  • I guess with everything combined, one toastie is closer to 300 kcal, (local nutrition org says 81kcal per slice of bread) and doesn't really fit the low cal request, it's true.

    It works so well for me for staying away from just rawdogging a whole bag of potato chips, which isn't even that much more calories, but the type of calories are way worse.

  • This, ask questions, listen to the answers. If the personalities are so very different, I would make sure that i bring an extra dose of patience and chill, so that any moments where the personalities might 'clash' or find each other can be passed with respect and empathy, instead of frustration and emotion.

    If I need more 'connection power', I will omit any negative comments that might float up my brain and keep them for myself for a while, and only focus on sharing my positive or neutral (philosophical?) thoughts about the current subject. Hope you can find some points to connect, but taking this kind of step to help that along is already a great sign :-). If you could update us in a while, I would love that.

    EDIT I saw a list of his hobbies you shared, that opens up the convo a lot!

    Minecraft, baking and cooking would be my focus, because all of that can be co-op :-) and it aligns with my interests. You could start a Minecraft world together, so he can show you how it works. You could bake a cake together, or bake your own cake and then ask for tips on how to improve? Ask him what is his fav dish to cook and try to make a very good version of it together?

  • I grew up around dogs and when trying out the stuff I learned on cats, it worked about as well as we now might expect 😅. My theory was that I just didn't get them, so I would pass up on interactions because nails.

    Now I live with 2 cats of my own, and it's super cozy. But there was quite the learning curve! It was fun to learn it all, though.

    Anyway, wanting control is not just some weird kink/personality mishap when talking about it in context of dog ownership. Most of the time, either you are in control, or the dog is. Dogs in control are unsafe to be around, so you don't really have a choice.

  • For sho, I saw my parent struggle to the max to get back to healthy weights (for pressurized air diving, you need so much lead on your belt to pull an obese human deeper under water), so when I detect weight gain I'm very motivated to adjust my lifestyle immediately to correct it. I have thanked them multiple times for this perspective, it might have saved me from investing so much effort in weightloss over time.

    We are quoting anonymously those who did respond, to allow them the freedom to give us their most candid answers. These have been edited for length and clarity. Some have previously been reported by Fortune.

    **Personal responses to the killing **

    — “The disconnect between public perception and personal humanity has been striking, with some commentary bordering on dehumanizing. This highlights the critical need to humanize leadership and address the pressures faced in high-visibility roles.”

    — “My challenge is keeping employees engaged. How do you maintain a sense of purpose if you think your customers hate you?”

    — “I have to wonder if the demonization of corporate America and the wealthy over the last four years planted a mind virus in the assassin’s mind.”

    — “If you walk by the place where it happened, it’s business as usual, which gives me some perspective. This was a random killing by a mentally ill person. Let’s not turn a tragic incident into a trend. Most people don’t hate CEOs. They don’t care about CEOs. They have bigger issues to care about.”

    ..."

    Wow. 'demonization', 'need to humanize leadership'... Are these human people that were interviewed? Did these human persons speak anyone outside their immediate circle in the last three decades? I can hardly believe that, this is so out of touch that these folk may have never been touched by anything in their lives. I wasn't prepared for this speedrun worldrecord to definitively prove total lack of empathy and understanding.

  • Hear hear! We're all witnessing what can happen with something nice, if you nurture it and keep improving, slowly, instead of the new pattern of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish or insisting on extracting maximum value. Modern Wikipedia is often rich in content and fun to use. I love it :)

  • Wow, I have seen a lot of interviews and media around Conahan's conviction, and this guy is either the most stone cold child hating person I have ever met heard about, or is somehow completely insane/psychopathic and 100% oblivious to that fact, and I guess his whole family too. What a disgrace to the many, many victims he made.
