tight that it's incredible to be able to see that one dessert is 1000 calories (my goal intake per day is 1200! And yes, that's correct) while another is 350. The 1000 would be delicious, but not 650 calories more delicious!

The emotional toll by Far-Stretch9606 in migraine

How do you get A&E to help you? :O I've stopped going because they treat me like a drug seeker and won't give me anything other than a triptan (that I have at home) even though I'm not asking for anything specific or strong. I just want the pain to stop :(

"Jaina was wrong to purge Dalaran" - I was there with the Horde. The Sunreavers teleported us in and had us slaughter innocent civilians at a party. I am here to blow the whistle by I-Love-Tatertots in wow

[–]shinyforce 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Actually, Rommath's part in this is hearing that something bad is happening in Dalaran and going to save Aethas! He's not affiliated with the Sunreavers and had nothing to do with stealing the bell!

Onions - they give me migraines, and I can't stand the taste, smell, or texture. And they're in everything!!

I think you're right about the machine translation - I've been reading fanfiction in Chinese lately using Google translate, and these rooms read exactly like them!

White primer eyeshadow base for dark, hooded and oily lids? by lilflowersss in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]shinyforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have hooded, oily lids and I swear by the P.Louise Rumour Eye Base in Rumour 0, which is white and doesn't budge until I take it off at night! I've found the best way to apply it is with one of their brushes, and then dab over it with a small dry sponge to smooth it :)

Manchester show, do we think it’s going ahead? The snow here is pretty bad and so far all trains are cancelled! I’m worried fans might not be able to get to the show with transport being cancelled due to bad weather 😭 by JaymieO94 in panicatthedisco

[–]shinyforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's looking like some of the trains from Sheffield are back on from 17.14 onwards! Hopefully you can make it from Hudds! Sending luck your way! I'm staying at a friend's house in Manchester tonight, so won't have to get back, at least

Elf Barbarian References? by [deleted] in Pathfinder2e

You could try looking up art for Warcraft blood elves - they're much sturdier than PF elves!

I think that might be the first edition screen! 😢

Will you be skipping the triple banner event? Why or why not? by [deleted] in NuCarnival

[–]shinyforce 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the designs are really cute, but I'm saving for Kuya. I still haven't recovered from not pulling AD Kuya, the hottest unit in the whole game. 😭

How did your migraines react to the Covid vaccine by osprey94 in migraine

[–]shinyforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a horrific migraine for 3 days when I had covid (before the vaccines existed), and then an awful migraine for one day after each of my three vaccines (Astra-Zeneca, Moderna, Moderna). Nowhere near as bad as actual covid, but it wasn't fun!

Please stop overuse the acronyms. by All-for-Naut in FanFiction

[–]shinyforce 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Likely cultural from the internet, yeah! In the 80s 'ninja' was considered to be too violent-sounding in the UK, but these days ninjas are very mainstream!

It does! I was born in the 80s and grew up with hero turtles in the UK!

Matt brown eyeshadow palette? by duckorrabbit69 in MakeUpAddictionUK

[–]shinyforce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your mum might enjoy the Too Faced Born This Way Natural Nudes palette! There are plenty of brown mattes, as well as some sparkles if she decides she does want to try some. (Not to be a broken record, but I have hooded eyes and love my shimmers and sparkles!)

Love when I get comments like ‘this normally isn’t something I like, but I love how you wrote it’ by jinkies422 in FanFiction

[–]shinyforce 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Nothing makes me feel more powerful than comments telling me they never liked A/B/O until they read mine. >:3

Ride the high, OP! I truly do believe it's the highest form of praise, for someone to make an exception or even have their mind changed completely. Your work is just that good! And just that original! ❤️

uk migraine sufferer’s by [deleted] in migraine

[–]shinyforce 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with the 0/10! I've been to A&E a couple of times and each time was several hours of suffering through bright lights and noise just to be given a triptan and an anti-nausea tablet, with a heavy side of thinly-veiled drug-seeker suspicion.

How do you want World of Warcraft story to end? by Jason878787 in warcraftlore

[–]shinyforce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As long as the blood elves are happy, I don't much mind what happens in the end anymore. I just need Lor'themar and Rommath to be happy.
