Your personal experience does not make universal truth. Many people have highly fluctuating hormones and digestion. It’s great that it works for you, but it won’t work for everyone. There’s a myriad of invisible diseases that can affect this. And that’s not even counting that some people don’t have the resources to even think of anything outside work, eat whatever is accessible, sleep, repeat.

Even if personal experience was universal: based on MY experience, nobody should be able to figure out how much to eat, even with professional help.

I desperately wanted to gain weight for over a decade. I started counting calories. The amount I was supposed to be consuming to safely gain would make me gain a few kilos over a few months and then, keeping the same amount since I wasn’t at my goal yet, would make me lose them again. The rates of gaining and losing would vary wildly, too. After reaching my goal and eating for what was supposed to be maintenance, I suddenly lost 5 kg in less than a month. And I’m seeing a specialist for hormone tests once a month. Imagine how bad it would be if I couldn’t.

Yes, CICO works, since energy is a conserved quantity. That much is very true. What isn’t true at all is that CICO is simple.

It takes time and energy to figure out how many calories you’re ingesting. And that’s the simple part. Knowing how many calories you’re actually absorbing and how many you’re actually burning takes professional help. And finally, those things are highly volatile and change a lot throughout your life, depending on a plethora of factors.

Many people don’t have the resources to access that stuff, starting with enough free time.

Very good attitude! You sound like a great and supportive spouse. I’m lucky to have a partner like that, too. Love back from Switzerland ✨

That sucks, didnt know charging by the minute was still a thing at all in some places.

Anyone who uses Facebook messenger as their only messenging app will need to text or call me. Fuck that. I do, however, use WhatsApp and discord for work and uni group chats. If or when that’s no longer the case, people who only use those will need to text me, too.

Thanks for th write up! It was very helpful, I was feeling super off about it because, like I said, im autistic, and I do also have some complex trauma. It was especially upsetting because my autism is literally what I am. It’s important to my identity in a similar way and as much as my gender identity, for example. And trauma is something purely negative that I wish I wouldn’t have gone through.

What does kind of make sense though is how trauma can exacerbate symptoms, such as being easily overwhelmed with seemingly innocuous situations.

You got a source on autism coming from trauma etc.? I’m autistic myself and have never heard of autism not already being present at birth.

People hate Turkish people because they hate immigrants (for no reason), and there’s some Turkish immigrant community in Europe.

Tbf when it’s greasy delivery pizza and you’re high what you’re describing is the way to go

Friend of mine (m) and his then gf had a threesome with a woman and both him and his gf realised they were gay during that threesome.

Not a solution to all your problems of course, but the only way to buy something and preserve your privacy is to pay cash. Everything else will get your info to someone. Lots of good suggestions for lesser evils here for when you have no choice but to shop online.

We’re almost like coding siblings lol

I’m vegan anyway, so I go for soy protein! But I’d like an unflavored one to add to my oats and flavour them a different way. First world problem though.

Huh, is that why I can’t seem to find a non sweet protein powder?

You’re eating those as a treat, not for your health. You probably know the negative impact that sugar and trans fats have, so if you’re going to treat yourself, I’d say make sure to make it count.

Do you get more overall pleasure from a little bit of enjoyment throughout the day or from a lot of enjoyment for a short amount of time? Maybe half now and half later or tomorrow? That’s how I decide how to eat/do stuff that I enjoy but know can negatively impact my health if I over do it.

If you do want to make it less unhealthy though, try to make sure they’re not the only thing in your stomach and rinse your mouth after you’re done eating them.

I guess I don’t check my eye drops as much because I tend to finish them long before they expire. Routine things that only take a few seconds are easy to do without paying attention either way though.

I’m pretty book smart. I’m a theoretical physicist. This could very easily happen to me. Luckily, I don’t keep strong glue, so the only time it happened it was oily ear drops in my eyes that made my vision blurry for a little while.

Happiness can vary greatly even within a country. But there’s a yearly ranking of the happiest city in the world, and it’s almost always Vienna, fwiw

Assuming you’re genuinely asking (not always easy to tell on the internet, sorry):

The same way every formerly imperialist country benefits from imperialist legacy. Global economic inequality is neither a coincidence nor the result of some natural order. It’s of little benefit if I do a detailed write up on this topic since there’s tons of those coming up in a search engine. Here’s an example: https://cepr.org/voxeu/columns/economic-impact-colonialism

I know it’s not on Germany specifically, but imo it explains the principle quite well. Hope it helps, otherwise, ‘does the west still profit from imperialism’ was a useful search query for me.
