  • Reduce carb portions and replace with larger veggie portions, and understand that corn and potatoes and other starch vegetables are just carbs (but it seems like you already know that). You may need larger protein portions in your meals to feel more full, and that’s fine if your choosing lean proteins, which it seems like you already are.

    Don’t be afraid of having fat in your diet, just avoid overly greasy stuff like too much fried food.

    Overall, you’ll probably be fine to do what you’re doing, but stop insisting on having a ton of bread. Just control your portions, limit bread, and be conscious of how much sugar you’re actually eating in a day because that shit is in pretty much everything. If you’re rarely eating out and rarely eating processed crap like TV dinners and rarely drinking calories and rarely reaching for sweets and snacks, then you’re gonna do great! It takes a shitload of jogging to undo even a modest treat. Having two double stuff oreos sets you back 140 calories, which will probably take you about a mile and a half to work off. If you ask me, oreos just ain’t fucking worth it lol.




  • I’m pretty much always coming back to Rocket League with a couple of friends. We’re probably gonna get Space Marine 2 soon to play together too.

    Paper Mario Thousand Year Door remake with my wife because she’s never seen it. We also started Dead Space. Right now our main obsession is passing the controller back and forth to play Dredge.

    I also have a create a pro career I will play off and on in FC 24 and NHL 24 (both were included with PS+, don’t @ me lol).

    Because of PS+, I’ll try a new game every few weeks. Some really keep my attention like Tunic and The Forgotten City did, and some get deleted almost immediately like Car Mechanic Simulator and Ride 5. I’m always trying something new.


  • Mexico is a nice time, and you can get good deals on all inclusive places. In general, Cancun is more about partying and Playa del Carmen is more about chilling and/or shopping. My wife and I have been to The Reef 28 in Playa del Carmen twice which is adults only and all inclusive with access to their sister resorts nearby and it was a great time. If you book through them directly you can get a bundle that includes flight and transportation to and from the Cancun airport, and they’ll work with you to get deals on snorkeling or whatever you wanna do. Just don’t pay for anything in the airport, they’re scams.

    Most importantly, have the vacation that you want and have the time that you want. You can see the sights, do adventures, or loaf, and it’s your call what you want to do with your vacation.


  • Brining the chicken including the eggs in the fridge and the other ones are the same as the first time. Jet fuel filter change complicates the ordeal, yet the only thing I need for it was to make sure they were not in there. Chickens and cows are the best for you and your entire family and friends with the best of us all inside the same world. Never attempt to be honest with the kids about the time you guys were able to get a new deboning done by Friday night and the other one was a little bit better than the yesterday. Salted butter and buttered salt are essentially the same thing as the other, but it’s not that long ago that burning up and being really hard on the couch could be a good day for the chicken bones or two and a half of the meat.



  • The problem for me is that nothing populates unless I manually choose some starting words in my life and I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t think I can do it all day but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do that I don’t think it is a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it done but I don’t think it is a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today.

    Seems to have found a problematic loop for the first time in the world but I think I have a lot of work to do in the morning and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the beach and get a little bit of the time to get it done but I don’t know what to do with it but I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I can get it to you tomorrow morning and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I don’t think I can get it to you when I get home and I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today but I don’t think I can get it to you if you want to go to the house today but I don’t think it will be a good time to get it to you and I will be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

    This shit sucks that I don’t think I have a lot of money to do it all the time but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do with it but I don’t know what to do that I don’t think it will be a good idea to get it to the house today but I can do it all day and then I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.

    Terrible. Just terrible it was a good day for me to get a new job and I was just going to say I was going to be a little late but I don’t know if you want to go to the store or something else but I can do it all day long but I can get it to you when I get home and I’ll be there in a few minutes unless you want to go to the house today.





  • The camera on my Pixel 5a shit the bed, so I just replaced it with the 8a. Because everything else about it still works fine, I keep it around as a home Wi-Fi device. Most of what I use it for is playing spotify. I have a waterproof Bluetooth speaker for in the shower and I’m not even bothering teaching the new phone to connect to it.

