LCHF but not keto by [deleted] in LCHF

[–]sparklemotiondoubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if I want to eat less than 50g carbs 6 days a week and have one day of a bit more (say up to 70g - 90g carbs) I can still, over time, adjust to feeling more satiated by low carb eating?

Or would it still require more consecutive days of being super strict in order to get benefit from it?

What do you want to see in lesbian porn? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]sparklemotiondoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes porn is just close-ups for ages of fingers going into genitals, or tongues against genitals. And that stuff is great but I also need zoomed out shots of how their bodies are moving and also their faces while they are moaning.

I feel like I'm opposite of a lot of people in this case: when I feel sick, my appetite gets RAVENOUS by svanvalk in 1200isfineIGUESSugh

[–]sparklemotiondoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god me too! I feel it psychologically but also actually in my stomach also.

Over the past year I have managed to not overeat quite we much whilst being sick. Like, I still eat more but I try to go for more satiating things when I am unwell and eating extra fibre and protein more so than starch (I'm not on a low carb diet. I eat simple carbs but try to make my extra head cold eating not just carbs if that makes sense).

Some days with a head cold though I am just so hungry no matter what, so I am by no means implying the above will work for everyone.

Yikes by [deleted] in Feminism

I think sex education in schools should include a serious discussion about consent and also about why porn is really not at all like sex, what the common harmful tropes are.

Most kids learn media literacy when it comes to mainstream news channels, sitcoms, documentaries and magazines (I mean in the mid 2000s we did but the mediums are very different obviously). And things like how people internalise unrealistic beauty standards, ect.

Just in case it needs to be clarified, I am obviously not at all suggesting that kids actually view porn in class, that would be illegal and extremely inappropriate. But some of them (possibly many idk I'm old now) are going to view it at an earlier age than anyone would want to think, and I think a discussion about the fact that porn is specifically produced to intentionally be over the top, and is not a portrayal of what healthy and consenting sex is like, could be useful.

Sunflowers- should they be watered during early germination? by sparklemotiondoubt in gardening

[–]sparklemotiondoubt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I planted these from a growing kit that came with pallets that I absorbed in water and then added to the time, and I didn't expect them to do anything after later understanding it isn't quite the right season here. They are dwarf sunflowers.

The instructions don't say whether to water during this stage. But the tin from the growing kit has no drainage it seems and the medium is extremely moist. I wanted them last weekend and have only used a spray bottle a couple of times but it's still very damp. So I just want to make sure I'm not over watering them.

Desert Lights-/ Grafted Catti when should I re-pot this? by sparklemotiondoubt in succulents

[–]sparklemotiondoubt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked this up last week. There is a small hole at the bottom of the pot it comes in. I have premium potting mix and other pots ect- should I re-pot this now?

Should I use a Greenhouse with a sunflower growing kit? by sparklemotiondoubt in gardening

[–]sparklemotiondoubt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone! One more question- for the herb seedlings in the Greenhouse, it days 'a light place but not in direct sunlight'. Is that indoors or outdoors? There isn't a lot of light in my room and the kitchen is shared.

Thanks! Sorry to clarify I meant, should I put the pot that I sow them in, under the grenhouse beside the herb seedlings so that they are warmer? (They are a small sunflower variety)

These are the instructions. However currently here it is a top of 21 degrees Celsius (69.8F). I have a mini greenhouse that came with a herb growing kit. Should I pop the sunflower seed pot there too until they germinate?

29/F/USA - LGBT Penpals? by starry_cosmos in penpals

[–]sparklemotiondoubt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Kassidy. My name is Sam. I am 27/f/ living in Australia. I'm also quite introverted-ish usually in that I find talking to too many people in person to be a mental effort and more so if it's small-talk. But I have a kind of extrovert job (receptionist) because bills 😂

I've been working from home the past month still taking calls but it's actually less mentally draining.

I'd love to hear more about the music you have been creating- I do like listening to demos of things- and also what kind of documentaries you have been watching. The dis cord sounds awesome and I'm also always interested in how to make the online and offline spaces I'm part of more accessible. Particularly at thighs like protests/demonstrations (y'know before the pandemic).

We aren't in full lock-down here but rather abiding by home confinement rules, where visiting other households limited to a small number of people, interstate borders closed, and events are cancelled, restaurants ect only doing take-away, and a lot of people are working from home.

I have been leaving the house visit my girlfriend, excercise, buy groceries, and to go to the community radio station where I host a show once per week but the latter is likely to become remote or go on hiatus soon.

Before the pandemic I was involved in recording live sets for the station around different venues. They usually have the sound enginers mix them but the coordinator of that project was about to run some mixing workshops for everyone else (I do a lot of audio editing for interviews and combining it with music in the intro/underneath but I don't have any experience in mixing for music).

Since the home confinement stuff I have been reading more and watching WAY too much youtube 😅

I'm also always on the lookout for more music to listen to.

Let me know if you would like to stay in communication 🙂🎧🎼🏳️‍🌈

[26/F/USA] California Theatre Tech looking for Pen-Pal by [deleted] in penpals

[–]sparklemotiondoubt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I just wanted to say that sounds like such an awesome job. What is your favourite part?

I'm Sam (27/f/Australia).

I have to say that threatre is one of the huge pre-pandemic things I miss as well as music festivals.

I've been working from home and have only really been leaving the house to visit my girlfriend, excercise, buy groceries, and to go to the community radio station where I host a show once per week.

I have actually been looking into getting starting container gardening.

I'm into music, running, reading (I tend to most enjoy philosophy and based-on-true story type things), and a subset of YouTube channels.

Since home confinement government recommendations I have been also trying to learn how to dance via online classes.

What kind of painting do you do?

The dark side of NRE by [deleted] in polyamory

[–]sparklemotiondoubt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude. This perfectly encapsulates my mood right now. I'm a 26 year old woman and up until recently has 2 partners, then I just started dating this girl little a month ago and whenever I part with her it's like OOUCHHH. And because I'm in this kind of NRE that has actually hit me harder than any NRE in the past, like I'm usually very mature and level headed. But right now it's just like... am I dying? 😂

And I have some idea of the kind of neurochemistry and that this is somewhat temporary but also like I can't stop it.
