Because they’re overweight and a bunch of the fat ended up there and it makes them unhappy when they look in a mirror.

Theres a reason most fat males keep their shirts on at the beach.

Nah, we’re far too resourceful to be killed by climate change.

It may take out large chunks of the global population, but we will adapt with technology to be able to still sustain billions of humans.

Humans are social animals, you’re the odd one out here from a social perspective, not that you’re not entitled to that choice but choices have consequences.

I’d suggest just ignoring them. You aren’t going to find a better work environment anywhere else unless you literally have no coworkers.

Still considered a laptop, they have low power modes for unplugged use.

BlameThePeacock , 1 day ago to technology in India to mandate USB-C connectors on smartphones and laptops by 2026

The only problem I have with this is that USB-C PD can only go to 240w, which is fine for most laptops but my current gaming laptop has a 240w power brick and it only has a 3060 in it. The 3080 and 3090 variants had 300w+ bricks IIRC.

I don’t live in India, but I hope gaming laptops get some sort of exception if their power draw can exceed the specification limits.

BlameThePeacock , 2 days ago to news in New York’s Fat Beach Day gives plus-size people a space to be themselves

If your job is so physically demanding as to make it impossible to stand, cut, and stir things, then why the fuck are you working out on top of that? Not to mention how much harder it should be to get fat in the first place…

You can eat ultra processed meals at that point, just don’t have four potions of them per meal and you won’t gain weight.

The biggest problem is the lack of planning. If you come home after working and don’t know what you have or what you’re going to make of course it’s going to feel difficult.

So spend 15 minutes on the weekend making a plan for all your meals for the week. Do a single grocery shop for everything you need to reduce trips to the store.

The when you get home on Wednesday, you already know you’re going to cook up some grilled cheese with soup (that’s in your freezer from last week when you made 5 portions) and you can pull it together while you watch an episode of your favorite tv show on the tablet you prop up on your counter.

When we say cheaper we mean dollars. The easier part of the statement covers the time.

If it takes you 30 minutes to make a single meal, it takes you 35 minutes to make 5-10 portions and freeze them. Then you can do the same as the processed meals and pull a different one out each day.

BlameThePeacock , 4 days ago to news in [Poll] Majority of young voters say it’s harder to buy a house, raise a family, get a good job: Poll [Miranda Nazzaro | 06/23/24 | The Hill]

25th percentile for median household income is only $133,000 per year, that’s not per person, that’s the entire household. You’re still working a full time job (or likely more) for that kind of wage. You probably also live in a high cost of living area. That’s comfortable, but hardly what I’d consider “easier” than the previous generation.

BlameThePeacock , 4 days ago to technology in Recommendation Algorithms & Advertising - Where do you draw the line?

I’m going to be the odd one out on this.

I prefer ultra customized recommendations, I wish they were even smarter. Especially if I’ve already bought something, I want them to know so they stop advertising that product to me.

I’d rather see ads for products that I may actually buy rather than for shit I don’t have the slightest interest in.

I rarely buy products without significant research, so ads aren’t likely to trick me into buying something of poor quality. I just need to have awareness of things I don’t even know exist.

Palestine also had Jews pre-biblical times, around 1000 BC. There are verses about the Kingdom of the Israel in the old testament, and it’s all part of that region.

BlameThePeacock , 4 days ago to news in New York’s Fat Beach Day gives plus-size people a space to be themselves

I’m just arguing that it’s not BOTH cheap and easy. It’s only one of those.

Also, don’t cook every meal. I cook 10 portions at a time for my family every time I make dinner and put leftovers in the fridge (or freezer) which reduces the total time to cook per week quite significantly. It barely takes longer to cook 10 portions compared to 2 portions, which drops the per portion cook time down to single digit minutes.
