  • Calaries in and calories out can be a useful tool, but it isn’t a silver bullet. I also think that it’s important for people to remember when setting a caloric goal that they need to be realistic in the amount of weight that they’re going to lose per month.

    It’s also important to remember that what a healthy weight and size is is bigger than what the media often portrays it to be. Both the social and television. When all he needs to look at all those tabloid pictures of celebrity women sitting down in swimsuits while they’re going, “Whoa! Look how fat this person is now!Are they gregnant?” . The reality is that individual may still be relatively skinny. It’s just the pose therein. The angle that the camera is taking it and the lighting are just revealing A normal human body With organs.

    Obviously there does come a point where someone is a little too big. This is true. But that line is more variable health-wise than a lot of people think.


  • I heard a theory one time that this is the reason why so many Americans consider foods like Taco Bell or just Mexican food in general to be immediate causes of diarrhea.

    These people’s diets are so starved of any sort of fiber that just the small amount of bean in the burritos they eat at in these restaurants and lettuce in their tacos is enough to cause their entire digestive system to just panic and evacuate.







  • There are definitely a lot of little things in gimp that make it hard. The lack of a shapetool is one(yes yes it’s not a drawing app but a basic edition helps) and other things like adding text with a black outline or shadow. After literally decades they finally added in a way to make it easier to image macro text in. The old way involved several submenus and I know I couldnt figure it out on my own without a guide.

    I know sometimes people come into an opensource ecosystem and complain that everything is worse because they arent used to it, but at the same time there are a lot of open source programs that are very rough around the edges and the developer cant see it because they know the program inside and out so of course it’s intuitive that this feature is burried in here and this feature way in there.










  • The weirdos crusading against bloat helped keep distros light weight and performant decades on. It allowed a linux distro to fly on older hardware that was bogged down by newer linux versions. The legacy to this day is that WMs like KDE can actually be fairly light weight and there is still attention paid to not using a lot of resources.

    Nowadays I feel like the complainers dont even have a consistent definition of what bloat is and it ranges from command line only users who know theyre crazy and niche but speak up anyway, to people who are just upset if a distros ships with basic default tools like an image viewer or something that opens text files or videos, or drivers.

    The whole thing is also silly with how much cheaper ram and storage have gotten. Even moreso because the distro and WM isnt the limiting issue. Yes you can still run a KDE based distro with 2gigs of ram, but as soon as you open your web browser and visit the modern internet the dozen high definition images that load in and videos and javascript.