    If OP has an old phone as a backup, yeah I can see it fulfilling this need really easily. There are even pretty thorough parental control options (on Android at least) to have a separate user profile for a kid and have control of that user supervised through another device.

    If OP doesn’t have an old phone for this use case, probably the best bet is to either buy a used, older phone and set that stuff up or just find an old used iPod or similar. If something like spotify is essential to this plan, newer iPod touch models running iOS 15 support spotify. Otherwise, you can find a pretty basic mp3 player for under $50, but you’ll need to source music files yourself for that ;)



  • Oh, I thought there was some new story. Yeah, I was aware of that 8 years ago. And the “Hillary’s emails” “scandal”. And the trump “grab them by the pussy” tape. It’s all so cyclical. Nothing surprises me anymore. There will be firehosing to distract from trump’s actual existential disqualifications. He’s an easily manipulated, lying, stupid asshole. Meanwhile Harris is compassionate and educated, and has been duly elected to all three branches of government. She and Walz aren’t perfect, but it’s laughable to suggest that the alternative in this election is even worth considering. Anybody who believes something in the realm of pizzagate in this election cycle is feverishly searching for an excuse to vote for trump without being honest about their hated for women, minorities, and/or anybody left of the extreme right.




  • My friends and I like to play Rocket League while chatting. It’s free to play now. We were absolutely terrible when we first tried it but we’ve gotten pretty good over the years. We like doing a Spotify jam and trading off album picks too.

    Some of my other friends will do Borderlands while talking, but I think that’s a little too much going on, plus I’m not that into shooters. But maybe that’s appealing to you guys.

    We’re probably gonna get Space Marine II soon for this as well. Seems like Gears of War for the modern era.

    Streets of Rage 4 is also a fucking good time. Excellent music too.



  • Trump supporters generally are cowardly cattle. A few can obviously be riled up and pushed to do violence, but not enough to do any real damage. I mean in terms of a civil war. January 6th was a unique situation that will be better prepared for next time.

    Only about 30% of people even like trump; probably about 1% of those people are able-bodied, have weapons, have nothing to lose, and could be convinced to kill for him. Of course that’s still like a million people, which sure as shit ain’t nothing, but they’re spread out, unorganized, and still very few compared to military numbers. As for the block of people who would identify as not supporting trump, I couldn’t really guess numbers, but people are wildly mistaken to think that only people on the right have guns; we just don’t have murder boners or make guns our whole personality. I hope I only ever use my guns for target practice, but I’m absolutely ready to use them to defend my home and family if ever necessary, and I’m not interesting enough to have any reason to believe that that’s a likely scenario. Honestly, my biggest concern on that threat is a scenario where trump wins and releases voter registration info and SuGgEsTs that the second amendment folks do something about those tricksy democratses. The only other people dumb enough to break in while I’m home are cops, and I know that the courtroom is where you fight that flavor of fascism.

    Generally speaking, regarding the big question here of what will happen if Harris wins, I think that the answer is “nothing shocking”. There will be claims of an unfair election process, maybe some meek attempts at insurrection, continued prosecution and convictions for trump’s crimes (and probably slap on the wrist sentences). The economy will gently recover, the future will be invested in, maybe some rights get legislatively protected. Military and police funding will continue to balloon forever. We’ll still fund genocides and fuck with any country that pivots toward socialism. “Nothing will fundamentally change” but it’s a hell of a lot better than the alternative.

    Then after 4 years of sexism and racism on OAN and Fox News, Desantis or a similar creep wins the presidency in '28. They roll back everything they possibly can and fuck the country up for the profits of billionaires and corporations again. Because reasonable people will get too comfortable to care enough, but unreasonable people can’t stop foaming at the mouth over every weekly culture war.

    When trump is finally gone, trumpism will still remain. And it will have prettier packaging. That’s when it gets really scary imo.
